E.B.E.C 2014 - Team Greece - Day 1 Case StudyMarios Bikos
This document presents a case study on recovering waste heat from factory flue gases in Greece. It describes a technology system that can capture heat from flue gases at around 200°C and use it to generate electricity via organic Rankine cycle machines, produce hot water, provide house heating through a district heating network, and enable cooling. The solution would provide financial benefits through reduced energy costs and maintenance expenditures for factories while also reducing carbon and other emissions that contribute to environmental benefits.

MSc Thesis: VR for the Study of Moral Dilemmas involving Driverless CarsMarios Bikos
MSc Thesis: “VR for the Study of Moral Dilemmas involving Driverless Cars ”, Supervisor: Prof. Mel Slater (Grade: 86%). Exploited VR to get an insight on how people evaluate the morality of decisions a driverless car should inevitably make in moral dilemma situations.
This document summarizes a presentation about mobile augmented reality (AR). It discusses that AR enhances the real environment by combining real and virtual elements in real-time. Popular applications of AR include overlaying information in manuals, tourism maps, and educational materials. Current challenges to AR include photorealistic rendering, user perspective rendering, and occlusion handling with real objects. Popular AR devices discussed include Google Glass, Microsoft Hololens, Meta Spaceglasses, and AR apps on smartphones. The document also covers tracking techniques, including marker-based, markerless, and simultaneous localization and mapping methods.
E.B.E.C 2014 - Team Greece - Day 3 Case StudyMarios Bikos
1) This document analyzes the features and claims of 5 annexes relating to an aircraft evacuation system against the claims of the subject patent application.
2) It finds that Claim 1 is anticipated by Annexes 4 and 5 which disclose an exit finding system using floor coverings and a system for tactilely indicating routes. Claim 2 is anticipated by Annex 2 which discloses means detectable through thick materials.
3) Claim 4 is anticipated by Annexes 4 and 5 which disclose an exit finding system for a plane with rows of seats and tactile/visual means, and Claim 5 lacks inventiveness due to prior art disclosed in Annexes 1, 4 and 5 regarding tactile arrow shapes.
E.B.E.C 2014 - Team Greece - Day 2 Case StudyMarios Bikos
This document presents a case study from Greece on developing solutions for dust control at construction sites. It outlines a proposed solution using nanotechnology-enabled anti-dust photovoltaic coatings, ventilation systems, dust-collecting sprinklers, and anti-dust carpets. A SWOT analysis is provided for the solution. The estimated capital costs are $20 million for solar coatings, $10 million for ventilation, $8 million for sprinklers, and $2 million for carpets, with ongoing operating costs under $50,000 per month. Profits are expected from energy generated by the solar components.
