The artificial olfactory image was proposed by Lundström et al. in 1991 as a new strategy for an electronic nose system which generated a two-dimensional mapping to be interpreted as a fingerprint of the detected gas species. 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.
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.
Generating synthetic LiDAR point cloud data for object detection using the Unreal Game Engine
(2024)
Object detection based on artificial intelligence is ubiquitous in today’s computer vision research and application. The training of the neural networks for object detection requires large and high-quality datasets. Besides datasets based on image data, datasets derived from point clouds offer several advantages. However, training datasets are sparse and their generation requires a lot of effort, especially in industrial domains. A solution to this issue offers the generation of synthetic point cloud data. Based on the design science research method, the work at hand proposes an approach and its instantiation for generating synthetic point cloud data based on the Unreal Engine. The point cloud quality is evaluated by comparing the synthetic cloud to a real-world point cloud. Within a practical example the applicability of the Unreal Game engine for synthetic point cloud generation could be successfully demonstrated.
The FAYMONVILLE case study describes how the family-owned company Faymonville from eastern Belgium has succeeded in becoming one of the leading manufacturers in its sector. The targeted identification of new markets, the focus on relevant customer needs, and a consistent product policy with a coordinated manufacturing concept lay the foundations for success. In this case study, students can learn about how a company can successfully resolve the fundamental contradiction between economic and customized production.
Methane is a valuable energy source helping to mitigate the growing energy demand worldwide. However, as a potent greenhouse gas, it has also gained additional attention due to its environmental impacts. The biological production of methane is performed primarily hydrogenotrophically from H2 and CO2 by methanogenic archaea. Hydrogenotrophic methanogenesis also represents a great interest with respect to carbon re-cycling and H2 storage. The most significant carbon source, extremely rich in complex organic matter for microbial degradation and biogenic methane production, is coal. Although interest in enhanced microbial coalbed methane production is continuously increasing globally, limited knowledge exists regarding the exact origins of the coalbed methane and the associated microbial communities, including hydrogenotrophic methanogens. Here, we give an overview of hydrogenotrophic methanogens in coal beds and related environments in terms of their energy production mechanisms, unique metabolic pathways, and associated ecological functions.
Incontrare, was übersetzt Begegnung bedeutet, ist ein Konferenztischkonzept, der durch seinen modularen
Aufbau heraus sticht. Dem Kunden ist es möglich das Produkt mit einem einzigen Werkzeug - fünfer Imbusschlüssel - aufzubauen. Der modulare Aufbau bietet die Möglichkeit kundenorientiert ein Produkt zusammensetzen zu können. Incontrare bietet hierdurch eine Vielzahl an Variationen, die nicht nur die gestalterischen Aspekte anspricht, sondern auch verschiedene Preisklassen abdeckt. Incontrare ist ein Tischkonzept, das sowohl im niederpreisigen , sowie auch im HighEnd Bereich funktioniert.
To gain insight on chemical sterilization processes, the influence of temperature (up to 70 °C), intense green light, and hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂) concentration (up to 30% in aqueous solution) on microbial spore inactivation is evaluated by in-situ Raman spectroscopy with an optical trap. Bacillus atrophaeus is utilized as a model organism. Individual spores are isolated and their chemical makeup is monitored under dynamically changing conditions (temperature, light, and H₂O₂ concentration) to mimic industrially relevant process parameters for sterilization in the field of aseptic food processing. While isolated spores in water are highly stable, even at elevated temperatures of 70 °C, exposure to H₂O₂ leads to a loss of spore integrity characterized by the release of the key spore biomarker dipicolinic acid (DPA) in a concentration-dependent manner, which indicates damage to the inner membrane of the spore. Intensive light or heat, both of which accelerate the decomposition of H₂O₂ into reactive oxygen species (ROS), drastically shorten the spore lifetime, suggesting the formation of ROS as a rate-limiting step during sterilization. It is concluded that Raman spectroscopy can deliver mechanistic insight into the mode of action of H₂O₂-based sterilization and reveal the individual contributions of different sterilization methods acting in tandem.
Ingenieurwissenschaften im Fokus: Zugänge zu einem effektiven Forschungsdatenmanagement an HAW
(2024)
Im Rahmen der Love Data Week vom 12. bis 16.02.2024 haben die BMBF-Projekte FDM2_TH_Koeln der TH Köln (FK 16FDFH105) und Persist@HAW der FH Aachen (FK 16FDFH129) am 15.02.2024 gemeinsam eine Online-Veranstaltung mit dem Titel „Ingenieurwissenschaften im Fokus: Zugänge zu einem effektiven Forschungsdatenmanagement an HAW“ angeboten. Diese richtete sich an Forschende aus den Ingenieurwissenschaften, die einen ersten Zugang zum Thema Forschungsdatenmanagement (FDM) suchen und erfahren möchten, welche speziellen Angebote für die Daten aus den Ingenieurwissenschaften existieren.
In der Veranstaltung wurden wesentliche Aspekte des Forschungsdatenmanagements entlang des Datenlebenszyklus beleuchtet. Ziel war es, den Teilnehmenden praxisnahe Einblicke und Hilfestellungen zu einem effektiven Umgang mit Forschungsdaten an Hochschulen für Angewandte Wissenschaften (HAW) zu bieten. Durch Beispiele und konkrete Empfehlungen wurde das Thema zugänglich gemacht.

The thermal conductivity of components manufactured using Laser Powder Bed Fusion (LPBF), also called Selective Laser Melting (SLM), plays an important role in their processing. Not only does a reduced thermal conductivity cause residual stresses during the process, but it also makes subsequent processes such as the welding of LPBF components more difficult. This article uses 316L stainless steel samples to investigate whether and to what extent the thermal conductivity of specimens can be influenced by different LPBF parameters. To this end, samples are set up using different parameters, orientations, and powder conditions and measured by a heat flow meter using stationary analysis. The heat flow meter set-up used in this study achieves good reproducibility and high measurement accuracy, so that comparative measurements between the various LPBF influencing factors to be tested are possible. In summary, the series of measurements show that the residual porosity of the components has the greatest influence on conductivity. The degradation of the powder due to increased recycling also appears to be detectable. The build-up direction shows no detectable effect in the measurement series.
