BCTLab awarded for the best innovation plan by UnInova project

2011-11-25 - BCTLab

Its been half of the year since BCTLab has participated in the UnInova project (more info can be found here) to go through the process of open innovations. Two BCTLab members Vincas Benevičius and Mantas Venslauskas together with Daiva Valiukonytė (Kaunas University of Technology) and Tadas Armonas (NorthTown Technology Park) closely cooperated as a team during the project activities to bring the winning innovation plan for the web based wellness platform.

The evaluation of the plans (there were six cases) was done by well known Danish Technological Institute (DTI) specialists Henning Sejer Jacobsen,  Lars Holst-Jørgensen and Rolandas Strazdas who is assoc. prof. of Industrial Enterprises Management Department in Vilnius Gediminas Technical University  (VGTU).

Congratulations!

International WSN-DPCM research project aims at developing a full platform to address the main Wireless Sensor Network challenges for smart environments

2011-10-17 - BCTLab

The international research project WSN-DPCM (Wireless Sensor Network Development, Planning, Commissioning and Maintenance toolset) was launched in Madrid, Spain on the 13th and 14th of October at the Escuela Técnica Superior de Ingenieros Industriales of the Universidad Politécnica de Madrid (ETSII-UPM).

The expected main outcome of this three-year project is a platform including an integrated toolset that will allow developers to design, implement and deploy applications for smart homes and for private and public area monitoring. Two demonstrator scenarios with high cross-domain applicability to address societal needs will be built to evaluate the impact of the platform:

• Outdoor Parking Demonstrator in Madrid: A WSN will detect free parking slots, guiding drivers to them.
• Environmental Quality Demonstrator in Torino: A WSN will measure the air quality as well as noise, light and electromagnetic levels on city streets.

WSN-DPCM is a cooperation project of several technical universities and companies from Spain, Italy, Lithuania and Greece. The project is funded by the ARTEMIS Joint Undertaking (the European technology platform representing the field of advanced research and technology for embedded intelligence and systems), national authorities and European partner companies.

The project is coordinated by Métodos y Tecnología de Sistemas y Procesos S.L, a Spanish company. The total volume of the project is EUR 3.3 million.

Development of the Sensor System Technology to Monitor and Evaluate Human Physiological Data Employing MEMS, IT and Smart Textiles Technologies

2011-09-01 - BCTLab

Today BCTLab together with Kaunas University of Technology officially started a project "Development of the Sensor System Technology to Monitor and Evaluate Human Physiological Data Employing MEMS, IT and Smart Textiles Technologies" that is funded by Science, Innovation and Technology Agency through the program of High-tech Development.

This project aims to integrate innovative technologies, methodologies and software to overcome some of the market requirements. For these requirements to reach, project objections are:

• to create and develop smart textile bases sensors and methods that would provide the means of heart rate / ECG monitoring in a comfortable way for long time. Such sensors would be integrable into clothes what would allow completely unintrusive monitoring of the given parameter even in dry contact conditions;
• to find optimal placement position of the dynamics sensors (accelerometer) and to research impact of the skin rheological properties to the errors of the measurements;
• to create and develop a method to indirectly measure blood pressure values without restrictions of the conventional methods that are used today;
• to develop simple from the use point of view wearable solution to give feedback to the user about their performance, results, etc.;
• to develop parts of the integrated information technologies system to support provided solutions integration into complete system by the means of web and mobile technologies;
• to develop observed parameters evaluation methodology.

In addition, project tasks related to analysis and testing of the sensor will be fulfilled by applying modern theoretical and experimental research methods that are available at Kaunas University of Technology. They will include numerical analysis tools including application of finite element modeling software for simulations of sensor response and dynamic behavior as well as mathematical signal/data processing with custom-built algorithms; experimental analysis of sensor dynamic performance by means of state-of-the-art vibration measurement techniques including optical methods such as laser Doppler vibrometry, holographic interferometry, CCD-based laser displacement and accelerometric measurements.

For the best results to reach there was signed joint activities agreement between JSC Baltec CNC Technologies and Kaunas University of Technologies. The whole project duration - 24 months and it consist of 6 work packages / researches.
