Researchers at SINTEF and the University of Lund have investigated how we respond to various safety measures in case of fire in the tunnel. The illustration is taken from the VR film that the subjects got to see. Standard “A cloud of smoke rushed towards me at tremendous speed”, says SINTEF researcher...

Intersection algorithms for spline and NURBS curves and surfaces have been a central research topic since 1980. The first challenges addressed were related to the intersection of B-spline curves, and the intersection of B-spline curves and elementary curves. Then in 1984 we got the first results on recursive...

Tomorrow’s offshore oil will be highly viscous – and it will be a heavy job to bring it ashore. But newly-won knowledge is offering hope for fields that today would have been turned down by the economists. In the future it will quite literally be a heavier task to bring offshore oil ashore than it has...

Low cost prototyping and limited volume production are possible with Multi Project Wafer (MPW) services in which devices of different customers are fabricated in a single wafer run. Since multiple customers share the same mask set, the costs of mask making and fabrication are divided. MPW processing...
