L2M – Electroless nickel-phosphorus composite coating for molding application

The proposed project aims to develop an electroless nickel-phosphorus composite coating for tire molds to address common issues such as product sticking and damage during demolding. By applying this coating, we aim to provide semi-permanent protection and anti-sticking properties to the molds, reducing the need for frequent application of releasing agents. This innovation is expected […]

Coalescence Free Surfaces

Water injection in the industrial gas turbines is frequently used to improve the turbine performance during hot days. Injected water evaporates in the compressor section providing effective cooling leading to increased gas density and improved performance. Water injection technology poses several technological challenges. The injection system needs to be optimized to provide a uniform droplet […]

Vestibular Response Pattern Recognition in Relation to Concussion

This proposal presents research projects to evaluate a new technology, Electrovestibulography (EVestGTM) that holds potential to objectively, quickly and quantitatively measure the severity of concussion, thus aiding in its diagnosis. EVestG signals are recorded painlessly and non-invasively from the external ear in response to a vestibular stimulus; they are the brain signals modulated by the […]
