...family of standards operating in the 5091-5150 MHz MLS extension band. This standard, and in particular IEEE 802.16e (WIMAX) supporting mobility, is a technically advanced standard incorporating a wide range of features and options for setting key parameters....
SINTEF can certify safety critical systems and advanced safety related equipment according to the standard series IEC 61508. Read more: Ceritification IEC 61508...
... with water used as the reactive medium. During the process, the feedstock decomposes forming solids, a liquid phase, consisting of aqueous and oily streams and a small amount of gas. It is ideal for processing wet biomass since large thermal energy savings can be achieved by avoiding the drying step...
SINTEF Minalab has been a pioneer in the development and manufacturer of silicon radiation sensors for space and scientific applications since the 1980s. For space applications, the team has developed and fabricated sensors for imaging telescope and radiation monitoring. Amongst our most recent development...
Railway systems are large, complex and much interconnected organisms. Because of such complexity, of their huge cost and tremendous impact on society, they need to be carefully planned in every phase - strategic, tactical and operational. However, planning and operating railway transportation systems...
...commercialization faces obstacles such as relatively high CAPEX and concerns regarding safety and sustainability, particularly regarding the toxicity and corrosiveness of vanadium. SINTEF is central in pioneering advancements in chemistry and flow system designs to unlock the full potential of flow batteries...
...environmental impact of a product or a building throughout its life cycle, from raw material extraction, transport, production, and use to disposal. SINTEF uses the method in research projects and in preparing environmental declarations (EPD). Are you a producer? Feel free to contact us for an offer on EPD on your...
We work directly with design of algorithms and their efficient implementation on modern GPU architectures. This requires a deep understanding of the hardware and the problem area. We are particularly interested in making computational software that clearly isolates the numerics from the parallelization...
In IMTA, a minimum of two aquatic species from different trophic levels (e.g salmon and kelp) are farmed in an integrated fashion to improve efficiency, reduce waste, and provide ecosystem services. Macroalgae (seaweed) aquaculture can potentially remove over 75,000 tons of nitrogen per year by producing...
...data collected from smartphones, we can obtain motion data of vulnerable road users (e.g. pedestrians and cyclists). Such data can be used to analyse travel behaviour for pedestrians, cyclists, and users of public transport. By associating data from different sources, proactive systems can be developed...
Sports leagues and tournaments around the world must be scheduled on a daily basis by thousands of sport federations, associations, clubs and organizers, both professional and non-professional. Sports scheduling mainly consists in determining the date and the venue in which the games of a tournament...
...pretreatment of biomass. The treatment results in increased heating value and increased energy density (after compaction), lower grinding energy requirement, smaller particles and narrower particle size distribution after grinding and a hydrophobic nature of the solid product. The hydrophobic nature means...
The design, operation, and maintenance of energy systems are complex tasks for which there is a need for better decision support systems. Great savings and increased service levels may be achieved by exploiting technologies from the domains of artificial intelligence and optimization. The need for better...
...management and management of Lean processes. Our strength is that we adapt Lean work within companies to the current situation and degree of Lean-maturity. All of our Lean-consultants have extensive practical experience in line management and management of Lean processes in various Norwegian and international...
...robotic arm is tasked with picking up and moving objects. This might entail generating valid grasps based on sensor inputs, e.g., a depth camera, and finding a valid path for the robot to follow in order to pick up and move the object, while avoiding obstacles and taking other constraints into account...
Hydrogen is an important chemical in industrial processes and also an energy vector. Hydrogen is getting more attention to produce energy and also as fuel without net mobile emissions of CO2. bilde1 Most of the chemical hydrogen is produced by steam-methane reforming. The state-of-the-art technology...
ICT solutions for smart cities are large and long-lived systems-of-systems. These are complex solutions with many actors and many heterogeneous systems involved. The systems involved must adapt both to different situations and to a holistic solution that will emerge over time. To cope with these challenges...
... texture, colour, gloss and transparency. The perceived appearance of an object does not only relate to physical measurable parameters, but also involves the physiological response of the human visual system, as well as the psychological aspects of human learning, culture and tradition. The various human...
...methods will be inconsistent and can introduce significant numerical errors. Grid-orientation errors resulting from inconsistent discretizations are particularly pronounced in simulating flow in porous media, where the conductivity tensor K usually is strongly anisotropic and complex polytopal grids are...
Conservation and balance laws solutions often have discontinuities. High-resolution methods avoid oscillations or excessive smoothing seen in classical schemes with nonlinear strategies that combine first-order stencils near discontinuities with higher-order stencils elsewhere for accurate results. We...
