  • Projekt: FETALSENS

    The goal is to reduce the stillbirth rate in cattle by developing a system that automatically records fetal ECGs. Automated, continuous monitoring of the heart activity of unborn calves improves birth monitoring on farms and aids in decision-making for veterinary procedures during birth. This reduces birth complications and the stillbirth rate. Miniaturization and data transmission to end devices, such as mobile phones and computers, are intended to ensure simple and safe application. SRFG is a project partner and is responsible for developing and testing the system for recording fetal ECGs.

    […] of movement during each ski turn and throughout the entire ski day, skiers gain better insight into their own performance. They can fine-tune their technique and thus improve the skiing experience. Become a tester now Are you planning a day of skiing and would like to know whether your ski turn is carved or rather slid? For the first time, amateur skiers will be able to try out the latest technologies developed with professionals in winter 2022/ 23. Here’s how it works: Rent a ski strap with integrated sensor technology free of charge and attach it to your own ski boot, install the app and hit the slopes. After each run, you will receive an immediate evaluation of your carving turns on your mobile phone.

    A compilation of important conceptual principles of digital twins in the plant life cycle and examples for their application and use in industrial practice. Georg Güntner from Salzburg Research, together with Simon Hoher, published a report with important conceptual principles of digital twins in the factory life cycle and examples for their application and use in industrial practice. The focus of the contributions in “Digital Twins im Anlagen-Lebenszyklus” (translated: “Digital Twins in the Factory Lifecycle”) is on the one hand on applications in the development and commissioning phase (Sections 2 and 3), and on the other hand on the use in the operation and maintenance phase (Sections 4 and 5) of systems. A contribution on the basic categorization of digital twins (Section 1), the presentation of relevant standards (Section 6) and a bibliography (Appendix A) for further information on the subject of digital twins round off the report. The term “digital twin” summarizes all […]

  • Publikation: Skiing quality analysis of recreational skiers based on IMU data and self-assessment

    Alpine skiing is a popular sport in many countries and holds benefits in terms of health and well-being. At the same time alpine skiing is associated with a certain risk of accidents caused, among other things, by overestimating one’s own skiing skills. Self-assessment of skiing skills is not trivial. Therefore, feedback modalities can be assistive. One feasible option to provide skiers with feedback on their skiing ability are Inertial Measurement Units (IMUs). The aim of this study was to analyse the skiing quality of recreational skiers based on IMU data, collected with the Connected Boot sensor system with a living lab approach to investigate whether the skiing quality score delivers reasonable results for recreational skiers. The system has been developed with expert skiers and so far has not been validated with recreational skiers. Therefore, we aimed to investigate whether the objective skiing quality score of the Connected Boot corresponds to the self-assessed carving ability […]

  • Post: How clothes can save lives

    […] Our current research helps to maintain well-being and physical and cognitive performance through the use of textile sensors. In the US alone, 50 firefighters die each year from the effects of overwork that occur in and through an operation. Rising temperatures in a firefighter’s suit lead to a “tipping point” where firefighters can collapse. Here, smart textiles offer the possibility for low-threshold measurement systems to record temperature, humidity and vital parameters. The combination of traditional textiles, smart materials and electronic components brings intelligence to clothing: This provides firefighters with low-threshold support during their work assignments that is independent of other systems. Intelligent algorithms can automatically initiate warnings and interventions based on sensor data to return vital signs to a state of well-being. Smart textiles can also support the development of sporting goods. Based on the sensor data, models are created that make complex biomechanical information during the use of sports articles detectable outside the […]

  • Post: Youth as Social Entrepreneurs

    A European research project helps to inspire young people for social innovation and to communicate entrepreneurial thinking, know-how and skills. DOIT – the European initiative led by Salzburg Research aims to inspire children and young people between the ages of six and 16 to tackle social issues. For this purpose methods and materials are developed and tested in schools and leisure facilities. One of eleven pilot activities is currently taking place in a Salzburg school. The current socio-economic climate in Europe is characterized by high youth unemployment and increasing social inequality. The OECD therefore calls for the strengthening of entrepreneurial skills at an early age. The European initiative “DOIT – Entrepreneurial Skills for Young Social Innovators in an Open Digital World” under the direction of Salzburg Research is dedicated to this mission. DOIT wants to inspire students (6-16 years) for social innovation and impart entrepreneurial thinking, know-how and skills. For this purpose, the DOIT […]

  • Projekt: QVIZ – Query and context based visualization of time-spatial cultural dynamic

    QVIZ is an European research project started in order to enhance user access to European National Archive material by providing spatial-temporal query visualization environment based admininistrative units and other facets; and a collaborative community tools for social knowledge building in order to further enhance access to materials in a more diverse semantic network. A common starting point that allows browsing of the archival resources through time and space using a dynamic map or contextual categories. The map interface locates the resources without the need of knowledge concerning the language that the resource keeps or which institution that holds the records. One important cornerstone is the QVIZ European Administrative Unit ontology which supports the map-based query vizualization environment. In addition to this, QVIZ also provides an environment for collaborative knowledge building to help build a semantic net around archival materials bookmarked by users into this community environment. By creating new content and knowledge, access to […]

  • Projekt: SNML-SMA – Digital Media Archives

    Digital media archives – together instead of alone? The digital archives of today’s medium-sized and major companies are more than just a collection of documents and rows of numbers. They also contain a huge amount of images, technical drawings, animations and audiovisual materials (e.g. voice recordings and video features). With the production of digital materials becoming easier, the demands for archivists are gradually rising. While budgets for administering and maintaining archives often remain the same, archivists are faced with an exponentially growing number of digital artifacts that need to be archived. It is a time-consuming process to categorize and tag audiovisual materials correctly and often there is a “semantic gap” between the real meaning of an artifact and its catalog tags. But what happens when the size or organization of a company don’t allow for the employment of a “full-time archivist”? Living archives One solution for dealing with these kinds of problems could be […]
