Apophis will have a close Earth-encounter in 2029 with potential very close subsequent Earth-encounters (or even an impact) in 2036 or later, depending on whether it passes through one of several less than 1 km-sized gravitational keyholes during its 2029-encounter. A pre-2029 kinetic impact is a very favorable option to nudge the asteroid out of a keyhole. The highest impact velocity and thus deflection can be achieved from a trajectory that is retrograde to Apophis orbit. With a chemical or electric propulsion system, however, many gravity assists and thus a long time is required to achieve this. We show in this paper that the solar sail might be the better propulsion system for such a mission: a solar sail Kinetic Energy Impactor (KEI) spacecraft could impact Apophis from a retrograde trajectory with a very high relative velocity (75-80 km/s) during one of its perihelion passages. The spacecraft consists of a 160 m × 160 m, 168 kg solar sail assembly and a 150 kg impactor. Although conventional spacecraft can also achieve the required minimum deflection of 1 km for this approx. 320 m-sized object from a prograde trajectory, our solar sail KEI concept also allows the deflection of larger objects. For a launch in 2020, we also show that, even after Apophis has flown through one of the gravitational keyholes in 2029, the solar sail KEI concept is still feasible to prevent Apophis from impacting the Earth, but many KEIs would be required for consecutive impacts to increase the total Earth-miss distance to a safe value}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{KloockSchoening2007, author = {Kloock, Joachim P. and Sch{\"o}ning, Michael Josef}, title = {Heavy metal detection with semiconductor devices based on PLD-prepared chalcogenide glass thin films}, series = {Armenian Journal of Physics}, booktitle = {Armenian Journal of Physics}, issn = {1829-1171}, pages = {95 -- 98}, year = {2007}, language = {en} } @article{DachwaldMacDonaldMcInnes2007, author = {Dachwald, Bernd and MacDonald, Malcolm and McInnes, Colin R.}, title = {Heliocentric Solar Sail Orbit Transfers with Locally Optimal Control Laws / Malcolm Macdonald ; Colin McInnes ; Bernd Dachwald}, series = {Journal of Spacecraft and Rockets. 44 (2007), H. 1}, journal = {Journal of Spacecraft and Rockets. 44 (2007), H. 1}, isbn = {0022-4650}, pages = {273 -- 276}, year = {2007}, language = {en} } @article{SchuhGottschalkHoehne2007, author = {Schuh, G. and Gottschalk, S. and H{\"o}hne, Tim}, title = {High Resolution Production Management}, series = {CIRP Annals}, volume = {56}, journal = {CIRP Annals}, number = {1}, issn = {0007-8506}, doi = {10.1016/j.cirp.2007.05.105}, pages = {439 -- 442}, year = {2007}, language = {en} } @article{LinderDigelTemizArtmannetal.2007, author = {Linder, Peter and Digel, Ilya and Temiz Artmann, Ayseg{\"u}l and Kayser, Peter and Porst, Dariusz and Artmann, Gerhard}, title = {High-throughput testing of mechanical forces generated in thin cell and tissue layers}, series = {Tissue Engineering. 13 (2007), H. 7}, journal = {Tissue Engineering. 13 (2007), H. 7}, isbn = {1076-3279}, pages = {1778 -- 1778}, year = {2007}, language = {en} } @article{FoersterLepsaFreundt2007, author = {F{\"o}rster, Arnold and Lepsa, M.

Especially in expansion nozzles of rocket engines with large area ratio, flow separation can trigger strong side loads that can damage the structure of the nozzle. The investigation presented in this paper seeks to establish measures that may be applied to alter the point of flow separation. In order to achieve this, a supersonic nozzle was placed at the exit plane of the conical nozzle. This resulted in the generation of cross flow surrounding the core jet flow from the conical nozzle. Due to the entrainment of the gas stream from the conical nozzle the pressure in its exit plane was found to be lower than that of the ambient. A Cold gas instead of hot combustion gases was used as the working fluid. A mathematical simulation of the concept was validated by experiment. Measurements confirmed the simulation results that due to the introduction of a second nozzle the pressure in the separated region of the conical nozzle was significantly reduced. It was also established that the boundary layer separation inside the conical nozzle was delayed thus allowing an increased degree of overexpansion. The condition established by the pressure measurements was also demonstrated qualitatively using transparent nozzle configurations.}, language = {en} } @article{MangKolzHungeretal.2007, author = {Mang, Thomas and Kolz, J. and Hunger, K. and Rath, S.}, title = {Investigation of self-diffusion processes in ionic hydrogels with a single-sided sensor / Kolz, J. ; Hunger, K. ; Rath, S. ; Mang, T. ; Bl{\"u}mich, B.}, series = {Magnetic Resonance Imaging. 25 (2007), H. 4}, journal = {Magnetic Resonance Imaging. 25 (2007), H. 4}, isbn = {0730-725X}, pages = {566 -- 567}, year = {2007}, language = {en} } @article{MangKolzMartinsetal.2007, author = {Mang, Thomas and Kolz, J. and Martins, J. and Kremer, K.}, title = {Investigation of the Elastomer-Foam Production with Single-Sided NMR / Kolz, J. ; Martins, J. ; Kremer, K. ; Mang, Thomas ; Bl{\"u}mich, B.}, series = {Kautschuk Gummi Kunststoffe. 60 (2007), H. 4}, journal = {Kautschuk Gummi Kunststoffe. 60 (2007), H. 4}, isbn = {0948-3276}, pages = {179 -- 183}, year = {2007}, language = {en} } @article{Pietsch2007, author = {Pietsch, Wolfram}, title = {IT Service Deployment}, series = {QFD : transactions from International Symposium on QFD 2007 - Williamsburg, the Nineteenth Symposium on Quality Function Deployment ; September 7 - 8, 2007, Williamsburg, VA ; [companion document to the Thirteenth International and Nineteenth North American Symposium on Quality Function Deployment (ISQFD'07)] / [organized and hosted by the QFD Institute]}, journal = {QFD : transactions from International Symposium on QFD 2007 - Williamsburg, the Nineteenth Symposium on Quality Function Deployment ; September 7 - 8, 2007, Williamsburg, VA ; [companion document to the Thirteenth International and Nineteenth North American Symposium on Quality Function Deployment (ISQFD'07)] / [organized and hosted by the QFD Institute]}, publisher = {QFD Inst.}, address = {Ann Arbor, Mich.}, isbn = {1-889477-19-2}, pages = {203 -- 212}, year = {2007}, language = {en} } @article{PoghossianIngebrandtAbouzaretal.2007, author = {Poghossian, Arshak and Ingebrandt, S. and Abouzar, Maryam H. and Sch{\"o}ning, Michael Josef}, title = {Label-free detection of charged macromolecules by using a field-effect-based sensor platform: Experiments and possible mechanisms of signal generation}, series = {Applied Physics A: Materials Science \& Processing. 87 (2007), H. 3}, journal = {Applied Physics A: Materials Science \& Processing. 87 (2007), H. 3}, isbn = {0947-8396}, pages = {517 -- 524}, year = {2007}, language = {en} } @article{IngebrandtHanNakamuraetal.2007, author = {Ingebrandt, S. and Han, Y. and Nakamura, F. and Poghossian, Arshak and Sch{\"o}ning, Michael Josef and Offenh{\"a}usser, A.}, title = {Label-free detection of single nucleotide polymorphisms utilizing the differential transfer function of field-effect transistors}, series = {Biosensors and Bioelectronics. 22 (2007), H. 12}, journal = {Biosensors and Bioelectronics. 22 (2007), H. 12}, isbn = {0956-5663}, pages = {2834 -- 2840}, year = {2007}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{Wessling2007, author = {Weßling, Matthias}, title = {Leadership Perspectives: Research Findings, Theories, Practical Experiences}, year = {2007}, abstract = {Leadership Perspectives: Research Findings, Theories, Practical Experiences: Results of Leadership Research and exemplarily application cases show the perspectives and consequences for leadership practice and the following requirements for executives in future.}, subject = {Leadership}, language = {en} } @misc{Kaemper2007, author = {K{\"a}mper, Klaus-Peter}, title = {Lecture notes Sensors and Actuators}, year = {2007}, abstract = {Kennwortgesch{\"u}tzter Zugang nur f{\"u}r Studierende bei Prof. Dr. Klaus-Peter K{\"a}mper.

Unfortunately, the convergence of traditional trajectory optimizers that are based on numerical optimal control methods depends strongly on an adequate initial guess for the control function (if a direct method is used) or for the starting values of the adjoint vector (if an indirect method is used). Especially when many revolutions around the sun are re- quired, trajectory optimization becomes a very difficult and time-consuming task that involves a lot of experience and expert knowledge in astrodynamics and optimal control theory, because an adequate initial guess is extremely hard to find. Evolutionary neurocontrol (ENC) was proposed as a smart method for low-thrust trajectory optimization that fuses artificial neural networks and evolutionary algorithms to so-called evolutionary neurocontrollers (ENCs) [1]. Inspired by natural archetypes, ENC attacks the trajectoryoptimization problem from the perspective of artificial intelligence and machine learning, a perspective that is quite different from that of optimal control theory. Within the context of ENC, a trajectory is regarded as the result of a spacecraft steering strategy that maps permanently the actual spacecraft state and the actual target state onto the actual spacecraft control vector. This way, the problem of searching the optimal spacecraft trajectory is equivalent to the problem of searching (or "learning") the optimal spacecraft steering strategy. An artificial neural network is used to implement such a spacecraft steering strategy. It can be regarded as a parameterized function (the network function) that is defined by the internal network parameters. Therefore, each distinct set of network parameters defines a different network function and thus a different steering strategy. The problem of searching the optimal steering strategy is now equivalent to the problem of searching the optimal set of network parameters. Evolutionary algorithms that work on a population of (artificial) chromosomes are used to find the optimal network parameters, because the parameters can be easily mapped onto a chromosome. The trajectory optimization problem is solved when the optimal chromosome is found. A comparison of solar sail trajectories that have been published by others [2, 3, 4, 5] with ENC-trajectories has shown that ENCs can be successfully applied for near-globally optimal spacecraft control [1, 6] and that they are able to find trajectories that are closer to the (unknown) global optimum, because they explore the trajectory search space more exhaustively than a human expert can do. The obtained trajectories are fairly accurate with respect to the terminal constraint. If a more accurate trajectory is required, the ENC-solution can be used as an initial guess for a local trajectory optimization method. Using ENC, low-thrust trajectories can be optimized without an initial guess and without expert attendance. Here, new results for nuclear electric spacecraft and for solar sail spacecraft are presented and it will be shown that ENCs find very good trajectories even for very difficult problems. Trajectory optimization results are presented for 1.

With the increasing importance of mixed-mode S-parameters, a need for converting the T-parameters from their unbalanced form into a balanced form emerges for suiting both common and differential mode waves, as well as the mode conversion. This paper presents the derivation of the equations for transformations between mixed-mode S- and T-parameters for a mixed-mode two-port. Although derived in a way very similar to monomode T-parameters, no simplifications were necessary. Measurement results exemplify the quality of the T-parameter transformation under real-life conditions.}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{BudaJozenfiniWollert2007, author = {Buda, Aurel and Jozenfini, B. and Wollert, J{\"o}rg}, title = {Mobile ad-hoc Network for home automation based on ZigBee application framework}, series = {1st European ZigBee Developer's Conference : June 18 - 20, 2007, Munich, Germany}, booktitle = {1st European ZigBee Developer's Conference : June 18 - 20, 2007, Munich, Germany}, publisher = {Design \& Elektronik}, address = {Poing}, organization = {European ZigBee Developer's Conference <1, 2007, M{\"u}nchen>}, pages = {1 -- 5}, year = {2007}, language = {en} } @article{HartungKampmannHornetal.2007, author = {Hartung, Frank and Kampmann, Markus and Horn, Uwe and Kritzner, Jan}, title = {Mobile Television / Hartung, Frank ; Kampmann, Markus ; Horn, Uwe ; Kritzner, Jan}, series = {Encyclopedia of mobile computing and commerce / David Taniar ; Bd. 2 : Mobile ICT - Z}, journal = {Encyclopedia of mobile computing and commerce / David Taniar ; Bd. 2 : Mobile ICT - Z}, publisher = {Information Science Reference}, address = {Hershey}, isbn = {978-1-59904-002-8}, pages = {611 -- 615}, year = {2007}, language = {en} } @article{HartungHornHuschkeetal.2007, author = {Hartung, Frank and Horn, Uwe and Huschke, J{\"o}rg and Kampmann, Markus}, title = {Mobile TV Services in 3G Networks / Hartung, Frank ; Horn, Uwe ; Huschke, J{\"o}rg ; Kampmann, Markus ; Lohmar, Thorsten}, series = {KIVS 2007 : Kommunikation in verteilten Systemen : 15.

Such an approach could be mandatory for future combined PET and MRI scanners, which probably do not include a transmission facility. T1-weighted MR images were segmented into brain tissue, bone, soft tissue, and sinus; attenuation coefficients corresponding to elemental composition and density as well as to 511 keV photon energy were respectively assigned. Attenuation maps containing up to four compartments were created and forward projected into sinograms with attenuation factors which then were used for AC during reconstruction of FDG-PET data. The commonly used AC based on a radioactive (68Ge) transmission scan served as reference. The reconstructed radioactivity values obtained with the MRI-based AC were about 20\% lower than those obtained with PET-based AC if the skull was not taken into account. Considering the skull the difference was still about 10\%. Our investigations demonstrate the feasibility of a MRI-based AC, but revealed also the necessity of a satisfying delineation of bone thickness which tends to be underestimated in our first approach of T1-weighted MR image segmentation.}, language = {en} } @article{HartungDondetiCastleford2007, author = {Hartung, Frank and Dondeti, L. and Castleford, F.}, title = {Multimedia Internet KEYing (MIKEY) General Extension Payload for Open Mobile Alliance BCAST LTKM/STKM Transport / Dondeti, L. ; Castleford, D. ; Hartung, F.}, pages = {1 -- 7}, year = {2007}, language = {en} } @article{PoghossianAbouzarChristiaensetal.2007, author = {Poghossian, Arshak and Abouzar, Maryam H. and Christiaens, P. and Williams, O.
