Projektmanagement entwickelt sich kontinuierlich, auch in qualitativen Sprüngen und Zyklen. Planungsiterationen aus der Agilität und die coronabedingte Digitalisierung der Kommunikation sind nicht die einzigen aktuellen Entwicklungen. Nicht einmal die Wichtigsten. Es wird ein Überblick vermittelt, der nicht nur verstehen, sondern gestalten hilft.

VR-based implementation of interactive laboratory experiments in optics and photonics education
(2022)
Within the framework of a developed blended learning concept, a lot of experience has already been gained with a mixture of theoretical lectures and hands-on activities, combined with the advantages of modern digital media. Here, visualizations using videos, animations and augmented reality have proven to be effective tools to convey learning content in a sustainable way. In the next step, ideas and concepts were developed to implement hands-on laboratory experiments in a virtual environment. The main focus is on the realization of virtual experiments and environments that give the students a deep insight into selected subfields of optics and photonics.
Konstrukteure im Maschinenbau stehen häufig vor der Problemstellung, hochfest vorgespannte Schraubenverbindungen und einen durchgehenden Korrosionsschutz zu vereinen. Die einschlägigen Normen und Richtlinien bieten hierzu Stand heute keine ausreichende Hilfestellung. In diesem Beitrag werden an Versuchsblechen ermittelte Setzbeträge von maschinenbautypischen organischen Beschichtungssystemen unter Variation der Belastungshöhe und der Umgebungstemperatur präsentiert und mit in Bauteilversuchen gemessenen Vorspannkraftverlusten vergleichend bewertet.
Additive manufacturing offers completely new production technologies thanks to the layered structure and the simultaneous processing of several materials. In order to exploit the potential of this new technology, it is already necessary in product development to consider the components no longer as monolithic blocks, but as a structure of many layers and individual elements (voxels). Therefore, this paper will examine the current state of voxel-based CAD systems and the subsequent 3D multi-material printing of the designed components. Different voxel-based CAD systems are used and analyzed for component design and a sample component is additively manufactured. The results show that simple components can be designed using voxel-based CAD systems. With the application of 3D multi-material printing, different materials and thus functions can be assigned to the designed voxel-based CAD-model.
In this study, an approach to a microwave-based radar system for the localization of objects has been proposed. This could be particularly useful in microwave imaging applications such as cardiac catheter detection. An experimental system is defined and realized with the selection of an appropriate antenna design. Hardware control functions and different imaging algorithms are implemented as well. The functionality of this measurement setup has been analyzed considering multiple testscenarios and it is proved to be capable of locating multiple objects as well as expanded objects.
We consider large scale Peer-to-Peer Sensor Networks, which try to calculate and distribute the mean value of all sensor inputs. For this we design, simulate and evaluate distributed approximation algorithms which reduce the number of messages. The main difference of these algorithms is the underlying communication protocol which all use the random call model, where in discrete round model each node can call a random sensor node with uniform probability.The amount of data exchanged between sensor nodes and used in the calculation process affects the accuracy of the aggregation results leading to a trade-off situation. The key idea of our algorithms is to limit the sample size using the Finite Population Correction (FPC) method and collect the data using a distribution aggregation using Push-Pull Sampling, Pull Sampling, and Push Sampling communication protocols. It turns out that all methods show exponential improvement of Mean Squared Error (MSE) with the number of messages and rounds.
Towards a Formal Verification of Seamless Cryptographic Rekeying in Real-Time Communication Systems
(2022)
This paper makes two contributions to the verification of communication protocols by transition systems. Firstly, the paper presents a modeling of a cyclic communication protocol using a synchronized network of transition systems. This protocol enables seamless cryptographic rekeying embedded into cyclic messages. Secondly, we test the protocol using the model checking verification technique.
The sharp rise in electricity and oil prices due to the war in Ukraine has caused fluctuations in the results of the previous study about the economic analysis of electric buses. This paper shows how the increase in fuel prices affects the implementation of electric buses. This publication is constructing the Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) model in the small-mid-size city, Offenburg for the transition to electric buses. The future development of costs is estimated and a projection based on learning curves will be carried out. This study intends to introduce a new future prospect by presenting the latest data based on previous research. Through the new TCO result, the cost differences between the existing diesel bus and the electric bus are updated, and also the future prospects for the economic feasibility of the electric bus in a small and midsize city are presented.
Sweaty has already participated several times in RoboCup soccer competitions (Adult Size). Now the work is focused on stabilizing the gait. Moreover, we would like to overcome the constraints of a ZMP-algorithm that has a horizontal footplate as precondition for the simplification of the equations. In addition we would like to switch between impedance and position control with a fuzzy-like algorithm that might help to minimize jerks when Sweaty’s feet touch the ground.
The majority of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries in team sports are non-contact injuries, with cutting maneuvers identified as high-risk tasks. Young female handball players have been shown to be at greater risk for ACL injuries than males. One risk factor for ACL injuries is the magnitude of the knee abduction moment (KAM). Cutting technique variables on foot placement, overall approach and knee kinematics have been shown to influence the KAM. Since injury risk is believed to increase with increasing task complexity, the purpose of the study was to test the effect of task complexity on technique variables that influence the KAM in female handball players during fake-and-cut tasks.
Harnessing the overall benefits of the latest advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) requires the extensive collaboration of academia and industry. These collaborations promote innovation and growth while enforcing the practical usefulness of newer technologies in real life. The purpose of this article is to outline the challenges faced during cross-collaboration between academia and industry. These challenges are also inspected with the help of an ongoing project titled “Quality Assurance of Machine Learning Applications” (Q-AMeLiA), in which three universities cooperate with five industry partners to make the product risk of AI-based products visible. Further, we discuss the hurdles and the key challenges in machine learning (ML) technology transformation from academia to industry based on robustness, simplicity, and safety. These challenges are an outcome of the lack of common standards, metrics, and missing regulatory considerations when state-of-the-art (SOTA) technology is developed in academia. The use of biased datasets involves ethical concerns that might lead to unfair outcomes when the ML model is deployed in production. The advancement of AI in small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs) requires more in terms of common tandardization of concepts rather than algorithm breakthroughs. In this paper, in addition to the general challenges, we also discuss domain specific barriers for five different domains i.e., object detection, hardware benchmarking, continual learning, action recognition, and industrial process automation, and highlight the steps necessary for successfully managing the cross-sectoral collaborations between academia and industry.
Spatially Distributed Wireless Networks (SDWN) are one of the basic technologies for the Internet of Things (IoT) and (Industrial) Internet of Things (IIoT) applications. These SDWN for many of these applications has strict requirements such as low cost, simple installation and operations, and high potential flexibility and mobility. Among the different Narrowband Wireless Wide Area Networking (NBWWAN) technologies, which are introduced to address these categories of wireless networking requirements, Narrowband Internet of Things (NB-IoT) is getting more traction due to attractive system parameters, energy-saving mode of operation with low data rates and bandwidth, and its applicability in 5G use cases. Since several technologies are available and because the underlying use cases come with various requirements, it is essential to perform a systematic comparative analysis of competing technologies to choose the right technology. It is also important to perform testing during different phases of the system development life cycle. This paper describes the systematic test environment for automated testing of radio communication and systematic measurements of the performance of NB-IoT.
During the periods of social isolation to contain the advance of COVID-19 in 2020 and 2021, educational institutions have had the challenge to adopt technological strategies not only to ensure continuity in students’ classes, but also to support their mental health in a period of uncertainty and health risks. Loneliness is an emotional distress caused by the lack of meaningful social connections; it has increasingly affected young adults worldwide during the pandemic's social isolation and still bears psychological effects in the current post-pandemic period. In the light of this challenge, the Nonenliness App was developed as a way to bring together university communities to address issues related to loneliness and mental health disorders through a gamified and social online environment. In this paper, we present the app and its main functionalities (Beta version) and discuss the preliminary results of a pilot clinical study conducted with university students in Germany (N = 12) to verify the app's efficacy and usability, alongside the challenges faced and the next steps to be taken regarding the platform's improvement.
The purpose of this study was to describe the effects of running speed and slope on metatarsophalangeal (MTP) joint kinematics. 22 male and female runners underwent 3D motion analysis on an instrumented treadmill at three different speeds (2.5 m/s, 3.0 m/s, 3.5 m/s). At each speed, participants ran at seven slope conditions (downhill: -15%, -10%, -5%, level, and uphill: +5%, +10%, +15%). We found a significant main effect (p < 0.001) of running speed and slope on peak MTP dorsiflexion and a running speed by slope interaction effect (p < 0.001) for peak MTP dorsiflexion velocity. These findings highlight the need to consider running intensity and environmental factors like running surface inclination when considering MTP joint mechanics and technological aids to support runners.
Nonlinear acoustic waves are considered that have displacements localized at the tip of an elastic wedge. The evolution equation governing their propagation is discussed and compared with its analogues pertaining to nonlinear acoustic surface and bulk waves. Solitary wave solutions of the evolution equation have been determined numerically for the cases of two rectangular edges which may be viewed as generated by splitting a half-space, consisting of crystalline silicon, into two quarter-spaces. For these two geometries, the kernel in the nonlinear terms of the evolution equation has been calculated from the second-order and third-order elastic constants of silicon, and weak dispersion due to tip truncation has been considered. Solitary pulse shapes have been computed and collisions of solitary pulses have been simulated for various relative speeds of the two collision partners. Collision scenarios for the two wedge geometries were found to differ considerably. Special attention is paid to the peculiar interaction of two initially identical solitary pulses.
