A German university developed a novel sliding bearing with hydrostatic support. It has been optimised energetically. This leads to an efficient reduction in the drive power of machines. The stress on the bearing is held hydrostatically by pressure generated within the bearing. This reduces release moments at the beginning of motion and avoids jerking start-up movements. During the movement process, a lubricant in interaction with the tribological contact surfaces ensures a constant low friction value of the bearing.

The German family business has developed versatile edible cups based on the needs of its own company and with the corresponding knowledge of the industry. In the absence of appropriate baking technology for the production of such products, the necessary baking process was also developed.

A German company developed a new process to extract organic and climate-neutral biological fertilizer from 100 percent natural renewable resources for use in biological farming, agriculture, horticulture and hobby gardens. The contents of this biological product are plant residues from biogas plants, trace elements and a proportional large share of humus that leads to an excellent water absorption capacity. The result is a slowly starting and steadily continuing fertilisation process with sustainable and positive impact for soils, groundwater and environment.

A German start-up company is specialised in information retrieval from unstructured data. Hereby it is focused on making information from different data silos available from one central platform. It uses different technologies such as advanced natural language processing, deep learning and computer vision to search documents and data bases (internal + external) intelligently. The technology enables the start ups customers to not only search classical documents with a semantic understanding but also to search through scanned documents with OCR (optical character recognition).
