Especially, when applied in vapour phase, it has shown high potential of microbial inactivation. In addition, it offers a high environmental compatibility compared to other chemical sterilisation agents, as it decomposes into oxygen and water, respectively. Due to a lack in sensory detection possibilities, a continuous monitoring of the H2O2 concentration was recently not available. Instead, the sterilisation efficacy is validated using microbiological tests. However, progresses in the development of calorimetric gas sensors during the last 7 years have made it possible to monitor the H2O2 concentration during operation. This chapter deals with the fundamentals of calorimetric gas sensing with special focus on the detection of gaseous hydrogen peroxide. A sensor principle based on a calorimetric differential set-up is described. Special emphasis is given to the sensor design with respect to the operational requirements under field conditions. The state-of-the-art regarding a sensor set-up for the on-line monitoring and secondly, a miniaturised sensor for in-line monitoring are summarised. Furthermore, alternative detection methods and a novel multi-sensor system for the characterisation of aseptic sterilisation processes are described.}, language = {en} } @incollection{Pietsch2013, author = {Pietsch, Wolfram}, title = {A framework for strategic positioning of IT-products}, series = {Software business : from physical products to software services and solutions : 4th International Conference on Software Business, ICSOB 2013; Potsdam; Germany; 11 June 2013 through 14 June 2013.

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} } @incollection{SeiblerSchwenk2010, author = {Seibler, Jost and Schwenk, Frieder}, title = {Transgenic RNAi Applications in the Mouse}, series = {Methods in Enzymology : Guide to Techniques in Mouse Development, Part B: Mouse Molecular Genetics. 2nd Edition}, booktitle = {Methods in Enzymology : Guide to Techniques in Mouse Development, Part B: Mouse Molecular Genetics. 2nd Edition}, publisher = {Elsevier}, address = {Amsterdam}, isbn = {978-0-12-384880-2}, pages = {367 -- 386}, year = {2010}, language = {en} } @incollection{SchneiderWisselinkCzarneckietal.2024, author = {Schneider, Dominik and Wisselink, Frank and Czarnecki, Christian and N{\"o}lle, Nikolai}, title = {Benefits and framework conditions for information-driven business models concerning the Internet of Things}, series = {Digitalization in companies}, booktitle = {Digitalization in companies}, publisher = {Springer}, address = {Wiesbaden}, isbn = {978-3-658-39093-8 (Print)}, doi = {10.1007/978-3-658-39094-5_5}, pages = {59 -- 75}, year = {2024}, abstract = {In the context of the increasing digitalization, the Internet of Things (IoT) is seen as a technological driver through which completely new business models can emerge in the interaction of different players. Identified key players include traditional industrial companies, municipalities and telecommunications companies. The latter, by providing connectivity, ensure that small devices with tiny batteries can be connected almost anywhere and directly to the Internet. There are already many IoT use cases on the market that provide simplification for end users, such as Philips Hue Tap. In addition to business models based on connectivity, there is great potential for information-driven business models that can support or enhance existing business models. One example is the IoT use case Park and Joy, which uses sensors to connect parking spaces and inform drivers about available parking spaces in real time. Information-driven business models can be based on data generated in IoT use cases. For example, a telecommunications company can add value by deriving more decision-relevant information - called insights - from data that is used to increase decision agility. In addition, insights can be monetized. The monetization of insights can only be sustainable, if careful attention is taken and frameworks are considered. In this chapter, the concept of information-driven business models is explained and illustrated with the concrete use case Park and Joy.

In addition to the need to ensure optimal thermal operating conditions of the drivetrain components (drive motor, battery and electrical components), thermal comfort must be provided for the passengers. Thermal comfort is defined as the feeling which expresses the satisfaction of the passengers with the ambient conditions in the compartment. The influencing factors on thermal comfort are the temperature and humidity as well as the speed of the indoor air and the clothing and the activity of the passengers, in addition to the thermal radiation and the temperatures of the interior surfaces. The generation and the maintenance of free visibility (ice- and moisture-free windows) count just as important as on-demand heating and cooling of the entire vehicle. A Carsharing climate concept of the innovative ec2go vehicle stipulates and allows for only seating areas used by passengers to be thermally conditioned in a close-to-body manner.
