The number of use cases for autonomous vehicles is increasing day by day especially in commercial applications. One important application of autonomous vehicles can be found within the parcel delivery section. Here, autonomous cars can massively help to reduce delivery efforts and time by supporting the courier actively. One important component of course is the autonomous vehicle itself. Nevertheless, beside the autonomous vehicle, a flexible and secure communication architecture also is a crucial key component impacting the overall performance of such system since it is required to allow continuous interactions between the vehicle and the other components of the system. The communication system must provide a reliable and secure architecture that is still flexible enough to remain practical and to address several use cases. In this paper, a robust communication architecture for such autonomous fleet-based systems is proposed. The architecture provides a reliable communication between different system entities while keeping those communications secure. The architecture uses different technologies such as Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE), cellular networks and Low Power Wide Area Network (LPWAN) to achieve its goals.

With the surge in global data consumption with proliferation of Internet of Things (IoT), remote monitoring and control is increasingly becoming popular with a wide range of applications from emergency response in remote regions to monitoring of environmental parameters. Mesh networks are being employed to alleviate a number of issues associated with single-hop communication such as low area coverage, reliability, range and high energy consumption. Low-power Wireless Personal Area Networks (LoWPANs) are being used to help realize and permeate the applicability of IoT. In this paper, we present the design and test of IEEE 802.15.4-compliant smart IoT nodes with multi-hop routing. We first discuss the features of the software stack and design choices in hardware that resulted in high RF output power and then present field test results of different baseline network topologies in both rural and urban settings to demonstrate the deployability and scalability of our solution.
A systematic toxicological analysis procedure using high-performance thin layer chromatography in combination with fibre optical scanning densitometry for identification of drugs in biological samples is presented. Two examples illustrate the practicability of the technique. First, the identification of a multiple intake of analgesics: codeine, propyphenazone, tramadol, flupirtine and lidocaine, and second, the detection of the sedative diphenhydramine. In both cases, authentic urine specimens were used. The identifications were carried out by an automatic measurement and computer-based comparison of in situ UV spectra with data from a compiled library of reference spectra using the cross-correlation function. The technique allowed a parallel recording of chromatograms and in situ UV spectra in the range of 197–612 nm. Unlike the conventional densitometry, a dependency of UV spectra by concentration of substance in a range of 250–1000 ng/spot was not observed.
Passive solar elements for both direct and indirect gains, are systems used to maintain a comfortable living environment while saving energy, especially in the building energy retrofit and adaptation process. Sunspaces, thermal mass and glazing area and orientation have been often used in the past to guarantee adequate indoor conditions when mechanical devices were not available. After a period of neglect, nowadays they are again considered as appropriate systems to help face environmental issues in the building sector, and both international and national legislation takes into consideration the possibility of including them in the building planning tools, also providing economic incentives. Their proper design needs dynamic simulation, often difficult to perform and time consuming. Moreover, results generally suffer from several uncertainties, so quasi steady-state procedures are often used in everyday practice with good results, but some corrections are still needed. In this paper, a comparative analysis of different solutions for the construction of verandas in an existing building is presented, following the procedure provided by the slightly modified and improved Standard EN ISO 13790:2008. Advantages and disadvantages of different configurations considering thermal insulation, windows typology and mechanical ventilation systems are discussed and a general intervention strategy is proposed. The aim is to highlight the possibility of using sunspaces in order to increase the efficiency of the existing building stock, considering ease of construction and economic viability.

The excessive control signaling in Long Term Evolution networks required for dynamic scheduling impedes the deployment of ultra-reliable low latency applications. Semi-persistent scheduling was originally designed for constant bit-rate voice applications, however, very low control overhead makes it a potential latency reduction technique in Long Term Evolution. In this paper, we investigate resource scheduling in narrowband fourth generation Long Term Evolution networks through Network Simulator (NS3) simulations. The current release of NS3 does not include a semi-persistent scheduler for Long Term Evolution module. Therefore, we developed the semi-persistent scheduling feature in NS3 to evaluate and compare the performance in terms of uplink latency. We evaluate dynamic scheduling and semi-persistent scheduling in order to analyze the impact of resource scheduling methods on up-link latency.
Vehicle-to-Everything (V2X) communication promises improvements in road safety and efficiency by enabling low-latency and reliable communication services for vehicles. Besides using Mobile Broadband (MBB), there is a need to develop Ultra Reliable Low Latency Communications (URLLC) applications with cellular networks especially when safety-related driving applications are concerned. Future cellular networks are expected to support novel latencysensitive use cases. Many applications of V2X communication, like collaborative autonomous driving requires very low latency and high reliability in order to support real-time communication between vehicles and other network elements. In this paper, we classify V2X use-cases and their requirements in order to identify cellular network technologies able to support them. The bottleneck problem of the medium access in 4G Long Term Evolution(LTE) networks is random access procedure. It is evaluated through simulations to further detail the future limitations and requirements. Limitations and improvement possibilities for next generation of cellular networks are finally detailed. Moreover, the results presented in this paper provide the limits of different parameter sets with regard to the requirements of V2X-based applications. In doing this, a starting point to migrate to Narrowband IoT (NB-IoT) or 5G - solutions is given.
The next generation cellular networks are expected to improve reliability, energy efficiency, data rate, capacity and latency. Originally, Machine Type Communication (MTC) was designed for low-bandwidth high-latency applications such as, environmental sensing, smart dustbin, etc., but there is additional demand around applications with low latency requirements, like industrial automation, driver-less cars, and so on. Improvements are required in 4G Long Term Evolution (LTE) networks towards the development of next generation cellular networks for providing very low latency and high reliability. To this end, we present an in-depth analysis of parameters that contribute to the latency in 4G networks along with a description of latency reduction techniques. We implement and validate these latency reduction techniques in the open-source network simulator (NS3) for narrowband user equipment category Cat-Ml (LTE-M) to analyze the improvements. The results presented are a step towards enabling narrowband Ultra Reliable Low Latency Communication (URLLC) networks.

Elektronische Türschilder zur Darstellung von Informationen sind insbesondere in öffentlichen Gebäuden zwischenzeitlich weit verbreitet. Die Varianz dieser elektronischen Türschilder reicht vom Tablet-basierten Türschild bis hin zum PC-basierten Türschild mit externem Bildschirm. Zumeist werden die Systeme mit 230 V betrieben. Bei einer großen Summe von Türschildern in öffentlichen Gebäuden kann dies zu einem signifikanten Umsatz an Energie führen. Im Rahmen dieses Papers wird die Entwicklung eines energieautarken arbeiten Türschildes vorgestellt, bei dem ein E-Paper-Display zum Einsatz kommt. Das Türschild lässt sich per Smartphone-App und NFC-Schnittstelle konfigurieren. Es wird insbesondere auf das Low-Power-Hardware-Design der Elektronik und energetische Aspekte eingegangen.
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.
