Enhancing the Lifetime of Solid Oxide Fuel Cell stacks in Switzerland
The lifetime of Solid Oxide Fuel Cell Stacks was investigated by means of experimental investigations (e.g. Impedance spectroscopy, physical/electrochemical characterization), microstructure analysis (SEM, FIB-tomography, EDX) and numerical simulation (Finite Element Modelling). A particular focus of the ...

Innovative approach of a hybrid precision load cell
Force-compensating precision load cells for the highest metrological requirements are built either as conventional cells (consisting of up to 150 individual parts) or as monolithic cells (made from one block). Both types offer specific advantages and disadvantages. Part of this project is the targeted merging of the ...

Modeling Writing Phases
Writing is a key component of practically all domains of human endeavor. Through writing, we build up social networks, develop projects, inform colleagues and customers, and generate the basis for decisions. The quality of writing is often decisive for social resonance and professional success. Nevertheless, we ...

SCATh
Modern medicine is irreversibly shifting towards less invasive surgical procedures. Conventional open surgery approaches are systematically being replaced by interventions that reduce access trauma and thereby minimise pain and hospitalisation periods for patients. The downside of this approach is that it is highly ...
