Ziel eines aktuellen Forschungsprojektes an der Hochschule Reutlingen, das gemeinsam mit dem Ingenieurbüro Ganssloser und der Universität Tübingen durchgeführt wird, ist es, Flexibilitäten in Unternehmen, die im Verbund als virtuelles Kraftwerk am Strommarkt agieren, zu erkennen und nutzbar zu machen. Zu diesem Zweck soll eine Steuerbox für Industrie- und Gewerbebetriebe entwickelt werden, die einerseits mit der zentralen Leitwarte des virtuellen Kraftwerks kommuniziert und andererseits die Anlagen des Unternehmens so steuert, dass die zur Verfügung stehenden Flexibilitäten möglichst optimal genutzt werden. Die Hochschule Reutlingen beschäftigt sich innterhalb des Projekts mit der Erkennung und Beschreibung von Flexibilitäten in Unternehmen.
Saving energy and road safety became important in the last decades, hence several driving assistant systems were developed that help to improve the driving behaviour. However, these driving systems cover the area of either energy-efficiency or safety. Furthermore, they do not consider the reaction of the driver to a shown recommendation and the driver stress level. In this paper, the decision process of showing a recommendation to the driver in an energy-efficient and safety relevant driving system is presented. The decision process considers the driver's reaction to a shown recommendation and the driver stress in order to increase the user acceptance and the road safety. The results of the evaluation showed that the driving system was able to show recommendations when needed, while suppressing recommendations when the driver ignored a recommendation repeatedly or when the driver was in stress.
Though bioprinting is a forward-looking approach in bone tissue engineering, the development of bioinks which are on the one hand processable with the chosen printing technique, and on the other hand possess the relevant mechanical as well as osteoconductive features remains a challenge. In the present study, polymer solutions based on methacrylated gelatin and methacrylated hyaluronic acid modified with hydroxyapatite (HAp) particles (5 wt%) were prepared. Encapsulation of primary human adipose derived stem cells in the HAp-containing gels and culture for 28 d resulted in a storage moduli significantly increased to 126% ± 9.6% compared to the value on day 1 by the sole influence of the HAp. Additional use of osteogenic media components resulted in an increase of storage module up to 199% ± 27.8%. Similarly, the loss moduli was increased to 370% ± 122.1% under the influence of osteogenic media components and HAp. Those changes in rheological material characteristics indicate a distinct change in elastic and viscous hydrogel properties, and are attributed to extensive matrix production in the hydrogels by the encapsulated cells, what could also be proven by staining of bone matrix components like collagen I, fibronectin, alkaline phosphatase and osteopontin. When using the cell-laden polymer solutions as bioinks to build up relevant geometries, the ink showed excellent printability and the printed grid structure's integrity remained intact over a culture time of 28 d. Again, an intense matrix formation as well as upregulation of osteogenic markers by the encapsulated cells could be shown. In conclusion, we demonstrated that our HAp-containing bioinks and hydrogels on basis of methacrylated gelatin and hyaluronic acid are on the one hand highly suitable for the build up of relevant three-dimensional geometries with microextrusion bioprinting, and on the other hand exhibit a significant positive effect on bone matrix development and remodeling in the hydrogels, as indicated by rheological measurements and staining of bone components. This makes the developed composite hydrogels an excellent material for bone bioprinting approaches.
Despite the significant potential offered by the powder coating process for finishing wood-based materials, until now it has been used almost exclusively for coating Medium Density Fiber Board (MDF). A research project aims to develop processes and substrate materials that will allow lightweight boards to be powder coated.
Um einen Funksensor zum Messen der Windgeschwindigkeit per Energy Harvesting mit Energie zu versorgen, bietet es sich an, das Messsignal selbst zur Energiegewinnung zu nutzen. Mit optimierter Funkübertragung und Energiemanagement lässt sich ein autarker Windstärke-Funksensor realisieren, der ab 2 m/s Windgeschwindigkeiten messen und die Messwerte per Funk übertragen kann.
Learning factories present a promising environment for education, training and research, especially in manufacturing related areas which are a main driver for wealth creation in any nation. While numerous learning factories have been built in industry and academia in the last decades, a comprehensive scientific overview of the topic is still missing. This paper intends to close this gap establishing the state of the art of learning factories. The motivations, historic background, and the didactic foundations of learning factories are outlined. Definitions of the term learning factory and the corresponding morphological model are provided. An overview of existing learning factory approaches in industry and academia is provided, showing the broad range of different applications and varying contents. The state of the art of learning factories curricula design and their use to enhance learning and research as well as potentials and limitations are presented. Conclusions and an outlook on further research priorities are offered.
Das Knie ist das am häufigsten von Verletzungen betroffene Gelenk beim Skifahren. Durch die Messung bestimmter Einflussfaktoren, wie Kniewinkel und Muskelaktivität, kann eine Aussage über die Wahrscheinlichkeit einer drohenden Verletzung getroffen werden. Diese Daten können als Basis genutzt werden, um eine entsprechende Reaktion des Bindungssystems des Skis hervorzurufen. Durch die automatische Auslösung der Skibindung bei der Überschreitung der Grenzwerte wird das Knie entlastet, um möglichen Verletzungen vorzubeugen. Im Rahmen eines Forschungsprojekts der TU München wurde von einem Team der TU München und der Hochschule Reutlingen eine Skiunterhose entwickelt, mit der in Echtzeit der Kniewinkel erfasst und drahtlos an eine Auswerteeinheit gesendet werden kann.
