In addition, the Haugaland Næringspark (HNP) is Norway´s largest zoned industrial park, with high ambitions for hosting new,...
...today made in large scale using fossil fuels and shipped as diluted solutions. A better way is on-site, modular production using renewable electricity. Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) is a versatile chemical used in many industries as a bleaching agent, an oxidizer and a disinfectant. H2O2 is today made in large...
...has been to develop the next generation spherical 3D camera for video and sound. Playback in VR goggles will provide the user with an immersive realistic presence. An ecosystem for recording and playback of 360 3D (3D60) video and sound was developed in this project. The primary playback platform is...
...work? Follow-up, dialogue, reporting, controls and sanctions. In this report we examine the follow-up routines for sick-listed employees. Important elements in the current follow-up regime are follow-up plans, dialogue meetings, activity demands, controls, and sanctions. Evaluating the effect of a system...
...impact studies and applications to aid the conservation and sustainable management of reindeer in Scandinavia. Over the past one hundred years, the world has changed quickly as a result of human activity. Climate change and its effects are often appear on the front page of the news, and human land usage...
...offshore wind turbines is affected by high operating and maintenance costs, which are due to two factors: lack of easy accessibility and harsh environmental conditions that cause high levels of corrosion. See the project webpage for more information and results. In light of this problem, the Watereye consortium—formed...
...development tools to users so they can easily tailor and compose services in ubiquitous environments. The main challenge of UbiCompForAll is to come up with solutions that both handle the engineering aspects of service composition, e.g., correctness, and remain intuitive enough for ordinary users. The more...
...detect and estimate the size of burrs. RGB-D scanning and reconstruction have advanced significantly in recent years, thanks to the growing availability of commodity range sensors like the Zivid, Microsoft Kinect, and Intel RealSense. State-of-the-art 3D reconstruction techniques can now capture and recreate...
The ReGenWool project focused on chemical recycling of low-grade wool and post-consumer wool waste, and utilizing the recycled materials to generate new materials. A transition from a linear economy to a circular one will be necessary to tackle the challenges related to the unsustainable use of finite...
...cooling technology based on the elastocaloric effect. The project is based on a thermodynamic cycle in which solid-state phase transformations release and absorb heat. Long-term operation without loss or fatigue is a prerequisite. This can be achieved by so-called supercompatibility of the two phases, which...
...are significant resources of wind power in areas where few people live, and which cannot be exploited due to a weak grid. A solution is to produce hydrogen and export it. For several years, SINTEF worked with Varanger Kraft and Berlevåg municipality in the extreme north of Norway. Berlevåg, a fishing...
...most critical and costly step to produce liquid fuel from natural gas using conventional routes, e.g. the stage of syngas production, and from the other side explores alternative routes to convert natural gas to liquid transportable products. The general objective is to explore novel and innovative (precompetitive)...
...ecological consequences, the issue weakens the sector’s public acceptance and increases operating and permitting costs associated with environmental monitoring programs and impact assessments. Alongside proper planning and siting, new methods for wind power development are needed to mitigate negative...
...deals with both a new traceable and steerable flexible tool (catheter) and software to improve the planning and guidance of bronchoscopic procedures. The goal is increased accuracy and success rates when taking tissue samples, fewer examinations, earlier diagnosis, and earlier correct treatment for patients...
...strategic project, SINTEF develops new and innovative sensor technology for 3D imaging based on structured light. Structured light is a reliable, robust and highly accurate method for 3D range imaging. One or more light patterns are projected onto the scene and an off-axis camera captures images of the...
By merging competences of metocean, wave hydrodynamics, and structural dynamics, the B -WAVES-project will gain new knowledge on the extreme waves and wave loads that bottom fixed offshore wind turbines experience during its lifetime. An important technology enabling the energy transition from fossil...
...4REFINERY will develop and demonstrate the production of next generation biofuels from more efficient primary liquefaction routes integrated with upgraded downstream (hydro)refining processes to achieve overall carbon yields of >45%. The consortium will aim for successful deployment into existing refineries...
...develop Deep Learning (DL) methods for accurate detection and prediction of the 6-Degrees of Freedom (6-DoF) pose of relevant objects in the challenging underwater environment. Intervention tasks on subsea installments require precise detection and localization of objects of interest. This problem is referred...
...realise the new low-cost concept and transfer the results into production. The new silicon based substrates will be made from low-cost material using state-of-the-art ceramics technologies. Cost effective processes for the formation of the thin film silicon base and the complete solar cell structure...
...advanced mass spectrometric techniques at SINTEF and the University of Eastern Finland to develop protocols that can reduce uncertainty in special core analysis (SCAL) data. SCAL encompasses laboratory tests on petroleum reservoir rock (drilling cores) and fluids to determine key reservoir engineering properties...
