Vir2sense: Virtual combustion and emission sensors
The idea behind Vir2sense is to equip combustion engines ranging from automotive to ship propulsion with virtual combustion and emission sensors. These sensors simplify the engine calibration process and help to fulfill the increasingly stringent emission legislations, especially in real driving conditions.
ATANA Engineering: A new high-tech self-service wardrobe system
Smart Wardrobe Systems develops a new high-tech self-service wardrobe system, which can be used at event sites, such as conference centers, fairs or malls. The product increases operational efficiency of event organizers as well as users’ satisfaction and convenience.
“Zero”: An automated design to build pipeline based on a groundbreaking 3D printing technology
The lean solution is an automated design to build pipelines based on a groundbreaking 3D printing technology that constructs lightweight buildings and bridges like Lego pieces. The next generation CAAD software that runs the 3D printer has artificial intelligence at the core of its kernel that compresses building data by factor 1’000, allowing the highest level of mass-customization and exchange of data with the least amount of programming.
Sound-Proof: A fast, usable and secure 2FA mechanism
Passwords are weak and get reused. Websites can use two-factor authentication (2FA) to prevent account breaches. Users don't like 2FA because it is cumbersome. Sound-Proof is a fast, usable and secure 2FA mechanism that companies want and users like.
