"Intelligent" Sat-Nav system

Over the last several years satellite navigation systems have quickly become popular but some current systems can be inaccurate and know little more than where you are and where you are going.

Actinobacillus animal vaccine

A potential vaccine for Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae (APP) has been developed at Imperial College London. It is a Live Attenuated Vaccine (LAV) which was shown to have a protective effect against APP in a controlled pig trial. It could also have fewer side effects than current vaccines and it is easy and cheap to produce.

Brainatlas

The Brainatlas is the first, fully manually-constructed, label-based atlas of the human brain. It is an analysis tool for use in magnetic resonance imaging of the brain. The technology allows fast and accurate mapping of brain images in health and disease and for the development of novel therapeutics targeted at the brain.

Mercury sensing and scavenging

Mercury has significant adverse effects on human health and is present in various environments. This technology is a simple sensor which, compared with existing methods, can more easily detect mercury in soil, water, food and similar environments.

Technology for fluid mixing

Fluid mixing is a crucial part of many industrial processes. Scientists from Imperial College London have developed Fractal Flow Control (FFC) Grids which provide an elegant and economical alternative to current static in-line mixers.
