2016 Feasibility Studies Lead participant

Scalable Quantum Diamond Devices (SQDD)

1 Sep 2016 to 30 Nov 2017

Awarded
£62,500
Total cost £125,000

Quantum technologies use quantum physics to gain performance which is otherwise unattainable. The quantum world challenges our preconceptions, here objects can exist in two places at once. This world typically occurs on the atomic level at low temperatures which has meant that quantum technologies are difficult to realise. Research shows that the quantum ...

2015 Feasibility Studies Lead participant

Novel Processing for Diamond Quantum Technologies

1 Jun 2015 to 31 Aug 2016

Awarded
£96,430
Total cost £148,354

Quantum technologies take advantage of the strange world of quantum mechanics where, for example, objects can exist in two places at once. This world typically occurs on the atomic level at low temperatures which has meant that technologies that exploit these properties have been challenging to manufacture. Recent work has demonstrated that the quantum me...

2015 Collaborative R&D

Intelligent Tooling: Embedded Sensors for Machines and Cutting Tools

1 May 2015 to 30 Apr 2018

Awarded
£27,685
Total cost £92,872

Metals related manufacturing represents about 10% of all UK production activity and machining Metals related manufacturing represents about 10% of all UK production activity and machining remains the most important manufacturing process. According to the Manufacturing Technologies Association, in 2012 the UK machine tools, cutting tools and tool/work-hold...

2015 Collaborative R&D Lead participant

Total Residual Oxidant Analyser for the Marine Environment

1 Jan 2015 to 30 Sep 2016

Awarded
£100,989
Total cost £252,221

Due to an international treaty, about to be ratified, the process of fitting all the world's large ships with ballast water treatment and sensing systems (BWTS) that both kill invasive species transported and dumped in ports/coastal waters and monitor treatment, will begin. This TSB project enables Process Instruments (UK), a SME that specialises in water...

2014 Feasibility Studies Lead participant

Laser Enhancement of Diamond Drill bit insert micro-geometries for Oil and gas Exploration (LEDDOE)

1 Oct 2014 to 31 Aug 2016

Awarded
£79,727
Total cost £122,657

LEDDOE is aimed at developing a novel laser application which enhances the performance of polycrystalline diamond (PCD) composite drill bit inserts for oil and gas drilling applications. This will be achieved by using laser ablation to optimally profile the cutting edges to enhance drilling performance, thereby replacing the basic geometries with more com...

2014 Collaborative R&D

ntegration of novel sensors for automating HPHT diamond processes

1 Mar 2014 to 30 Nov 2017

Awarded
£121,908
Total cost £272,361

This industry led, collaborative project will investigate new and existing remote sensing technologies, , for application in High Pressure High Temperature (HPHT) diamond synthesis. To date, the challenge of extreme pressures (up to 15GPa), temperatures (up to 2000K) in the presence of molten metal catalysts in HPHT synthesis, have prevented the routine i...
