In dieser Arbeit wird eine optimierte Bandgap-Referenz zur Erzeugung einer temperaturstabilen Spannung und eines Referenzstroms vorgestellt. Für Low-Power-Anwendungen wurde die Bandgap-Referenz, basierend auf der Brokaw-Zelle, mit minimaler Stromaufnahme und optimierter Chipfläche durch Multi-Emitter-Layout der Bipolartransistoren implementiert. Zusätzliches Merkmal ist ein verbreiteter Versorgungsspannungsbereich von 2,5 bis 5,5 V. Simulationen zeigen, dass eine stabile Ausgangsspannung von 1,218 V und ein Referenzstrom von 1,997 μA realisiert wird. Im Temperaturbereich -40 °C … 50 °C sowie dem gesamten Bereich der Versorgungsspannung beträgt die Genauigkeit der Referenzspannung ± 0,04 % mit einer Gesamtstromaufnahme zwischen 3,5 und 10 μA. Es wird eine Temperaturdrift von 2,18 ppm/K erreicht. Durch das elektronische Trimmen von Widerständen wird der Offset der Ausgangsspannung, bedingt durch Herstellungstoleranzen, auf ±3,5 mV justiert. Die Referenz wird in einer 0,18 μm BiCMOS-Technologie implementiert.
In this paper, it aims to model wind speed time series at multiple sites. The five-parameter Johnson distribution is deployed to relate the wind speed at each site to a Gaussian time series, and the resultant m-dimensional Gaussian stochastic vector process Z(t) is employed to model the temporal-spatial correlation of wind speeds at m different sites. In general, it is computationally tedious to obtain the autocorrelation functions (ACFs) and cross-correlation functions (CCFs) of Z(t), which are different to those of wind speed times series. In order to circumvent this correlation distortion problem, the rank ACF and rank CCF are introduced to characterize the temporal-spatial correlation of wind speeds, whereby the ACFs and CCFs of Z(t) can be analytically obtained. Then, Fourier transformation is implemented to establish the cross-spectral density matrix of Z(t), and an analytical approach is proposed to generate samples of wind speeds at m different sites. Finally, simulation experiments are performed to check the proposed methods, and the results verify that the five-parameter Johnson distribution can accurately match distribution functions of wind speeds, and the spectral representation method can well reproduce the temporal-spatial correlation of wind speeds.
A millimeter-wave power amplifier concept in an advanced silicon germanium (SiGe) BiCMOS technology is presented. The goal of the concept is to investigate the impact of physical limitations of the used heterojunction bipolar transistors (HBT) on the performance of a 77 GHz power amplifier. High current behavior, collectorbase breakdown and transistor saturation can be forced with the presented design. The power amplifier is manufactured in an advanced SiGe BiCMOS technology at Infineon Technologies AG with a maximum transit frequency fT of around 250 GHz for npn HBT’s [1]. The simulation results of the power amplifier show a saturated output power of 16 dBm at a power added efficiency of 13%. The test chip is designed for a supply voltage of 3.3 V and requires a chip size of 1.448 x 0.930 mm².
Size and cost of a switched mode power supply can be reduced by increasing the switching frequency. This leads especially at a high input voltage to a decreasing efficiency caused by switching losses. Conventional calculations are not suitable to predict the efficiency as parasitic capacitances have a significant loss contribution. This paper presents an analytical efficiency model which considers parasitic capacitances separately and calculates the power loss contribution of each capacitance to any resistive element. The proposed model is utilized for efficiency optimization of converters with switching frequencies >10MHz and input voltages up to 40V. For experimental evaluation a DCDC converter was manufactured in a 180 nm HV BiCMOS technology. The model matches a transistor level simulation and measurement results with an accuracy better than 3.5 %. The accuracy of the parasitic capacitances of the high voltage transistor determines the overall accuracy of the efficiency model. Experimental capacitor measurements can be fed into the model. Based on the model, different architectures have been studied.
Socially interactive robots with human-like speech synthesis and recognition, coupled with humanoid appearance, are an important subject of robotics and artificial intelligence research. Modern solutions have matured enough to provide simple services to human users. To make the interaction with them as fast and intuitive as possible, researchers strive to create transparent interfaces close to human-human interaction. Because facial expressions play a central role in human-human communication, robot faces were implemented with varying degrees of human-likeness and expressiveness. We propose a way to implement a program that believably animates changing facial expressions and allows to influence them via inter-process communication based on an emotion model. This will can be used to create a screen based virtual face for a robotic system with an inviting appearance to stimulate users to seek interaction with the robot.
In recent years robotic systems have matured enough to perform simple home or office tasks, guide visitors in environments such as museums or stores and aid people in their daily life. To make the interaction with service and even industrial robots as fast and intuitive as possible, researchers strive to create transparent interfaces close to human-human interaction. As facial expressions play a central role in human-human communication, robot faces were implemented with varying degrees of human-likeness and expressiveness. We propose an emotion model to parameterize a screen based facial animation via inter-process communication. A software will animate transitions and add additional animations to make a digital face appear “alive” and equip a robotic system with a virtual face. The result will be an inviting appearance to motivate potential users to seek interaction with the robot.
Simulation eines dezentralen Regelungssystems zur netzdienlichen Erzeugung von grünem Wasserstoff
(2023)
Wasserstoff wird einen bedeutenden Beitrag zum Wandel von Industrie und Gesellschaft in eine klimaneutrale Zukunft leisten. Der Aufbau und die ökologisch und ökonomisch sinnvolle Nutzung einer Wasserstoffinfrastruktur sind hierbei die zentralen Herausforderungen. Ein notwendiger Baustein ist die effiziente Bereitstellung von grünem Strom und dem daraus produzierten grünen Wasserstoff. Der vorliegende Beitrag stellt ein dezentrales Regel- und Kommunikationssystem vor, mit dem Angebot und Nachfrage von grünem Strom und Wasserstoff in einem System aus dezentralen Akteuren in Einklang gebracht werden. In einer hierzu entwickelten Simulationsumgebung wird die Funktion und der Nutzen dieses dezentralen Ansatzes verdeutlicht.
This publication gives a short introduction and overview of the European project SCOUT and introduces a methodology for a holistic approach to record the state of the art in technical (vehicle and connectivity, human factors regarding physiologic and ergonomic level) and non-technical enablers (societal, economic, legal, regulatory and policy level) of connected and automated driving in Europe. The paper addresses beside the technical topics of environmental perception, E/E architecture, actuators and security, the state of the art of the legal framework in the context of connected and automated driving.
For collision and obstacle avoidance as well as trajectory planning, robots usually generate and use a simple 2D costmap without any semantic information about the detected obstacles. Thus a robot’s path planning will simply adhere to an arbitrarily large safety margin around obstacles. A more optimal approach is to adjust this safety margin according to the class of an obstacle. For class prediction, an image processing convolutional neural network can be trained. One of the problems in the development and training of any neural network is the creation of a training dataset. The first part of this work describes methods and free open source software, allowing a fast generation of annotated datasets. Our pipeline can be applied to various objects and environment settings and is extremely easy to use to anyone for synthesising training data from 3D source data. We create a fully synthetic industrial environment dataset with 10 k physically-based rendered images and annotations. Our da taset and sources are publicly available at https://github.com/LJMP/synthetic-industrial-dataset. Subsequently, we train a convolutional neural network with our dataset for costmap safety class prediction. We analyse different class combinations and show that learning the safety classes end-to-end directly with a small dataset, instead of using a class lookup table, improves the quantity and precision of the predictions.
The incudo-malleal joint (IMJ) in the human middle ear is a true diarthrodial joint and it has been known that the flexibility of this joint does not contribute to better middle-ear sound transmission. Previous studies have proposed that a gliding motion between the malleus and the incus at this joint prevents the transmission of large displacements of the malleus to the incus and stapes and thus contributes to the protection of the inner ear as an immediate response against large static pressure changes. However, dynamic behavior of this joint under static pressure changes has not been fully revealed. In this study, effects of the flexibility of the IMJ on middle-ear sound transmission under static pressure difference between the middle-ear cavity and the environment were investigated. Experiments were performed in human cadaveric temporal bones with static pressures in the range of +/- 2 kPa being applied to the ear canal (relative to middle-ear cavity). Vibrational motions of the umbo and the stapes footplate center in response to acoustic stimulation (0.2-8 kHz) were measured using a 3D-Laser Doppler vibrometer for (1) the natural IMJ and (2) the IMJ with experimentally-reduced flexibility. With the natural condition of the IMJ, vibrations of the umbo and the stapes footplate center under static pressure loads were attenuated at low frequencies below the middle-ear resonance frequency as observed in previous studies. After the flexibility of the IMJ was reduced, additional attenuations of vibrational motion were observed for the umbo under positive static pressures in the ear canal (EC) and the stapes footplate center under both positive and negative static EC pressures. The additional attenuation of vibration reached 4~7 dB for the umbo under positive static EC pressures and the stapes footplate center under negative EC pressures, and 7~11 dB for the stapes footplate center under positive EC pressures. The results of this study indicate an adaptive mechanism of the flexible IMJ in the human middle ear to changes of static EC pressure by reducing the attenuation of the middle-ear sound transmission. Such results are expected to be used for diagnosis of the IMJ stiffening and to be applied to design of middle-ear prostheses.
