Methods Nine healthy volunteers and 12 prostate cancer patients were scanned on a 7 T whole-body system. Preparation consisted of B₀ and radiofrequency shimming and localized flip angle calibration. T₁ and T₂ relaxation times were measured and used to define the T2w-TSE protocol. T2w imaging was performed using a TSE sequence (pulse repetition time/echo time 3000-3640/71 ms) with prolonged excitation and refocusing pulses to reduce specific absorption rate. Results High quality T2w TSE imaging was performed in less than 2 min in all subjects. Tumors of patients with gold-standard tumor localization (MR-guided biopsy or prostatectomy) were well visualized on 7 T imaging (n = 3). The number of consecutive slices achievable within a 10-g averaged specific absorption rate limit of 10 W/kg was ≥28 in all subjects, sufficient for full prostate coverage with 3-mm slices in at least one direction.

Darst. auch erschienen unter dem gleichen Titel als Fortschriftt-Berichte VDI : Reihe 10, Informatik, Kommunikationstechnik ; 564 ISBN 3-18-356410-6 Kurzfassung Die Einf{\"u}hrung von Multimedia-Diensten und die Etablierung einer Informationsgesellschaft bringt neben technischen Gesichtspunkten auch eine Reihe von wirtschaftlichen, rechtlichen und politischen Aspekten mit sich, die der vertieften Beobachtung und ggf. einer aktiven und gezielten Gestaltung bed{\"u}rfen. Als Schritt zum {\"U}bergang ins digitale Multimedia-Zeitalter werden die hochwertigen und damit schnellen digitalen Zugangstechnologien und die Individualisierung von Diensten immer wichtiger. Die Multimedia-Dienste bieten diverse Dienstleistungen, die mit Hilfe eines einfachen Modells, bestehend aus Mittlerplattform und Architektur, beschrieben werden k{\"o}nnen. Die Dienste haben charakteristische Funktionen und Aufgaben, die {\"u}ber mehrere Server, unterschiedliche Endger{\"a}te und diverse Zugangswege bereitgestellt werden. Eine wichtige Basis stellen die Standards, z. B. DAVIC und DVB, dar. Erste grundlegende Erfahrungen aus Piloten bilden die Basis f{\"u}r den Betrieb der Multimedia-Dienste und interaktiven Kommunikationsdienste. {\"U}ber die oben beschriebene Technologie hinaus k{\"o}nnten f{\"u}r den Betrieb von Multimedia-Plattformen weitere Aspekte, wie die universelle Kommunikationsplattform XAPI, die bestehenden Dienstekonzepte des Intelligenten Netzes und die Ganzheitlichkeit der Chaostheorie, einen wichtigen Einfluß aus{\"u}ben. Einen zweiten Schritt ins digitale Multimediazeitalter stellt die Integration ins gesellschaftliche Leben dar. Die Angebote von Multimedia-Diensten in Deutschland unterliegen Einfl{\"u}ssen, die aus den Bundesl{\"a}ndern, der Bundesregierung, der Europ{\"a}ischen Union und Internationalen Abkommen hervortreten. Durch medienpolitische Zielstellungen werden gesetzliche Rahmen definiert, was sich zwangsl{\"a}ufig auf die Wirtschaftlichkeit von Multimedia-Diensten auswirkt. Unter die wirtschaftlichen Aspekte fallen die Kundengruppen, die Branchen und deren Produkte und Dienstleistungen. Die wichtigsten rechtlichen Grundlagen sind das Telekommunikations-, Informations- und Kommunikationsgesetz, Landesmedien- und Urheberrecht, diverse andere Gesetze und das Lizenzrecht. Die medienpolitischen Aktivit{\"a}ten einzelner Unternehmen in Deutschland werden von den Verflechtungen der Medienunternehmen, dem Machtkampf um Fernsehinhalte und deren Rechten sowie den wichtigsten Unternehmen mit ihren Produkten und Dienstleistungen bestimmt. Ausgehend von der Problematisierung werden drei L{\"o}sungen entwickelt. Die universellen Kommunikationsplattformen XAPI und das Intelligente Netz IN schaffen neue Konzepte, die in eine technisch-betriebliche L{\"o}sung - das Dienstmanagement - einfließen. Der Kunde ben{\"o}tigt ein Dienstangebot f{\"u}r die Nutzung von Multimedia-Diensten. Die Grundlagen der kundenorientierten L{\"o}sung - Dienstangebot - bilden die vertrieblichen und interdisziplin{\"a}ren Probleme aus dem Kapitel „Problematisierung". Mit der Chaostheorie ist eine Betrachtung der Ganzheitlichkeit m{\"o}glich. Ein Teilaspekt der gesellschaftlichen Belange - die {\"o}konomischen Entwicklung - kann mit Hilfe einer {\"o}konomischen L{\"o}sung - der Gesamtheitlichkeit - dargestellt werden. Der Begriff "Multimedia-Dienst" sagt schon aus, daß eigentlich alle und alles betrachtet werden kann. Alle Entwicklungen und Konzepte k{\"o}nnen in ein Gesamtkonzept einfließen und diese neu pr{\"a}gen. Es kann daher nur ein Ausschnitt der zu erwartenden Problemen aufzeigt werden.

Die Dienste ben{\"o}tigen f{\"u}r die verschiedenen Medien nicht mehr so große {\"U}bertragungs- und Speicherleistungen. Bei den entwickelten Verfahren, den so genannten MPEG-(Motion Picture Experts Group-)Standards, werden die Video- und Tonsignale in die digitale Ebene {\"u}berf{\"u}hrt und anschließend unrelevante Signalanteile entfernt. Der daraus resultierende Datenstrom ben{\"o}tigt weniger Bandbreite bei der {\"U}bertragung zum Endkunden. Die MPEG-Organisation wurde bereits im Jahre 1988 ins Leben gerufen und ist ein gemeinsames Gremium der beiden Organisationen ISO (International Standard Organization) und IEC (International Electrotechnical Commission), welches sich mit der Standardisierung von Kodier- und Kompressionsverfahren f{\"u}r die digitalen Bild-, Video und Audioformate befasst. Mittlerweile sind vier wichtige Standards mit MPEG-1, MPEG-2 und MPEG-4 verabschiedet worden sowie mit MPEG-7 in Vorbereitung.

Hier setzt ein Content-Management-System (CMS) an, welches sowohl f{\"u}r die Kunden als auch f{\"u}r die Anbieter der unterschiedlich distribuierten Dienste Synergien und somit Einsparpotenziale bietet. Dar{\"u}ber hinaus werden f{\"u}r die Anbieter dieser Dienste durch die allgemeine Definition von Leistungstools und die Definition von Wertsch{\"o}pfungsketten k{\"u}nftige Produktentwicklungen vereinheitlicht und optimiert werden. Mit der Entwicklung und Vertriebsfreigabe immer weiterer Informationsdienste, die von verschiedenen Dienste-Providern betrieben werden, ist der Bedarf an einer Koordinierung der Entwicklungen und Investitionen im Bereich der Content-Akquisition und des Content-Management (CM) bedeutend angestiegen.

Ist unsere wissenschaftliche Sichtweise falsch, alle Vorg{\"a}nge des Kosmos auf die Basis der Ordnung abzubilden? - Nein. Mit Chaos ist nicht Fehlen jeglicher Ordnung und v{\"o}llig regelloses Durcheinander gemeint, sondern - auf Grund der Vernetztheit der vielen Elemente, die miteinander eine Wechselwirkung haben - die Unberechenbarkeit der Naturprozesse. Die Chaostheorie erlaubt durch die Modellierung weit auseinander liegende Problemfelder miteinander zu verkn{\"u}pfen, um dann in einem Modell die Zusammenh{\"a}nge erkennbar zu machen. Mit Hilfe der Chaostheorie werden gesellschaftliche Prozesse abgebildet und dann mit einer Simulation neue, globale Strategien erstellt, um kritische Systempunkte (Systemelemente) zu erkennen. Der nachfolgende Beitrag beschreibt die Modellierung am Beispiel der Multimedia-Dienste und gibt mit einem umfassenden Glossar eine Einf{\"u}hrung in die Begrifflichkeiten der Chaostheorie. Die Chaostheorie ist die mathematisch-physikalische Theorie zur Beschreibung von Systemen, die zwar durch Gesetzm{\"a}ßigkeiten determiniert sind, bei denen aber kleine {\"A}nderungen der Anfangsbedingungen ein exponentielles Anwachsen von St{\"o}rungen bewirken.

ToF sensors provide full range distance information at high frame-rates and thus have a significant impact onto current research in areas like online object recognition, collision prevention or scene reconstruction. However, ToF cameras like the photonic mixer device (PMD) still exhibit a number of challenges regarding static and dynamic effects, e.g. systematic distance errors and motion artefacts, respectively. Sensor calibration techniques reducing static system errors have been proposed and show promising results. However, current calibration techniques in general need a large set of reference data in order to determine the corresponding parameters for the calibration model. This paper introduces a new calibration approach which combines different demodulation techniques for the ToF- camera 's reference signal.

This uncertainty is often addressed by using a stochastic synthesis process to derive representative driving cycles and by using cycle-based optimization. To deal with this uncertainty, a new approach based on a stochastic optimization program is presented. This leads to an optimization model that is solved with an exact solver.

This approach enables the pumping system to automatically react on unknown disturbances and to reduce the impact of component failures. In this case, the system is able to automatically adapt its topology by activating additional valves. This enables the system to still reach a minimum performance, even in case of failures.

While current vehicle designs mostly simplify the powertrain rigorously and use an electric motor in combination with a gearbox with only one fixed transmission ratio, the use of multi-gear systems has great potential. First, a multi-speed system is able to improve the overall energy efficiency. Secondly, it is able to reduce the maximum momentum and therefore to reduce the maximum current provided by the traction battery, which results in a longer battery lifetime. In this paper, we present a systematic way to generate multi-gear gearbox designs that—combined with a certain electric motor—lead to the most efficient fulfillment of predefined load scenarios and are at the same time robust to uncertainties in the load. Therefore, we model the electric motor and the gearbox within a Mixed-Integer Nonlinear Program, and optimize the efficiency of the mechanical parts of the powertrain.

We show the ability of this systematic design approach with a ventilation system for buildings as a use case example. Based on a Mixed-Integer Nonlinear Program (MINLP) we model the ventilation system. We use binary variables to model the selection of different pipe diameters. Multiple fans are model with the help of scaling laws. The whole system is represented by a graph, where the edges represent the pipes and fans and the nodes represents the source of air for cooling and the sinks, that have to be cooled. At the beginning, the human designer chooses a construction kit of different suitable fans and pipes of different diameters and different load cases. These boundary conditions define a variety of different possible system topologies. It is not possible to consider all topologies by hand. With the help of state of the art solvers, on the other side, it is possible to solve this MINLP. Next to this, we also consider the effects of malfunctions in different components. Therefore, we show a first approach to measure the resilience of the shown example use case. Further, we compare the conventional approach with designs that are more resilient. These more resilient designs are derived by extending the before mentioned model with further constraints, that consider explicitly the resilience of the overall system.

In spite of this, realistic application areas for such robots are limited to teleoperated reconnaissance or search. In this paper, we investigate how well state-of-the-art and off-the-shelf components and algorithms are suited for reconnaissance in current disaster-relief scenarios. The basic idea is to make use of some of the most common sensors and deploy some widely used algorithms in a disaster situation, and to evaluate how well the components work for these scenarios. We acquired the sensor data from two field experiments, one from a disaster-relief operation in a motorway tunnel, and one from a mapping experiment in a partly closed down motorway tunnel. Based on these data, which we make publicly available, we evaluate state-of-the-art and off-the-shelf mapping approaches. In our analysis, we integrate opinions and replies from first responders as well as from some algorithm developers on the usefulness of the data and the limitations of the deployed approaches, respectively.

Materials and Methods In this institutional review board-approved study, 15 patients with biopsy-proven prostate cancer underwent T₂-weighted magnetic resonance imaging and 3-dimensional ³¹P MRSI at 7 T. Voxels were selected at the tumor location, in normal-appearing peripheral zone tissue, normal-appearing transition zone tissue, and in the base of the prostate close to the seminal vesicles. Phosphorus metabolite ratios were determined and compared between tissue types. Results Signals of phosphoethanolamine (PE) and phosphocholine (PC) were present and well resolved in most ³¹P spectra in the prostate. Glycerophosphocholine signals were observable in 43\% of the voxels in malignant tissue, but in only 10\% of the voxels in normal-appearing tissue away from the seminal vesicles. In many spectra, independent of tissue type, 2 peaks resonated in the chemical shift range of inorganic phosphate, possibly representing 2 separate pH compartments. The PC/PE ratio in the seminal vesicles was highly elevated compared with the prostate in 5 patients. A considerable overlap of ³¹P metabolite ratios was found between prostate cancer and normal-appearing prostate tissue, preventing direct discrimination of these tissues. The only 2 patients with high Gleason scores tumors (≥4+5) presented with high PC and glycerophosphocholine levels in their cancer lesions. Conclusions Phosphorus MRSI at 7 T shows distinct features of phospholipid metabolites in the prostate gland and its surrounding structures. In this exploratory study, no differences in ³¹P metabolite ratios were observed between prostate cancer and normal-appearing prostate tissue possibly because of the partial volume effects of small tumor foci in large MRSI voxels.}, language = {en} } @article{LagemaatMaasVosetal.2015, author = {Lagemaat, Miriam W. and Maas, Marnix C. and Vos, Eline K. and Bitz, Andreas and Orzada, Stephan and Weiland, Elisabeth and Uden, Mark J. van and Kobus, Thiele and Heerschap, Arend and Scheenen, Tom W.

Methods A double spin-echo sequence was equipped with SPSP refocusing pulses with a spectral selectivity of 1 ppm. Three-dimensional prostate ¹H-MRSI at 7T was performed with the SPSP-MRSI sequence using an 8-channel transmit array coil and an endorectal receive coil in three patients with prostate cancer and in one healthy subject. No additional water or lipid suppression pulses were used. Results Prostate ¹H-MRSI could be obtained well within specific absorption rate (SAR) limits in a clinically feasible time (10 min). Next to the common citrate signals, the prostate spectra exhibited high spermine signals concealing creatine and sometimes also choline. Residual lipid signals were observed at the edges of the prostate because of limitations in spectral and spatial selectivity. Conclusion It is possible to perform prostate ¹H-MRSI at 7T with a SPSP-MRSI sequence while using separate transmit and receive coils. This low-SAR MRSI concept provides the opportunity to increase spatial resolution of MRSI within reasonable scan times.}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{KueppersSchubaNeugebaueretal.2023, author = {K{\"u}ppers, Malte and Schuba, Marko and Neugebauer, Georg and H{\"o}ner, Tim and Hack, Sacha}, title = {Security analysis of the KNX smart building protocol}, series = {ARES '23: Proceedings of the 18th International Conference on Availability, Reliability and Security}, booktitle = {ARES '23: Proceedings of the 18th International Conference on Availability, Reliability and Security}, publisher = {ACM}, doi = {10.1145/3600160.3605167}, pages = {1 -- 7}, year = {2023}, abstract = {KNX is a protocol for smart building automation, e.g., for automated heating, air conditioning, or lighting.

Conductive charging stations, which are today's state of the art, are of limited suitability for urbanised areas, since they cause a significant diversification in townscape. Furthermore, they might be destroyed by vandalism. Besides for those urbanistic reasons, inductive charging stations are a much more comfortable alternative, especially in urbanised areas. The usage of conductive charging stations requires more or less bulky charging cables. The handling of those standardised charging cables, especially during poor weather conditions, might cause inconvenience, such as dirty clothing etc. Wireless charging does not require visible and vandalism vulnerable charge sticks. No wired connection between charging station and vehicle is needed, which enable the placement below the surface of parking spaces or other points of interest. Inductive charging seems to be the optimal alternative for E-Mobility, as a high power transfer can be realised with a manageable technical and financial effort. For a well-accepted and working public charging infrastructure in urbanised areas it is essential that the infrastructure fits the vehicles' needs. Hence, a well-adjusted standardisation of the charging infrastructure is essential. This is carried out by several IEC (International Electrotechnical Commission) and national standardisation committees. To ensure an optimised technical solution for future's inductive charging infrastructures, several field tests had been carried out and are planned in near future.}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{KoenigWolf2016, author = {K{\"o}nig, Johannes Alexander and Wolf, Martin}, title = {The pyramid assessment framework for 'competence developing games'}, series = {Communications in Computer and Information Science}, volume = {618}, booktitle = {Communications in Computer and Information Science}, editor = {Stephanidis, C.}, publisher = {Springer}, isbn = {978-331940541-4}, issn = {1865-0929}, doi = {10.1007/978-3-319-40542-1_37}, pages = {232 -- 237}, year = {2016}, language = {en} } @article{KoenigWolf2018, author = {K{\"o}nig, Johannes Alexander and Wolf, Martin}, title = {GHOST: An Evaluated Competence Developing Game for Cybersecurity Awareness Training}, series = {International Journal on Advances in Security}, volume = {11}, journal = {International Journal on Advances in Security}, number = {3 \& 4}, publisher = {IARIA Journals}, issn = {1942-2636}, pages = {274 -- 287}, year = {2018}, abstract = {To train end users how to interact with digital systems is indispensable to ensure a strong computer security.

This study explores whether this much simpler framework succeeds in achieving the same range of learning outcomes. Method wise a keyword analysis was conducted. The results were threefold: 1. The words used to describe teaching goals in CDGs on IT security education do not reflect the whole range of learning outcomes. 2. The word choice is nevertheless different from common language, indicating an intentional use of language. 3. IT security CDGs use different sets of terms to describe learning outcomes, depending on whether they are awareness, training, or education games. The interpretation of the findings is that the reduction to just three types of CDGs reduces the capacity to communicate and think about learning outcomes and consequently reduces the outcomes that are intentionally achieved.}, language = {en} } @article{Koehler2020, author = {K{\"o}hler, Klemens}, title = {A conflict theory perspective of IT attacks - consequences for IT security education}, number = {Preprint}, year = {2020}, abstract = {Cyberspace is "the environment formed by physical and non-physical components to store, modify, and exchange data using computer networks" (NATO CCDCOE).

However, there are still limitations in imaging early stages of cartilage degeneration, very fine tendons and ligaments, or in locating nerve lesions, for example. 7 T MRI of the knee has already received increasing attention in the current published literature, but there is a strong need to develop new radiofrequency (RF) coils to assess more regions of the MSK system. In this work, an eight-channel transmit/receive RF array was built as a multipurpose coil for imaging some of the thus far neglected regions. An extensive coil characterization protocol and first in vivo results of the human wrist, shoulder, elbow, knee, and ankle imaged at 7 T will be presented. Methods: Eight surface loop coils with a dimension ofurn:x-wiley:00942405:media:mp7176:mp7176-math-0001 were machined from FR4 circuit board material. To facilitate easy positioning, two coil clusters, each with four loop elements, were combined to one RF transmit/receive array. An overlapped and shifted arrangement of the coil elements was chosen to reduce the mutual inductance between neighboring coils. A phantom made of body-simulating liquid was used for tuning and matching on the bench. Afterward, the S-parameters were verified on a human wrist, elbow, and shoulder. For safety validation, a detailed compliance test was performed including full wave simulations of the RF field distribution and the corresponding specific absorption rate (SAR) for all joints. In vivo images of four volunteers were assessed with gradient echo and spin echo sequences modified to obtain optimal image contrast, full anatomic coverage, and the highest spatial resolution within a reasonable acquisition time. The performance of the RF coil was additionally evaluated by in vivo B1 mapping. Results: A comparison of B1 per unit power, flip angle distribution, and anatomic images showed a fairly homogeneous excitation for the smaller joints (elbow, wrist, and ankle), while for the larger joints, the shoulder and especially the knee, B1 inhomogeneities and limited penetration depth were more pronounced. However, the greater part of the shoulder joint could be imaged.In vivo images rendered very fine anatomic details such as fascicles of the median nerve and the branching of the nerve bundles. High-resolution images of cartilage, labrum, and tendons could be acquired. Additionally, turbo spin echo (TSE) and inversion recovery sequences performed very well. Conclusions: This study demonstrates that the concept of two four-channel transmit/receive RF arrays can be used as a multipurpose coil for high-resolutionin vivo MR imaging of the musculoskeletal system at 7 T. Not only gradient echo but also typical clinical and SAR-intensive sequences such as STIR and TSE performed well. Imaging of small structures and peripheral nerves could in particular benefit from this technique.}, language = {en} } @article{KraffBitzBreyeretal.2011, author = {Kraff, Oliver and Bitz, Andreas and Breyer, Tobias and Kruszona, Stefan and Maderwald, Stefan and Brote, Irina and Gizewski, Elke R. and Ladd, Mark E. and Quick, Harald H.}, title = {A transmit/receive radiofrequency array for imaging the carotid arteries at 7 Tesla: coil design and first in vivo results}, series = {Investigative Radiology}, volume = {46}, journal = {Investigative Radiology}, number = {4}, publisher = {Wolters Kluwer}, address = {K{\"o}ln}, issn = {1536-0210}, doi = {10.1097/RLI.0b013e318206cee4}, pages = {246 -- 254}, year = {2011}, abstract = {Objective: To develop a transmit/receive radiofrequency (RF) array for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the carotid arteries at 7 T. The prototype is characterized in numerical simulations and bench measurements, and the feasibility of plaque imaging at 7 T is demonstrated in first in vivo images. Materials and Methods: The RF phased array coil consists of 8 surface loop coils. To allow imaging of both sides of the neck, the RF array is divided into 2 coil clusters, each with 4 overlapping loop elements. For safety validation, numerical computations of the RF field distribution and the corresponding specific absorption rate were performed on the basis of a heterogeneous human body model. To validate the coil model, maps of the transmit B1+ field were compared between simulation and measurement. In vivo images of a healthy volunteer and a patient (ulcerating plaque and a 50\% stenosis of the right internal carotid artery) were acquired using a 3-dimensional FLASH sequence with a high isotropic spatial resolution of 0.54 mm as well as using pulse-triggered proton density (PD)/T2-weighted turbo spin echo sequences. Results: Measurements of the S-parameters yielded a reflection and isolation of the coil elements of better than -18 and -13 dB, respectively. Measurements of the g-factor indicated good image quality for parallel imaging acceleration factors up to 2.4. A similar distribution and a very good match of the absolute values were found between the measured and simulated B1+ transmit RF field for the validation of the coil model. In vivo images revealed good signal excitation of both sides of the neck and a high vessel-to-background image contrast for the noncontrast-enhanced 3-dimensional FLASH sequence. Imaging at 7 T could depict the extent of stenosis, and revealed the disruption and ulcer of the plaque. Conclusions: This study demonstrates that 2 four-channel transmit/receive RF arrays for each side of the neck is a suitable concept for in vivo MRI of the carotid arteries at 7 Tesla. Further studies are needed to explore and exploit the full potential of 7 T high-field MRI for carotid atherosclerotic plaque imaging.}, language = {en} } @article{KowalewskiBragardHueningetal.2023, author = {Kowalewski, Paul and Bragard, Michael and H{\"u}ning, Felix and De Doncker, Rik W.}, title = {An inexpensive Wiegand-sensor-based rotary encoder without rotating magnets for use in electrical drives}, series = {IEEE Transactions on Instrumentation and Measurement}, journal = {IEEE Transactions on Instrumentation and Measurement}, publisher = {IEEE}, issn = {0018-9456 (Print)}, doi = {10.1109/TIM.2023.3326166}, pages = {10 Seiten}, year = {2023}, abstract = {This paper introduces an inexpensive Wiegand-sensor-based rotary encoder that avoids rotating magnets and is suitable for electrical-drive applications. So far, Wiegand-sensor-based encoders usually include a magnetic pole wheel with rotating permanent magnets. These encoders combine the disadvantages of an increased magnet demand and a limited maximal speed due to the centripetal force acting on the rotating magnets. The proposed approach reduces the total demand of permanent magnets drastically. Moreover, the rotating part is manufacturable from a single piece of steel, which makes it very robust and cheap. This work presents the theoretical operating principle of the proposed approach and validates its benefits on a hardware prototype. The presented proof-of-concept prototype achieves a mechanical resolution of 4.5 ° by using only 4 permanent magnets, 2Wiegand sensors and a rotating steel gear wheel with 20 teeth.}, language = {en} }
