The motivation lies in exploring a novel approach to efficiently generate high-energy density plasma with potential applications across various fields. Implemented in an E01 circular cavity resonator, the proposed method involves the use of an impedance and field matching device with a coaxial connector and a specially optimized monopole antenna. This setup feeds a low-loss cavity resonator, resulting in a high-energy density air plasma with a surface temperature exceeding 3500 o C, achieved with a minimal power input of 80 W. The argon plasma, resembling the shape of a simple monopole antenna with modeled complex dielectric values, offers a more energy-efficient alternative compared to traditional, power-intensive plasma shaping methods. Simulations using a commercial electromagnetic (EM) solver validate the design's effectiveness, while experimental validation underscores the method's feasibility and practical implementation. Analyzing various parameters in an argon atmosphere, including hot S -parameters and plasma beam images, the results demonstrate the successful application of this technique, suggesting its potential in coating, furnace technology, fusion, and spectroscopy applications.}, language = {en} } @article{TheysohnKraffEilersetal.2014, author = {Theysohn, Jens M. and Kraff, Oliver and Eilers, Kristina and Andrade, Dorian and Gerwig, Marcus and Timmann, Dagmar and Schmitt, Franz and Ladd, Mark E. and Ladd, Susanne C. and Bitz, Andreas}, title = {Vestibular effects of a 7 Tesla MRI examination compared to 1.5 T and 0 T in healthy volunteers}, series = {PLoS one}, volume = {9}, journal = {PLoS one}, number = {3}, publisher = {PLOS}, address = {San Francisco}, issn = {1932-6203}, doi = {10.1371/journal.pone.0092104}, pages = {e92104}, year = {2014}, abstract = {Ultra-high-field MRI (7 Tesla (T) and above) elicits more temporary side-effects compared to 1.5 T and 3 T, e.g. dizziness or "postural instability" even after exiting the scanner. The current study aims to assess quantitatively vestibular performance before and after exposure to different MRI scenarios at 7 T, 1.5 T and 0 T. Sway path and body axis rotation (Unterberger's stepping test) were quantitatively recorded in a total of 46 volunteers before, 2 minutes after, and 15 minutes after different exposure scenarios: 7 T head MRI (n = 27), 7 T no RF (n = 22), 7 T only B₀ (n = 20), 7 T in \& out B₀ (n = 20), 1.5 T no RF (n = 20), 0 T (n = 15). All exposure scenarios lasted 30 minutes except for brief one minute exposure in 7 T in \& out B₀. Both measures were documented utilizing a 3D ultrasound system. During sway path evaluation, the experiment was repeated with eyes both open and closed. Sway paths for all long-lasting 7 T scenarios (normal, no RF, only B₀) with eyes closed were significantly prolonged 2 minutes after exiting the scanner, normalizing after 15 minutes. Brief exposure to 7 T B₀ or 30 minutes exposure to 1.5 T or 0 T did not show significant changes. End positions after Unterberger's stepping test were significantly changed counter-clockwise after all 7 T scenarios, including the brief in \& out B₀ exposure. Shorter exposure resulted in a smaller alteration angle. In contrast to sway path, reversal of changes in body axis rotation was incomplete after 15 minutes. 1.5 T caused no rotational changes. The results show that exposure to the 7 Tesla static magnetic field causes only a temporary dysfunction or "over-compensation" of the vestibular system not measurable at 1.5 or 0 Tesla. Radiofrequency fields, gradient switching, and orthostatic dysregulation do not seem to play a role.}, language = {en} } @article{SunAltherrPeietal.2018, author = {Sun, Hui and Altherr, Lena and Pei, Ji and Pelz, Peter F. and Yuan, Shouqi}, title = {Optimal booster station design and operation under uncertain load}, series = {Applied Mechanics and Materials}, volume = {885}, journal = {Applied Mechanics and Materials}, publisher = {Trans Tech Publications}, address = {B{\"a}ch}, issn = {1662-7482}, doi = {10.4028/www.scientific.net/AMM.885.102}, pages = {102 -- 115}, year = {2018}, abstract = {Given industrial applications, the costs for the operation and maintenance of a pump system typically far exceed its purchase price. For finding an optimal pump configuration which minimizes not only investment, but life-cycle costs, methods like Technical Operations Research which is based on Mixed-Integer Programming can be applied. However, during the planning phase, the designer is often faced with uncertain input data, e.g. future load demands can only be estimated. In this work, we deal with this uncertainty by developing a chance-constrained two-stage (CCTS) stochastic program. The design and operation of a booster station working under uncertain load demand are optimized to minimize total cost including purchase price, operation cost incurred by energy consumption and penalty cost resulting from water shortage. We find optimized system layouts using a sample average approximation (SAA) algorithm, and analyze the results for different risk levels of water shortage. By adjusting the risk level, the costs and performance range of the system can be balanced, and thus the system's resilience can be engineered}, language = {en} } @article{SukhotinaStreckertBitzetal.2006, author = {Sukhotina, Irina and Streckert, Joachim R. and Bitz, Andreas and Hansen, Volkert W. and Lerchl, Alexander}, title = {1800 MHz electromagnetic field effects on melatonin release from isolated pineal glands}, series = {Journal of Pineal Research}, volume = {40}, journal = {Journal of Pineal Research}, number = {1}, issn = {1600-079X}, doi = {10.1111/j.1600-079X.2005.00284.x}, pages = {86 -- 91}, year = {2006}, language = {en} } @article{SteinbauerFerrein2016, author = {Steinbauer, Gerald and Ferrein, Alexander}, title = {20 Years of RoboCup}, series = {KI - K{\"u}nstliche Intelligenz}, volume = {30}, journal = {KI - K{\"u}nstliche Intelligenz}, number = {3-4}, publisher = {Springer}, address = {Berlin}, issn = {1610-1987}, doi = {10.1007/s13218-016-0442-z}, pages = {221 -- 224}, year = {2016}, language = {en} } @article{SommerStreckertBitzetal.2004, author = {Sommer, Angela M. and Streckert, Joachim and Bitz, Andreas and Hansen, Volkert W. and Lerchl, Alexander}, title = {No effects of GSM-modulated 900 MHz electromagnetic fields on survival rate and spontaneous development of lymphoma in female AKR/J mice}, series = {BMC Cancer}, volume = {77}, journal = {BMC Cancer}, number = {4}, doi = {10.1186/1471-2407-4-77}, year = {2004}, language = {en} } @article{SommerBitzStreckertetal.2007, author = {Sommer, Angela M. and Bitz, Andreas and Streckert, Joachim and Hansen, Volkert W. and Lerchl, Alexander}, title = {Lymphoma development in mice chronically exposed to UMTS-modulated radiofrequency electromagnetic fields}, series = {Radiation Research}, volume = {168}, journal = {Radiation Research}, number = {1}, issn = {1938-5404}, doi = {10.1667/RR0857.1}, pages = {72 -- 80}, year = {2007}, language = {en} } @article{SiepmannSchuhWebersberger1997, author = {Siepmann, Thomas and Schuh, G. and Webersberger, P.}, title = {Qualit{\"a}tshandbuch und Prozesspl{\"a}ne im INTRANET / Schuh, G.; Webersberger, P.; Siepmann, Th.}, series = {Industrie-Management : Zeitschrift f{\"u}r industrielle Gesch{\"a}ftsprozesse (1997)}, journal = {Industrie-Management : Zeitschrift f{\"u}r industrielle Gesch{\"a}ftsprozesse (1997)}, year = {1997}, language = {de} } @article{SiepmannSchuhLevering1998, author = {Siepmann, Thomas and Schuh, G. and Levering, V.}, title = {Gesch{\"a}ftsprozesse gestalten - leicht gemacht / Schuh, G.; Siepmann, Th.; Levering, V.}, series = {Zeitschrift f{\"u}r wirtschaftlichen Fabrikbetrieb : ZWF (1998)}, journal = {Zeitschrift f{\"u}r wirtschaftlichen Fabrikbetrieb : ZWF (1998)}, publisher = {Hanser}, address = {M{\"u}nchen}, pages = {353 -- 355}, year = {1998}, language = {de} } @article{SiepmannSchuhLevering1998, author = {Siepmann, Thomas and Schuh, G. and Levering, V.}, title = {PROPLAN / Schuh, G.; Siepmann, Th.; Levering, V.}, series = {Handbook on architectures of information systems : with 24 tables / Peter Bernus ...

The idea was to test the sensors in different typical scenarios that were defined with real-world use cases in mind, in order to find a sensor that meet the requirements of self-driving vehicles. For this, we defined static and dynamic benchmark scenarios. In the static scenarios, both LiDAR and the detection target do not move during the measurement. In dynamic scenarios, the LiDAR sensor was mounted on the vehicle which was driving toward the detection target. We tested all mentioned LiDAR sensors in both scenarios, show the results regarding the detection accuracy of the targets, and discuss their usefulness for deployment in self-driving cars.}, language = {en} }
