SELECTED CASES OF UNIVERSITY R AND D

Abstract

In the ten selected cases of university R and D, the authors wanted to show the diversity of TUB´s innovative profile and the specific features of different university R and D actions. 1. The SGA-7N telecommunication equipment is an example of the so-called `soft instrument concept`, which means that a relatively simple general purpose hardware is applied and the actual measurement tasks are realised in software. 2. The correction of colour deficiency is possible with medical glasses developed by TUB professors. 3. The development of two medicines, of which the second one brought international success and profit for Hungary is presented. 4. The new types of modified polyolefins, which were developed in a TUB department, are now used in industry. 5. The new laser brazing technology of aluminium will probably open new perspectives mainly in the market of vehicle industry. 6. The Boron Neutron Capture Therapy (BNCT) is an internationally acknowledged and supported research project in the treatment and research of cancer. 7. Neutron activation analysis can determine the chemical composition of materials, here the origin of archaeological ceramics is the focus. 8. Design guidelines and dimensioning software were developed for thin-walled steel profiles; an innovation for the construction industry. 9. The laboratory of the department of physical chemistry has become internationally recognised for researches on intelligent soft materials. 10. A `classic` innovation closes this issue: modular driver seat family jointly developed by `professors` and company experts.
