Die Entwicklung und Herstellung eines Labor-Demonstrators für Mikrospiegel-Arrays zur Tageslichtlenkung wird beschrieben. Der Labor-Demonstrator besteht aus einem aktiven Fenster und einem Miniaturraum, wodurch die Funktionsweise der Mikrospiegel-Arrays in dem aktiven Fenster optimal dargestellt werden kann. Das aktive Fenster besteht aus einer Isolierverglasung mit einer Größe von 50 cm x 50 cm, in deren Scheibenzwischenraum vier unabhängig voneinander steuerbare Mikrospiegel-Arrays integriert sind, die eine Fläche ...

We introduce and study an extension of the well-known and well-studied branching-time logics CTL, CTL+, FCTL+, CTL* and the modal μ-calculus with the so called "hybrid framework". This framework borrows ideas from first-order logic to enable more precise "structural" reasoning which is known to be impossible in the original logics. In particular, the extension with this framework enables these logics to uniquely name, reference and test for certain states, similarly to the concepts of variables and constants in ...

Die Verwendung von Partikeln spielt in vielen alltäglichen Bereichen eine essenzielle Rolle und ist daher im Laufe dieses Jahrhunderts immer mehr in den Fokus der Forschung gerückt. Aktuelle Forschungsarbeiten belegen, dass die Größe und Form der Partikel Einfluss auf verschiedene Anwendungen haben. Ein Beispiel ist die Verwendung als Medikamententräger. Forschungen zeigen, dass ellipsoide Partikel langsamer als sphärische Partikel von Makrophagen internalisiert werden und den Transport von Medikamenten innerhalb des ...

This document provides an overview of modeling concepts for service-based software architectures (SBSAs). The concepts were extracted during a survey of conceptual frameworks for architecture modeling of SBSAs.

The capabilities of autonomous robots are increasing which is a reason for research progress in the last years. An increasing number of robotic scenarios are becoming more viable in various domains for example, mowing, harvesting, warehouse robots. But autonomous mobile robots need more than the ability to navigate through their world, and manipulate objects. Even in teams of robots, a structured plan for each team member is necessary. Planning becomes a more important task. Furthermore, the environment can ...

Die Anzahl an Rechenknoten in Hochleistungsrechnern wächst stetig. In solchen Systemen nimmt die Bedeutung von Fehlertoleranz zu, da die Wahrscheinlichkeit eines permanenten Knotenausfalls ebenfalls stetig wächst. Fehlertoleranz gegenüber permanenten Knotenausfällen wird typischerweise durch Checkpointing auf Systemebene realisiert. Findet das Checkpointing jedoch auf Anwendungsebene statt, können Laufzeitvorteile erzielt werden. Diese Implementierungen sind allerdings zeitintensiv und fehleranfällig. Anwendungen, ...

This work is aimed at the development of a fabrication process for realization of a chirped filter based laser device (called as coreSEL). Conventional vertical cavity surface emitting lasers (VCSELs) are based on Fabry-Pérot arrangement where the electric field of the resonant mode is mainly located in the cavity region (center) and often causes undesired effects such as mode-jumps. However, coreSEL is based on chirped optical filter which offers a resonant mode with wider spatial distribution of the electric field ...

There is a current trend that more and more computer programs analyze written or spoken natural language. For example, DVAs, IE systems, machine translation systems, and many other types of programs process natural language in order to solve specific use cases when interacting with humans via natural language. Amazon, Google, and Mycroft AI are just some of the companies that have produced DVAs capable of interacting with humans via voice. Such NLP applications use techniques from computer science and artificial ...

The nanoimprint technology realizes already the production of two-dimensional (2D) shaped nanoparticles of different shapes and materials. These nanoparticles can be applied in advanced applications in material engineering, as well as in biology and particularly in drug-delivery systems. This work presents three-dimensional (3D) shaped nanoparticles with T-, L- and step-like cross-sections, implemented by substrate conformal imprint lithography (SCIL) and a manual soft-imprint technique. Further, 2D shaped nanoparticles ...

In this dissertation, we investigate the interplay between extremal fixpoints and higher-order constructs. The main Focus here is Higher-Order Modal Fixpoint Logic (HFL), an extension of the modal mu-calculus by a simply typed lambda calculus. The resulting logic is very expressive, yet the interplay of its components has not been systematically investigated so far. Goal of this thesis is to characterize the interplay of the components of HFL. A first characterization is given by converting the denotational semantics ...
