Methods The modular coil array comprises eight independent building blocks, each containing four transceiver loop elements. Numerical simulations were used for B1+ field homogenization and radiofrequency (RF) safety validation. RF characteristics were examined in a phantom study. The array's suitability for accelerated high spatial resolution two-dimensional (2D) FLASH CINE imaging of the heart was examined in a volunteer study. Results Transmission field adjustments and RF characteristics were found to be suitable for the volunteer study. The signal-to-noise intrinsic to 7.0T together with the coil performance afforded a spatial resolution of 1.1 × 1.1 × 2.5 mm3 for 2D CINE FLASH MRI, which is by a factor of 6 superior to standardized CINE protocols used in clinical practice at 1.5T. The 32-channel transceiver array supports one-dimensional acceleration factors of up to R = 4 without impairing image quality significantly. Conclusion The modular 32-channel transceiver cardiac array supports accelerated and high spatial resolution cardiac MRI. The array is compatible with multichannel transmission and provides a technological basis for future clinical assessment of parallel transmission techniques at 7.0T.}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{NiemuellerLakemeyerFerrein2013, author = {Niem{\"u}ller, Tim and Lakemeyer, Gerhard and Ferrein, Alexander}, title = {Aspects of integrating diverse software into robotic systems extended abstract}, series = {ICRA 2013 - 8th Workshop on Software Development and Integration in Robotics (SDIR), Karlsruhe, Germany}, booktitle = {ICRA 2013 - 8th Workshop on Software Development and Integration in Robotics (SDIR), Karlsruhe, Germany}, pages = {1 -- 2}, year = {2013}, language = {en} } @article{FerreinKonurLakemeyer2004, author = {Ferrein, Alexander and Konur, Savas and Lakemeyer, Gerhard}, title = {Learning Decision Trees for Action Selection in Soccer Agents / Konur, Savas ; Ferrein, Alexander ; Lakemeyer, Gerhard}, pages = {1 -- 7}, year = {2004}, language = {en} } @article{Ferrein2005, author = {Ferrein, Alexander}, title = {Specifying Soccer Moves with Golog}, series = {Book of abstracts : Cologne, 15 - 17 September 2004 / 1st International Working Conference IT and Sport \& 5th conference DVS-Section Computer Science in Sport}, journal = {Book of abstracts : Cologne, 15 - 17 September 2004 / 1st International Working Conference IT and Sport \& 5th conference DVS-Section Computer Science in Sport}, publisher = {German Sport Univ.}, address = {K{\"o}ln}, isbn = {3-00-014576-1}, pages = {161 -- 165}, year = {2005}, language = {en} } @article{SchoppDollGraeseretal.2016, author = {Schopp, Christoph and Doll, Timo and Gr{\"a}ser, Ulrich and Harzheim, Thomas and Heuermann, Holger and Kling, Rainer and Marso, Michael}, title = {Capacitively Coupled High-Pressure Lamp Using Coaxial Line Networks}, series = {IEEE Transactions on Microwave Theory and Techniques}, volume = {64}, journal = {IEEE Transactions on Microwave Theory and Techniques}, number = {10}, publisher = {IEEE}, address = {New York, NY}, issn = {0018-9480}, doi = {10.1109/TMTT.2016.2600326}, pages = {3363 -- 3368}, year = {2016}, abstract = {This paper describes the development of a capacitively coupled high-pressure lamp with input power between 20 and 43 W at 2.45 GHz, using a coaxial line network. Compared with other electrodeless lamp systems, no cavity has to be used and a reduction in the input power is achieved. Therefore, this lamp is an alternative to the halogen incandescent lamp for domestic lighting. To serve the demands of domestic lighting, the filling of the lamp is optimized over all other resulting requirements, such as high efficacy at low induced powers and fast startups. A workflow to develop RF-driven plasma applications is presented, which makes use of the hot S-parameter technique. Descriptions of the fitting process inside a circuit and FEM simulator are given. Results of the combined ignition and operation network from simulations and measurements are compared. An initial prototype is built and measurements of the lamp's lighting properties are presented along with an investigation of the efficacy optimizations using large signal amplitude modulation. With this lamp, an efficacy of 135 lmW -1 is achieved.}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{HeuermannHarzheimMuehmel2021, author = {Heuermann, Holger and Harzheim, Thomas and M{\"u}hmel, Marc}, title = {A maritime harmonic radar search and rescue system using passive and active tags}, series = {2020 17th European Radar Conference (EuRAD)}, booktitle = {2020 17th European Radar Conference (EuRAD)}, publisher = {IEEE}, address = {New York, NY}, isbn = {978-2-87487-061-3}, doi = {10.1109/EuRAD48048.2021.00030}, pages = {73 -- 76}, year = {2021}, abstract = {This article introduces a new maritime search and rescue system based on S-band illumination harmonic radar (HR).
