A*STAR Showcases 15 Innovative Solutions for Safety and Productivity at Singapore Airshow

Posted on by
Reply

Singapore (PRWEB UK) 15 February 2012

This is yet another good example of how A*STARs R&D capabilities, in partnership with companies, can bring economic value to Singapore. These technologies will be showcased at the Singapore Airshow from 14-19 February at Changi Exhibition Centre, Booth D35.

Showcased by A*STARs seven science and engineering research institutes, the advanced technologies are categorised into four key areas: airframe; maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO); electronics and communications and aviation logistics.

Among the A*STAR innovations are:

A) Airframe

Creating Deep Bonds – A fast curing technology for aerospace sealants and adhesives.

Existing sealants used to repair fuel leaks, install windshields and windows to seal out moisture in aircraft typically takes a few days to fully cure at normal room temperature. Short wave infrared (IR) radiation penetrates deeply into materials and ensures a more uniform curing through heating. IR radiation is currently used in devices such as heat scanners and sensors. The new and simple curing process, which does not compromise the integrity of the sealants, takes only one to two hours instead of seven days to complete. This means that it uses only 3-5% of the normal time taken by current aerospace industry curing processes, translating into increased productivity and operational efficiency, and could result in significant cost savings.

Waves of Change Modelling of electromagnetic interactions in an aircraft

The ever-increasing demand for communication, navigation, and entertainment leads to heavy adoption of high-speed electronic devices and wireless networks inside the airplane. While wireless communication removes the weight of connecting cables and reduces maintenance fees, it worsens the electromagnetic environment inside the aircraft. Because of this it has become increasingly important to simulate and analyse electromagnetic interactions inside the airplanes closed environment for reliable aircraft operational functions. The A*STAR-developed advanced simulation technology accurately models the electromagnetic interactions in a closed environment.

B) Maintenance, Repair, Overhaul (MRO)

Get in Shape Fast Advanced metal forming technology of high performance materials

Conventional high performance materials such as chromoly steel, nickel-based alloy and titanium alloys are used for aerospace engine components. The fabrication cost of these materials is high as these tough materials are difficult to form into components of various complex shapes. A novel yet flexible forming technology is being developed to bend and form high-performance materials and thin-walled components of light-weight materials without secondary process, saving time and material cost by 14% and 40% respectively.

Repair With A New Shine Applications of Laser Aided Additive Manufacturing for Repair of Engine Components

Laser Aided Additive Manufacturing (LAAM) technology can be used to accurately repair damaged parts and directly manufacture nickel-base and titanium-base superalloy 3D components. These tough materials are difficult to repair due to cracking, oxidation and the need to maintain grain size and micro structure integrity. Due to the low heat input and high automation level, LAAM technology has shown its significant advantages over traditional repair processes such as Tungsten Inert Gas (TIG) welding and thermal spraying. Traditional repair processes cause distortion and peel-off arising from low bonding strength. LAAM technology yields several productivity improvements. Manpower training takes only two weeks compared to a minimum of half a year before an operator is qualified and experienced for repair work. The deposition rate with localised heating also increases. Current TIG method requires four days to achieve consistent quality for a part compared to 20 minutes. Less material is removed, saving machining time. Current TIG cladding requires about 54% material removal compared to 20% for LAAM.

Making Good Sense Health monitoring and diagnosis

A contactless health and diagnostics check is used for detection of early corrosion surface cracks (including length, width and depth) of less than 1mm and defect detection in composite parts against disbond, de-lamination impact damage. With the rapid scan rates of 0.06m/min 1.2m/min, non-visible surface cracks can be detected reliably and accurately, minimising potential downtime and improving operational efficiency. Unlike the current ultrasonic methods, this monitoring and diagnostic system is able to detect cracks under paint and thin non-conductive coatings. It does not require a medium to transmit signals into the materials under test.

C) Electronics and Communications

Solutions for flight circuit boards and robust memory system

Hot Stuff Integrated circuits for operation up to 300C

Many industries such as oil exploration, aerospace and automotive require electronic circuitry that operates at high temperatures.To address these upcoming needs, A*STARs Institute of Microelectronics (IME) Rugged Electronics Programme develops sensor interface electronics that can reliably measure various physical parameters at soaring temperatures of up to 300

Trust Showcases Threat of Internet Predators; Keep Your Kids Safe Online with Computer Monitoring Software

Posted on by

Las Vegas, NV (Vocus) September 17, 2010

David Schwimmer is most known for his comedic role in the long-running 1990s sitcom “Friends.” But this year, he brought a very serious message to the Toronto International Film Festival and parents need to listen up.

Schwimmer is the director of Trust, a fictional story that portrays real-life danger. Clive Owen and Catherine Keener star as parents of a 14-year-old girl, played by newcomer Liana Liberato, who meets a man in an Internet chat room that befriends her, gains her trust, lures her to a motel room and rapes her.

While the film is still seeking a US-distribution deal, according to one Associated Press story, Schwimmer hopes to get the film into theaters as a cautionary tale to parents about the dangers children face online, where sexual predators can stalk victims with anonymity.

This horrifying story is all too real, says Pandora Corp. co-founder Jamie Leasure. More and more we are seeing stories in the press of young teens who fall in love with older men they meet online.

Pandora Corp. follows media stories of real-life Internet predators and offers a weekly compilation on Pandoras Blog, as a reminder to parents that the threats do exist. Leasure says in the past months, more stories have surfaced of real teens willfully meeting in real life with the men they meet on the Internet; many times they also consent to sexual activity.

Just like in the movie, predators use a tactic called grooming, where they spend their time to become friends with a young teen and gain their trust, explains Leasure. It gets to a point where the young minds have been so warped, that even when lies are exposed, the internet predators succeed in their mission.

Leasure says it is necessary for all parents to monitor their childs Internet activity. Not only should parents be concerned with whom their children are talking to online, but they need to be cognizant of strangers who are trying to initiate conversation.

Pandora Corp. is the maker of PC Pandora computer monitoring software, a program that lets parents see everything their kids are doing online. First-rate monitoring capabilities take sequential screenshots of all activity. All emails, instant messenger conversations, social networking activity, websites visited, search queries and more are recorded and presented in easy-to-read charts and tables. If a child is forming a relationship with a stranger, or taking other risks, the parents will be able to see it first-hand.

PC Pandora gives parents an exact record of everything their child does, so they can be sure of their safety, and/or intervene if necessary, says Leasure.

According to the AP article, Schwimmer talked to families of victims and FBI agents to help craft the right Internet predator for his movie.

He learned what every parent needs to understand, explains Leasure. These online predators are not stereotypical. They come in every form. They are our neighbors; they are husbands, fathers, teachers, cops, coaches, priests and every other male figure you would normally put a lot of trust into. That is the scariest part; and thats why parents need to be vigilant and monitor Internet activity.

About PC Pandora: Pandora Corporation was formed with one goal to help our customers monitor, control and protect their families and themselves online. First released in mid 2005, PC Pandora has been constantly upgraded to industry-leading specifications and has received accolades from users, reviewers and even school districts and law enforcement agencies, who use the program to help in the day-to-day supervision of the children and citizens they are charged with protecting. The company website devotes space to helping parents by providing them with 18 Tips to Safe Surfing and Pandoras Blog, where current news in the world of online safety is discussed regularly. In addition, the Pandora Corp. has made the PD Pandora Internet Safety Symposium available to schools and law enforcement as a free resource for spreading internet safety awareness to parents. Over the past few years, PC Pandora has vaulted into a leadership position for parental control software by boasting a combination of features that are unparalleled in the monitoring industry. In 2010, Version 6.0 was released, again widening the spectrum of coverage and protection offered by the program. Concurrently released with 6.0, the web-based PC Pandora LIVE! service affords parents the ability to keep their kids safe from anywhere at anytime. PC Pandora is also now available through the Pandora Corp. store at Amazon.com.
