Project meeting in Oslo
From 27th to 29th May 2019 the SILENSE partnership will have its next meeting, organized by our Norway partner SINTEF with the support by another parther Elliptic Labs. It will be a great opportunity to bring all partners together again since last meeting. More information for consorcium partners can be found here.
SILENSE at EFECS Lisbon
In the frame of European Forum for Electronic Components and Systems (EFECS), which was held in Lisbon this year, the project representatives from BUT, NXP and Infineon actively promoted the SILENSE project during the exhibition of ECSEL, AENEAS and EUREKA projects. Our project booth was attended by numerous visitors, representing other projects, research organizations and policy makers from all over the Europe. These visitor were interested especially in the project's ambitions, actual intentions and the results achieved so far.
Successful partner meeting in London
Our SILENSE partnership had its fourth meeting; this time hosted by our British partner Speedo in their London office. With some exceptions all partner joined the meeting and carried out a lively debate on the latest developments of their technologies and respective integration into all the demonstrators. These are the cornerstone of the project and will need the full support of all work packages. It is equally important that the demonstrators clearly indicate their requirements to advance jointly and swiftly.

The second project newsletter was published. You can find him in project publications here.
SILENSE at the MEMS Summit 2018 in Grenoble
Solmates has represented the SILENSE consortium at the MEMS & Sensors Summit conference 2018 in Grenoble. This three day event which took place from 19th to 21st September had a focus on industrialized MEMS applications. It attracted MEMS producers, RTO’s and Start-ups located in and outside of Europe.
SILENSE at the ‘ECSEL in Germany’ Congress
After its first four years of H2020 over thirty initiatives and numerous experts met at the ‘ECSEL in Germany’ Congress. It took place in Dresden on 5th and 6th September 2018. This platform provided an excellent opportunity to exchange experience, analyse technology trends as well as debate the future of the European research programme beyond 2020 and the input of German partners in shaping in.
Ultrasound channel sounding experiments in TNO
For the development of the Smart Acoustic Wearable System demonstrator, channel soundings and ambient noise measurements were performed recently at the TNO premises in The Hague with assistance from NXP and Elliptic Labs. During this channel sounding campaign, ultrasound probe signals in two bandwidths (2-36kHz & 18-24kHz) were transmitted using a tweeter and received by six microphones.
Project meeting in London
On 18th and 19th October 2018 the SILENSE partnership will have its fourth meeting, hosted by our UK partner Speedo. It will be a great opportunity to bring all partners together again since review meeting. More information for consorcium partners can be found here.
Haptic feedback touchscreen
Consortium parner Linz Center of Mechatronics GmbH (LCM) developed an innovative touch screen with haptic feedback features. The heart of the recently patented system is a transparent plate, which is actively deformed by piezoelectric actuators. The plate provides haptic feedback precisely at the moment it is touched, rather similar to the impression obtained by physically tapping a conventional key. Interaction with touch panels becomes more intuitive, and input accuracy increases. More can be found in attached PDF.
