ISy WiRe U: Internal Synergies for Wiser Resources Use in University Campuses

11th Cycle, 2015, ASP Cycle, ASP projects, Year

Sustainability has become an international agenda; and due to its size, complexity, and influence in society, it is important to enhance sustainability in Higher Educational Institutions (HEIs). Our team divide the big and wide terms of sustainable university into six clusters: Protocols, Economic and Feasible studies, Building Efficiency, Energy Efficiency, Food and Waste, and User […]

IntegraGreen: Integration of additive manufacturing and machining processes in view of green and sustainable development

11th Cycle, 2015, ASP Cycle, ASP projects, Year

The Additive Manufacturing technology is one of the agents responsible for the 4th industrial revolution for at least three reasons. First, it offers the possibility to produce complex parts without the design constraints of traditional manufacturing routes. Second, scrap rates for AM parts are usually below 5%, compared to scrap rates of more than 90%

Smart Light: Development of a smart automotive taillight system

11th Cycle, 2015, ASP Cycle, ASP projects, Year

The Smart Light project consists in the development of a car taillight that is smarter than what is currently available on the market. The objective is to overcome the mere signaling function of ordinary rear lights by producing a device that is able to effectively deal with variable weather conditions, so as to always guarantee

G-Neo Colloids: Development of novel guanidinoglycoside based nanoparticles and nanogels for an efficient delivery of unmodified therapeutics

11th Cycle, 2015, ASP Cycle, ASP projects, Year

Main purpose of the project has been the synthesis of a new nanogel based on a PEG-PEI copolymer decorated with a modified guanidino-glycoside compound. This nanogel should then offer the possibility to embody an antitumoral drug which did not need to undergo any previous chemical modification. The great strength of this nanogel is its ability

FIAMME: Finishing processes for additive manufactured metal components

12th Cycle, 2016, ASP Cycle, ASP projects, Year

The FIAMME project consisted in developing a surface finishing process that could be effective on additively manufactured (AM) components with complex geometries. AM parts can reach average roughness (Ra) values up to 100 µm, which strongly affects the possible application of the component. The team focused on the surface finishing of internal mini-channels of an

12th Cycle, 2016, ASP Cycle, ASP projects, Year

Technology allows people employed in certain jobs to work everywhere, as long as they have a laptop, a phone and internet connection. However, this does not mean that offices are no longer needed, especially in environments where creativity and problem-solving are daily activities. Human interaction is often the key to address such issues and come

MINT: Memristive Neuromorphics for Smart Internet of Things

12th Cycle, 2016, ASP Cycle, ASP projects, Year

This project focus on the evaluation of the memristive technology applied to a specific pattern recognition problem. In particular, we selected as pattern recognition problem the arrhythmia detection and we compared the memristive technology performance with the currently used one based on classical technology. The memristor is a newly discovered electronic component that can be
