What ?
“Wearable/Textile” antennas offer 3 main advantages
Traditional antennas
Main Advantages
“Wearable/textile” antennas
Advantage 1: Larger antenna surface available
• Supports longer wavelengths• Requires less power• Gives more autonomy• Offers better sensitivity
Advantage 2: No hard surface, stubs needed
• Is flexible (but not drapable)• Can be bended• Doesn’t hurt• Doesn’t obstruct movements
Advantage 3: Embedded in/at surface
• Is hidden, not visible• Allows for nice look & feel• Can not be detached• Offers lightweight solution

Long-list of potential valorization ideas
Valorization idea Proposition Our differentiation
Wearable game controllers
Enabling a wireless connection between the next generation of wearable game controllers (e.g. gloves, cfr WII) towards game station or PC
• Antenna is fully flexible such that it doesn’t obstruct player’s movements
• Antenna is integrated in glove, allowing for an esthetical design
Extending range and sensitivity of existing built-in antennas in rural/remote areas or covert areas (e.g. cellar) for Tetra, GSM, DECT, Walki-Talki, .... by being integrated in jacket of policemen, firefighters, security agents, ....
• Antenna can be extended over several cm² in function of required radio frequency
• Antenna is fully flexible such that it doesn’t obstruct officer’s movementsRadio Communication
Booster
Embedding GPS localization and transmission in a jacket (e.g. live jacket at sea, ski, ) to allow for faster localization and rescue
• Antenna enables localization over larger areas, longer autonomy• Antenna can be easily folded and stored, no hard parts• Antenna is flexible, doesn’t obstruct movements• Antenna is attached to jacket, doesn’t disconnect during events

Sell to traditional TETRA-like telecom integrators of firefighters, policemen, ... like Zenitel
A complete “radio communication booster” set comprising of antenna, amplifiers & connectorswhere the antenna is pre-sewed on a piece of textile which can be sewed/velcro-ed to clothing
Offering a high-gain solution thanks to the large surface for in-door coverage, which won’t hinder the user at all thanks to its flexible attachment to clothing
Proven textile antennae, with larger surface and being flexible vs existing antennae
Leveraging our unique know-how in flexible antenna design (materials, design practices) complemented by own-designed matching electronics
Can be sold in relatively large quantities at high price point (100s of euros) given price point of TETRA terminals and size of TETRA market. Could become several 10M€s business

The challenge: find right level of detail
“The Nerd” My plan is to exploit a novel exhaust purification method with the following functions:•estimating an accumulated level of particulate matter in a particulate filter;•raising temperature of the particulate filter to regenerate particulate that has accumulated, when the accumulated level of the particulate matter has reached the prescribed level;•determining if an engine is operating for a first time following replacement of an engine controller; and•regenerating a particulate filter even if the accumulated level of particulate matter is below the prescribed level, upon determining that the engine is being operated for the first time following replacement of the engine controller....
