Automated Firewood Cutting
An Austrian entrepreneur seeks partners for the development and manufacture of a cutting machine system that enables
AT
firewood to be cut across its length at predetermined positions to produce stove ready firewood automatically with a reduced
noise emission, more cheaply and completely without risk of industrial injuries. The firewood is sawn along its length with
a minimum of two cuts and preferably a maximum of six cuts. Adjustable diagonally to the cutting direction.

DNA detection methods
A small Dutch company has developed several DNA detection methods for several plant pathogens. In the agricultural
NL
for several plant pathogens
environment these techniques have not been applied yet. The company is looking for know-how in DNA detection methods
especially manufacturing and marketing expertice of DNA detection kits in the agricultural sector (growers of vegetables,
flowers and pot plants)

SYNTHESIS OF IRON CHELATES FERTILISERS
A new synthesis pathway for the preparation of bis (2-hydroxiaryl)amin-acetic acids presenting high purity and with a good ES
OF HIGH PURITY
yield has been developed by a research team from the Chemistry Department of The Autonomous University of Madrid.
The compounds may be used as ligands to obtain iron chelates with fertilisers. The group is looking for companies specialized
in fertiliser compounds for commercial agreements.

New concentrate (from olive oil extraction
A Spanish research institution has developed a concentrate feedstuff based on two products from the olive oil extraction:
ES
process) for ruminants feeding
the dried and extracted olive cakes and the ashes produced during the burning of the mentioned olive cakes. The advantages
are: new technology, new byproduct of vegetal origin, alternative source in areas of olive cultives, innovative ingredient.
Collaboration sought: license agreement, financial support.

Improving chain drives
A small German company with wide experience in chain and sprocket wheel drives has developed a chain guide that
DE
improves lubrication and reduces wear in chain drives without any additional effort as compared to conventional chain guides.
The active principle is based on variation of chain bearings and thereby the avoidance of unilateral wear. The chain drives are
widely applied in different industries. The company looks for industrial partner for licensing agreement.

Robot Operated Automatic Garage and/or
A small Austrian company offers it’s know how related to an automatic system for car parking or product storing (result of two AT
Storage System
research projects by German/Austrian consortium). The system does not use a conveyor system, instead it uses robots to drag
the car or article to the storage place. Avoiding conveyors makes the system much cheaper. Investors are needed as well as
builders and experts to complete the system with additional components and to realize a pilot project.
7556
A C-shaped large and light structure mainly
A French SME developed and patented a clinching structure for metal sheet coupling. Naturally dedicated to automotive
FR
used for riveting and clinching
applications, its use could perfectly be enlarged to various application sectors needing metal sheets coupling (aeronautics).
The SME is looking for license agreements. Markets aimed are automotive industry, aeronautics and other derivatives.

Chaos secure communications
An Italian research centre, specialised in electronic engineering, has developed chaos-based algorithms and circuits inspired
IT
for sensor applications
from secure communication technologies, to improve the performance of sensors, especially those working in noisy and
multi-user environments. The circuitry adopted is simple, low-cost and mostly analogue, thus competitive. The proposed systems
can be applied to existing sensor systems to improve their efficiency. They are looking for licensing or manufacturing agreements.
7669
Cellular non-linear networks for motion control
An Italian research centre, specialised in electronic engineering, has developed an analogue parallel circuitry for the control
IT
of artificial locomotion. The technology has several applications: from control of distributed mono-dimensional/two-dimensional
structures (i.e. conveyor belts) to bio-inspired robots. The technology’s flexibility and its applications to other complex structures
are guaranteed by the modularity of the approach. They want partners for a license or manufacturing agreement
7636
DASP Technology for processing signals digitally
A Latvian company offers a technology for special Radio Frequency signal digitising and direct digital processing at
LV
in the frequency range up to 2-3 GHz
frequencies much higher than those covered by traditional methods. Many variable application analog systems, working in the
frequency range up to 2-3 GHz can be replaced by their digital counterparts on the basis of this approach and currently
available microelectronic chips. They are looking for industrial partners interested in joint commercialisation of the technology.
7608
High-speed automated cross-cut saw
A small Italian company has developed a cross-cut saw machine (patented) that can cut any type of deformed, concave,
IT
for wood boards
convex non-trimmed, split and non-aligned board.
7634
POWER CHUCK WITH AUTOMATIC
A Hungarian industrial SME has invented a revolutionary new power chuck family, which ensures higher productivity through
HU
JAW SETTING
reducing the setting time. Jaw setting is possible in 20 second. It is CNC controlled and fully automatic. Centrifugal force
compensation ensures higher speed. Prototypes are ready for demonstration. We are looking for a cooperation partner to
exploit the market potential of the invention.

RETINA: An innovative automated
The Systems Engineering &Automatics Division UPM-DISAM of Spain has developed RETINA, a digger with a remote
ES
intelligent digger
control arm (by means of an ergonomic control). Through it, the operator feels the work and movement of the digger.
The system can incorporate a video camera (optionally 3D). RETINA can be remotely controlled with a high telepresence
feeling. It also operates in robot mode, with absolute autonomy. They would like to contact a company interested in
teleoperations civil work machinery.
