The monitoring of print and online media has been taking place more or less automatically for a long time. Since an ever greater proportion of new content is produced first or even exclusively for audiovisual (AV) media, the importance of monitoring these AV media has soared. Since the monitoring of AV media can ...

We recently released "A Theory of Natural Intelligence", proposing a possible key to the emergence of intelligence in biological learners. Goal of this fellowship is to develop a technical implementation of the concept of self-organizing netfragments within contemporary deep artificial neural nets.  ...

MBS (feasibility study): Use of XR (Mixed Reality) in plant engineering. By walking through large plants together in virtual space in the early stages of the development process:  shortened process time Reduction of planning errors and time-consuming coordination with international   customers Reduction in the ...

The idea of this project is to develop an LLM aaS that offers selection, usage and integration of LLM-based applications to companies. Based on bmq experiences we want to start with content adaption (adaption of an initial contenct piece to e.g. different social media channels) as an initial use case to shape and ...

Today, when a new component has to be manufactured, the choice of the supply and production value chain is mainly led by a techno-economic evaluation, and the "sustainability" of the solution is not considered.   Given different efficiencies of the manufacturing processes, in terms of resources consumption, it is ...

Public transport in Switzerland and in Latin America is organised differently and operated with different levels of reliability, innovation priorities, and acceptance of digital support solutions by passengers. The common element is that in both regions, operators struggle with optimising the offered services to ...

With the Augmented Realitiy (AR) outdoor mission " Escape the Fossils", we want to create awareness and communicate our current research on energy transitions. It will specicially target students from 12 years. For this reason supporting material will be developed. The project partnership between the institute of ...

Phones and notebooks do not require much power? Wrong, most usage patterns involve the heavy use of cloud services. In contrast to device consumption, the extent of this indirect consumption is unknown to users. This project delivers a tool to trace cloud use and convey a CO2 equivalent to the user.  ...

The Geoforschungszentrum Potsdam is researching the exchange processes between the ground and the atmosphere. To this end, the climate-relevant gases methane and CO2 are to be measured in air layers near the ground in order to make climate models more accurate. This is being done with an unmanned aerial vehicle. The ...

The aim of the workshop is to present recent research results on dynamic scheduling problems, in which job processing times, machine speeds or other parameters of the problems are variable and dynamically change in time.

Climate change is accelerating and affects livelihoods already now, while society needs to prepare for a future, even hotter climate. Among many other impacts, climate change affects human health and leads to excess mortality due to heat. In cities, the Urban Heat Island (UHI) effect exacerbates the problem, all the ...

An Inventive High-Thrust Micro-Propulsion System Compatible with Small-Satellites' Safety and Budget Requirements.  The need for high-thrust propulsion systems compatible with small satellites for applications such as constellation deployment, orbit maintenance and stationkeeping is particularly emerging. A ...

The Centre for Artificial Intelligence (CAI) of the ZHAW, together with the Cantonal Hospital Aarau, has laid the foundations for machine learning-supported body composition analysis on image files of the KSA within the framework of preliminary studies and has achieved promising results. The aim of this project is ...

The goal of the project is the realization of a non-dispersive sensor platform for process analytics. The measuring principle is Raman spectroscopy, which due to its high analytical specificity is well suited for process monitoring both in liquid and gas applications.

Electrical systems are working close to their operational limits and the energy transitions are not even close to being fully implemented. In addition, the digitalization of energy systems is equipping electrical systems with sophisticated measurement equipment that has changed the way they communicate their data. ...

In this project, we focus on the current state of Android security. One main focus will be to determine current difficulties and limitations that hinder security researchers in performing a dynamic analysis of Android pre-installed software components such as pre-installed apps or native libraries. In a first step, ...

To provide reliability and security to the electrical network and minimize potential collapses, the current strategies to control the charging process, namely the optimal handling of the power electronic components involved, need to be improved and new control algorithms are urged to be developed, which should be ...

Cloud-simulation based development of a novel type of valve, specifically scaled for application in the med-tech sector.

Metal additive manufacturing (AM) has proven to be an attractive and viable technology for industry to produce complex components and/or small lot sizes. The reliability and thus acceptance of metal laser powder bed fusion (LPBF) remains a challenge though. Severe thermal gradients can occur causing excessive ...

Simulation based development of a novel, aseptic process-valve for non-newtonian fluids. We apply finite-volume and finite-element based numerical methods, multiphysics simulations and massive simultaneous cloud computing.

Within LaPaSim we will develop the Multiphysics simulation models for an industrial unit of a novel ambient temperature drying tech-nology (LaminarPace) enabling dry powder and temperature-stable vaccines, at an industrial scale and ready for integration in commercial production. An innovative ...

Digital Health Zurich researches digital health solutions in the hospital context and implements them efficiently and with practical relevance. Core topics are Patient Reported Outcome Measure (PROMs), remote monitoring, integrated care and related technologies as well as empowerment of patients and staff. Our ...

REBECCA, a heavily SME-driven project, will democratize the development of novel edge AI systems. Towards this aim, REBECCA will develop a purely European complete Hardware(HW) and Software(SW) stack around a RISC-V CPU, which will provide significantly higher levels of a) performance (e.g., inferences per second), ...
