Known state-of-the-art research activities like the Dual GCT, the ETO thyristor and the ICT were presented and critically reviewed. A comparison with commercialized solutions identifies the pros and cons of each type of device family. Based on this analysis, the IETO structure is proposed, covering most benefits of each device class. In particular the combination of a MOS-assisted turn-off with a thyristor-based device allows a voltage-controlled MOS switching and the low on-state voltage of the thyristors. The following synthesis of an IETO device stands on a three-dimensional field of optimization spanned by electric, mechanical and thermal aspects. From an electric point of view, the lowest possible parasitic inductance and resistance within the commutation path are optimization criteria. The mechanical construction has to withstand the required contact pressure of multiple kilo Newtons. Finally, thermal borders limit the maximum average current of the device. FEM simulations covering these three aspects are performed for several design proposals. An IETO prototype is constructed and measurements on various test benches attest thermal, mechanical and electric performance. A local decoupling of the external driver stage and the presspack housing is presented by a cable connection. This separation enables a thermal and mechanical independence, which is advantageous in terms of vibrations and thermal cycles including increased reliability. The electric pulse performance of the prototype device is a factor of 3.1 above today''s solutions. In single-pulse measurements, a current up to 1600 A was successfully turned off at 115°C with an active silicon area of 823 mm². One reason for this increased turn-off capability is the extremely low-inductive construction. Additional functionality of the IETO thyristor like over-current self-protection and defined short-circuit failure state are successfully verified.

In particular, we are interested in two problems that arise from this inverse problem: the inverse conductivity problem and the corresponding interior transmission eigenvalue problem. The inverse conductivity problem is to recover the conductive boundary parameter from the measured scattering data. We prove that the measured scatted data uniquely determine the conductivity parameter as well as describe a direct algorithm to recover the conductivity. The interior transmission eigenvalue problem is an eigenvalue problem associated with the inverse scattering of such materials. We investigate the convergence of the eigenvalues as the conductivity parameter tends to zero as well as prove existence and discreteness for the case of an absorbing media. Lastly, several numerical and analytical results support the theory and we show that the inside–outside duality method can be used to reconstruct the interior conductive eigenvalues.

It shows how the pendulum is embedded in an advanced course of control engineering. This approach is incorporated into a flipped-classroom concept, as well as classical teaching concepts, offering students practical experience in control engineering. In addition, the design of the pendulum is shown, using a Raspberry Pi as the target platform for Matlab Simulink. This pendulum can be used in the classroom to evaluate the controller design mentioned above. It is analysed if the use of the pendulum generates a deeper understanding of the learning contents.

That is applied to characterize laminar and turbulent behaviour of the Couette flow, including its transition in both directions. The Couette flow is chosen as the only flow form with constant shear stress over the flow profile, being laminar, turbulent or both. The local dissipation defines quantitative and stable criteria for the transition and the existence of turbulence. There are basic results: The Navier Stokes equations cannot describe the experimental flow profiles of the turbulent Couette flow. But they are used to quantify the dissipation of turbulent fluctuation. The dissipation minimum requires turbulent structures reaching maximum macroscopic dimensions, describing turbulence as a “non-local” phenomenon. At the transition the Couette flow profiles and the shear stress change by a factor ≅ 5 due to a change of the “apparent” turbulent viscosity by a calculated factor ≅ 27. The resulting difference of the laminar and the turbulent profiles results in two different Reynolds numbers and different loci of transition, which are identified by calculation.

Das Ziel war es die Emotionen der Schauspieler in einen Animationsfilm authentisch zu implementieren. Um den Animationsfilm situationsgerecht erzählen zu können, wurde das Verständnis für Trauer in den Vordergrund gestellt. Dazu wurden digitale Drehs durchgeführt und viele Bereiche der 3D Gestaltung angewendet. Viele der Betroffenen erleben besonders in den ersten Tagen nach dem Verlust ihres Kindes nicht das notwendige Verständnis für ihre Trauer. Diese Projektarbeit möchte aufzeigen, wie unterschiedlich Menschen trauern und wie sie sich in ihrer Verschiedenheit verlieren können, besonders wenn es um das gemeinsame Kind geht. Wenn ein Kind im Sterben liegt, steht für die Eltern sein Wohlbefinden an erster Stelle. Sie wollen alles richtig machen. Der Protagonist des Films (Teo) und seine Frau Mia haben jedoch unterschiedliche Vorstellung davon, was das Richtige ist und auch nach dem Tod ihres Kindes haben sie unterschiedliche Bewältigungsstrategien, um mit diesem Schicksalsschlag umzugehen. Einer der Gründe, warum 80% der Ehepaare sich nach so einem Schicksalsschlag trennen liegt in genau dieser Problematik, weswegen es wichtig ist, diese Thematik zu beleuchten.

Diese Arbeit liefert mittels authentischer Fotografien von Räumlichkeiten und Details sowie durch intensive Porträts von drei Bewohnenden einen realistischen Einblick in ein Hospiz. Durch diese Aufnahmen werden die Betrachtenden mit dem Thema „Tod“ konfrontiert und es so diesem Thema näher gebracht, um eventuelle Vorurteile einer solchen Einrichtung gegenüber abzulegen. Innerhalb des Bildbands sieht man Fotografien von Fluren, Dekoration, Räumen und Porträtaufnahmen. Begleitend zu den Porträtfotos der Bewohnenden finden sich im Bildband Berichte der selbigen, über ihre alltäglichen Gedanken im Umgang mit dem bevorstehenden eigenen Lebensende. Im Zuge der Recherche zu diesem Projekt hat außerdem ein ausführliches Interview mit einer Pflegekraft des thematisierten Hospizes dabei geholfen, einen realistischen Einblick in die Arbeit vor Ort zu bekommen.
