In 2008 MicroNed launched a call for auxilliary projects. Out of 21 proposals 8 were selected. The goal was to achieve more cohesion within the consortium by starting projects that reached over the work-package boundries. Also a major goal was to aim at valorisation by focussing on projects that produces results on the short term, build on developed technology in MicroNed and are executed together with industrial partnes. In 2009 the second call for auxilliary project was launched. Out of 20 proposals 6 were selected.
Ir. J. Bouwmeester (jasper.bouwmeester@tudelft.nl)
This project focusses on the development of interfaces
between the Delfi-n3Xt satellite bus system and the
payloads of project partners. This project ecploits
different MicroNed space results.
Ir. R. Zwikker (rini.zwikker@demcon.nl)
This project focusses on finding an optimal shape of
a tube with high sensitivity with the help of
computational topology optimisation. This project
uses models and simulation knowledge from MicroNed
in the microfluidic world.
Prof. dr. C. van Rijn (cees.vanrijn@wur.nl)
This project focusses on getting micro-capsules on the
base of stabilized oil in water systems. A certain pH-
value or temperature triggers the process of emission.
This project uses knowledge out of seven MicroNed
microfluidic oriented workpackages.
Prof. dr. L. Sarro (sarro@tudelft.nl)
This project tests the principle of combined application
of ultrasound cell lysis on tuberculosis cells and separation
on micro level to enable the use of the contents of cells.
Assembling the instrument is included in this project as
well. The project exploits knowledge from fabrication and microfluid clusters.
Prof. dr. F. Mugele (f.mugele@utwente.nl)
This project shows the upscaling of microfluidic generation
of drops. The proof of principle will contain 100 micro-
nozzles which have a combined capacity of 1 ml/hour.
Ing. E. Puik (eirk.puik@hu.nl)
This project creates a proof of concept for assembly
of CCD sensors with less falling out. This project
created a practical application for the micro assembly
workpackage.
Ir. B. Sanders (berry.sanders@tno.nl)
This project demonstrates the responsibility of micro propulsion
on the developed in MicroNed
satellite mission Delfi-n3Xt which is planned in 2010.
The micro propulsion is selected as payload.
Dr. ir. J. Flokstra (j.flokstra@utwente.nl)
This project makes sensitive MEMS aerospace gradiometers
suitable for earth applications, such as water and
oilexploration.
Dr. R. Anthony (r.anthony@kit.nl)
This project integrates a microculture with an innovative
mechanism to accelerate the detection and characterization
of tuberculosis.
Dr. ir. R. van Dijk (rvd@femto.nl)
The application of the knowledge developed in MicroNed
on the area of topology optimization in the High Tech
industry, especially for design critical parts like
internships.
Dr. ir. H. Langen (h.h.langen@tudelft.nl)
The development of a process to fabricate micro reactors.
The grinder developed in MicroNed will be the basis for this.
Dr. ir. H. Jansen (h.v.jansen@ewi.utwente.nl)
The development of a miniaturized active valve for applications
where extreme waterproofness is desired without using high closure forces.
Dr. M. Jongsma (maarten.jongsma@wur.nl)
First the Ilama antibodies will be tested for 25kDa
tuberculosis protein. After that the mono layer stability
of the Cu based biosensors in water environments is enhanced.
Dr. ir. J. Flokstra (j.flokstra@utwente.nl)
Further miniaturizing of the within MicroNed developed gradio meter
for use in drilling holes or unmanned sea vehicles.
