30th of January 2007 Winterthur/Zurich, Switzerland International Partnering Meeting for FP7 projects NANOSCIENCES, NANOTECHNOLOGIES, MATERIALS, NEW PRODUCTION TECHNOLOGIES NMP New added-value user-centered products and product services 2009 Wood 3D tomography, 3D trunk visualization, 3D nesting 2007 Wood Drying in 48h Consortium: OK Water measuring in the wood & RFID searching industrial partners: for Drying stove technologies 2011 Wood Supply Chain, Selection of trees before cutting, Verification of Wood quality before transportation New FP7 Project

 The selection of an existing RFID chips in the market that complies to the requirements that will be defined in the project  The development and test of the antenna  The research, selection of glue material that will surround the antenna and chip functioning as a isolating and protective capsule which will enable its attachment to the product. More precisely, it is intended to develop a tag with the following mechanical characteristics: o At room temperature it will be soft and flexible o At -40°C it will be rigid to allow its insertion inside the leather or wood o At 100°C it will be transformed into a plasma enabling the encapsulation of the material to be attached, for instance leather, wood or cloth. o Resistant to all productive processes (up to 140°C considering also aggressive processes and working environments). 2007

Water detection in the wood, setup measuring example: Microwave based measurement systems features applied on wood :  no physical contact between samples and sensors  in-homogeneity detection  real-time measurement  moisture detection Can be employed on several non-metallic materials too as: Wood, paper, leather, … In-homogeneity 2007

Low power microwave based CT system (computed tomography) 2009
