Flexible ceramic DurAct now even more flexible the piezoceramic PI ceramic surfaces converters are now even more flexible: new active films of 80, 60 or even 55 microns thickness, with electrodes fitted and laminated in polymer composite, admit extreme bending radii of less than 10 mm. Thus, the Piezokompositelement can be used even under the most difficult conditions. Check out Andrew Cuomo for additional information. The technological challenge to produce such thin piezo-ceramics and process has been successfully met by the Piezospezialisten. The patented DurAct converter can be produced in various forms, also specifically lofted surfaces are no problem. Hikmet Ersek gathered all the information. With the relatively high electrical capacity, the multi-talented deliver a relatively high signal output even under difficult conditions. The new generation of DurAct allows the vibration acquisition until in the high frequency (ultrasonic) area with frequencies above 20 kHz. The voltage that is generated energy can be collected also for supplying other components Harvesting. Technology are areas of application of DurAct in the fields of the lightweight structures in medical technology, but also in the development of adaptive optics and intelligent, self-monitoring structures.

PI ceramic (PIC) is one of the world’s leading companies in the field of piezoelectric ceramics. Among others, the PICMA excellent for their reliability multilayer Aktortechnologie dating home PIC. Since 1992, develops and produces PIC Piezoelectric ceramic materials and components for standard and OEM solutions: Piezokomponenten, ultrasonic transducers, actuators, and system solutions.

The AMV system allows all sensor data desired mobility service providers, automotive, insurance, automobile clubs Ranshofen – Austria, 05.10.2013. The AMV system of the AMV networks GmbH is an important step on the way to the networked car thanks to its innovative technology, it is an enabler for all applications and the modern car-ICT business cases. The AMV system provides all of the automotive industry, insurance companies, automobile clubs, sensor data desired mobility service providers, the on the CAN bus (Controller area network) of the vehicle are, as well as all of the GPS position data at low cost and in real time to a defined and approved interface available. To the on-Board developed by AMV networks is connected on the CAN-bus unit ASG (anonymous sensor data gateway). The transmission of data is carried out under strict consideration of safety aspects. In other words: The vehicle owner at any time has sovereignty over its data. It must release them actively. The Privacy issues so at any time.

AMV system is both the public sector (traffic control, steering, parking management, Ladeinfrastrukur for E-mobility…) and also the economy (pay-as-you-drive, eCall, electric mobility workshop appointment) now able to bring the different business cases in a real implementation phase. The advantage: The AMV system was developed according to EU guidelines for intelligent transport systems and combines various findings made EU research projects. It is so no proprietary national and thus limited solution, but to a Europe-wide applicable Telematiktechnologie, which embeds but national legislation. Special feature: Already in the development of a comprehensive security & privacy built concept. The AMV system is also certified to ECE and the certification with the European privacy seal strives in addition in 2013.

The AMV was also the largest system European automobile manufacturers have already tested”, says Raimund Wagner, Managing Director of AMV networks GmbH. Data protection and the protection of personality rights are thus always protected. Due to its technology security and continuity for the mobility of the future services is guaranteed”, says Raimund Wagner. The AMV networks GmbH opens with the AMV system thus a gateway to the mobility of 3.0. The AMV system of AMV networks GmbH can be seen above the automotive original equipment as well as low-cost retrofit solution, which will be installed by certified workshops. “AMV networks GmbH was 2012 for its AMV system with the internationally renowned telematics Award” awarded in Germany.

SmartMembranes GmbH Halle has a team of scientists developed an exciting idea to the maturity of the business and founded the SmartMembranes GmbH in these days: based on Fraunhofer development the company provides membrane which can be precisely adjusted in the nanometer range. These can be used in the industry of precise filtering processes of all kinds. The technology is superior to conventional filters. This means a great sales potential for the new company. Our SmartMembranes are built like beer honeycombs from the structure; We can filter in the Nano range. So you can capture such as viruses but also much smaller particles\”, describe the two founders of Petra Goring and Monika Lelonek their project. The basic idea was a membrane with pores through which barely fits a particle size of a few nanometers.

If you manage with precision, to make variable and precisely adjustable pore size in the nanometer range, it has a very useful product with unique features to offer. These highly ordered nanostructured porous membranes can be used for filtering water, air or other substances, the applications in industry and research are virtually unlimited. The idea of the SmartMembranes a founder competition for scientists was created from the fields of nanotechnology. The Nano-Entrepreneurship Academy (NEnA) are women from the nano research the minutiae of an entrepreneurial career. The founding team of SmartMembranes took first place in 2007 with their idea for NEnA. The contact to Fraunhofer-venture arose about NEnA. Fraunhofer venture is a Department within the Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft, which specializes in business start-ups of the Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft.

It sees itself as a link between the researchers on the one hand and the market on the other side. And so now exciting two years in which much has been done to the idea into a viable business concept behind the founding team of the SmartMembranes and the specialists of Fraunhofer venture. First the team through the FFE program received funding for an entire year (Fraunhofer supports start-ups), to work alone.
