In automotive parking scenario, where the curb shall be detected and classified to be traversable or not, radars play an important role. There are different approaches already proposed in other works to estimate the target height. This paper assesses and compares two methods. The first is based on Angle of Arrival (AoA) estimation of input signals of multiple antennas using the Multiple-Input-Multiple-Output (MIMO) principle. The second method uses the geometry in multipath propagation of the radar echo signal for one antenna input. In this work a modified method of calculation of the curb height based on the second method is proposed. The theory of approach is mathematically proved and effectiveness is demonstrated by evaluation of measurements with a 77 GHz Frequency Modulated Continuous Wave (FMCW) radar. In order to evaluate the performance of the introduced method the mean square error (MSE) is used in the proposed scenario. This method, using only one antenna input, produced up to 3.4 times better results for curb height detection in comparison with former methods.

Das plötzliche Ende des romantischen Komponisten Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy (1809–1847) gibt uns auch heute noch Rätsel auf. Einiges deutet auf ein rupturiertes zerebrales Aneurysma mit konsekutiver Subarachnoidalblutung hin. Das Quellenmaterial zu den Symptomen seiner Todeskrankheit wird in dieser Arbeit ausführlich vorgestellt und diskutiert. Eine mögliche familiäre Disposition im Sinne eines Ehlers-Danlos-Syndroms Typ IV wird erörtert.
This book, now in its third, completely revised and updated edition, offers a critical approach to the challenging interpretation of the latest research data obtained using functional neuroimaging in whiplash injury. Such a comprehensive guide to recent and current international research in the field is more necessary than ever, given that the confusion regarding the condition and the medicolegal discussions surrounding it have increased further despite the publication of much literature on the subject. In recent decades especially the functional imaging methods – such as single-photon emission tomography, positron emission tomography, functional MRI, and hybrid techniques – have demonstrated a variety of significant brain alterations. Functional Neuroimaging in Whiplash Injury - New Approaches covers all aspects, including the imaging tools themselves and the various methods of image analysis. Details on biomechanics, including the finite element method and facts on historical whiplash experiments and crash tests have now been added to this new edition. The book will continue to help physicians, patients and their relatives and friends, and others to understand this condition as a disease.
Subspace clustering aims to find all clusters in all subspaces of a high-dimensional data space. We present a massively data-parallel approach that can be run on graphics processing units. It extends a previous density-based method that scales well with the number of dimensions. Its main computational bottleneck consists of (sequentially) generating a large number of minimal cluster candidates in each dimension and using hash collisions in order to find matches of such candidates across multiple dimensions. Our approach parallelizes this process by removing previous interdependencies between consecutive steps in the sequential generation process and by applying a very efficient parallel hashing scheme optimized for GPUs. This massive parallelization gives up to 70x speedup for
the bottleneck computation when it is replaced by our approach and run on current GPU hardware. We note that depending on data size and choice of parameters, the parallelized part of the algorithm can take different percentages of the overall runtime of the clustering process, and thus, the overall clustering speedup may vary significantly between different cases. However, even
in our ”worst-case” test, a small dataset where the computation makes up only a small fraction of the overall clustering time, our parallel approach still yields a speedup of more than 3x for the complete run of the clustering process. Our method could also be combined with parallelization of other parts of the clustering algorithm, with an even higher potential gain in processing speed.
Das hier vorgestellte System verbindet das neue Konzept der Peer-to-Peer-Navigation mit dem Einsatz von Augmented Reality zur Unterstützung von bettseitig durchgeführten externen Ventrikeldrainagen. Das sehr kompakte und genaue Gesamtsystem beinhaltet einen Patiententracker mit integrierter Kamera, eine Augmented-Reality-Brille mit Kamera und eine Punktionsnadel bzw. einen Pointer mit zwei Trackern, mit dessen Hilfe die Anatomie des Patienten aufgenommen wird. Die exakte Position und Richtung der Punktionsnadel wird unter Zuhilfenahme der aufgenommenen Landmarken berechnet und über die Augmented-Reality-Brille für den Chirurgen sichtbar auf dem Patienten dargestellt. Die Methode zur Kalibrierung der statischen Transformationen zwischen Patiententracker und daran befestigter Kamera beziehungsweise zwischen den Trackern der Punktionsnadel sind für die Genauigkeit sehr wichtig und werden hier vorgestellt. Das Gesamtsystem konnte in vitro erfolgreich getestet werden und bestätigt den Nutzen eines Peer-to-Peer-Navigationssystems.
Wireless sensor networks have found their way into a wide range of applications, among which environmental monitoring systems have attracted increasing interests of researchers. Main challenges for these applications are scalability of the network size and energy efficiency of the spatially distributed nodes. Nodes are mostly battery-powered and spend most of their energy budget on the radio transceiver module. In normal operation modes most energy is spent waiting for incoming frames. A so-called Wake-On-Radio (WOR) technology helps to optimize trade-offs between energy consumption, communication range, complexity of the implementation and response time. We already proposed a new protocol called SmartMAC that makes use of such WOR technology. Furthermore, it gives the possibility to balance the energy consumption between sender and receiver nodes depending on the use case. Based on several calculations and simulations, it was predicted that the SmartMAC protocol was significantly more efficient than other schemes being proposed in recent publications, while preserving a certain backward compatibility with standard IEEE802.15.4 transceivers. To verify this prediction, we implemented the SmartMAC protocol for a given hardware platform. This paper compares the realtime performance of the SmartMAC protocol against simulation results, and proves the measured values are very close to the estimated values. Thus we believe that the proposed MAC algorithms outperforms all other Wake-on-Radio MACs.
Physically Unclonable Functions (PUFs) are hardware-based security primitives, which allow for inherent device fingerprinting. Therefore, intrinsic variation of imperfect manufactured systems is exploited to generate device-specific, unique identifiers. With printed electronics (PE) joining the internet of things (IoT), hardware-based security for novel PE-based systems is of increasing importance. Furthermore, PE offers the possibility for split-manufacturing, which mitigates the risk of PUF response readout by third parties, before commissioning. In this paper, we investigate a printed PUF core as intrinsic variation source for the generation of unique identifiers from a crossbar architecture. The printed crossbar PUF is verified by simulation of a 8×8-cells crossbar, which can be utilized to generate 32-bit wide identifiers. Further focus is on limiting factors regarding printed devices, such as increased parasitics, due to novel materials and required control logic specifications. The simulation results highlight, that the printed crossbar PUF is capable to generate close-to-ideal unique identifiers at the investigated feature size. As proof of concept a 2×2-cells printed crossbar PUF core is fabricated and electrically characterized.
Printed electronics (PE) offers flexible, extremely low-cost, and on-demand hardware due to its additive manufacturing process, enabling emerging ultra-low-cost applications, including machine learning applications. However, large feature sizes in PE limit the complexity of a machine learning classifier (e.g., a neural network (NN)) in PE. Stochastic computing Neural Networks (SC-NNs) can reduce area in silicon technologies, but still require complex designs due to unique implementation tradeoffs in PE. In this paper, we propose a printed mixed-signal system, which substitutes complex and power-hungry conventional stochastic computing (SC) components by printed analog designs. The printed mixed-signal SC consumes only 35% of power consumption and requires only 25% of area compared to a conventional 4-bit NN implementation. We also show that the proposed mixed-signal SC-NN provides good accuracy for popular neural network classification problems. We consider this work as an important step towards the realization of printed SC-NN hardware for near-sensor-processing.
