The Internet of Things (IoT), ubiquitous computing and ubiquitous connectivity, Cyber Physical Systems (CPS), ambient intelligence, Machine-to-Machine communication (M2M) or Car-to-Car (C2C)-communication, smart metering, smart grid, telematics, telecare, telehealth – there are many buzzwords around current developments related to the Internet.
This contribution gives an overview on such IoT-applications, as they are already used today to improve the availability of information, increase efficiency, push system limits and extend the value chain. At a closer look, the economic and technical development can be separated into different phases. It is interesting that we are currently at the threshold to a new phase, with decentralized and cooperative communication and control nodes as cornerstones. Thus, embedded systems and their connectivity are in the middle of the scene.
This recent development is described along with some example projects from the author’s team which are used in industrial automation, energy supply and distribution (home automation and smart metering), traffic engineering (cooperative driver assistance systems), and in telehealth and telecare.
The services sector is also called “tertiary sector” and has become increasingly important in the last few decades. The process of this occurring structural change is characterized by a significant increase in employment in the services sector. On the other hand, the former economic importance in traditional areas, such as agriculture and forestry, as well as manufacturing, is declining.
To have an overview it is important to look and to analyse the different research studies.

Weg- und Winkelsensoren
(2014)
Weg- und Winkelaufnehmer werden überall dort benötigt wo veränderliche Positionen, (Abstände, Längen oder Winkel) erfasst werden müssen, um entweder als reiner Messwert ausgegeben zu werden oder in einem Regelkreis zumeist die Regelgröße als Messwert zur Verfügung zu stellen. Grundsätzlich unterscheidet man zwischen berührenden (tastenden) und berührungslosen Aufnehmern. Zu den berührenden Sensoren zählen dabei alle Aufnehmer, die ein spezielles Messobjekt als Weg- oder Winkelvermittler benötigen, das während der Messung fest mit dem eigentlichen Messobjekt verbunden ist. Diese Bezeichnung gilt auch dann, wenn die eigentliche Messung gegen das vermittelnde Objekt im Endeffekt berührungslos erfolgt. Berührungslose Weg- und Winkelaufnehmer können ohne einen solchen Vermittler direkt gegen das zu vermessende Objekt messen.
HiSiMo cast irons are frequently used as material for high temperature components in engines as e.g. exhaust manifolds and turbo chargers. These components must withstand severe cyclic mechanical and thermal loads throughout their life cycle. The combination of thermal transients with mechanical load cycles results in a complex evolution of damage, leading to thermomechanical fatigue (TMF) of the material and, after a certain number of loading cycles, to failure of the component. In Part I of the paper, a fracture mechanics model for TMF life prediction was developed based on results of uniaxial tests. In this paper (Part II), the model is formulated for three-dimensional stress states, so that it can be applied in a post-processing step of a finite-element analysis. To obtain reliable stresses and (time dependent plastic) strains in the finite-element calculation, a time and temperature dependent plasticity model is applied which takes non-linear kinematic hardening into account. The material properties of the model are identified from the results of the uniaxial test. The plasticity model and the TMF life model are applied to assess the lifetime of an exhaust manifold.

Auch Frameworks werden immer populärer und stellen Funktionen und Klassen zur Verfügung, um den Programmierern das Leben einfacher zu machen. Egal ob PHP, JavaScript oder CSS.
Am Puls der Zeit spiegelt meine Bachelor-Thesis diesen Ansatz unter Verwendung aktueller Frameworks im Detail wider und stellt, anhand eines praktischen Beispiels, einen Leitfaden für viele Programmierer dar.
Energy management in distribution grids is one of the key challenges that needs to be overcome to increase the share of fluctuating renewable energies. Current control systems for energy management mainly demonstrate centralized- or decentralized-hierarchical control structures. Very few systems manifest a fully decentralized multiagent-based control structure. Multiagent-based control systems promise to be an advantageous approach for the future distributed energy supply system because no central control entity is necessary, which eases parameterization in case of grid topology changes, and the agents are more stable against failures and changes of control topologies. Research is necessary to prove these benefits. In this study, we introduce a design of a multiagent-based voltage control system for low-voltage grids. In detail we introduce cooperative decision-making processes and software solutions that allow the agents to perceive and control their environment, the agent-discovery and localization in different types of communication networks, agent-to-agent communication, and the integration of the multiagent system in existing grid-control infrastructures. Furthermore, the study proposes how different existing technologies can be combined into an applicable multiagent-based voltage control system: the Java/OSGi-based OpenMUC framework allows a generic field–device interaction; peer-to-peer discovery and session establishment functionalities are combined with the agent communication defined by the Foundation for Intelligent Physical Agents (FIPA). The ripple control-signal technology is applied as a fallback communication between the agent and a central grid-control center.
Turbinen aus der Tragetasche
(2014)
Am Karlsruher Institut für Technologie wurde der Prototyp eines Kleinwindkraftwerks zur autarken Stromversorgung entwickelt. Das "Energypack" genannte System besteht aus einem 1,10 m langen PVC-Gehäuse mit dreieckigem Querschnitt, Generator, Seilen sowie Funkgerät und kostet ab 50 Euro. Mit dem Energypack kann ein Dynamo mit 2,5 W angetrieben werden. An der Dualen Hochschule BW Heidenheim wurde das System "Anemotec" entworfen, das anstelle von Windflügeln über ein schraubenähnliches Gewinde verfügt. Der Rotor und die Windführung bestehen aus glasfaserverstärkten Werkstoffen. Die erzeugte Leistung liegt bei 365 W, die Stromgestehungskosten liegen bei 23 Cent pro kWh. Die von der Hochschule Offenburg entwickelte Windturbine "Windzip" arbeitet mit einem H-Rotor und besteht aus neun leicht gekrümmten Blechen, die wie Planeten in unterschiedlichem Abstand und in unterschiedlicher Höhe um einen vertikalen Stab kreisen. Bei einer Windgeschwindigkeit von 10 Meter pro Sekunde wurde damit eine Leistung von 40 W erzeugt.
Oft anfallende Prozesse und Aufgaben im IT-Umfeld kosten viel Zeit und personelle Ressourcen. Zudem können bei einer manuellen Ausführung dieser Aufgaben Fehler entstehen. Die Effizienz und die Wettbewerbsfähigkeit derer Unternehmen sinkt, die diese Aufgaben nicht unter Kontrolle haben. Ziel ist es wiederkehrende Aufgaben mit wenig Aufwand zu automatisieren und so das Fehlerpotential zu vermindern.
Eine besondere Herausforderung ergibt sich hierbei in der Aggregation der diversen verteilten Konten, wie Mitarbeiterlaptop, Server und online genutzte Dienste.
In dieser Arbeit sollen zunächst Anforderungen an die zu entwickelnde Lösung festgelegt werden. Die erarbeiteten Anforderungen sollen anschließend den vorhandenen Lösungen gegenübergestellt werden, um diese bewerten zu können. Anschließend erfolgt die Implementierung einer neuen oder Anpassung und Erweiterung einer vorhandenen Lösung.
Informationsvisualisierung im Kundenbeziehungsmanagement am Beispiel eines interaktiven Streamgraphs
(2014)
In dieser Arbeit wird der Streamgraph als Methode der Informationsvisualisierung im Kontext des Kundenbeziehungsmanagements vorgestellt. Neben der Auseinandersetzung mit den theoretischen Grundlagen dieser Themenbereiche wird die Eignung des Streamgraphs als Form der Visualisierung überprüft. Hierfür wird ein CRM-spezifischer Anwendungsfall erarbeitet und in einer webbasierten Applikation prototypisch realisiert. In diesem Zusammenhang werden Anforderungen in Bezug zu Interaktivität und Funktionalität aufgestellt und im Prototypen implementiert. Die Anforderungen an die Interaktivität orientieren sich hierbei an dem von Ben Shneiderman aufgestellten Mantra der visuellen Datenexploration.
In der abschließenden Auswertung wird eine bedingte Eignung für den Einsatz des Streamgraphs als effiziente Visualisierungsform im unternehmerischen Kontext festgestellt. Im Hinblick auf den Anwendungsfall erfüllt dieser zwar alle an ihn gestellten Anforderungen, die korrekte Lesbarkeit der Daten ist aufgrund seiner Form jedoch nicht gewährleistet.
A laser-operated, angle-tunable transducer was employed to excite selectively elastic waves guided along the apex of a solid wedge. The propagation of wedge waves at anisotropic monocrystalline silicon edges with different symmetry properties was studied by optical detection. The reduced symmetry in crystals, as compared to isotropic media, causes a number of new features, such as the existence of supersonic leaky wedge waves, tilted spatial pulse profiles, and other peculiarities of their localization. Experimental and theoretical results are presented for three different types of symmetry configurations: the wedge symmetric about its midplane, the wedge symmetric about the plane normal to its apex line, and the wedge symmetric about one of its faces. The experiments include accurate measurements of the phase velocity and the wave field distribution, providing information on localization and coupling of wedge waves with other waves. Theoretically, the wedge waves were treated by the Laguerre function method, extended to modes that are not localized at the tip of the wedge. This approach allowed an accurate description of the observed localized and leaky wedge waves in anisotropic wedges.
Hybrid SPECT/US
(2014)
This paper presents new measurements of a bronze cast from the right hand of the famous Italian violin virtuoso Nicolò Paganini (1782-1840). These are compared to anthropometric standard values. In addition, detailed dorsal and palmar views of the cast are shown. With a middle finger length of 75 mm, the palm width is 60 mm and the hand length 152 mm, which is significantly below the 5% percentile of today's standard values. Also the finger length index (0.55), the ratio of finger length to palm length (0.98) and the ratio of finger length to palm width (1.25) are significantly above normal limits. Hence, Paganini had abnormal hand measurements with a very small palm and relatively "long" fingers. This remarkable constellation, among others, could have been advantageous for his amazing skills as a violinist.
Monitoring of the molecular structure of lubricant oil using a FT-Raman spectrometer prototype
(2014)
The determination of the physical state of the lubricant materials in complex mechanical systems is highly critical from different points of view: operative, economical, environmental, etc. Furthermore, there are several parameters that a lubricant oil must meet for a proper performance inside a machine. The monitoring of these lubricants can represent a serious issue depending on the analytical approach applied. The molecular change of aging lubricant oils have been analyzed using an all-standard-components and self-designed FT-Raman spectrometer. This analytical tool allows the direct and clean study of the vibrational changes in the molecular structure of the oils without having direct contact with the samples and without extracting the sample from the machine in operation. The FT-Raman spectrometer prototype used in the analysis of the oil samples consist of a Michelson interferometer and a self-designed photon counter cooled down on a Peltier element arrangement. The light coupling has been accomplished by using a conventional 62.5/125μm multi-mode fiber coupler. The FT-Raman arrangement has been able to extract high resolution and frequency precise Raman spectra, comparable to those obtained with commercial FT-Raman systems, from the lubricant oil samples analyzed. The spectral information has helped to determine certain molecular changes in the initial phases of wearing of the oil samples. The proposed instrument prototype has no additional complex hardware components or costly software modules. The mechanical and thermal irregularities influencing the FT-Raman spectrometer have been removed mathematically by accurately evaluating the optical path difference of the Michelson interferometer. This has been achieved by producing an additional interference pattern signal with a λ= 632.8 nm helium-neon laser, which differs from the conventional zero-crossing sampling (also known as Connes advantage) commonly used by FT-devices. It enables the FT-Raman system to perform reliable and clean spectral measurements from the analyzed oil samples.
Packed beds serve as thermal energy storages (TES) and heat exchangers (HEX) in different technological applications. In this paper, a general heterogeneous model of heat transfer in packed beds is developed. It is implemented by lumped element formulation in object-oriented modeling language Modelica and is successful validated with data sets taken from two different experiments reported in literature.
The main advantages of the introduced model are the general, theory-based approach and the lumped element formulation in Modelica. The first point mentioned above should allow to simulate a packed bed TES/HEX without the necessity applying measured data for model calibration or to apply specific heat transfer correlations with restricted application. The second point establishes the possibility to integrate the TES/HEX model within plant models of larger scale without increasing the simulation time drastically.

On the possibility to use leaky feeders for positioning in chirp spread spectrum technologies
(2014)
Real Time Localization Systems using electromagnetic waves have significantly evolved during the last years. They also might be used in industrial and in mining environments. Here, topologies might include tunnels, where it might be difficult to ensure the field coverage. Leaky feeder cables are a common solution in case of normal radio communication. In this paper, we study the possibilities to use leaky feeders also for Time-of-Flight based real time localization in such linear topologies, like tunnels, but possibly also for 2D-localization. Theoretical analysis is verified with real-life measurements, which were performed using Chirp Spread Spectrum Technologies.
We present a two dimensional (2D) planar chromatographic separation of estrogenic active compounds on RP-18 (Merck, 1.05559) and silica gel (Merck, 1.05721) phase. A mixture of 13 substances was separated using a solvent mix consisting of methanol–acetonitrile–water (2 + 2 + 1, v/v/v) on RP-18 phase in the first direction and cyclohexane–butylacetate–methanol (8 + 6 + 1, v/v/v) in the second direction on silica gel plate. Both developments were carried out over a distance of 70 mm. We used the grafted method to combine both plates in a 2D-separation. This 2D-separation method can be used to quantify 17α-ethinylestradiol (EE2) in an effect-directed analysis using the yeast strain Saccharomyces cerevisiae BJ3505. The test strain (according to McDonnell) contains the estrogen receptor. Its activation by estrogen active compounds is measured by inducting the reporter gene lacZ that encodes the enzyme ß-galactosidase. This enzyme activity is determined on plate by using the fluorescent substrate MUG (4-methylumbelliferyl ß-D-galactopyranoside).
We tested the MOF framework Cu-BTC for natural gas (NG) storage. Adsorption isotherms of C1–C4 alkanes were simulated applying the Grand Canonical ensemble and the Monte Carlo algorithm in a classical molecular mechanics approach. Experimental monocomponent isotherm of the alkanes was used to validate the force field. We performed multicomponent adsorptions calculations for three different quaternary mixtures of C1–C4 alkanes, matching typical NG streams composition, and predicted theoretical storage capacities, efficiency and accumulation of the NG within that composition. Despite being one of the frameworks with greatest storage capacity of methane, we found that Cu-BTC presented great sensitivity to the variation of the heavier alkanes in NG composition. When we increase the percentage of butane from 0.1% to 0.7% in the mixture, the mass of components retained in the discharge pressure (1 bar) increases from 35 to 60%. We also perform siting and interaction energy investigations and compare the NG storage performance of the Cu-BTC with that of activated carbons. To our knowledge, this is the first study regarding the efficiency of the NG storage in Cu-BTC.

The observations are compared with the predictions of a lifetime model for combined thermo-mechanical (TMF) and high cycle fatigue (HCF) loading, which is based on a fracture mechanics analysis of microcrack growth in viscoplastic solids and assumes that the crack advance per cycle is proportional to the cyclic crack tip opening displacement. Since the material of the cylinder heads, the cast iron EN-GJV450, exhibits the typical features of cast iron, namely pressure dependence of the yield stress, dilatancy and tension-compression asymmetry, the Gurson model is applied and combined with the viscoplastic Chaboche model. This constitutive model together with the lifetime model is implemented into a finite element code as a user defined material routine. Published model parameters for the considered cast iron are used to carry out the simulation of the engine test. This simulation comprises a CFD analysis to determine the heat transfer coefficients, a thermal analysis of the load cycle and the mechanical analysis. The thermal analysis reproduces the temperatures at various measuring points sufficiently accurately. Finally, the mechanical analysis predicts the location and orientation of the cracks in the valve bridges correctly in all cases. However, the lifetime predictions are rather conservative compared to the tests (by a factor of 1 to 5 in lifetime). This is discussed and explained by the fact that the cracks were detected in the tests only when they had already spread over a substantial fraction of the valve bridge width. To describe this situation a long-crack analysis would be necessary, which is not yet included in the applied lifetime model.
Non-responder rate in cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) could be partly decreased by individualized parameter optimization excluding adverse hemodynamic timing. In heart failure patients with sinus rhythm, an atrial kick enables the completion of atrial contraction and may significantly enhance the ventricular filling. Compared to that, exclusion of atrial kick is a sign of suboptimal atrioventricular timing. However, the recognition of atrial kick by echocardiography will be negatively affected in patients requiring a very short or long AV delays.
Recently a P-matrix and COM formalism was presented, which predicts third order intermodulation (IMD3) and triple beat with good accuracy and needs only a single nonlinearity constant. This formalism describes frequency dependence correctly. In this work the dependence of this nonlinearity constant on metalization ratio is investigated for aluminum metalization on LiTaO 3 (YXl)/42°. By comparison to test devices the nonlinearity constant is shown to be largely independent of metalization ratio. The nonlinear effect, however, strongly depends on metalization ratio, which is well described by the model. The linearity of a duplexer is optimized by reduction of metalization ratio and redesign of Tx branch topology.
In this work a set of nonlinear coupled COM equations at interacting frequencies is derived on the basis of nonlinear electro-elasticity. The formalism is presented with the aim of describing intermodulation distortion of third-order (IMD3) and triple beat. The resulting COM equations are translated to the P-matrix formalism, where care is taken to obtain the correct frequency dependence. The scheme depends on two frequency-independent constants for an effective third-order nonlinearity. One of these two constants is negligibly small in the systems considered here. The P-matrix approach is applied to single filters and duplexers on LiTaO 3 (YXl)/42° operating in different frequency ranges. Both IMD3 and triple beat show good agreement with measurement.
Todays‘ traffic support environments are distributed by nature. In many cases the monitoring, control and guidance of traffic is effected by a federation of coordinating centers, often managed by different organizations, using differing local IT technology and system architecture. Despite the federative character of such systems, maintenance of a consistent overall traffic state is indispensable for a safe operation. This project develops a new type of middleware supporting federative systems
in the domain of Air Traffic Control (ATC), using OMG‘s DDS (Data Distribution Service) standard as contributor.
Air traffic is by nature crossing borders and organizations. The supporting infrastructure represents a federative distributed system of independent Air Traffic Service Units, typically each with its own proprietary system architecture. Interaction between the centers is taking place over dedicated protocols, often organized as a mesh of 1:1 bilateral data exchanges.
This contribution gives an overview of the ongoing efforts to standardize this data exchange. At the core is a data-centric view, using a shared virtual Flight Object as the IT counterpart of a real flight. It permits a uniform way to access and update a flight’s static and dynamic attributes. A middleware is presented that implements this abstraction and maps it onto a physical level, employing DDS (Data Distribution Service) technology for the 1:N dissemination of flight data.
Data is ever increasing in the computing world. Due to advancement of cloud technology the dynamics of volumes of data and its capacity has increased within a short period of time and will keep increasing further. Providing transparency, privacy, and security to the cloud users is becoming more and more challenging along with the volume of data and use of cloud services. We propose a new approach to address the above mentioned challenge by recording the user events in the cloud ecosystem into log files and applying MAR principle namely 1) Monitoring 2) Analyzing and 3) Reporting.
Logging information is more precious as it contains the execution of a system; it is produced by millions of events from simple application logins to random system errors. Most of the security related problems in the cloud ecosystem like intruder attacks, data loss, and denial of service, etc. could be avoided if Cloud Service Provider (CSP) or Cloud User (CU) analyses the logging information. In this paper we introduced few challenges, which are place of monitoring, security, and ownership of the logging information between CSP and CU.
Also we proposed a logging architecture to analyze the behaviour of the cloud ecosystem, to avoid data breaches and other security related issues at the CSP space. So that we believe our proposed architecture can provide maximum trust between CU and CSP.
This paper presents the competence-, business- and research-orientated education approach Fit4PracSis (= Fit for Practice and Sciences). Fit4PracSis is designed for freshman students in interdisciplinary engineering degree programs. It is an education concept, which is establishing a relationship to the future profession and scientific work during the introductory study phase. The freshman students will be early trained in important skills, which are necessary for the successful achievement of the final degree and the future business and research activities.
