ADGA RHEA took part in the seventh annual NATO Cyber Coalition 2014 (CC14) by providing a leading cyber security system to help exchange critical cyber information and promote a collective defense approach to cyber security. This four-day exercise was attended by over 650 participants who gathered together to test NATO’s ability to defend its networks [...]
Over the years, the application of in-vitro diagnostics (IVD) technologies in clinical diagnosis has evolved multifold. The global IVD market (segmented into diabetes, infectious diseases, oncology, cardiology, HIV/AIDS, autoimmune diseases, drug testing, nephrology, and other applications) is rising to 69 billion euros revenue by 2020. Rising incidences of chronic and infectious diseases and increasing healthcare [...]
Online analyzer with algae as a test organism to monitor chronic and acute Ecotoxicological effects of discharged effluents.
Precision farming is set to become even more precise with a new camera drawing on satellite imaging. Thanks to research with ESA on new cameras, hyperspectral cameras flying on drones are now able to see details as small as 4–5 cm. Three customers are already using the first version of the ButterflEYE LS camera: in [...]
Can you imagine a traditional drone entering a building? It could resemble a action-thriller feature film, with the propellors causing lethal damage or colliding with obstacles. But not with Fleye: this soccer ball-shaped flying robot carrying a high definition camera weighing less than half a kilogram is as likeable as Startwar’s Sphero BB-8, with its [...]
As we get older, it becomes increasingly difficult to see close-up. Our eye needs to adapt to see both close up and far away. This natural adaptation by the human lens is also called accommodation. The human lens loses elasticity with age and does not accommodate as easily, reducing the sharpness of the image of [...]
A Belgian company with extensive expertise in vision and optical metrology has developed a multifunctional microscope, which can be used both as a confocal scanning microscope (LCSM) with dual-wavelength fluorescence imaging and as a differential imaging contrast (DIC) microscope. What’s more, this high-performing microscope is very compact and has a low power consumption. Individual DIC [...]
ESAComp is software for the analysis and design of fiber-reinforced composites. Its scope ranges from conceptual and preliminary design of fiber-reinforced layered composite laminates structures to analyses of details of the mechanical and thermic properties. ESAComp is a stand-alone software tool, but thanks to its ability to interface with widely-used finite element software packages, ESAComp [...]
According to Wohlers Report 2016, the AM industry grew 25.9% CAGR to $5.165 billion in 2015. Furthermore, the AM industry revenue forecast by 2020 grew from 9 B$ to 21 B$ between Wholers Report 2013 and 2014. Lightweighting, more integration, topology optimization and customization are some of the key benefits from Additive Manufacturing. In the [...]
The offer is from a Belgian company and technology provider that specializes in vibration control and has an extensive track record with respect to both active and passive damping and anti-noise systems: Structural damping avoids perturbations being amplified by structural resonances, and anti-noise consists of cancelling the vibration by generating a force opposite to the [...]
X-ray fluorescence (XRF) is a proven technique for material analysis in a broad range of industries and applications; from positive material identification, scrap metal sorting, measuring sulfur in oil, analysis of coating thickness of metal finishing and metal alloys to quality control in the electronics and consumer goods industry. With a flexible algorithm and a [...]
With extensive usage of radiography in medical diagnostics, achieving the lowest possible dose imaging is a driving force for the X-ray image sensor community. Furthermore, medical diagnostics would benefit greatly from true colour X-ray imaging. A low-cost and low-power X-ray photon counting detector has been developed with the highest possible scalability and manufacturability. The sensor [...]
An industrial optical engineering firm from Belgium has developed and patented the phase-shifting Schlieren method, filling a niche in the range of optical measurement techniques. This submicron method comes close to the resolution achieved by interferometric systems but without their inherent limitations (cost, environment insulation, sensitivity, limited shape steepness). It has a variable sensitivity, both [...]
VITO, a leading European independent research and technology organisation, is headquartered in Belgium. The offer comprises a hyperspectral camera (to be mounted on a variety of small remotely piloted aircraft), image processing and mapping software. The imaging solution can be used for agriculture monitoring, increasing production yields and reducing operational costs. VITO wishes to transfer [...]
Companies are bound to European legislation (91/27/EEC EC directive concerning urban wastewater treatment) via their national environmental agency. One of the main principles of this directive is the monitoring aspects in terms of parameters monitored, analytical method and sampling frequency. Member States are required to ensure that both discharges from wastewater treatment plants and receiving [...]
A European wind turbine maker found itself with an emergency: their new clean-energy turbines were efficient, effective and state-of-the-art – but they were too noisy. It turned out that ESA’s advanced Darwin planet-hunter study provided a smart answer: using the same approach that keeps multiple telescope mirrors precisely aligned to cancel out turbine vibration before [...]
A Belgian university research group frequently collaborating with ESA/NASA with a large body of knowledge in data processing algorithms, classification algorithms has developed advanced data mining techniques for automatic spacecraft status characterization. The tools were developed for novelty detection in large sets of telemetry parameters and derived parameters to be used in environments where automatic [...]
