Bei bimodaler Cochlea-Implantat-/Hörgerät-Versorgung kann es aufgrund seitenverschiedener Signalverarbeitung zu einer zeitlich versetzten Stimulation der beiden Modalitäten kommen. Jüngste Studien haben gezeigt, dass durch zeitlichen Abgleich der Modalitäten die Schalllokalisation bei bimodaler Versorgung verbessert werden kann. Um solch einen Abgleich vornehmen zu können, ist die messtechnische Bestimmung der Durchlaufzeit von Hörgeräten erforderlich. Kommerziell verfügbare Hörgerätemessboxen können diese Werte häufig liefern. Die dazu verwendete Signalverarbeitung wird dabei aber oft nicht vollständig offengelegt. In dieser Arbeit wird ein alternativer und nachvollziehbarer Ansatz zum Design eines simplen Messaufbaus basierend auf einem Arduino DUE Mikrocontroller-Board vorgestellt. Hierzu wurde ein Messtisch im 3D-Druck gefertigt, auf welchem Hörgeräte über einen 2-ccm-Kuppler an ein Messmikrofon angeschlossen werden können. Über einen Latenzvergleich mit dem simultan erfassten Signal eines Referenzmikrofons kann die Durchlaufzeit von Hörgeräten bestimmt werden. Frequenzspezifische Durchlaufzeiten werden mittels einer Kreuzkorrelation zwischen Ziel- und Referenzsignal errechnet. Aufnahme, Ausgabe und Speicherung der Signale erfolgt über einen ATMEL SAM3X8E Mikrocontroller, welcher auf dem Arduino DUE-Board verbaut ist. Über eigens entworfene elektronische Schaltungen werden die Mikrofone und der verwendete Lautsprecher angesteuert. Nach Abschluss einer Messung (Messdauer ca. 5 s) werden die Messdaten seriell an einen PC übertragen, auf dem die Datenauswertung mittels MATLAB erfolgt. Erste Validierungen zeigten eine hohe Stabilität der Messergebnisse mit sehr geringen Standardabweichungen im Bereich weniger Mikrosekunden für Pegel zwischen 50 und 75 dB (A). Der Messaufbau wird in laufenden Studien zur Quantifizierung der Durchlaufzeit von Hörgeräten verwendet.
Lean und ERP - Synergie oder Widerspruch? Ein neuer Ansatz zur Steigerung der Unternehmenseffizienz
(2015)
Eine erfolgreiche Zusammenführung der Vorteile von ERP-Systemen mit den Vorzügen des Lean-Ansatzes kann zur Erschließung eines erheblichen Verbesserungspotenzials und damit zu signifikanten Wettbewerbsvorteilen einer Unternehmung führen. Da dieser Ansatz in der Praxis häufig kritisiert und bisher kaum adäquat verfolgt wird, zielt dieser Beitrag darauf ab, einen innovativen Lösungsweg vorzustellen, welcher nicht nur theoretisch, sondern auch anhand eines ERP-Einführungsprojekts in einem KMU empirisch aufzeigt, dass Lean und ERP nutzbringend miteinander kombiniert werden können und sollten.
In this paper we integrate the ideas of network coding and relays into an existing practical network architecture used in a wireless network scenario. Specifically, we use the COPE architecture to test our ideas. Since previous works have focused on the communication aspect at the physical layer level, we attempt to take it one step further by including the MAC layer. Our idea is based on information theoretic concepts developed by Shannon in order to reliably apply network coding to increase the net throughput.
Experimental Investigation of the Air Exchange Effectiveness of Push-Pull Ventilation Devices
(2020)
The increasing installation numbers of ventilation units in residential buildings are driven by legal objectives to improve their energy efficiency. The dimensioning of a ventilation system for nearly zero energy buildings is usually based on the air flow rate desired by the clients or requested by technical regulations. However, this does not necessarily lead to a system actually able to renew the air volume of the living space effectively. In recent years decentralised systems with an alternating operation mode and fairly good energy efficiencies entered the market and following question was raised: “Does this operation mode allow an efficient air renewal?” This question can be answered experimentally by performing a tracer gas analysis. In the presented study, a total of 15 preliminary tests are carried out in a climatic chamber representing a single room equipped with two push-pull devices. The tests include summer, winter and isothermal supply air conditions since this parameter variation is missing till now for push-pull devices. Further investigations are dedicated to the effect of thermal convection due to human heat dissipation on the room air flow. In dependence on these boundary conditions, the determined air exchange efficiency varies, lagging behind the expected range 0.5 < εa < 1 in almost all cases, indicating insufficient air exchange including short-circuiting. Local air exchange values suggest inhomogeneous air renewal depending on the distance to the indoor apertures as well as the temperature gradients between in- and outdoor. The tested measurement set-up is applicable for field measurements.
We present a 3D simulation approach utilising the diffuse interface representation of the phase-field method combined with a heat transfer equation to analyse the thermal conductivity in air-filled aluminium foams with complex cellular structures of different porosity. Algorithmic methods are introduced to create synthetic open-cell foam structures and to compute the thermal conductivity by means of phase-field modelling. A material law for the effective thermal conductivity is derived by determining the appropriate exponent depending on the relative density in the system. The results are compared with the thermal conductivity in massive aluminium and in pure air.
Bud type carbon nanohorns (CNHs) are composed of carbon and have a closed conical tip at one end protruding from an aggregate structure. By employing a simple oxidation process in CO2 atmosphere, it is possible to open the CNH tips which increases their specific surface area by four fold. These tip opened CNHs combine the microporous nature of activated carbons and the crystalline mesoporous character of carbon nanotubes. The results for the high pressure CO2 gas adsorption of tip opened CNHs are reported herein for the first time and are found to be superior to traditional CO2 adsorbents like zeolites. The modified CNHs are also found to be promising materials for lithium ion batteries and the performance is found to be on a par with carbon nanotubes and carbon nanofibers.
Gas adsorption studies of CO2 and N2 in spatially aligned double-walled carbon nanotube arrays
(2013)
Gas adsorption studies (CO2 and N2) over a wide pressure range on vertically, highly aligned dense double-walled carbon nanotube arrays of high purity and high specific surface area are reported. At high pressures, the adsorption capacity of these materials was found to be comparable to those of metal organic frameworks and mesoporous molecular sieves. These highly aligned CNT arrays were chemically modified by treating with oxygen plasma and structurally modified by decreasing the diameter of individual carbon nanotubes. Oxygen plasma treatment led to grafting of a large number of C–O functional groups onto the CNT surface, which further increased the gas adsorption capacity. It was found that gas adsorption is dependent on tube diameter and increases with decrease of the individual CNT diameter in the CNT bundles. As results of our studies we have found that at lower pressure regimes, plasma functionalized carbon nanotubes exhibit better adsorption characteristics whereas at higher pressures, lower diameter carbon nanotube structures exhibited better gas adsorption characteristics.
The suffix-free-prefix-free hash function construction and its indifferentiability security analysis
(2012)
In this paper, we observe that in the seminal work on indifferentiability analysis of iterated hash functions by Coron et al. and in subsequent works, the initial value (IV) of hash functions is fixed. In addition, these indifferentiability results do not depend on the Merkle–Damgård (MD) strengthening in the padding functionality of the hash functions. We propose a generic n-bit-iterated hash function framework based on an n-bit compression function called suffix-free-prefix-free (SFPF) that works for arbitrary IVs and does not possess MD strengthening. We formally prove that SFPF is indifferentiable from a random oracle (RO) when the compression function is viewed as a fixed input-length random oracle (FIL-RO). We show that some hash function constructions proposed in the literature fit in the SFPF framework while others that do not fit in this framework are not indifferentiable from a RO. We also show that the SFPF hash function framework with the provision of MD strengthening generalizes any n-bit-iterated hash function based on an n-bit compression function and with an n-bit chaining value that is proven indifferentiable from a RO.
Um Simulationen schnell und kostengünstig sowie ergebnisträchtig durchzuführen, bedarf es einer sorgfältigen Vorbereitung. Der Artikel befaßt sich mit dem automatischen Ablauf einer Simulationstudie zum Materilafluß und erläutert die im Ablauf notwendigen Beiträge der Anwender. In den Einzelheiten wird über die automatische Vorgehensweise und Anwendung der Standard-Simulationsmodelle (SSM) sowie spezieller Simulationsmodule (SimDBC) berichtet. Entscheidend für eine breitere Anwendung von Simulationswerkzeugen ist die einfache Handhabung und leicht verständliche Definition der zu untersuchenden Szenarien.
Since their dawning, space communications have been among the strongest driving applications for the development of error correcting codes. Indeed, space-to-Earth telemetry (TM) links have extensively exploited advanced coding schemes, from convolutional codes to Reed-Solomon codes (also in concatenated form) and, more recently, from turbo codes to low-density parity-check (LDPC) codes. The efficiency of these schemes has been extensively proved in several papers and reports. The situation is a bit different for Earth-to-space telecommand (TC) links. Space TCs must reliably convey control information as well as software patches from Earth control centers to scientific payload instruments and engineering equipment onboard (O/B) spacecraft. The success of a mission may be compromised because of an error corrupting a TC message: a detected error causing no execution or, even worse, an undetected error causing a wrong execution. This imposes strict constraints on the maximum acceptable detected and undetected error rates.
