T-Chair II – Assistive therapy concept for trunk balance & stability after stroke
Trunk control is a key factor for a successful rehabilitation outcome early after stroke. Training must start early after stroke in sitting as trunk control is essential for standing and walking. A robot assisted medical chair enables therapies at various levels of trunk-control impairment. The need for such a robot ...

Drone flight beyond visual line of sight
Research project to develop procedures for safe drone flight operations beyond visual line of sight (BVLOS). The term BVLOS describes a flight or part of a flight during which the drone pilot does not have visual contact with the drone. For example, these can be flights at night, flights in poor visibility (fog) or ...

Trend analysis of nitrogen dioxide concentrations in Eastern Switzerland
Nitrogen dioxide (NO2) is a component of air which, when too high in concentration, causes harmful effects to plants, over-fertilizes sensitive ecosystems, irritates eyes, respiratory system and skin. In addition, NO2 and volatile organic compounds form the educts that generate the pollutant ozone (O3). Therefore, ...

SBB-Research Funds 'Automated Timetable Planning'
Within the next 5 to 10 years, public transport in Switzerland as well as in other European countries will experience major technological and organisational changes. However, changes will also take place on the customer side, resulting in different mobility behaviour and demand patterns. These changes will lead to ...

Bio-SODA – Enabling Complex, Semantic Queries to Bioinformatics Databases through Intuitive Searching over Data (SNSF NRP 75 "Big Data")
One of the major promises of Big Data lies in the simultaneous mining of multiple sources of data. This is particularly important in life sciences, where different and complementary data are scattered across multiple resources. To overcome this issue, the use of RDF/semantic web technology is emerging, but querying ...

Valve mechanism for 3D printing with a pellet extruder
The development objective was to optimize the throughput and printing speed of a print head (extruder valve) for an FDM-3D printer. The approach focuses on an optimized separation between the hot melting area and the cool feeding area of the filament within the print head. This means that the area in which the ...
