Medals for Polish inventors in Paris
Polish inventors won more than 30 medals at the International Invention Exhibition Concours Lépine in Paris. Awarded solutions include the device for elimination of microorganisms in car AC and simulation method of epidemics spreading.
Between April 30 and May 11, the exhibition visitors could see 550 innovative solutions showcased by exhibitors from 13 countries. According to the release sent to PAP by EUROBUSINESS - HALLER, the exclusive representative of Concours Lépine in Poland, Polish exhibitors presented 33 inventions. Polish inventors won 10 gold medals (out of 50 awarded), 11 silver medals (65 awarded), 11 bronze medals (80 awarded), the medal of the competition organizer - the French Association of Inventors and Manufacturers AIFF (40 awarded) and the medal of the French Ministry of Education, Higher Education and Research. Polish inventors also won two special prizes SEDINOX from Russia.
The solutions awarded the gold medal include Bio-Implant - Poland tissue engineering technology for cancer patients, developed at the Faculty of Materials Science and Engineering, Warsaw University of Technology. This solution also received a medal of the French Ministry of Education, Higher Education and Research.
Gold medal was also awarded to INPROT - Intelligent monitoring for threat detection using data protection based on digital watermarks technology from AGH University of Science and Technology in Kraków.
The same award was given to second generation ethanol biofuel production method from cellulose and lignocellulose, developed at the University of Agriculture in Kraków and Wrocław University of Life Sciences.
Gold also went to the authors of the photocatalytic device for deodorization and elimination of microorganisms in car AC systems, developed by Dytrych Sp. z o. o.
Another gold medal was awarded to the method of producing composite high-porosity fibres from dibutyrylchitin. It was developed by scientists from the Institute of Biopolymers and Chemical Fibres and the Faculty of Material Technologies and Textile Design, Łódź University of Technology.
Researchers from the Institute of Biopolymers and Chemical Fibres also developed another gold-winning solution: modified bacterial cellulose high and midrange dome driver.
Gold was awarded the evaluation system for casting, machining and selection assembly developed at the Institute of Mechanical Technology, Poznań University of Technology.
The Institute of Precision Mechanics won gold for AutoWir-S1 - automatic eddy current test station.
Military University of Technology in Warsaw won gold medal for the invention developed at the Faculty of Cybernetics: CARE - CREATIVE APPLICATION TO REMEDY EPIDEMICS allows to simulate the spread of epidemic diseases, which allows to predict the dynamics and range of infectious diseases, as well as identify effective remedy procedures.
School No. 6 and Practical Training Centre in Jastrzębie Zdrój won gold for "flashlight" for the blind, which uses sound signals to notify the user of obstacles.
Concours Lépine exhibition is organized since 1901. Innovations presented and promoted at the exhibition included two-stroke engine, heat turbine, artificial heart, lung machine ("iron lung"), blood transfusion apparatus, contact lenses, suction pump for toxins from bites, electric vacuum cleaner, steam iron, electric stove, dishwasher, washing machine, infrared remote control, pen and typewriter.
