Ein Anwendungs-Szenario wurde gleich mitgeliefert. Diese Technologie würde es möglich machen, die gesamte Ersatzteilversorgung der Amerikanischen Pazifikflotte mittels ein paar dieser Maschinen, umfangreicher Datenstätze und genügend Rohmaterial vor Ort auf einem Flugzeugträger direkt nach Bedarf zu fertigen. Diese Vorstellung definierte schon damals die direkte digitale Fertigung, das Rapid Manufacturing. In der Realität bestanden die mit diesem Verfahren hergestellten Bauteile nur aus Kunststoff, waren ungenau, bruchempfindlich und klebrig und allein in der Produktentwicklung, eben als Prototypen zu benutzen. Sie waren schnell verfügbar, weil zu Ihrer Herstellung keine Werkzeuge benötigt wurden. Folgerichtige und zudem modern hießen sie: Rapid Prototyping. Rapid Prototyping wurde schnell zum Synonym eines neuen Zweiges der Fertigungstechnik, der Generativen Fertigungstechnik. Die weitere Entwicklung brachte neue Verfahren, höhere Genauigkeiten, verbesserte Werkstoffe und neue Anwendungen. Die Herstellung von Negativen, also Werkzeugen, mit dem gleichen Verfahren wurde marketing-getrieben Rapid Tooling genannt und als die ersten Bauteile nicht mehr als Prototypen, sondern als Endprodukte eingesetzt wurden, nannte man dies Rapid Manufacturing - das Ziel war erreicht. War das Ziel wirklich erreicht? Ist es Rapid Manufacturing, wenn ein generativ gefertigtes Bauteil die gewünschte Spezifikation erreicht? Was muss passieren, damit aus dem Phänomen Rapid Prototyping eine Strategie wird, die geeignet ist, einen Paradigmenwechsel von der heutigen Hersteller-induzierten Massenproduktion von Massenartikeln zur Verbraucher-induzierten (und verantworteten) Massenproduktion von Einzelteilen für jedermann ermöglichen und möglicherweise unsere Arbeits- und Lebensformen tiefgreifend zu beeinflussen? Im Beitrag wird der Begriff der (Fertigungs-) Strategie „Rapid Manufacturing“ näher beleuchtet. Es wird diskutiert, welche Maßnahmen auf der technischen und der operative Ebene getroffen werden müssen, damit die generative Fertigungstechnik im Sinne dieser Strategie umgesetzt werden kann. Beispiele belegen, dass diese Entwicklung bereits begonnen hat und geben Anregungen für eine konstruktive Diskussion auf der RapidTech 2006. N2 - As a process called stereolithography and a stereolithography apparatus (SLA) was presented in 1987, the dream of manufacturing any three-dimensional component directly from computer data and without component-specific tools became reality. An application scenario was supplied at the same time. This technology would make it possible to produce the entire spare parts requirement of the American Pacific Fleet merely through the use of a couple of such machines, extensive datasets and enough raw material on board an aircraft carrier directly as required. This image defined direct digital fabrication, rapid manufacturing, even at that time. In reality, this procedure only managed to produce components in plastic which were imprecise, fragile and sticky and only usable as prototypes in product development. They were rapidly available, because no tools were required for their manufacture. Consequentially, they are now known as Rapid Prototyping in modern jargon. Rapid Prototyping quickly became a synonym for a new branch of production engineering known as generative production engineering. Continued development brought new processes, improved accuracy, improved materials and new applications. The manufacturing of negatives, in other words tools, using the same procedure was quickly named rapid tooling by the marketing sector, and once the first components were used as final products instead of just prototypes the process was renamed "rapid manufacturing" - the goal had been reached. Was the goal really reached? Is it rapid manufacturing if a generatively manufactured component reaches the required specifications? What has to happen so that the rapid prototyping phenomenon becomes a strategy which is suitable for enabling the paradigm change from current manufacture-induced mass production of mass articles to consumer-induced (and consumer-responsible) mass production of single parts for anyone, and in all possibility makes dramatic changes in our way of working and living? The lecture includes detailed information about the (production) strategy term "rapid manufacturing". We will be discussing which measures need to be taken on the technical and operative level so that generative production engineering can be implemented in the sense of this strategy. Examples will show that this development has already started, and should provoke stimulation leading to constructive discussion during RapidTech 2006.

Das liegt vor allem an der fehlenden Verfügbarkeit geeigneter optisch transparenter Modellkanäle für die experimentelle Analyse. Der Beitrag stellt ein Verfahren zur Herstellung transparenter durchströmter Geometrien auf der Basis generativ gefertigter Urmodelle vor. Damit können beliebig komplexe Innenströmungen optisch analysiert werden. Anhand von zwei Beispielen aus der Medizin, der Modellierung der oberen Atemwege und des Bronchialbaums, wird das Verfahren vorgeführt. Der generative Bauprozess mittels 3D-Printing wird beschrieben und die Abformung in transparentem Silikon gezeigt. Schließlich werden beispielhaft der Messaufbau und Ergebnisse der Anwendung vorgestellt. Das Verfahren bildet die Grundlage für die Analyse und Berechnung komplexer Innenströmungen und trägt somit zur Verbesserung zahlreicher technischer Anwendungen bei. N2 - Unlike the flow around technical products the interior flow is not understood very well. That’s mainly because of a lack of suitable transparent investigation tunnels that are needed to apply optical methods. The paper proposes a procedure to make precise complex hollow structures from a highly transparent material using masters from generative or Rapid Prototyping processes. Taking two examples from the medical field, the upper human airways and the bronchial tree, the entire process is shown. The 3D Printing build process is illustrated as well as the silicon casting process. Finally the measuring equipment is demonstrated and sample results are given. The process establishes the basis for the investigation and calculation of complex interior flow pattern and therefore contributes to a better understanding and consequently improvement of appropriate technical products.

Je mehr sich die besonderen Eigenschaften generativ gefertigter Kunststoffbauteile herumsprechen, desto lauter wird der Ruf nach Metallbauteilen. Die Entwicklung entsprechender Prozesse läuft auf Hochtouren, kann aber bisher aber erst vereinzelt Erfolge vorweisen. Dabei wären es gerade die Metallbauteile, die ausgestattet mit den besonderen Merkmalen generativ gefertigter Werkstücke, in vielen Branchen einen deutlichen Entwicklungsschub auslösen könnten. Für den potenziellen Anwender ist dabei besonders verwirrend, dass die unterschiedlichsten Ansätze nebeneinander verfolgt werden. Im Folgenden soll daher der Versuche unternommen werden, dieses weite Feld systematisiert darzustellen und Möglichkeiten und Trends zu erläutern. N2 - The generative manufacturing of plastic components via rapid prototyping has positively affected the product development. As 'rapid manufacturing' the method is about to revolutionize the manufacturing in general. The more the special characteristics of generative manufactured plastic components are getting about, the louder becomes the call for generative manufactured metal components. The development of analogical processes runs on full speed. So far however, only sporadic successes can be registered. Though there are in particular the metal components which could, equipped with the special characteristics of generative manufactured components, initiate a developmental boost in many industries. For the potential operator it is particularly confusing that the different approaches are traced parallel. Therefore in the following contribution the attempt is undertaken not only to represent this wide field in a systematic way but to describe possibilities and trends as well.

Mit der Weiterentwicklung der Verfahren und insbesondere der Materialien wird mehr und mehr das Feld der direkten Anwendung der Rapid Technologie zur Fertigung erschlossen. Rapid Technologien werden daher zum Schlüssel für neue Konstruktionssystematiken und Fertigungsstrategien. N2 - Generative procedures have been known under the term of 'rapid prototyping method' for about 18 years in the USA and about 15 years in Europe and Germany. In this time they changed from what was regarded as being a rather exotic way of model construction procedures to a very efficient and useful instrument for faster product manufacturing. In the course of the further development of the methods, and in particular the materials, the field for direct application of rapid technology opens up for manufacturing. Therefore rapid technologies become the key for new construction systematics and manufacturing strategies.

The biosensor consisted of recombinant PNP-degrading/oxidizing bacteria Pseudomonas putida JS444 anchoring and displaying organophosphorus hydrolase (OPH) on its cell surface as biological sensing element and a dissolved oxygen electrode as the transducer. Surfaceexpressed OPH catalyzed the hydrolysis of fenitrothion and EPN to release 3-methyl-4-nitrophenol and p-nitrophenol, respectively, which were oxidized by the enzymatic machinery of Pseudomonas putida JS444 to carbon dioxide while consuming oxygen, which was measured and correlated to the concentration of organophosphates. Under the optimum operating conditions, the biosensor was able to measure as low as 277 ppb of fenitrothion and 1.6 ppm of EPN without interference from phenolic compounds and other commonly used pesticides such as carbamate pesticides, triazine herbicides and organophosphate pesticides without nitrophenyl substituent. The applicability of the biosensor to lake water was also demonstrated.

The modeling system acts under amperometric conditions. The microreactors were modeled by particles and by strips. The model is based on the diffusion equations containing a nonlinear term related to the Michaelis-Menten kinetics of the enzymatic reaction. The model involves three regions: an array of enzyme microreactors where enzyme reaction as well as mass transport by diffusion takes place, a diffusion limiting region where only the diffusion takes place, and a convective region, where the analyte concentration is maintained constant. Using computer simulation, the influence of the geometry of the microreactors and of the diffusion region on the biosensor response was investigated. The digital simulation was carried out using the finite difference technique.

The membrane-coating mixture used in the preparation of this new type of microsensors is incorporating PVC as supporting matrix, o-nitrophenyloctylether (o-NPOE) as solvent mediator and a recently synthesized Hg[dimethylglyoxime(phene)]2+ and Bis-(4-hydroxyacetophenone)-ethylenediamine as electroactive materials for Hg(II) and Cd(II), respectively. A set of three commercialised ionophores for Cd(II), Pb(II) and Cu(II) has been also used for comparison. Thin-film microsensors based on these membranes showed a Nernstian response of slope (26-30 mV/dec.) for the respective tested cations. The potentiometric response characteristics (linear range, pH range, detection limit and response time) are comparable with those obtained by conventional membranes as well as coated wire electrodes prepared from the same membrane. The realisation of the new organic membrane-based thin-film microsensors overcomes the problem of an insufficient selectivity of solid-state-based thinfilm sensors.

Then, the absorption spectrum of the reaction product, NADH, was monitored (maximum peak at 340 nm). The results obtained by the spectrophotometric method were compared with the results obtained by the colourimetry, using pH indicators. The above-mentioned two methods will be used as references for potentiometric measurements of phenylalanine concentration.

A two-phase system consisting of an aqueous electrolyte solution and a toluene phase that includes the suspended undecanoatecapped magnetic NPs is used to control the interfacial properties of the electrode surface. The attracted magnetic NPs form a hydrophobic layer on the electrode surface resulting in the change of the mechanisms of the surface-confined electrochemical processes. A quinone-monolayer modified Au electrode demonstrates an aqueous-type of the electrochemical process (2e-+2H+ redox mechanism) for the quinone units in the absence of the hydrophobic magnetic NPs, while the attraction of the magnetic NPs to the surface results in the stepwise single-electron transfer mechanism characteristic of a dry nonaqueous medium. Also, the attraction of the hydrophobic magnetic NPs to the Au electrode surface modified with Au NPs (ca. 1.4 nm) yields a microenvironment with a low dielectric constant that results in the single-electron quantum charging of the Au NPs.

In the course of repetitions of the film-deposition procedure there is no waste of material due to additivity of this thick-film technology. Finally, the thick films can be easily and quickly deposited on inexpensive substrates. In this contribution, thick-film ion-selective electrodes based on ionophores as well as crystalline ion-selective materials dedicated for potentiometric measurements are demonstrated. Analytical parameters of these sensors are comparable with those reported for conventional potentiometric electrodes. All mentioned thick-film strip electrodes have been totally fabricated in only one, fully automated thickfilm technology, without any additional manual, chemical or electrochemical steps. In all cases simple, inexpensive, commercially available materials, i.e. flexible, plastic substrates and easily cured polymer-based pastes were used.

A number of techniques, e.g. externally mounted displacers, differential pressure transmitters and capacitance rod devices, have been developed to measure the separation process with gas, oil, water and other components. Because of the unavailability of suitable multi-interface level measurement systems, oil separators are currently operated by the trial-and-error approach. In this paper some conventional techniques, which have been used for level measurement in industry, and new development are discussed.

The developed method of enzyme immobilisation is based on Schiff’s base formation between the amino groups on the enzyme surface and the aldehyde groups on the chemically modified surface of the supports. The surface of silicon modified by APTS and GOPS with immobilised enzyme was characterised by atomic force microscopy (AFM), time-of-flight secondary ion mass spectroscopy (ToF-SIMS) and infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). The supports with immobilised enzyme (urease) were also tested in combination with microreactors fabricated in silicon and Perspex, operating in a flow-through system. For microreactors filled with urease immobilised on glass beads (Sigma) and on polymeric beads (PAN), a very high and stable signal (pH change) was obtained. The developed method of urease immobilisation can be stated to be very effective.

The method is based on the conversion of a photolithographically patterned metal layer to a metal-oxide mask with improved pattern-size resolution using thermal oxidation. With this technique, the pattern size can be scaled down to several nanometer dimensions. The proposed method is experimentally demonstrated by preparing nanostructures with different configurations and layouts, like circles, rectangles, trapezoids, “fluidic-channel”-, “cantilever”- and meander-type structures.

The integration of optical and electro-optical accessories, according to suggested methods, can improve the performance of fluorescence imaging. It can boost the signal to background ratio by a few orders of magnitudes in comparison to conventional discrete setups. The methods that are present in this paper are oriented towards building reproducible arrays for high-throughput micro total analysis systems (µTAS). The first method relates to side illumination of the fluorescent material placed into microcompartments of the lab-on-chip. Its significance is in high utilization of excitation energy for low concentration of fluorescent material. The utilization of a transparent µLED chip, for the second method, allows the placement of the excitation light sources on the same optical axis with emission detector, such that the excitation and emission rays are directed controversly. The third method presents a spatial filtering of the excitation background.

T1 - High frequency quartz micro balances: a promising path to enhanced sensitivity of gravimetric sensors N2 - An array of 50 MHz quartz microbalances (QMBs) coated with a dendronized polymer was used to detect small amounts of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in the gas phase. The results were compared to those obtained with the commonly used 10 MHz QMBs. The 50 MHz QMBs proved to be a powerful tool for the detection of VOCs in the gas phase; therefore, they represent a promising alternative to the much more delicate surface acoustic wave devices (SAWs).

In this study, a single piezoelectric quartz crystal nanobalance modified with polystyrene was employed to detect benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene and xylene (BTEX compounds). The frequency shift of the QCN sensor was found to be linear against the BTEX compound concentrations in the range about 1-45 mg l-1. The correlation coefficients for benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, and xylene were 0.991, 0.9977, 0.9946 and 0.9971, respectively. The principal component analysis was also utilized to process the frequency response data of the single piezoelectric crystal at different times, considering to the different adsorption-desorption dynamics of BTEX compounds. Using principal component analysis, it was found that over 90% of the data variance could still be explained by use of two principal components (PC1 and PC2). Subsequently, the successful identification of benzene and toluene was possible through the principal component analysis of the transient responses of the polystyrene modified QCN sensor. The results showed that the polystyrene-modified QCN had favorable identification and quantification performances for the BTEX compounds.

For the synthesis cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTABr) was used as a structure-directing agent; the resulting SnO2 powders were applied as films to commercially available sensor substrates by drop coating. Nitrogen physisorption shows specific surface areas up to 160 m2·g-1 and mean pore diameters of about 4 nm, as verified by TEM. The film conductance was measured in dependence on the CO concentration in humid synthetic air at a constant temperature of 300 °C. The sensors show a high sensitivity at low CO concentrations and turn out to be largely insensitive towards changes in the relative humidity.

The hydrogen sensing characteristics with air as reference gas is reported. The sensors were capable of detecting hydrogen concentrations from 10 ppm to 10% in nitrogen. The response time was in the range of 10-30 s and a stable linear current output was observed.

This paper addresses the issue of data analysis for identification of gases in a gas sensor array. We introduce a software tool for gas sensor array configuration and simulation. It concerns thereby about a modular software package for the acquisition of data of different sensors. A signal evaluation algorithm referred to as matrix method was used specifically for the software tool. This matrix method computes the gas concentrations from the signals of a sensor array. The software tool was used for the simulation of an array of five sensors to determine gas concentration of CH4, NH3, H2, CO and C2H5OH. The results of the present simulated sensor array indicate that the software tool is capable of the following: (a) identify a gas independently of its concentration; (b) estimate the concentration of the gas, even if the system was not previously exposed to this concentration; (c) tell when a gas concentration exceeds a certain value. A gas sensor data base was build for the configuration of the software. With the data base one can create, generate and manage scenarios and source files for the simulation. With the gas sensor data base and the simulation software an on-line Web-based version was developed, with which the user can configure and simulate sensor arrays on-line.

The developed system allows the identification and selection of “good” ISFETs at the earliest stage and to avoid expensive bonding, encapsulation and packaging processes for nonfunctioning ISFETs and thus, to decrease costs, which are wasted for bad dies. The developed system is also feasible for wafer-level characterisation of ISFETs in terms of sensitivity, hysteresis and response time. Additionally, the system might be also utilised for wafer-level testing of further electrochemical sensors.

Alle 6 Emotionen sind in verschiedenen Intensitätsgraden und Variationen behandelt, wobei die Emotion der Freude aufgrund ihrer engen Bindung zum Harlekin-Charakter vergleichsweise umfassender bearbeitet wurde. Das Endergebnis stellt eine Bildreihe von ca. 50 Ausdrücken und eine Abhandlung über Gesichtsmuskulatur und -ausdruck, dessen Relation zu den Emotionen und den Hintergrund des Harlekincharakters dar.

N2 - The content and goal of this work is the design of a harlequin-character and the depiction of his range of expression. The focal point lies on the study of the facial muscles, their formal vocabulary and their relation to the 6 basic emotions sadness, anger, fear, joy, disgust and surprise (after Paul Ekman's model). All 6 emotions are treated in different intensities and variations, whereas the emotion of joy is handled in a more profound way because of its close relationship to the harlequin-character. The end result is a series of illustrations of approx. 50 expressions and a treatise on the topic of facial musculature and expression, their relationship to emotions and the background of the harlequin-character.
