IBM Israel and Weizmann Institute: Improving design of electronic systems Investment: 7.6 Million Euro Other Partners: Infineon Technologies, STMicroelectronics, Fourier University in Grenoble. The PROSYD consortium, led by IBM Israel, began its work in January 2004 and will conclude the project in December 2006. The goal is to improve the efficiency and competitiveness of the European IT industry by developing a new standart - based approach to designing electronic systems. This new methodology will unify and streamline different phases in the development of electronic systems, including definition requirements, planning, implementation and verification, into a complete planning sequence. This project is intended to improve work processes and to achieve a 30% increase in productivity. Optibase: Arttic advances a new appropach to digital rights and management Investment: 6 Million Euro Other Partners: France Telecom, Imperial College of London, NagraViaion (Switzerland), the Industrial Technology Research Institute of Taiwan and others. The goal of the TIRAMISU project, led by the Optibase company, is to develop new methods for copyright protection of digital media, without damaging the potential distribution, marketing and use of Most electronic communications is based upon linking up with GEO satellites located in a distance of 36,000 km (at “C” or “Ku” band) over the equator. These satellites remain in fixed positions relative to the earth's movement. Since deployment requires a steady and permanent link between the device and the satellite, connectivity between a satellite and an airborne jet, seafaring vessel or high-speed train can be problematic. The new telecommunication systems developed by ORBIT give clients fast, reliable broadband internet abilities. The chief technological achievement of these systems is their high stabilization capability and ability to maintain line of sight with the satellite even under the difficult, complicated conditions of mobile vehicles in which these systems are installed. Business people (or anyone, for that matter) can continue their routine communications from a plane or a boat – send and receive e-mail, conduct telephone conversations and other activities. ORBIT's latest cutting-edge system is a low profile antenna for high-speed trains. Thousands of passengers can continue surfing the net and remain in virtual touch as though they were still at home or their office. This capability could save thousands of work-hours which would have been lost without this technology. Supertankers carrying fuel or other substances can keep tabs in real time of the changing price of their cargo (during the months they spend at sea). Other long-term seafarers – tourists on extended cruises or crews on military ships –can receive real-time information from various landbased media: they can watch TV, or even see the happy face - sent as internet files – of their daughter who just passed her driving test… or Home and Away the content. The project will investigate Digital Rights Management (DRM) technologies and develop an approach that utilizes the best technologies to facilitate the distribution of digital media to TV sets, DVD players, music players, cell phones and PCs, without damaging the property rights of the digital media. Gilat: Satellite Communications Inter-Operability Investment: 5.4 Million Euro Other Partners: Avanti Communications (UK), Tellitec Engineering (Germany), and the Universities of Helsinki and Salonika Gilat Satellite Networks leads the VIVALDI consortium, which focuses on developing architecture, technologies and protocols for broadband access to satellite applications in hybrid networks. The goal is to develop inexpensive access technology for applications and services which demand high quality of service (QoS), such as VoIP. Mekorot: Safety for drinking water Investment: 5.2 Million Euro Other Partners: University of Barcelona, UNESCO, UWI, Cranfield University (Belgium), the Aachen Water Research Institute, the Berlin Technical University and others. Mekorot is participating in two projects to improve the quality of water and safely use recycled drinking water. The projects (Switch and Reclaim Water) investigate re-using urban sewage water to stem the world water shortage. Both projects investigate methods use their phone to reprimand their child for not doing homework… The technology developed by ORBIT is based on a combination of electronic mechanics and algorithms, embedded in a system capable of stabilizing, tracking and locking on a satellite even while moving quickly and erratically. While these systems are largely for the civilian world, they can be used for military purposes, since the need for real time information is a defining characteristic of the battlefield of the future. It's no accident that systems developed by ORBIT have been integrated in military carriers developed by all of Israel's defense industries – Elisra, Elta, IAI, Elbit and RAFAEL. The fact that the systems are integrated in different carriers requires technological cooperation between ORBIT and other companies, largely on the antenna/modem/distribution-system link. This link is an essential aspect in maximizing the company's technological capabilities. ORBIT, founded in the 1950's, has subsidiaries in the U.S and Britain. The Israeli office has some 200 employees, with another hundred or so at the subsidiaries. The engineers and technologically-trained workers are graduates of some of the finest institutes of higher education in their fields. In recent years, the company has achieved considerable growth: It controls some 25% of the world market for seaborne stabilization, aiming and tracking systems. Thanks to its unique and powerful technological capabilities, the company joined the sixth round of the European Union's R&D Framework Programme, developing communication systems for use in high-speed trains and aircraft. These capabilities will continue to attract collaborations between
20 / 21 to safely return water to underground sources such as aquifers. Treatment plans are compared, and the effects of chemical and microbiological activity on water are examined. Hadassah Medical Center: New Genetic Treatments Investment: 5 Million Euro Other Partners: the Max Delbrück Center for Molecular Medicine (Germany), the Kennedy Center Eye Clinic (Denmark), the Hungary National Medical Center and others. The INTHER consortium develops gene transfer strategies for treating inherited and acquired human disorders. The partners will develop and implement varied technologies. The three year project will develop and test genetic treatment methods for somatic diseases that are a priority for European health. IAI and the Weizmann Institute for Science: Nanotubes for aircraft construction Investment: 5 Million Euro Other Partners: Fiat, the French National Institute for Scientific Research, the Hamburg Technical University and more. The NOESIS consortium is a collaboration with IAI and the Weizmann Institute in the field of carbon nanotubes for aircraft construction. The project focuses on the development of composite flight materials possessing new metallurgic qualities and sensory capabilities, including in-flight tracking of aerodynamic structures and varied response capabilities. Elop: Detecting Atmospheric Flight Hazards Investment: 4.7 Euro Other Partners: Thales, the National Office for the Teaching and Study of Flight (ONDRA – France), Louvain University (Belgium) and others. Elop leads the Fidelio consortium, founded to implement atmospheric hazard detection laser technology for aircraft. The goal is to improve safety in all-weather flight. The focus in the development of a LIDAR-type laser, adapted for use on aircraft in keeping with appropriate safety, reliability and weight parameters. The European aerospace industry is enthusiastic about this highly regarded project, which the European Commission presented as a model project in its June 2006 Aeronautics Day in Vienna.
