Adjusting the friction response of the wheel-rail interface is a key factor in the mitigation of wear and rollingcontact fatigue (RCF) in rails. The use of top-of-rail (TOR) friction conditioners has the potential to reduce maintenance costs significantly. Unfortunately, conflicting results on the use of commercial TOR conditioners have been presented in the literature. In this work, the performance of commercial TOR conditioners and a laboratory-made formulation were tested, both on the lab scale and in field measurements. Friction results are discussed together with the structural and chemical analysis of the tested materials.
In this paper, we propose a novel method for real-time control of electric distribution grids with a limited number of measurements. The method copes with the changing grid behaviour caused by the increasing number of renewable energies and electric vehicles. Three AI based models are used. Firstly, a probabilistic forecasting estimates possible scenarios at unobserved grid nodes. Secondly, a state estimation is used to detect grid congestion. Finally, a grid control suggests multiple possible solutions for the detected problem. The best countermeasures are then detected by evaluating the systems stability for the next time-step.
Nowadays, the importance of early active patient mobilization in the recovery and rehabilitation phase has increased significantly. One way to involve patients in the treatment is a gamification-like approach, which is one of the methods of motivation in various life processes. This article shows a system prototype for patients who require physical activity because of active early mobilization after medical interventions or during illness. Bedridden patients and people with a sedentary lifestyle (predominantly lying in bed) are also potential users. The main idea for the concept was non-contact system implementation for the patients making them feel effortless during its usage. The system consists of three related parts: hardware, software, and game application. To test the relevance and coherence of the system, it was used by 35 people. The participants were asked to play a video game requiring them to make body movements while lying down. Then they were asked to take part in a small survey to evaluate the system's usability. As a result, we offer a prototype consisting of hardware and software parts that can increase and diversify physical activity during active early mobilization of patients and prevent the occurrence of possible health problems due to predominantly low activity. The proposed design can be possibly implemented in hospitals, rehabilitation centers, and even at home.
Sleep analysis using a Polysomnography system is difficult and expensive. That is why we suggest a non-invasive and unobtrusive measurement. Very few people want the cables or devices attached to their bodies during sleep. The proposed approach is to implement a monitoring system, so the subject is not bothered. As a result, the idea is a non-invasive monitoring system based on detecting pressure distribution. This system should be able to measure the pressure differences that occur during a single heartbeat and during breathing through the mattress. The system consists of two blocks signal acquisition and signal processing. This whole technology should be economical to be affordable enough for every user. As a result, preprocessed data is obtained for further detailed analysis using different filters for heartbeat and respiration detection. In the initial stage of filtration, Butterworth filters are used.
Die Frage „Wozu braucht man das?“ vonseiten der Studierenden oder Aussagen wie „Das habe ich im Beruf später nie mehr benötigt.“ von ehemaligen Studierenden ist den meisten Mathematikdozierenden sehr vertraut. Im Projekt BiLeSA wird dem Wunsch nach Integration von Praxisnähe im Mathematikunterricht mithilfe einer Smartphone-App, welche ausgewählte Themen in der Mathematik anhand von digitalen Bildern sichtbar macht, umgesetzt. Bei den ausgewählten Themen handelt es sich um (affin) lineare Abbildungen, Ableitungen in höheren Raumdimensionen und Potenzen von Komplexen Zahlen. Die Konzeptionierung des Lernobjekts erfolgte mit dem Design Based Research (DBR) Ansatz, welches im Basisprojekt des IBH-Labs „Seamless Learning“ konzipiert und entwickelt wurde.
Wer schon einmal dicht gedrängt vor der Konzertbühne stand kann sich die aussichtslose Lage, wenn die Stimmung kippt und Panik aufkommt, gut vorstellen. Es ist sehr wichtig, Räume und Events, die zeitweise von sehr vielen Menschen aufgesucht werden, so zu gestalten und zu planen, dass maximale Sicherheit gewährleistet ist. Damit eine öffentliche Veranstaltung reibungslos verläuft ist eine gründliche Planung, also ein qualitativ hochwertiges Crowd Management unabdingbar.
Reed-Muller (RM) codes have recently regained some interest in the context of low latency communications and due to their relation to polar codes. RM codes can be constructed based on the Plotkin construction. In this work, we consider concatenated codes based on the Plotkin construction, where extended Bose-Chaudhuri-Hocquenghem (BCH) codes are used as component codes. This leads to improved code parameters compared to RM codes. Moreover, this construction is more flexible concerning the attainable code rates. Additionally, new soft-input decoding algorithms are proposed that exploit the recursive structure of the concatenation and the cyclic structure of the component codes. First, we consider the decoding of the cyclic component codes and propose a low complexity hybrid ordered statistics decoding algorithm. Next, this algorithm is applied to list decoding of the Plotkin construction. The proposed list decoding approach achieves near-maximum-likelihood performance for codes with medium lengths. The performance is comparable to state-of-the-art decoders, whereas the complexity is reduced.
Automotive computing applications like AI databases, ADAS, and advanced infotainment systems have a huge need for persistent memory. This trend requires NAND flash memories designed for extreme automotive environments. However, the error probability of NAND flash memories has increased in recent years due to higher memory density and production tolerances. Hence, strong error correction coding is needed to meet automotive storage requirements. Many errors can be corrected by soft decoding algorithms. However, soft decoding is very resource-intensive and should be avoided when possible. NAND flash memories are organized in pages, and the error correction codes are usually encoded page-wise to reduce the latency of random reads. This page-wise encoding does not reach the maximum achievable capacity. Reading soft information increases the channel capacity but at the cost of higher latency and power consumption. In this work, we consider cell-wise encoding, which also increases the capacity compared to page-wise encoding. We analyze the cell-wise processing of data in triple-level cell (TLC) NAND flash and show the performance gain when using Low-Density Parity-Check (LDPC) codes. In addition, we investigate a coding approach with page-wise encoding and cell-wise reading.
Large persistent memory is crucial for many applications in embedded systems and automotive computing like AI databases, ADAS, and cutting-edge infotainment systems. Such applications require reliable NAND flash memories made for harsh automotive conditions. However, due to high memory densities and production tolerances, the error probability of NAND flash memories has risen. As the number of program/erase cycles and the data retention times increase, non-volatile NAND flash memories' performance and dependability suffer. The read reference voltages of the flash cells vary due to these aging processes. In this work, we consider the issue of reference voltage adaption. The considered estimation procedure uses shallow neural networks to estimate the read reference voltages for different life-cycle conditions with the help of histogram measurements. We demonstrate that the training data for the neural networks can be enhanced by using shifted histograms, i.e., a training of the neural networks is possible based on a few measurements of some extreme points used as training data. The trained neural networks generalize well for other life-cycle conditions.
The growing error rates of triple-level cell (TLC) and quadruple-level cell (QLC) NAND flash memories have led to the application of error correction coding with soft-input decoding techniques in flash-based storage systems. Typically, flash memory is organized in pages where the individual bits per cell are assigned to different pages and different codewords of the error-correcting code. This page-wise encoding minimizes the read latency with hard-input decoding. To increase the decoding capability, soft-input decoding is used eventually due to the aging of the cells. This soft-decoding requires multiple read operations. Hence, the soft-read operations reduce the achievable throughput, and increase the read latency and power consumption. In this work, we investigate a different encoding and decoding approach that improves the error correction performance without increasing the number of reference voltages. We consider TLC and QLC flashes where all bits are jointly encoded using a Gray labeling. This cell-wise encoding improves the achievable channel capacity compared with independent page-wise encoding. Errors with cell-wise read operations typically result in a single erroneous bit per cell. We present a coding approach based on generalized concatenated codes that utilizes this property.
Die Automobilindustrie steht wirtschaftlich aktuell besser da, als von manchem erwartet. Sie steht aber gleichzeitig großen Herausforderungen gegenüber, denn wir erleben die Überlagerung dreier Transformationen, deren Auswirkungen sich wohl in keinem Markt so gravierend niederschlagen wie in diesem. Um hierbei die Rolle als Leitmarkt zu erhalten, braucht es mehr Veränderungsintelligenz und eine noch höhere Innovationsdynamik. Diese sind mit beidhändigen Organisationen zu erreichen, die die Ambidextrie beherrschen, gleichzeitig das Kerngeschäft zu optimieren und mit strategischer Innovation Zukunft zu erfinden.
A key objective of this research is to take a more detailed look at a central aspect of resilience in small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). A literature review and expert interviews were used to investigate which factors have an impact on the innovative capacity of start-ups and whether these can also be adapted by SMEs. First of all, it must be stated that there are considerable structural and process-related differences between start-ups and SMEs. These can considerably inhibit cooperation between the two forms of enterprise. However, in the same context, success factors and issues in the start-up sector could also be identified that can improve cooperation with SMEs. These and other findings are then discussed in both an economic and an academic context. This article was written as part of the research activities of the Smart Services Competence Centre (proper name: Kompetenzzentrum Smart Services), a central contact point for all questions in the area of smart service digitalization in Baden-Wuerttemberg. Here, companies can obtain information about various digital technologies and take advantage of various measures for the development of new ideas and innovative services (Kompetenzzentrum Smart Services BW: Über das Kompetenzzentrum, 2021).
Improving the tribological properties of Stainless Steels by low-temperature surface hardening
(2022)
Thema der Masterarbeit ist die Zukunft des Generalunternehmers. Auf Grund verschiedener Entwicklungen in den letzten Monaten und Jahren, wie zum Beispiel dem Auflösen der Generalunternehmungssparte des Schweizer Pioniers Steiner AG, stellt sich in der Baubranche die Frage, ob das Modell des GU zukunftsfähig ist oder ob in nächster Zeit ein disruptiver Prozess Einzug erhalten könnte.
Das primäre Ziel der Arbeit ist es, herauszufinden, ob für das Geschäftsmodell des Generalunternehmers bereits oder zukünftig eine Bedrohung besteht. Dabei wird die vergangene, derzeitige und zu-künftige Lage der Baubranche analysiert. Eine Rolle spielen dabei die betrieblichen Triebkräfte, Marktanalysen und Trends. Weiterhin sollen verschiedene Trends und Innovationen in der Baubranche er-mittelt, sowie den hieraus entstehenden Einfluss für den Generalunternehmer abgeschätzt werden. Zusätzlich soll ein Analysetool entworfen werden, mit Hilfe dessen man in Zukunft schnell, einheitlich und verlässlich Trends und Innovationen analysieren und bewerten kann.
Zuerst wird das Geschäftsmodell des Generalunternehmers erläutert. Hierbei wird unter anderem die Wertschöpfung des Generalunternehmers behandelt. Danach werden die Five Forces nach Porter betrachtet. Weiterhin wird die Rolle der Unternehmenskultur hinsichtlich ihres Einflusses auf den Betriebserfolg untersucht. Im darauffolgenden Kapitel geht es um die vergangene, derzeitige und kurzfristige Entwicklung der Baubranche in Europa. Im abschließenden Kapitel werden verschiedene Trends, die das Generalunternehmer Modell betreffen, ermittelt. Zu guter Letzt wird aufgezeigt, wie wichtig Trendanalysen für die langfristige Zukunft von Generalunternehmern sind. Außerdem wird ein Analysetool erstellt und an den Trends BIM und Nachhaltigkeit angewendet.
Das Ergebnis der Masterarbeit zeigt, dass das Modell des Generalunternehmers im Vergleich zur über-geordneten Branche derzeit nicht wesentlicher bedroht ist. Der stetige Zuwachs der Inanspruchnahme von Dienstleistungen und der steigende Fachkräftemangel in der ganzen Baubranche sind Indikatoren, die die Attraktivität des GU Modells auf dem Markt anheben. Termin- Kosten- und Qualitätsrisiken liegen beim GU aufgrund des Fachkräftemangels und steigender Materialpreise in der Baubranche. Die Digitalisierungstrends bieten für die Baubranche und somit auch für den GU neue Möglichkeiten für produktivere Projektabwicklungen. Sie dienen damit mehr als Werkzeug denn als Ersatz für das GU Modell. Die Lieferengpässe und die Bauteuerungen beeinträchtigen derzeitige und zukünftige Projekte branchenübergreifend. Abhilfe könnte hier die Mietung von Hallen bzw. Lagerflächen leisten, um das Material frühzeitig zu bestellen und zu lagern. Einzig neue Vertragsgestaltungen, wie sie zum Teil schon in England, Australien und den USA angewendet werden, können eine Bedrohung für das GU-Modell darstellen. Da in diesen Verträgen eine Kernkompetenz des GU, die Koordination zwischen den Ge-werken, durch die Kooperation zwischen den Gewerken, bedroht wird. Jedoch sträuben sich bislang die Planer und die Bauherren dagegen. Der Baubranche werden allgemein stabile Prognosen mit leichtem Umsatzplus zugesagt. Aus Sicht des Marktes besteht somit vorerst keine Gefahr für das GU Modell. Um den Einfluss von Trends und Entwicklungen auf das GU Modell anhand verschiedener Indikatoren einschätzen zu können, wurde ein Analysetool entwickelt, damit auch zukünftig der Einfluss von Neuerungen auf den GU Markt abgeleitet werden kann. Bei der Analyse der Trends spielt vor allem die Beschaffung von verlässlichen Informationen eine tragende Rolle. Die Einsatzgebiete von Trendanalysen sind in einem Unternehmen sehr vielfältig. Das Ergebnis der untersuchten Trends BIM und Nachhaltigkeit hat ergeben, dass diese eher Chancen anstatt Risiken für die Baubranche und somit auch für das GU Modell darstellen. Die allgemeine Umfrage zur Bedrohung des Geschäftsmodells GU hat ergeben, dass aus Sicht der Probanden eine mittlere Bedrohung vorliegt. Umfragewerte sind hinsichtlich ihrer Subjektivität und der aktuellen durch Krisen bestimmten Lage jedoch immer hinsichtlich Ihrer Aussagekraft in Kontext zu setzen.
With the high resolution of modern sensors such as multilayer LiDARs, estimating the 3D shape in an extended object tracking procedure is possible. In recent years, 3D shapes have been estimated in spherical coordinates using Gaussian processes, spherical double Fourier series or spherical harmonics. However, observations have shown that in many scenarios only a few measurements are obtained from top or bottom surfaces, leading to error-prone estimates in spherical coordinates. Therefore, in this paper we propose to estimate the shape in cylindrical coordinates instead, applying harmonic functions. Specifically, we derive an expansion for 3D shapes in cylindrical coordinates by solving a boundary value problem for the Laplace equation. This shape representation is then integrated in a plain greedy association model and compared to shape estimation procedures in spherical coordinates. Since the shape representation is only integrated in a basic estimator, the results are preliminary and a detailed discussion for future work is presented at the end of the paper.
In this paper, approximating the shape of a sailing boat using elliptic cones is investigated. Measurements are assumed to be gathered from the target's surface recorded by 3D scanning devices such as multilayer LiDAR sensors. Therefore, different models for estimating the sailing boat's extent are presented and evaluated in simulated and real-world scenarios. In particular, the measurement source association problem is addressed in the models. Simulated investigations are conducted with a static and a moving elliptic cone. The real-world scenario was recorded with a Velodyne Alpha Prime (VLP-128) mounted on a ferry of Lake Constance. Final results of this paper constitute the extent estimation of a single sailing boat using LiDAR data applying various measurement models.
Gamification is one of the recognized methods of motivating people in various life processes, and it has spread to many spheres of life, including healthcare. This article proposes a system design for long-term care patients using the method mentioned. The proposed system aims to increase patient engagement in the treatment and rehabilitation process via gamification. Literature research on available and earlier proposed systems was conducted to develop a suited system design. The primary target group includes bedridden patients and a sedentary lifestyle (predominantly lying in bed). One of the main criteria for selecting a suitable option was its contactless realization for the mentioned target groups in long-term care cases. As a result, we developed the system design for hardware and software that could prevent bedsores and other health problems from occurring because of low activity. The proposed design can be tested in hospitals, nursing homes, and rehabilitation centers.
The respiratory rate is a vital sign indicating breathing illness. It is necessary to analyze the mechanical oscillations of the patient's body arising from chest movements. An inappropriate holder on which the sensor is mounted, or an inappropriate sensor position is some of the external factors which should be minimized during signal registration. This paper considers using a non-invasive device placed under the bed mattress and evaluates the respiratory rate. The aim of the work is the development of an accelerometer sensor holder for this system. The normal and deep breathing signals were analyzed, corresponding to the relaxed state and when taking deep breaths. The evaluation criterion for the holder's model is its influence on the patient's respiratory signal amplitude for each state. As a result, we offer a non-invasive system of respiratory rate detection, including the mechanical component providing the most accurate values of mentioned respiratory rate.
