Description
Objective:
Effective search & rescue operations are amongst the most promising means to reduce
human casualties following collapse of buildings due to catastrophic events.
Time is critical for a successful rescue and the prompt availability of reliable information is
vital. LOCCATEC could enhance significantly the effectiveness of the rescue management
and operations, providing a quick survey tool to detect and locate trapped people.
It is based on small, low-cost capturing devices to be pre-installed in buildings.
Each capturing device, triggered by the event, records what happened in a given space
during an eventual collapse.
This information is downloaded wirelessly to central units providing the rescuers with a
rapid estimate as to the number of people present in each building space at the moment
of the event, the structural state of ruins and eventual possible pathways.
Objectives:
1. Development of a prototype system, which would provide the rescue teams quickly and
cost-effectively reliable information on:
a.The presence (or not) of people in each building space during a collapse;
b.The state of the ruins (possible pathways, structural integrity).The LOCCATEC prototype
will be a fully functional pre-industrial prototype, including at least one central unit and a
number of capturing devices, the functionality of which will be tested against the specified
requirements;
2. Significant enhancement of the effectiveness of the rescue management and operations
by providing a tool to perform a quick survey of the disaster site to detect and locate
trapped people and plan the subsequent rescue operations in the quickest and most
effective way.
As part of an overall emergency response system, it would allow personnel, equipment
and information to be dispatched where it is most needed and assist in setting rescue
priorities and planning the rescue effort quickly and efficiently.
Work description:
LOCCATEC will be a prototype system aiming at promptly providing the rescuers with
information on trapped people and the state of the ruins. It will be based on small, lowcost, autonomous capturing devices to be pre-installed in each building space. Each
capturing device, adequately integrated and packaged so as to survive an eventual
building collapse, triggered by the catastrophic event (e.g. earthquake), would record

what happened in a given space just during the collapse. The rescue team, equipped with
the LOCCATEC central unit, upon arriving at the vicinity of the collapsed building, would
transmit a signal triggering the wireless download of the information stored in each
capturing device. Image processing techniques could yield an estimate as to the number
of people present in each space at the moment of the event. The rescue team would have
a quick indication on the number of people trapped in each space and some information on
the structural state and the possible pathways in the ruin.
Each capturing device will comprise: Optical sensor, FIFO non-volatile memory chip, IR
illuminating LED, triggering device, wireless low-power communications and suitable backup battery. Each central unit will comprise: Communication and localisation equipment to
trigger, identify, download the captured information and locate the capturing devices as
well as display and image processing capabilities. The LOCCATEC system will be open and
flexible with various sensor and triggering options, according to the space and the
environment. It can eventually serve as platform for other sensors, like a microphone,
which would be activated by the signal that triggers the transmission of the capturing data
and would provide the rescue teams with real-time acoustic information.

Description
Objective:
The destructive consequences of earthquake push structural engineers and researchers
towards new ways of mitigation of earthquake hazards. The project joins the efforts of
research groups from 5 seismically active countries. It is focused on the following aspects:
1.Elaboration of optimal and robust control algorithms. Elaboration of relevant
computational procedures and recommendation on design of active, passive or hybrid
control devices.
2.Investigation of smart materials for the use in seismic protection devices.
Implementation of elastomeric seismic-isolators based on the coupling with suitable
monitoring devices. Examination of SMA and their coupling with elastomers for the use as
control elements of passive devices.
The ultimate goal is to suggest theoretically substantiated recommendation for choice of
optimal schemes of base isolation and optimal parameters of the building bases,
minimizing the negative effect of seismic impact. Active control systems are also to be
conceived, analysed and implemented. Their coupling with base isolation will offer an
effective solution against the shortcomings of passive control. Alternatively, active control
is the most effective way to mitigate vibration of flexible structures. The aim of this
application is twofold. First, it will allow the further progress in the research performed in
the framework of the previous INTAS project. Second, it will give to the researches of the
NIS countries the opportunity to be involved in the ERA and to collaborate with the
partners from EU in a priority area of the EU research programme.

Description
Achievements:
1. Quasi-distributed polarimetric sensing system
A complete evaluation of the dual mode polarimetric system has been performed and all
the different parts required to the assembly of a complete system have been developed.
Laboratory demonstrations of an effective strain and temperature separation was
successfully performed with a single zone sensor and tests were conducted for both Civil
Engineering and Civil Aeronautics for strain only with several sensing zones. The
integration process of the sensor was deeply investigated : sensors were installed on
composite structures using embedding and retro-fitting techniques, small connectors
(ceramic ferrule and tube) were integrated with success in a stiffened panel representative
of the part of an aircraft wing. In Civil engineering sensors were installed on
representative elements of ground anchors (bonded on steel bars, embedded in concrete).
2. Microwave sensing system
Basic characterisations and calibrations of the system demonstrated its suitability to detect
the level of strain that the ground anchors would be subjected to under normal operating
conditions. A large number of trials were conducted in the Civil Engineering construction
laboratory yielding the validation of the operation of the sensors in both transmission and
reflection modes over gauge lengths up to three meters. The sensor conditioning was
strongly studied, yielding several attractive means such as integration of the sensing fibre
in pultruded glass reinforced plastic rods and braid protection sheaths. Standard single
mode connectors were used. A pultruded glass reinforced plastic rod sensor with a
reference fibre embedded in a loose tube was manufactured, installed and tested.
Measurements over several cycles of the sensor showed that the free fibre was not
strained and therefore could be used as a thermal reference. In terms of system a
compact and robust transportable prototype of instrument was developed, using
commercially available components.
3. Impact induced damage sensing system
Radome structures were constructed from a sandwich of D Glass epoxy skins bonded to a
high density foam material. To accommodate the sensor, grooves were machined in the
foam. Different configurations of sensors were investigated including side hole fibres of
different intrinsic pressure sensitivities, different plastic tubes diameters and groove
characteristics such as shape and depth. Sensitivity of the sensor to damages induced by
impacts of around 5 Joules was demonstrated and spatial location of a damage can be
identified to within 1 cm without difficulty. Most of the experimentation were conducted on
flat panels representative of the dome structure then verified on one dome.

General information:
The need for continuous health monitoring of structures is arising in two main areas:
- Civil engineering where tendons, staycables and concrete structures have to withstand
increasing demands in terms of strength requirements and ageing effects.
- Aeronautics where structural parts made from advanced composite materials are being
increasingly used on aircraft and other transportation systems.
Due to their low invasivity and capability for distributed sensing, fibre optics sensors are
promising candidates. A previous BRITE project showed the laboratory feasibility of
measuring the strain distribution inside a composite material by embedding a white light
quasi distributed optical fibre polarimetric sensor. The possibility to simultaneously
measure temperature and strain was also demonstrated.
The aim of this new project are to develop a generic sensing tool based on adaptations of
the above principles and to demonstrate its applicability for the monitoring of strain,
damage initiation and temperature in actual structures. The work will be carried out as
follow:
- Specific optical fibre transducers and relevant receiving units shall be developed
according to requierements of aeronautic and civil engineering end users. An optical
microwave snsor shall also be considered for the extension to long length (more than few
tens of meters) civil engineering structures. Where appropriate miniaturized and rugged
systems will be built.
- Industrial methods for embedding or attaching sensors to structures and their connection
schemes shall be implemented and tested for durability/ageing in both civil structures and
aeronautical composites.
- Prototypes of monitored industrial components will be implemented and tested:
- stay cable, steel tension elements, and tension/cracked area of concrete structures for
civil engineering.
- carbon/epoxy stiffened composite panel representative of a wing section in aircraft and a
kevlar/epoxy composite radome for aeronautics.

Description
Objective:
An important class of collaborating objects is represented by the myriad of wireless
sensors, which will constitute the infrastructure for the ambient intelligence vision. The
academic world actively investigates the technology for Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN).
Industry is reluctant to use these results coming from academic research. A major cause is
the magnitude of the mismatch between research at the application level and the node
and network level. The WASP project aims at narrowing this mismatch by covering the
whole range from basic hardware, sensors, processor, communication, over the packaging
of the nodes, the organisation of the nodes, towards the information distribution and a
selection of applications. The emphasis in the project lays in the self-organisation and the
services, which link the application to the sensor network. Research into the nodes
themselves is needed because a strong link lies between the required flexibility and the
hardware design. Research into the applications is necessary because the properties of the
required service will influence the configuration of both sensor network and application for
optimum efficiency and functionality. All inherent design decisions cannot be handled in
isolation as they depend on the hardware costs involved in making a sensor and the
market size for sensors of a given type. Three business areas, road transport, elderly care,
and herd control, are selected for their societal significance and large range of
requirements, to validate the WASP results. The general goal of the project is the
provision of a complete system view for building large populations of collaborating objects.
The impact on European industry and research comes from the provision of an European
alternative to the WSNs originating in the US. The WASP results will be well suited for
adoption by SMEs. The consortium defines an active programme to approach the
appropriate SMEs and to familiarise them with the WASP results.

Description
Objective:
The main objective of IMOS project is the development and the demonstration of a false
alarm free fire detection system for large buildings and production plants. This will be
achieved by the development of an intelligent multisensor microsystem (IMS) comprising:
An optical multi sensor (OMS), which measures the scattered light and absorptions at least
by two different wavelengths and at least by two different scattering angles in order to
discriminate between fire and non-fire situations,
A multi-gas-sensor-system (MGS), which is able to measure at least CO, CO2, NO,
unburned hydrocarbons and alkaloids,
A neural network running in an embedded system, which will identify smoke fingerprints
using all the available sensors information, and teleservice.
Work description:
First of all, we will conduct fire tests according to EN54 and also tests with paper fire and
tobacco smoke to identify the fire and non-fire patterns. We will analyse and evaluate the
results of these tests in order to select suitable gas and optical multi-sensors for the
measurement and identification of fire products. Then, the final specification of the system
architecture and algorithms will be set up. Two workgroups will design and develop the
multi-gas-sensor-system (MGS) and the optical-multi-sensor (OMS) in parallel. The MGS
will measure at least CO, CO2, NO, unburned hydrocarbons and alkaloids. The OMS will
measure the scattered light at different wavelengths and at different scattering angles.
The integration of the developed MGS and the developed OMS will be accompanied by the
development of the neural network running in an embedded system which will be
equipped with a LON network for teleservice and telemaintenance.
Two prototypes will be manufactured for final testing and field tests. The final testing and
qualification will include the validation of the fire detection performance, discrimination of
nuisance situations and telemanagement functionality. We will verify the fire detection
performance with the same fire tests as for the smoke pattern identification. The improved
functionality of IMOS prototype will be demonstrated at two different industrial
applications, in a recycling plant and in a public building. The telemanagement feature will
able us to follow the demonstration through the Internet.

The present action is directed towards the support of the Europe-Aid Cooperation Office
(AIDCO) for the damage prevention, assessment and reconstruction of infrastructure
following natural and technological disasters. The JRC will commit to this action by
DOCUMENTARY SEARCHES

E.S. SEMINAR

I-SSB
providing well-recognised technical expertise in the field of structural assessment in an
independent manner from national or commercial interests. Following technical and topical
discussions and consultations with the Sustainable Rural Development, Infrastructure and
Environment Unit of the Latin America Directorate of AIDCO, the action team will provide
support along two main lines of action. The first line of action will be concentrated on
prevention, whereby the JRC, based on its experience and know-how on structural
assessment of building structures, will draft recommendations and guidelines for the
construction of safe non-engineered houses in seismic areas. The second line of action will
be dedicated towards the field evaluation and assessment of the quality of the
construction works financed by AIDCO for the reconstruction of damaged housing and
infrastructure in the affected areas following the devastating effects of El Salvador 2001
earthquake.
Rationale:
The European Union is one of the major actors in international co-operation and
development assistance, providing along with Member States 55% of total International
Official Development Assistance (ODA) and more than two thirds of grant aid. In this
context the JRC will provide support to the Europe-Aid Cooperation Office (AIDCO) for the
damage prevention, assessment and reconstruction of infrastructure following natural and
technological disasters, providing well-recognised technical expertise in the field of
structural assessment in an independent manner from national or commercial interests.
Following technical and topical discussions and consultations with the Sustainable Rural
Development, Infrastructure and Environment Unit of the Latin America Directorate of
AIDCO, the action team will provide support along two main lines of action. The first line
of action will be concentrated on prevention, whereby the JRC, through its unique facility
in Europe of the ELSA laboratory, will perform full/large scale tests on models of civil
engineering structures and infrastructures to draft recommendations and guidelines for the
construction of safe non-engineered houses in seismic areas. The second line of action will
be dedicated towards the field evaluation and assessment of the quality of the
construction works financed by AIDCO for the reconstruction of damaged housing and
infrastructure in the affected areas following the devastating effects of El Salvador 2001
earthquake.
The JRC will thus act as a body of the Commission that will effectively coordinate and
implement the Scientific and Technical (S&T) support needed by AIDCO. In particular, the
JRC will contribute by giving support to AIDCO for the implementation, monitoring and
evaluation of projects and programmes to ensure that Community aid is implemented
effectively, whilst providing high standards of quality and speed in the design and
implementation of projects. Specifically, the Sustainable Rural Development,
Infrastructure and Environment Unit of the Latin America Directorate of AIDCO, calls for
support in two different fields: "in the field of prevention: Analysis of the seismic
normative and drafting of recommendations in the form of manuals for their application in
the field of self-construction in El Salvador" "in the field of the construction of
infrastructure and housing in the framework of project SLV/B7-3100/01/073 'Programme
de Reconstruction de El Salvador': Assessment of the quality of construction works via a
filed mission to be planned at the beginning of 2004".
This action will foster a new channel of communication and cooperation between the JRCELSA and the RELEX family of Directorates, in particular to offer S&T support to the
activities carried out by AIDCO. In view of the prominent role of RELEX as a key player at
an international level within the European Commission, it is expected that through this line
of work the level of cooperation with the JRC will grow in future Framework Programmes.
The present action will contribute to the European Research Area (ERA) by building up a
platform for researchers across Europe to participate in those activities related to the
study of the seismic response of non-engineered structures. The proposed action is linked
with action 4342 Information support for effective and Rapid External Action (ISFERA) in
this ISA and with ISA 4.3.3 on Technological and Natural Risks.

General information:
PHOSPHO-ALPHA-HEMIHYDRATE IS A WASTE PRODUCT FROM THE FERTILIZER
INDUSTRIES. TWO FACTORIES IN WESTERN EUROPE PRODUCE HEMIHYDRATE AS A
BYPRODUCT, IE PRAYON-ENGIS, BELGIUM AND WINDMILL-VLAARDINGEN, HOLLAND.
THESE COMPANIES ARE FORCED TO REDUCE THE EMISSION OF SLIGHTLY
CONTAMINATED CHEMICAL GYPSUM. PHOSPHO-ALPHA-HEMIHYDRATE IS USUALLY
DISPOSED OF AS A SLURRY. A PARTLY DEWATERED SLURRY CAN BE USED AS A MORTAR.
THIS MORTAR FORMS A BASE FOR THE CONSTRUCTION OF IN-PLACE MONOLITHS OR
SMALLER ELEMENTS. MONOLITHS SHOULD FIND THEIR WAY IN CIVIL ENGINEERING
PROJECTS, ELEMENTS MIGHT BE MARKETED IN THE BUILDING INDUSTRY.
PBI IS MAINLY CONCERNED WITH MORTARS AND MONOLITHS, WHILE BBRI (WTCB)

Description
Objective:
A new process will be developed and implemented for cost effective production of a new
generation of high performance gypsum-fibre boards (zeogyp-board) making more skilled
use of conventional gypsum board production lines with low capital investment. Old
gypsum boards will be used together with cellulose-fibres, fibrous clay residual from
wastepaper and zeolite to achieve undistorted setting-behaviour of gypsum and to
improve the strength and porosity of the board core resulting to higher surface hardness
and lower application time and cost. Similar products have limited market share due to
high production costs despite improved properties. The retrofitting approach prolongs the
life cycle of over one hundred existing plants with low capital investment and maintains
sustainable growth of the sector. It solves problems related with landfilling leading to zero
waste production and reduces raw gypsum requirements. It responds to consumers '
needs.

Description
General information:
As far as technological innovation in the production of manufactured goods is concerned
the present trend is to put circuits and microprocessors in these objects. Thus the
manufactured goods will have a new functional aspect and an increasing part in the
industrial chain.
In the case of the closing sector, this process has started in the 60s' with automatisms for
doors or gates for instance or systems for windows. motorised blinds.
But an organic approach is also needed to consider this closing sector to be of primary
importance when one has to choose a building or a house or when safety is concerned.
Then it will become a very important element in the automation of the building trade with
a high value added due to innovation, new processes and electronics.
The industrial economic impact could be significant. There has already been an increase of
the number of windows in PVC and we could reach a C.I.M. (computer integrated
manufacturing) system.
The introduction of new control and automation technologies in the closing sector has also
positive spin-off in other sectors such as safety and the glass sector for instance.

Abstract of WO2006015352
A system and method for creating and deploying
distributed applications. A template defines a business
process by means of validation, input, permission and
workflow rules. The specific business process is
performed by first creating a document that is a particular
instantiation of the template. The document embeds all
of the rules of the template along with data particular to
that particular process. The document may then be
assigned to a specific user, and be delivered over a
wireless network. The user may view and/or update
portions of the document and forward the document to a
next participant in the process, all according to the
embedded rules. Document updates may incorporate
input from external sensors such as Global Positioning
Satellite (GPS) and bar code scanners. After
instantiation, the document is independent of the original
template, with the document holding the actual results of
the business process throughout the process.

Abstract of JP2006234755
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide
an earthquake sensor for a locking device
of a seismic isolation building that can
surely change the lock device into a
locking release state by taking out a
vertical component and a horizontal
component of a P wave during an
earthquake to efficiently detect the P
wave regardless of a mechanical
constitution having no possibility of
generating electric failure.
SOLUTION: The earthquake sensor
supports one end part of a leaf spring 20
arranged horizontally on a lower structure
1B of a seismic isolation layer through a
horizontal traverse shaft 21 and includes
a rise plate part 22 folded upward on the
other end of the leaf spring. A swing
weight 23 is connected to the upper end
of the rise plate part, and supported to be
hung on an upper structure 1A or the
lower structure 1B through a hanging
spring 24. The lock device 4 is changed
over from a locked state to the locking
release state by behavior, around the
horizontal traverse shaft, of the leaf spring
accompanying fluctuation of the swing
weight due to the P wave during the
earthquake.

Abstract of JP6313730
PURPOSE:To house a seismic sensor
which enables the cutting of a city gas
being supplied when an earth quake
occurs into a gas meter, a gas emergency
breaker, a gas consuming device or the
like by miniaturizing it without variations in
characteristic. CONSTITUTION:A
spherical pendulum comprising a
conducting monocrystalline silicon hangs
with a support part 71 and an electrode
73 is arranged on a virtually spherical
surface having he same center in a
natural condition as the center of the
pendulum. Those corresponding to each
other of three pairs of the electrodes 73a
are connected in common to detect
capacity between the pendulum and the
electrodes. A level discrimination is
performed through a lowpass filter for
filtering seismic waves alone. This
achieves a prevention of variations in
characteristic of each product, a
miniaturization of a construction and
higher sensitivity to eliminate restriction of
mounting attitude thereby enabling
selective detection of all vibrations such
as earth quake in a three-dimensional
direction.

Abstract of EP1783959
In building automation architectures, components may be
associated through physical communications paths and
at a different level through building automation
applications. Building automation applications implement
control processes for a building function. Due to
changing needs, such as a failure of a physical
communications path or the addition or removal of
components, the building automation application may be
more appropriately performed in a different device. By
dynamically positioning or determining a processor for
implementing a building automation application, an
architecture or network may more optimally control
building functions, such as by requiring less user input,
more rapid response and/or avoiding building function
failures.

Abstract of US2006242225
In select embodiments of the present
invention, a configuration incorporates a
suite of agents in a "flat" hardware
architecture and superimposes thereon a
self-forming, self-healing, hierarchical
architecture implemented in software.
Embodiments may be employed in
various applications, such as maintaining
network integrity. In one embodiment, a
building security monitoring network
provides for network agents to each be
capable of communication with any other
agents on a network at network startup.
Shortly after network initialization, the
software architecture is superimposed on
(rides on) the flat hardware architecture,
re-arranging communication links to
provide an efficient hierarchy of control
and substituting working agents for
compromised agents as necessary in the
network. All of this is done in a "live"
network, not requiring shutdown, or even
reduced operation to accomplish. This
"dual" architecture (hierarchical software
and flat hardware) provides excellent
reliability in those "layered" network
applications requiring near total reliability,
such as security surveillance.
