Towards Effective Natural Language Application Development
(2019)
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 ...

Discovering Knowledge in Bipartite Graphs with Formal Concept Analysis
(2019)
Since the 1970s knowledge based approaches are a crucial part of artificial intelligence (AI) research. In this work we investigate data sets in the form of bipartite graphs, i.e., graphs where a bipartition of the vertex set respecting the edge set can be found, for knowledge. To this end we first relate those bipartite graphs to the structure formal context, as used in formal concept analysis (FCA). This link enables us to employ the whole tool-set of FCA to bipartite graphs and therefore, notably, to bipartite ...

Multi-Frequency Microwave Radiometer for Medical Thermography
(2019-09)
Microwave radiometer systems are an entirely non-invasive, non-toxic, avoiding ionizing radiation, and relatively inexpensive detecting modality. The microwave radiometry technique is based on the measurement of natural electromagnetic noise signals emitted by lossy materials. In medicine, microwave radiometry technique offers a non-invasive thermometry method having the potential advantages of monitoring and producing a full map of the temperature deeply inside the human tissues. The method of diagnosing procedures ...

Beitrag zur Betrachtung des Einflusses der Anforderungen auf die Hazard-Rate unter besonderer Berücksichtigung des Zusammenhangs zwischen Anforderungsrate, Ausfallrate, Probability of Dangerous Failure on Demand, Probability of Dangerous Failure per Hour und Hazard-Rate
(2015)
Durch die Digitalisierung verstärkt sich der Einsatz von komplexen elektronischen Systemen. Diese Systeme müssen sowohl gesetzlich und normativ geforderte Sicherheitsaspekte erfüllen als auch betriebswirtschaftlich ihre Rendite durch Verfügbarkeit erzielen. Einhergehend mit der Komplexität steigen die Anforderungen an Zuverlässigkeit, Sicherheit und Verfügbarkeit für das Gesamtsystem bestehend aus dem zu überwachenden System und dem Sicherheitssystem.
In dieser Monographie werden Erweiterungen von existierenden ...

Power System Inertia
(2019)
System inertia is the instantaneous power reserve that stabilizes power systems after large-scale disturbances. It declines with increasing renewable generation, causing an increased risk of black-out unless action is taken. Providing additional inertia will be necessary to maintain security of supply at a reasonable level. To solve the problem of reduced inertia in a reliable and cost-efficient way, this thesis first systematically describes requirements on system level, as basis for the following evaluation of ...

Weight reduction of DC/DC converters using controllable inductors
(VDE Verlag, 2019-07)
Controllable inductors can be realized by introducing auxiliary windings into the device that partially saturate the core and allow variation of the inductance value. This can be used to achieve zero-voltage switching in a DC/DC converter over a wide load range while at the same time the weight of the inductor is reduced. In this paper the possible size and weight reduction and the influence on the efficiency is calculated and compared to other solutions. The results are verified in a prototype.

Planning of Autonomous and Mobile Robots in Dynamic Environments
(2018-11)
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 ...

Fehlertoleranz und Elastizität für ein Framework zur globalen Lastenbalancierung
(2018-09-10)
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, ...

Multilayer Thin-film Structures with Distributed Cavity for Optical Filter and Laser Applications
(2018-12)
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 ...

Entwicklung eines Nanoimprint-Prozesses zur Herstellung von dreidimensional strukturierten Nanopartikeln mit erhöhter mechanischer Stabilität
(2019)
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 ...
