An Advanced Command, Control & Communication (C3) Solution For Railway Systems

ST Electronics began its journey in the MRT business way back in 1984 when Singapore embarked on its first MRT project; the North/South & East/West Line.

From its humble beginnings as an ‘installer’, ST Electronics has over the years made tremendous progress up the value chain. It is now able to offer complete turnkey MRT solutions that encompass Project Management, System Engineering, Products and Solutions that meets the needs of MRT operators.

The Advanced Command, Control and Communication (C3) System is one of ST Electronics’ products that is designed and developed in-house specifically for the MRT market. It offers MRT operator an integrated, unified and operation-centric command and control room platform that enhances its operation; and improves the levels of Service, Reliability and Safety to the commuters.

The C3 system has been deployed in major cities in ASEAN and other Asian cities. As a leading railway solution provider, ST Electronics is optimistic that the C3 solution would play an integral role in the future MRT expansion plans of Singapore and other cities around the world.”

 

A Novel and Highly Effective Micro/Minichannel Heat Sink

The novel high performance micro/mini-channel heat sink is a collaborative project between NUS’s Micro Thermal Systems Group and GCoreLab Pte Ltd.

The patent pending oblique fin technology improves performance, reliability and life of heat generating devices while reducing redundancies, energy consumption and cost.

Applications include thermal management of EV batteries, power electronics, CPVT, CSP and wind turbine gearboxes and more compact high performance heat exchanger.

 

Automated Wearable Artificial Kidney

Temasek Polytechnic, in collaboration with AWAK Technologies, developed an Automated Wearable Artificial Kidney (AWAK) with the vision of saving, sustaining  and enhancing the life of  end-stage kidney failure patients.

AWAK is the world first peritoneal-based wearable dialysis machine, fully battery operated and weighing less than 1 kilogram. Clinical trials are being arranged in Singapore, USA and Germany to support certification.

 

CleanTech Park, Research Laboratories and Offices for Green Technologies, 1st icon for CleanTech Park, Singapore’s first eco-business park

CleanTech Park is Singapore’s 1st Eco-Business Park.

CleanTech One is the 1st iconic Green Mark Platinum building with the highest score under the Green Mark Platinum Building for New Non-Residential Building.

Estimated water savings of 11,217 m3/yr through rain water harvesting and grey water recycling.

 

Development of Intelligent Techniques for Modelling, Controlling and Optimising Complex Manufacturing Systems

A team of researchers led by Prof. Er Meng Joo, School of Electrical and Electronic Engineering, Nanyang Technological University have successfully developed intelligent techniques for modeling, controlling and optimizing complex manufacturing systems. This is a joint work with the Singapore Institute of Manufacturing Technology.

This research has resulted in many effective tools to improve both productivity and quality in manufacturing industry, in particular, the precision engineering and aerospace industry.

The developed technologies have resulted in enormous commercial impact and true testimonies from both local and overseas companies and are poised to shape the future of manufacturing.

 

High Performance Silicon Photonics and Plasmonics: From Cost010Competitive and Sustainable CMOSCompatible Processes to Fast Information Management
Researchers from A*STAR Institute of Microelectronics (IME) develop cost-competitive Si photonics technology platform for ultra fast information management.

For their outstanding contributions in advancing Singapore’s semiconductor technology and industry development through cutting edge research on silicon photonics.

 

Low Cost Wearable Wireless ECG Plaster for Managing Cardiovascular Disease

By 2030, cardiovascular disease will cause almost 23.6 million deaths globally every year according to the World Health Organization. A team of researchers, led by Prof. Lian Yong from the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering of National University of Singapore, has developed the world’s first 450 nanoWatt electrocardiogram (ECG) chip for managing cardiovascular disease.

Using the technology, the NUS spin-off company, ClearBridge VitalSigns, created the CardioLeaf®, a wireless wearable ECG plaster to facilitate the continuous monitoring of heart condition from anywhere.

 

Treelodge @ Punggol: HDB’s 1st Eco-friendly Public Housing Development

HDB has successfully led the development of their first eco-precinct, Treelodge@Punggol.

As a pilot project in sustainable development, a multitude of cost-effective Green Building Technologies are integrated with passive design strategies and adapted for large-scale use in a tropical climate public housing precinct.
