TSCAC Two-species composite atomic clocks

This project will explore new techniques and methods to provide novel primary measurement standards for time and frequency. While today’s best optical clocks rely on the use of a single atomic reference transition, this project will investigate two-species composite atomic clocks that improve in terms of accuracy and frequency instability. The project fosters collaboration between leading scientists in the field with complementary expertise from NMIs, universities and research institutes.

Subcortical nuclei and cortical functions – insight from the deep brain stimulation perspective

Exact knowledge of the role of the subcortical nuclei and their cortical relations in physiological and pathophysiological conditions still remains insufficiently explained. Deep brain stimulation (DBS) is an established treatment for late motor symptoms in Parkinson’s disease (PD) and provides an opportunity to study such interactions, mainly via direct intracranial recording of local field potentials. Surface HDEEG method (high- density EEG) in combination with source reconstruction algorithms represents a new approach to study the impact of DBS on whole brain networks functioning.

Advanced building elements for automated quality control at Factory 4.0

The project aims to develop a set of new purpose-built design nodes for efficient automation in the manufacturing of components for the automotive, fine mechanics and optics. The set incorporates an ultra-precise laser system for the dimensional inspection of manufactured parts and calibration the object shapes in a meter-length range. This focus is a response to market developments over the past three years, where experienced workers are dwindling, while the demand for more accurate and faster production control with cost savings is growing.

Non-invasive ventricular electrical activation mapping – 3D VDI mapping

The 3D VDI mapping project aims to research, develop, and implement a highly innovative diagnostic device for non-invasive mapping of electrical activation of heart ventricles. The 3D VDI mapping project's principal added value is the use of the new principle of ultra-high-frequency ECG combined with an extended set of chest electrodes. The result will be an easy-to-apply chest strap electrode configuration and original analysis. There is currently no comparable technology. The commercial potential of VDI mapping is remarkably high worldwide.
