Description

Solid State Nuclear Magnetic Resonance spectroscopy (SSNMR) is today one of the most powerful techniques for characterizing solid and soft materials and systems. This spectroscopy allows the detailed characterization of structural and dynamic properties over large spatial (0.1-100 nm) and time (102-10-11 s) scales. Accessing these properties allows a deep knowledge of a material to be obtained and  its design and optimization to be oriented.

Description

The proposed technology deals with the development of active SERS (Surface Enhanced Raman Scattering) substrates ad hoc designed for diagnostics of cultural heritage. The substrates are prepared starting from common commercial 'polishing film' sheets (lapping optical fibers) showing an intrinsic roughness (48- 1000 nm) that favors the SERS effect. A pattern of silver or gold nanoparticles are deposited on these films through Pulsed Laser Deposition (PLD).

Description

The Q-PLL is a nonlinear circuit which can maintain a locked state when forced by two incommensurate frequencies.

The locked state is a third frequency parametrically selected among those prescribed by the theory of three-frequency resonances in dynamical systems.

In particular, the locked frequency forms a three-frequency resonance with the frequencies of the quasi- periodic input and is closely related to the pitch perception of complex sound in humans.

The proposing team that works at CNR ISTEC has recently patented a technology for the production of the Smart Polycrystals (SP), i.e. transparent YAG-based ceramic polycrystals (Y3Al5O12) variably doped with rare earths ions and transition metals ions. The SPs solve the problem of the reduction of the efficiency in the solid state laser systems caused by the inhomogeneous heating of the single crystals during the emission process.

Description

The working principle of VTTJ is extremely simple. Two parts (at least one with tube shape) are screwed one into the other with a mechanical interference that creates a metallic seal. One part presents a cylindrical slot, the other presents a conical ring, whose diameter is slightly larger than the one of the cylindrical slot. When the two parts are screwed together, a plastic deformation occurs in the mechanical interference region.

VOLIS is an online platform that contains various tests for assessing Italian Sign Language (LIS) comprehension skills in signing children, from 4 to 11 years of age. The consequences of some difficulties such as deafness, cognitive impairments and autism spectrum disorder may affect learning, social interaction and broad communicative skills. The use of LIS may support children that have difficulties in acquiring and using a using spoken languages.
