            <title>EDM event: E-Waste recycling optimization and Design-for-Recycling</title>
            <link>http://www.imec-nl.nl/nl_en/press/imec-news/edm-evente-waste-recycling-optimization.html</link>
            <description><![CDATA[Recycling treats complex waste streams containing precious and other metals and materials. A smelter can recover some 20 precious and other non-ferrous metals from shredded end-of-life electronics. Electronic waste and especially electronic parts however have low recycling yields. Electronics pose a recycling challenge both from the point of purity (contaminants) as well as volume. The EU funded ENIAC project GreenElec aims at fundamentally improving the recycling situation by performing research into the basic aspects that determine recycling efficiency.
This workshop will introduce the GreenElec project and give a glimpse of the possibilities to identify and quantify material content and improve the recycling process of electronics by Design-for-Recycling and selective disassembly based on optical recognition or product data made available end-of-life.<br><br><em>Last modified on 23 April 2013, 00:00</em><br>]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[Organised by Leuven.Inc in cooperation with imec. Powered by VIB.
In the past, many innovations were in part driven by fast and in-depth evolutions of different technologies, each operating in their own space. Today and in the future, new fundamental insights as well as new major innovations are and will be the result of an intimate interaction amongst different technologies. Nanotech for Health is a nice example. Our future health care system will not be sustainable without combining three major innovation drivers simultaneously: urgent need in many fields to combine better performance, better efficiency and lower cost. This can only be done through extreme miniaturization and integration... and rooting into nano-electronic platforms.
Nanotechnology and within this area, nanoelectronics offer tremendous opportunities for new insights in biological processes, in interacting at single cell or sub-cell levels, in interacting at molecular levels,...This will require increasingly to create new eco-systems combining health, biomedical and nanoelectronics platforms: integrating nodes from the life science community with those from the nanoelectronics community, offering a broad range of new opportunities for innovation. The challenge is to connect those very different communities, speaking a different language, having a different culture and having other challenges such as FDA approvals, interactions with payers (health insurance companies), being paid by governments, all suffering from budgetary constraints in an ageing society, ...

            <description><![CDATA[Brain implants have become an important tool to treat neurodegenerative diseases. Nearly hundred thousand people suffering from brain impairment (Parkinson’s disease, epilepsy, depression,...) have been helped with either a cellular or an electronic brain implant.    

In most therapeutic brain implants an external signal is applied to stimulate the brain.  In reverse, signals generated by the brain can be detected as well.  A combination of recording and stimulating simultaneously is possible.  This allows to &#39;close the loop&#39;,  sending a responsive signal to the brain, based on input from the brain itself.  This requires processing and interpreting brain signals by virtue of an external miniaturized classical computer. 

Thanks to the increase in neurophysiology and computer processing power in the last decade, enormous progress in the application of brain implants has been made.  For example, mind machine interface technology has made it possible for a paralyzed human being to drink coffee by means of brain signal based robotic control. 

In this symposium, which is also a NERF outreach program intended for the general public, we will introduce the &#39;Mind Machine Interface&#39; and illustrate two state-of-the-art applications. 

NERF is a neuro-electronics research initiative in Flanders founded by VIB, imec and KU Leuven, targeting at new medical applications for the diagnosis and treatment of brain disorders or malfunction.<br><br><em>Last modified on 14 March 2013, 00:00</em><br>]]></description>
