Exhibition on ICT solutions in different sectors
Visitors at the Visby Agenda meeting are given the opportunity to look at exhibitions of several EU-projects with different ICT solutions for sectors such as medicine, transport, SME and energy. The exhibition will be open to participants and European media throughout the meeting.
Pof-Plus
The project Pof-Plus aims at building home networks of the future with improved performances in terms of speed and usability. It promises an increase in performance of plastic fibre optical links of yet another order of magnitude - eventually targeting 10 Gbits/s. The extreme simplicity of POF allows do-it-yourself installation, which reduces the costs significantly.
Alpha
The ALPHA project addresses the challenges of building future communications access and all types of in-building networks for home and office environments. The project supports the evolution towards a cognitive network by dynamically utilising the resources of an optical network infrastructure to support a heterogeneous environment of wired and wireless technologies.
FNIR
FNIR is a system/concept oriented project aimed at evaluating the opportunities of using fused Near Infrared (NIR) and Far Infrared (FIR) sensors in Night Vision systems for automobiles. The objective of the FNIR project is to achieve higher pedestrian detection performance than what is achieved today.
STORK
The aim of the STORK project is to establish a European eID Interoperability Platform that will allow citizens to establish new e-relations across borders, just by presenting their national eID. Cross-border user authentication for such e-relations will be applied and tested by the project by means of five pilot projects that will use existing government services in EU Member States. The pilot projects are Cross-border Authentication Platform for Electronic Services, Safer Chat, Student Mobility, eDelivery and Change of Adress.
DEHEMS
The Digital Environment Home Energy Management System (DEHEMS) is a project looking at how technology can improve domestic energy efficiency. By providing households with a new online energy "dashboard" the project will help them cut their energy bills. The dashboard provides a range of energy use information both for the household in general and for individual appliances.
ETB Pegasus Joint Angle System
This project has resulted in a portable system for measuring strides. Gathering of data is done by attaching straps and sensors to the legs. The patient is then asked to walk or run at varying speed. The resulting data consists of for example stride duration and knee flexion and is presented in plots which are used for further treatment. The system was initially tested on horses and will shortly be used as a tool for trainers.
