The aim of the project is to develop and commercialize devices for the visual evaluation of weld quality in production. The issue of welds quality testing is a highly topical issue due to the extensive representation of welding operation for creating permanent joints in industrial production.

Currently, operators, or an automated quality-control system tailored to a specific production process, perform visual inspection of weld quality. The proposed solution will be unique in the implementation of special soft computing methods leading that the solution will adapt to the current conditions in production. With this proposal, the sensitivity of the device to changes in conditions (light conditions, position, and orientation of inspected products, ...) will be greatly reduced and applied to different types of production. The device will be usable in different types of welds and will be sufficiently effective for evaluation of weld quality in real-time.

Based on the proof-of-concept to develop a functional material suitable for the memory switching and information recording in an ion conductive thin layers of chalcogenides and to prepare a specimen for memory recording..

The aim of this project is to exploit the potential colonization mineral components microorganisms in soil conditions reliably contribute to the efficient and gradually releasing effect of the substances used by plants (supply of sulfates, phosphates and some nitrogen compounds). For industrial use, the fulfillment of the objectives of the project is to develop a functional sample composite component based on the freeze-dried biofilm lithotrophic microorganisms on mineral base.

The aim of the solution is to fill the two topics of objective information and functional technical procedures. First of all, map out and precisely express
the change of removal of wood forest on the dynamics of percolation through the reactive nitrogen/phosphorus. Then develop the methodological
recommendations of the impact assessment on ground water and to develop best practice forest recovery in terms of minimizing the adverse effects
of nitrogen compounds on migration the quality of groundwater.

The project focuses on the development and production of environmentally acceptable precursors used for primary explosives in initiating systems. At the same time new thermostable phlegmatizates with new types of additives (e.g. polymers or metallic soaps) for the secondary initiator composition will be developed. These phlegmatizates find application as filling of secondary compositions of initiators (e.g. detonators) or boosters.

The present project aims to develop a centrifugal spinning technology to produce amorphous SiO2 nanofibers . These nanofibers will fulfill all
criteria for their industrial use in moisture-removal processes planned after the project ends. Efforts to optimize the technology will be undertaken
by the industrial parner (Pardam Ltd.), the stuff at University of Pardubice will care about R&D and characterization of nanofibers to have large
internal surface area, suitable porosity and OH-coverage.

The newly designed beam is, unlike the contemporary beams, of a different technical solution and shape. The shape is trapezoidal with two nibs of dimensions 400 / 100 mm, which are located along the whole length of the beam. The length of the beam is proposed to span up to 28 m and it can vary concurrently with the height. The full end parts serve not only for the possibility of use of one anchor with higher prestress intensity, but for beam joints without cast end cross member, too. The intensity of prestressing can be easily changed. Longitudinal and cross beam alignment is presented in the particular project documentation. The beam is frame-shaped and the upper joint influential slab will be strengthened by a skew rib which will be created in the space between beams. The reinforcement of the slab along with the rib increases the general stiffness of the structure and this can be taken into account even in the static calculation by structure bearing capacity assessment. Considering the prestress in the end part of the beam as prestressed cable with cohesivness, and in the other parts as prestressed free cable protected from corrosion, there are some other options how to connect the bearing structure with the substructure into an integrated bridge, alternatively, how to use the pre-cast structures for bridges with more spans. The beam will be a valuable asset in bridge construction industry based on a thoroughly prepared documentation describing the materials of which the beam consists (reinforcement drawings, drawing of prestressing, anchor and stressing), the structural calculation documentation using the Scia Engineer and Atena software, including the suitable bridge accessories recommendation which can be used by the building company at the bridge construction with the designed elements. The documentation would contain other auxiliary data about bearing limits, skewness, or data about influence areas and deflection of the bridge made of the beams.

The project deals with the modification of several classes of compounds characteristic by the presence of one or more OH groups - such as vitamins A-D, taxols, prostaglandins, carbohydrates, cyclodextrins, polysacharides and lignin that are wholly or partly converted into esters. This modification will be made using a unique technology developed and improved at parent workplace, esterification of lactide in an inert solvent or dispersion to lactates or lactyllactate. Altered properties of the thus prepared products such as higher solubility, bioavailability, lipophilicity and biodegradability of these predicted to be useful in human medicine, such as food supplements, cosmetics, hygiene products etc.
