TY - THES A1 - Bartz, Markus T1 - Dupiano : Ein aus einem Bauelement auffaltbarer Keyboradständer mit dem Erscheinungsbild eines akustischen Klavieres. N2 - Klavierspielende Künstlerinnen und Künstler finden sich auf der Bühne meist an einer Kombination aus Keyboard und Keyboardständer wieder. Zwar kann der Klang eines Klaviers technisch brillant simuliert werden, jedoch verliert das Bühnenbild den Mehrwert eines traditionellen Klaviers. Um diesem Verlust von Authentizität und Wohlgefühl auf der Bühne endlich etwas entgegenzusetzen, soll ein "dupiano" gängige Keyboardständer ersetzen und sämtliche Keyboards in das Erscheinungsbild eines akustischen Klaviers hüllen. Dadurch sollen auch die visuellen Eindrücke, verknüpft mit den akustischen, an Authentizität gewinnen und den Klavierauftritt vervollständigen. Es ist leicht, stabil und ohne Werkzeug in unter 10 Sekunden aufbaubar. Auch der Abbau geschieht in unter 10 Sekunden. Verstaut werden kann es von einer Person in jedem Kofferraum. "dupiano" - was nach Klavier klingt, soll auch so aussehen! KW - Keyboard KW - Klavier KW - Keyboardständer KW - Musik KW - Faltbar Y1 - 2024 N1 - Für diese Arbeit steht kein Volltext zur Verfügung.

N2 - In der Abschlussarbeit „FILOS“ wurde in Zusammenarbeit mit dem Fraunhofer-Institut für Lasertechnik (ILT) ein Front-End für das laserbasierte Osteotom STELLA entwickelt. STELLA soll Kraniotomie (das Eröffnen des Schädels) im wachen Zustand ermöglichen und erfordert eine benutzerfreundliche Bedienungsplattform sowie ein funktionales und ästhetisches Design. Das Ziel von „FILOS“ war es, ein Gehäuse zu entwerfen, das den medizinischen Anforderungen entspricht, und ein Bedienkonzept zu entwickeln, dass die Akzeptanz bei Patient:innen und Anwender:innen fördert. Durch Expert:innen-Interviews mit Neurochirurg:innen und enge Zusammenarbeit mit dem ILT wurde ein durchdachtes Design entwickelt. Dieses soll den Anforderungen der Anwender:innen gerecht werden, das zukünftige Operationssystem repräsentieren und somit einen Mehrwert in der Medizin schaffen.

JF - Microchemical Journal N2 - Electronic cigarettes (e-cigarettes) have become popular worldwide with the market growing exponentially in some countries. The absence of product standards and safety regulations requires urgent development of analytical methodologies for the holistic control of the growing diversity of such products. An approach based on low-field nuclear magnetic resonance (LF-NMR) at 80 MHz is presented for the simultaneous determination of key parameters: carrier solvents (vegetable glycerine (VG), propylene glycol (PG) and water), total nicotine as well as free-base nicotine fraction. Moreover, qualitative and quantitative determination of fourteen weak organic acids deliberately added to enhance sensory characteristics of e-cigarettes was possible. In most cases these parameters can be rapidly and conveniently determined without using any sample manipulation such as dilution, extraction or derivatization steps. The method was applied for 37 authentic e-cigarettes samples. In particular, eight different organic acids with the content up to 56 mg/mL were detected. Due to its simplicity, the method can be used in routine regulatory control as well as to study release behaviour of nicotine and other e-cigarettes constituents in different products.

T1 - Collagen fibril reinforcement in connective tissue extracellular matrices T2 - Handbook of the extracellular matrix N2 - The connective tissues such as tendons contain an extracellular matrix (ECM) comprising collagen fibrils scattered within the ground substance. These fibrils are instrumental in lending mechanical stability to tissues. Unfortunately, our understanding of how collagen fibrils reinforce the ECM remains limited, with no direct experimental evidence substantiating current theories. Earlier theoretical studies on collagen fibril reinforcement in the ECM have relied predominantly on the assumption of uniform cylindrical fibers, which is inadequate for modelling collagen fibrils, which possessed tapered ends. Recently, Topçu and colleagues published a paper in the International Journal of Solids and Structures, presenting a generalized shear-lag theory for the transfer of elastic stress between the matrix and fibers with tapered ends. This paper is a positive step towards comprehending the mechanics of the ECM and makes a valuable contribution to formulating a complete theory of collagen fibril reinforcement in the ECM.

Guided by a critical literature review, in this paper an overview of Health management systems classified in a scheme is presented, introducing commonly utilised methods to diagnose FCs in various applications. In this novel scheme, various Health management system methods are summarised and structured to provide an overview of existing systems including their associated tools. These systems are classified into four categories mainly focused on model-based and non-model-based systems. The individual methods are critically discussed when used individually or combined aimed at further understanding their functionality and suitability in different applications. Additionally, a tool is introduced to evaluate methods from each category based on the scheme presented. This tool applies the technique of matrix evaluation utilising several key parameters to identify the most appropriate methods for a given application. Based on this evaluation, the most suitable methods for each specific application are combined to build an integrated Health management system.

The goal of the thermal simulation environment is to enable the reliable prediction of the temperature development of a given object on the lunar surface by providing the respective heat fluxes for a mission on a given travel path. The user can import any object geometry and freely define the path that the object should travel. Using the path of the object, the relevant lunar surface geometry is imported from a digital elevation model. The relevant parts of the lunar surface are determined based on distance to the defined path. A thermal model of these surface sections is generated, consisting of a porous layer on top and a denser layer below. The object is moved across the lunar surface, and its inclination is adapted depending on the slope of the terrain below it. Finally, a transient thermal analysis of the object and its environment is performed at several positions on its path and the results are visualized. The paper introduces details on the thermal modeling of the lunar surface, as well as its verification. Furthermore, the structure of the created software is presented. The robustness of the environment is verified with the help of sensitivity studies and possible improvements are presented.

The potential distribution generated by the catalytic metals integrated into a semiconductor field-effect structure was read as a photocurrent signal generated by scanning light pulses. The impact of the proposed technology spread beyond gas sensing, inspiring the development of various imaging modalities based on the light addressing of field-effect structures to obtain spatial maps of pH distribution, ions, molecules, and impedance, and these modalities have been applied in both biological and non-biological systems. These light-addressing technologies have been further developed to realize the position control of a faradaic current on the electrode surface for localized electrochemical reactions and amperometric measurements, as well as the actuation of liquids in microfluidic devices.
