This paper describes the realization of a novel neurocomputer which is based on the concepts of a coprocessor. In contrast to existing neurocomputers the main interest was the realization of a scalable, flexible system, which is capable of computing neural networks of arbitrary topology and scale, with full independence of special hardware from the software's point of view. On the other hand, computational power should be added, whenever needed and flexibly adapted to the requirements of the application. Hardware independence is achieved by a run time system which is capable of using all available computing power, including multiple host CPUs and an arbitrary number of neural coprocessors autonomously. The realization of arbitrary neural topologies is provided through the implementation of the elementary operations which can be found in most neural topologies.
The transition within transportation towards battery electric vehicles can lead to a more sustainable future. To account for the development goal ‘climate action’ stated by the United Nations, it is mandatory, within the conceptual design phase, to derive energy-efficient system designs. One barrier is the uncertainty of the driving behaviour within the usage phase. This uncertainty is often addressed by using a stochastic synthesis process to derive representative driving cycles and by using cycle-based optimization. To deal with this uncertainty, a new approach based on a stochastic optimization program is presented. This leads to an optimization model that is solved with an exact solver. It is compared to a system design approach based on driving cycles and a genetic algorithm solver. Both approaches are applied to find efficient electric powertrains with fixed-speed and multi-speed transmissions. Hence, the similarities, differences and respective advantages of each optimization procedure are discussed.
The course Physics for Electrical Engineering is part of the curriculum of the
bachelor program Electrical Engineering at University of Applied Science Aachen.
Before covid-19 the course was conducted in a rather traditional way with all parts
(lecture, exercise and lab) face-to-face. This teaching approach changed
fundamentally within a week when the covid-19 limitations forced all courses to
distance learning. All parts of the course were transformed to pure distance learning
including synchronous and asynchronous parts for the lecture, live online-sessions
for the exercises and self-paced labs at home. Using these methods, the course was
able to impart the required knowledge and competencies. Taking the teacher’s
observations of the student’s learning behaviour and engagement, the formal and
informal feedback of the students and the results of the exams into account, the new
methods are evaluated with respect to effectiveness, sustainability and suitability for
competence transfer. Based on this analysis strong and weak points of the concept
and countermeasures to solve the weak points were identified. The analysis further
leads to a sustainable teaching approach combining synchronous and asynchronous
parts with self-paced learning times that can be used in a very flexible manner for
different learning scenarios, pure online, hybrid (mixture of online and presence
times) and pure presence teaching.
