Im vorliegenden Beitrag wird beschrieben, wie bereits entworfene Zustandsregler für proportional geregelte Systeme ohne Rechentotzeit auf einfache Art und Weise für Systeme mit Reglerintegratoren bzw. mit Rechentotzeit erweitert werden können. Das Ziel ist hierbei, den Aufwand zur Ermittlung der Reglermatrix zu reduzieren. Hierbei soll die bereits vorhandene, optimierte Regelkreisdynamik so wenig wie möglich verändert werden, wodurch bei Mehrgrößensystemen hinzukommende Freiheitsgrade sinnvoll festgelegt werden. Die Betrachtungen erfolgen für lineare zeitdiskrete Systeme und werden anhand eines Beispiels aus der elektrischen Antriebstechnik veranschaulicht.
The interaural time difference (ITD) is an important cue for the localization of sounds. ITD changes as little as 10 μs can be detected by the human auditory system. By provision of one ear with a cochlear implant (CI) ITD are altered due to the partial replacement of the peripheral auditory system. A hearing aid (HA), in contrast, does not replace but adds a processing delay component to the peripheral auditory system extending ITD. The aim of the present study was to quantify interaural stimulation timing between these different modalities to estimate the need for central auditory temporal compensation in single sided deaf CI users or bimodal CI/HA users. For this purpose, wave V latencies of auditory brainstem responses evoked either acoustically (ABR) or electrically via the CI (EABR) have been measured. The sum of delays consisting of CI signal processing measured in the MED-EL OPUS2 audio processor and EABR wave V latencies evoked on different intracochlear sites allowed an estimation of the entire CI channel-specific delay for MED-EL MAESTRO CI systems. We compared these values with ABR wave V latencies measured in the contralateral normal hearing or HA provided ear in different frequency bands. The results showed that EABR wave V latencies were consistently shorter than those evoked acoustically in the unaided normal hearing ear. Thus, artificial delays within the audio processor can be implemented to adjust interaural stimulation timing. The currently implemented group delays in the MED-EL CI system turned out to be reasonably similar to those of the unaided ear. For adjustment of CI and contralateral HA, in contrast, an adjustable additional across-frequency delay in the range of 1–11 ms implemented in the CI would be required. Especially for bimodal CI/HA users the adjustment of interaural stimulation timing may induce improved binaural hearing, reduced need for central auditory temporal compensation and increased acceptance of the CI/HA provision.
Im Rahmen der Cochleaimplantat (CI)-Versorgung werden sowohl intraoperativ als auch postoperativ verschiedene elektrische und elektrophysiologische Diagnostikverfahren eingesetzt, bei denen elektrische Messgrößen vom CI erfasst und elektrophysiologische Messungen bei CI-Patienten durchgeführt werden. Zu den elektrophysiologischen Diagnostikverfahren zählen die Messung der elektrisch evozierten Summenaktionspotenziale des Hörnervs, die Registrierung der elektrisch evozierten auditorischen Hirnstammpotenziale und die Erfassung der elektrisch evozierten auditorischen kortikalen Potenziale. Diese Potenziale widerspiegeln die Erregung des Hörnervs und die Reizverarbeitung in verschiedenen Stationen der aufsteigenden Hörbahn bei intracochleärer elektrischer Stimulation mittels eines CI. Bei den aktuellen CI sind die Beurteilung der Elektrodenlage sowie die Prüfung der Ankopplung des Implantats an den Hörnerv wichtige Anwendungsgebiete der elektrophysiologischen Diagnostikverfahren. Ein weiteres bedeutendes Einsatzfeld stellt die Prüfung der Reizverarbeitung in der Hörbahn dar. Das Hauptanwendungsgebiet dieser Verfahren bildet jedoch die Unterstützung der Anpassung der CI-Sprachprozessoren bei Säuglingen und Kleinkindern auf der Basis elektrophysiologischer Schwellen.
Background: R-wave synchronised atrial pacing is an effective temporary pacing
therapy in infants with postoperative junctional ectopic tachycardia. In the technique
currently used, adverse short or long intervals between atrial pacing and ventricular
sensing (AP–VS) may be observed during routine clinical practice.
Objectives: The aim of the study was to analyse outcomes of R-wave synchronised
atrial pacing and the relationship between maximum tracking rates and AP–VS
intervals.
Methods: Calculated AP–VS intervals were compared with those predicted by experienced
pediatric cardiologist.
Results: A maximum tracking rate (MTR) set 10 bpm higher than the heart rate (HR)
may result in undesirable short AP–VS intervals (minimum 83 ms). A MTR set 20 bpm
above the HR is the hemodynamically better choice (minimum 96 ms). Effects of either
setting on the AP–VS interval could not be predicted by experienced observers. In our
newly proposed technique the AP–VS interval approaches 95 ms for HR > 210 bpm
and 130 ms for HR < 130 bpm. The progression is linear and decreases strictly
(− 0.4 ms/bpm) between the two extreme levels.
Conclusions: Adjusting the AP–VS interval in the currently used technique is complex
and may imply unfavorable pacemaker settings. A new pacemaker design is advisable
to allow direct control of the AP–VS interval.

The existence of acoustic waves with displacements localized at the tip of an isotropic elastic wedge was rigorously proven by Kamotskii, Zavorokhin and Nazarov. This proof, which is based on a variational approach, is extended to rectangular anisotropic wedges. For two high-symmetry configurations of rectangular edges in elastic media with tetragonal symmetry, a criterion is derived that allows identifying the boundary between the regions of existence for wedge modes of even and odd symmetry in regions of parameter space, where even- and odd-symmetry modes do not exist simultaneously. Furthermore, rectangular edges with non-equivalent surfaces are analyzed, and it is shown that at rectangular edges of cubic elastic media with one (110) surface and one (001) surface, a tip-localized guided wave always exists, apart from special cases that are characterized.
Laser pulses focused near the tip of an elastic wedge generate acoustic waves guided at its apex. The shapes of the acoustic wedge wave pulses depend on the energy and the profile of the exciting laser pulse and on the anisotropy of the elastic medium the wedge is made of. Expressions for the acoustic pulse shapes have been derived in terms of the modal displacement fields of wedge waves for laser excitation in the thermo-elastic regime and for excitation via a pressure pulse exerted on the surface. The physical quantity considered is the local inclination of a surface of the wedge, which is measured optically by laser-probe-beam deflection. Experimental results on pulse shapes in the thermo-elastic regime are presented and confirmed by numerical calculations. They pertain to an isotropic sharp-angle wedge with two wedge-wave branches and to a non-reciprocity phenomenon at rectangular silicon edges.
This paper focuses on the microstructure-dependent inelastic behavior of lamellar gray cast iron. It comprises the reconstruction of three dimensional volume elements by use of the serial sectioning method for the materials GJL-150, GJL-250 and GJL-350. The obtained volume elements are prepared for the numerical analyses by means of finite-element method. In the finite-element analysis, the metallic matrix is modeled with an elastic–plastic deformation law. The graphite inclusions are modeled nonlinear elastic with a decreasing value of Young’s modulus for increasing tensile loading. Thus, the typical tension–compression asymmetry of this material class can be described. The stress–strain curves obtained with the microstructure-based finite-element models agree well with experimental curves of tension and compression tests. Besides the analysis of the whole volume element, the scatter of the stress–strain response in smaller statistical volume elements is investigated. Furthermore, numerical studies are performed to reduce computational costs.
Two closely related series of paddle-wheel-based triazolyl isophthalate MOFs are presented. Thermal and CO2 adsorption studies reveal network flexibility induced by alkyl substituents of the linker. By choice of the substituent, the pore volumes and pore diameters can be adjusted. Fine-tuning of the gate opening pressure and the hysteresis shape is possible by modulating the substitution pattern and by choice of the metal ion.
