The laboratory of Physics and Chemistry of Nano-objects (LPCNO) in Toulouse (France) has de-veloped a new process, in organic medium, to synthetise magnetic-metallic nano-objects (Fe-Co) coated with a silica layer. The key point of this innovation is avoiding metal oxidation during the step of silica coating, preserving the core’s magnetic properties. Contrary to existing methods, the synthesis process is simple (only one step), and does not require the use of a coupling agent between the metallic core and the silica layer. Consequently this approach al-lows using those coated nano-objects in ambient medium. Besides those nano-objects do not bind together and one can control their magnetic stability.

A partner is sought to contribute to the development of this technology in the field of oncology.

Those nano-objects are biocompatible and stable, therefore they can be used for therapeutic applications such as magnetic hyperthermia and real-time optical detection of tumor size through surface functionalisation.

Synthesising biocompatible products is a major stake for cosmetic and biomedical industries. Pierre Monsan’s team in Toulouse (LISBP-INSA) has developed new enzymes transforming sugar called glucan-saccharases. One specific enzyme (DSR-S) allows synthesising from saccharose a glucose polymer called dextran, and obtaining in one step dextrans with controlled molecular weight and various structures (types of bond, size). These molecules of dextran, produced through an environmentally-friendly process, can be used for a large range of applications in cosmetics, biomedical and chemical industries: proven biocompatibility, controllable viscosity which is a key factor for cosmetic formulation, active ingredient for water retention, stimulation of cell growth as a major property for tissue regeneration, exclusion chromatography, biopolymer substituting synthesised polymer.

A partner is sought to contribute to the development of this technology in the fields of cosmetics and chemistry.

The ENAC (the French national school of civil aviation located in Toulouse) has patented an antenna favoring a particular direction unlike most of antennas which emit in all directions. The innovation is obtained by collocating 2 elementary antennas, both with a torus radiation pattern and a circular polarization. Practically, these 2 antennas can be obtained by excitation of a single antenna applied to 2 different points. Using square excitation sources, directivity can be obtained under some condition by constructive interferences on one side of the antenna and destructive on the other side. Contrary to classical directional small-size antennas (<λ/10), the design enables to bypass the use of horn or reflector. Although miniaturization, the antenna does not require the use of any dielectric material with high permittivity properties (like ceramics), this point allows space and cost savings compared to existing technologies. The antenna is slightly sensitive to its surrounding and thus can be integrated to any kind of material (metallic or plastic plans, integrated circuits). Different designs are possible: one example is a copper wire or band wrapped as an helical ring and excited on 2 feed points forming a 90 degree angle.

With an extrusion process, it is now possible to obtain fertilizer compounds from wood coproducts. It is a two step process: First, an extrusion process is applied under specific pressure and temperature conditions on wood coproducts. So decomposition of cellulose and lignin is quicker than natural methods and produces a rich fertilizing medium. Then, chemical treatment allows extraction and isolation of fertilizers called humic substances. These compounds ensure development, hydric and mineral nutrition. The product speeds up flowering, fruiting and biomass growth of several plants: for instance, geranium and begonia flowering occurs one week earlier.

The laboratory LCA-ENSIACET of INP Toulouse has developed a green polymer using a significant proportion of cellulose obtained from the fibrous part of plants, especially from wood, and also from straw or other waste. A remarkable aspect of the innovation is that contrary to vegetable oils, cellulose used for the process is not a food product (whereas most of vegetable oils used in other natural polymers are edible). Presently, cellulose percentage is 30%. The result is a polymer (cellulose ester) with favourable characteristics in terms of melting temperature and glass transition. This polymer is the binder for mineral material.

Agriculture is facing a double challenge: sustaining production growth under demographic pressure, while managing water as a more and more precious resource due to the climatic evolution context. Monitoring agricultural irrigation adapted to the hydric behavior of plants can efficiently contribute to the management of water resources. Thus, a mixed research team from Université de Toulouse Le Mirail, INP Toulouse and CNRS has developed an integrated optic sensor enabling remote measurement of the moisture level of agricultural vegetation. This device comprises on one hand the apparatus dedicated to detection, and on the other hand a system environment. During the measurement phase, a sample (e.g. a leaf) is delicately imprisoned between both parts of the sensor without destructive effect. The moisture contained within the plant tissue is very sensitive to infrared. So, the principle of measurement is based on optical properties of plants, notably the fraction of luminous intensity crossing a leaf: the transmittance. The system environment enables a remote monitoring of the sensor fitting and an automation of measurement cycle. Additional data relative to sensor condition and meteorology are also collected. A transportable, reliable and reduced cost telecommunication device collects the measurements and the sensor setting parameters in real-time.

Transfer opportunity: An industrial partner is sought for adapting the technology to agricultural needs and for commercialization.

Beekeeping requires thoughtful cares: production of high quality honey depends on health and behaviour of bees which are subject to several environmental parameters both inside and outside the hive. A laboratory of Université de Toulouse Le Mirail, in partnership with the companies MEAS SPEC and Vincent Michaud Investissement S.A. « Lune de Miel », has developed a process enabling remote monitoring and control of beehive networks. With a programmable periodicity, the system collects data from a group of hives located in a specific zone. The system enables beekeeper to check the health of the bees and to ensure activity is correct within the hives according to seasons, thus he can intervene efficiently when necessary; and this way he knows precisely when honey must be harvested. Furthermore, the innovation enables foresight management of the hives. Data collected thanks to several kinds of sensors inform about the weight of the hive (impacted by the stock of food the bees have kept to overwinter), the temperature (which informs about conditions of life and reproduction), the humidity (for knowing when to harvest honey), and the noise (which informs about activity). Outdoor parameters are added such as speed of wind, atmospheric pressure and pluviometry. Other important parameters like behaviour of the queen bee and variation of population can be integrated. Several beekeepers have expressed significant interest for this innovation, particularly because it allows managing networks of beehives located on different places.

The Laboratory of Physics and Chemistry of Nano-Objects from INSA Toulouse has developed a new process of electrical nanoimprint combining topographic structuring and electrical charge injection at micro/nanometric scale in thin layers of polymers. This double structuring - topographic and electric - carried out in only one stage, allows then the trapping on thousands of patterns of colloidal nanoparticles in solution by a simple dousing in a few seconds. This invention provides the possibility of producing at low-cost and in great quantity devices by using the innovating properties of nano-objects. Until now, the LPCNO has developed with sequential methods a certain number of very sensitive nanosensors with low energy consumption - strain gauges, moisture and gas sensors - and wish from now to use the electric process of nanoimprint for manufacturing these sensors to respond to industrial needs. Many applications are concerned: nano-electronics, photonics, technical materials, textiles, biotechnology, catalysis, medicine…

The laboratory seeks partners. Codevelopment or common projects could be possible ways to transfer these innovative sensors to the industry.

Thierry Bosch’s team, which is worldwide known for its expertise in optoelectronic sensors, has developed a new kind of laser vibrometer allowing direct measurement of vibration and target movement, without any contact, offering quite an improvement in terms of size, cost and robustness. This device is based on the use of laser diode being the light source, the interferometer and the detector all at once. Thus the sensor is compact and costs at least 10 times less than any existing interferometric device. Furthermore, unlike other instruments, this sensor can carry out measurements while being embedded on a moving structure and work without being on a vibration-free instrument. Its scope is up to several meters with an accuracy of 300 nm. Potential applications are avionics, building management, home medical monitoring, environment. In June 2010, Thierry Bosch’s team received the European Mechatronics Award from Thésame (European network in mechatronics) and Artema (mechatronics industrial union), Research category.

Partners are sought to contribute to the development of this sensor.

The struggle against noise becomes an important environmental preoccupation. Regulation changes, and makes industrialists provide products with better acoustical quality. On some conditions (temperatures, flow, mechanical constraints), classical acoustic treatments (mineral wool, acoustic foam) cannot be used. More robust solutions as treatments by acoustic resonators are then adopted. These resonators are composed of honeycomb-type cells resulting in perforated skins. This kind of treatment provides important rates of acoustic absorption but only for limited frequency ranges. ISAE has perfected a system which improves significantly and simply acoustic effectiveness of treatments by standards resonators. Based on an electromechanical system allowing to change the geometric characteristics of the resonators, this system allows to change their resonance frequency. The treatment is then able to fit frequency variations of noise and to optimise its absorption on a wide range of frequencies. Furthermore, this active system allows to treat noise for the same frequency range reducing size by half. This solution of noise treatment is particularly efficient in case of variable tone noise. It can be applied to any industrial sector willing to reduce noise generated by variable speed rotary systems: propulsion, ventilation, chillers or household appliance.

A car engine can loose more than one-quarter of its power due to friction. Therefore, two central points for any mechanical system consist in reducing stresses generated by friction and stopping wear. A laboratory of Université de Toulouse - Le Mirail has developed DEMAFtrib: a device for testing friction and wear which allows defining the friction factor of materials. Also, the system allows establishing wear laws relating to fluctuations in the load, sliding, materials, etc. Fretting phenomenon occurs in case of contact between two materials with a low-amplitude clearance (some micron). Then, this machine enables to conduct testing of fretting-fatigue and fretting-wear at ambient and high temperature. Otherwise, mechanical testing laboratories generally run trials with small size tribometers which are unable to carry heavy loads. The DEMAFtrib device inversely allows applying heavy loads with low-amplitude clearance in a context of fretting. Another notable advantage is that this system is an accessory of a fatigue-machine; consequently the price of a fretting-fatigue or fretting-wear machine comprising the device is significantly lower than existing specific machines.

An industrial partner is sought to complete in collaboration the development of the machine.

Collaborations with thermal compounds manufacturers and electronics industries are sought for integrating and commercializing the technology.

The thermal compound, also called thermal grease, is usually composed of synthetic oils or silicone associated with metal oxide particles. This thermal joint compound is used for drawing heat away from processors by transmission to heatsink. This key point for electronics and computer industries is performed by optimizing the surface heat transfer between 2 components by reduction of air presence as much as possible, air being the main insulating factor limiting the efficiency of heat transfer. The Laboratory of Chemical Engineering in Toulouse (LGC) has developed a new process for manufacturing a composite material that consists in mixing a doped aqueous dispersion of mica with a material like graphite which provides specific physical and chemical properties to the final product. This proposed material is as efficient as best products available on the market: its excellent thermal conductivity allows quick response time under transient regime. The viscosity level depends on the blend composition. Application mode and packaging are easier than those of current products: retention time is reduced, the compound dries in situ and real time. This material is very competitive in terms of price, strong added value, and gets significant environmental qualities: it does not require any use of organic solvent and the final product can be recycled.

INP Toulouse and CEMAGREF Rennes have developed in partnership a system for very precisely measuring permeability in porous media with a hot ball anemometer. An independent cell set at the core of the apparatus allows measuring within the porous medium the velocity rate of the air streaming with a given output. The process enabling the determination of the permeability is based on a model-set and works by comparison with reference data, whatever the nature of substrate constituting the porous medium. A very wide range of reliable measurements is then possible in strongly permeable media.

This innovative process is hardy and very inexpensive compared with other existing technologies allowing to measure very low pressure drop, applied in waste management, geology and drilling domains.

The laboratory is seeking partners specialized in metrology and measurement techniques in porous media to finalize the prototype development and commercialize the device.

A laboratory based in Toulouse has developed a thermo-balance for measuring the accurate mass variation of materials (any kind of metal, ceramic, composite, thermoplastic) submitted to rapid cyclic changes in temperature. The device is designed for simultaneously testing 5 independent samples, generating this way significant time savings. This thermo-balance consists in a single apparatus combining five high-precision balances (each balance has a capacity of 35g and a detection limit of 5µg). The integration of a lamp furnace made of an aluminum block allows very fast heating rates (80°C/s) up to 1000°C.

Machining vibrations strongly limit productivity. In spite of progress of the machines and of the tools, there is no method which systematically eliminates this problem, because of the complex interaction of many factors. Furthermore, this problem is almost always present when using High Speed Machining (HSM). The laboratory LGP-ENI Tarbes in France has developed a strong expertise in terms of analysis, diagnosis and recommendations to solve problems of machining vibrations. As a result, many studies (from 1 to 3 days) have been conducted for industrial partners. From this expertise already validated by many machinists and from its research work, the laboratory has developed a software tool which guarantees to the user a good autonomy facing the machining vibrations, providing with appropriate responses to various problems.

For deposing metallic or ceramic coating on a surface, the laboratory has developed a simpler, cheaper and less harmful process using reactive chemical vapour. Chemical product converted in gas is spread over the part to be coated in a uniform way: e.g. a patellar prosthesis needs specific surface coating for frictions resistance.

The innovation allows surface treatments at low temperatures (below 500 degrees Celsius) making the process compatible to steel or non-oxidized metallic alloys. The gaseous deposit is controlled in order to produce mono or nanostructured multi layer coating, allowing the customization of a surface.

Thanks to this new process, it is now possible to apply hard chromium plating more easily, restricting the use of noxious chemical product (e.g. without Cr (VI)).

Microreactors have an increasing interest in chemical synthesis processes because they allow to reduce equipment sizes and to explore new synthesis ways which are economically not possible in conventional reactors. The Chemical Engineering Laboratory of Toulouse (LGC) has developed a new electrochemical microreactor based on the Filter-Press technology whose main benefits are the simplification of the electrode manufacturing thanks to an electroerosion process, the amelioration of the hydrodynamic features, and the use of enzymatic catalysts. This technology improves security conditions in continuous processes reducing significantly energy consumption.

Sludge treatment represents a major stake for local authorities and industries: volume to be treated is increasing and environmental standards are getting higher. The pertinence of solutions presently used as spreading and incineration will be brought into question soon. And the disposal of sewage sludge will be definitively banned in 2015. Thus, Ecole des Mines d’Albi has developed a process for treating moist sludge which contains organic substances in order to produce a solid fuel applying another waste product: used oils. This continuous process enables to dehydrate sludge with moisture content of from 70% to 90% by contact with oil heated to about 100°C under reduced pressure (0,5 bar). « Fried » sludge, partially dehydrated and oil soaked, becomes a solid fuel. Storable, transportable, without any pathogen elements, odourless, the fuel has a high calorific power, superior to the ones of moist sludge and air-dried sludge. Very positive balance between energy consumption and calorific power gain of the treated sludge.

The Laboratory of Physics and Chemistry of Nano-Objects from INSA Toulouse has developed a new process of electrical nanoimprint combining topographic structuring and electrical charge injection at micro/nanometric scale in thin layers of polymers. This double structuring - topographic and electric - carried out in only one stage, allows then the trapping on thousands of patterns of colloidal nanoparticles in solution by a simple dousing in a few seconds. This invention provides the possibility of producing at low-cost and in great quantity devices by using the innovating properties of nano-objects. Until now, the LPCNO has developed with sequential methods a certain number of very sensitive nanosensors with low energy consumption - strain gauges, moisture and gas sensors - and wish from now to use the electric process of nanoimprint for manufacturing these sensors to respond to industrial needs. Many applications are concerned: nano-electronics, photonics, technical materials, textiles, biotechnology, catalysis, medicine…

The laboratory seeks partners. Codevelopment or common projects could be possible ways to transfer these innovative sensors to the industry.

DOCUMENTATION

There is presently no system being able to analyse syntactic and semantic structure of procedural texts. However, such an analysis is crucial for resolving numerous problems that users and industry usually face, e.g. concerning task management, updating and treatment of large procedure documents collections.

The IRIT (Toulouse Institute of Computer Science Research) has developed an innovative software

module allowing an analysis of the structure of procedural texts. Thus, the system indicates the topic and the goal of the procedure. Furthermore, it gives the « how to do » thanks to a fine analysis of the text structure (instructions, conditions, precautions, etc. ) providing a final structure in output comprising tags and index. The targeted applications address for example the automatic management of large amount of procedure documents, eliminating redundancies and detecting inconsistencies, the updating (errors, omissions), the analysis of risk and the assistance for performing complex tasks (fusion or procedure set concatenation). This tool can address a large range of industrial domains and many sectors such as health, transport, agrofood and chemistry.

We seek a partner with capability to use and develop this innovation.

The CREFI (Center for research in education, training and professional insertion) of Toulouse has developed a didactic method relied on the latest scientific researches, and aims at applying a « serious game » multimedia tool providing a support for teaching and learning to read written language. Reading development software tools already exist, nevertheless their nature is more family oriented and recreational than really educational. Most of them have an attractive aspect but their structure is basic ; then these are much more multimedia products than real computing tools using education and didactic sciences research resources. At last, there is an obvious lack of computing tools specially dedicated to facilitate teachers’ pedagogical practices. The purpose of this innovation aims at reducing the difficulties met when teaching reading specifically with migrant children or with children coming from disadvantaged background and isolated rural areas, and with illiterate adults. The software is also intended for teachers and trainers by providing an appropriate and enhanced tool based on research support to perform learning to read written language.

The objective consists of finalizing the development of the tool with a partner (with socio-economic or institutional concerns) able to promote and commercialize the product.

Microbial fuel cells (MFC) can replace very expensive metal catalysers often made of platinum (indispensable in classical fuel cells) by bacteria developing a biofilm on the surface of the electrodes. Thanks to these microbial films, MFC can use as fuel varied renewable and low cost organic material. Marine sediments; agricultural waste; liquid effluents can thus be exploited for power production. MFC are particularly adapted for supplying remote sites like offshore sites; marine surveillance systems, developing countries… In parallel of power production, MFC speeds up the degradation of the biomass used as fuel and then allows intensification of waste management process. Nowadays, power production is still limited, but waste management process becomes really performing.

EXTASE is a green process allowing compound extraction from liquid effluents. Addition of organic solvent for component isolation (pollutant or not) is not necessary and the process operates under the following conditions: limited thermal environment and low energy consumption. The process can concentrate soluble and/or dispersed, organic and/or metallic pollutants. Heavy metals are found in a lot of industrial effluents and are known as problematic contaminants: an application of EXTASE process is possible on heavy metals. As the process uses highly structured specific surfactants, it is adapted to a wide range of industrial rejected pollutants.

WIND TURBINES

CNES, the French Spatial Agency based in Toulouse, has developed a patented matrix set of small wind turbines aiming at using wind energy with the largest apparent surface: roof of houses, condominiums or commercial and industrial buildings. This secured and low cost device allows to reduce significantly noise production thanks to the small size of the rotors (30cm diameter). One drawback of existing turbines is the noise due to rotor blade speeds at their extremity. In addition, their sizes are not suited for urban environment implementation. For wind turbines, two key features are that the amount of energy produced is directly proportional to the surface of the rotor and that the wind is stronger higher above ground. With the matrix concept, the combined surface is very large thanks to the building size and the altitude is directly the high of the house or the commercial building.

The advantage of small wind turbine matrixes lies on their power generation surface ideally suitable for city use; urban areas are notoriously bad for windpower generation, because of wind turbulences, changing wind directions and obstacles disturbing the airflow. Ideally these matrixes should be equipped with vertical-axis wind turbines. Such turbines can easily be maintained or changed. The matrix of turbine shall continue to yield electricity even if some turbines receive less wind or are damaged.
