In this contribution a machine vision inspection system is presented which is designed as a length measuring sensor. It is developed to be applied to a range of heat shrink tubes, varying in length, diameter and color. The challenges of this task were the precision and accuracy demands as well as the real-time applicability of the entire approach since it should be realized in regular industrial line production. In production, heat shrink tubes are cut to specific sizes from a continuous tube. A multi-measurement strategy has been developed, which measures each individual tube segment several times with sub pixel accuracy while being in the visual field. The developed approach allows for a contact-free and fully automatic control of 100% of produced heat shrink tubes according to the given requirements with a measuring precision of 0.1mm. Depending on the color, length and diameter of the tubes considered, a true positive rate of 99.99% to 100% has been reached at a true negative rate of > 99.7.

In the presented project, new approaches for the prevention of hand movements leading to hazards and for non-contact detection of fingers are intended to permit comprehensive and economical protection on circular saws. The basic principles may also be applied to other machines with manual loading and/or unloading. Two new detection principles are explained. The first is the distinction between skin and wood or other material by spectral analysis in the near infrared region. Using LED and photodiodes it is possible to detect fingers and hands reliable. With a kind of light curtain the intrusion into the dangerous zone near the blade can be prevented. The second principle is video image processing to detect persons, arms and fingers. In the first stage of development the detection of upper limb extremities within a defined hazard area by means of a computer based video image analysis is investigated.
A Bicycle Simulator Based on a Motion Platform in a Virtual Reality Environment - FIVIS Project
(2007)
The objective of the FIVIS project is to develop a bicycle simulator which is able to simulate real life bicycle ride situations as a virtual scenario within an immersive environment. A sample test bicycle is mounted on a motion platform to enable a close to reality simulation of turns and balance situations. The visual field of the bike rider is enveloped within a multi-screen visualization environment which provides visual data relative to the motion and activity of the test bicycle. This implies the bike rider has to pedal and steer the bicycle as they would a traditional bicycle, while forward motion is recorded and processed to control the visualization. Furthermore, the platform is fed with real forces and accelerations that have been logged by a mobile data acquisition system during real bicycle test drives. Thus, using a feedback system makes the movements of the platform reflect the virtual environment and the reaction of the driver (e.g. steering angle, step rate).
In this paper we present an ongoing research work dedicated to a Virtual-Reality-based product customization application development. The work is addressing the problem of flexible and quick customization of products from a great number of parts. Our application is an effective instrument that can be simultaneously used by two users for rapid assembly tasks, allowing engineers and designers to work collaboratively. Furthermore, it is directly connected to a manufacturing environment, which is able to produce the product right after customization. In the paper we describe the architecture of the application, our interaction and assembly techniques, and explain how the system can be integrated into a manufacturing environment.
Video Surveillance is in the center of research due to high importance of safety and security issues. Usually, humans have to monitor an area and often they have to do this for 24 hours a day. Thus, it would be desirable to have automatic surveillance systems that support this job automatically. The system described in this paper is such an automatic surveillance system that has been developed to detect several dangerous situations in a subway station. This paper discusses the high-level module of the system. Herein, an expert system is used to detect events.
Todays Virtual Environment frameworks use scene graphs to represent virtual worlds. We believe that this is a proper technical approach, but a VE framework should try to model its application area as accurate as possible. Therefore a scene graph is not the best way to represent a virtual world. In this paper we present an easily extensible model to describe entities in the virtual world. Further on we show how this model drives the design of our VE framework and how it is integrated.

Elektronik für Entscheider

Die Entwicklung, Produktion und Vermarktung elektronischer Güter ist ein bedeutender Wirtschaftsfaktor, an dem Menschen mit verschiedenen Ausbildungen beteiligt sind. Um Produkte zum richtigen Preis, mit den richtigen Eigenschaften und zum richtigen Zeitpunkt anbieten zu können, müssen die Verantwortlichen eines Projektes miteinander über Projektziele kommunizieren können.
Dieses Buch ist für Manager, Betriebswirte, Juristen, PR-Fachleute und Journalisten geschrieben, aber auch für Informatiker und Ingenieure aus allen Fachgebieten, die sich beruflich mit Produkten der Elektronik beschäftigen. Ihnen wird die Möglichkeit gegeben, sich ein Stück auf das Gebiet der Elektronik zu begeben, um sowohl Aufgaben als auch Sprache und Vorgehensweise von Elektroingenieuren zu verstehen. Ziel ist es dabei nicht, nach dem Lesen dieses Buches eine elektronische Schaltung entwickeln zu können. Im Vordergrund steht vielmehr ein generelles Verständnis für die Zusammenhänge und Grundbegriffe der Elektronik.
Technik ist heutzutage allgegenwärtig und beeinflusst Wirtschaft und Gesellschaft. Die Bundesrepublik Deutschland erwirtschaftet als Industriestaat ihr Bruttosozialprodukt zu einem bedeutenden Anteil aus der Entwicklung und Produktion von technischen Gütern. Hieran sind Personen mit unterschiedlicher Ausbildung in verschiedenen Tätigkeiten beteiligt. Ingenieure kümmern sich um die Technik, Betriebswirte um die Finanzen, Juristen um rechtliche Fragen. So zumindest die Theorie.
