Thermally driven adsorption refrigerators, which transform available low-temperature waste heat (from processes, engines, solar radiation, district heat) into useful cooling energy, are a very promising and green technology to reduce the demand for primary energy. To improve their refrigeration performance, new zeolite/aluminum composite adsorbents with optimized sorption transfer properties were prepared following partial support transformation technique. A direct binderless contact between...
Connected factories offer more and possibilities to bring business logic in the industrial related components like control systems (ICS). These operational technology (OT) sector are usually harder update maintain compared IT systems. In recent years, number of cyberattacks that specifically tailored OT has increased. We analyzed BlackEnergy 3 (BE3), Crashoverride (CO), Trisis (TS). After describing occurrences these attacks, we looked for similar strategies between three approaches propose...
Establishing adequate cybersecurity for their operational technology (OT) is an existential challenge manufacturing enterprises. Domain-specific security standards should provide essential support in this challenge. However, they cannot be implemented equally enterprises of all sizes.We investigate to what extent domain-specific are applicable by small and medium-sized as well large enterprises, how individual need action can identified addressed. We our investigation with the results two...
This paper addresses the problem of efficiently operating a flexible manufacturing machine in an electricity micro-grid featuring high volatility prices. The finding optimal control policy is formulated as sequential decision making under uncertainty where, at every time step comes from lack knowledge about fu-ture consumption and future weather dependent energy We propose to address this using deep reinforcement learning. To purpose, we designed learning architecture forecast load profile...
This paper describes the Digital Responsibility Goals, their purpose, and associated guiding criteria relevance particularly for health. In addition, document makes a first proposal measuring digital responsibility.
CO 2 is the main determining factor for global climate change. For this reason, emissions of gas have to be reduced as much and quickly possible. This paper discusses possibility realize a -neutral heat power supply single multi-family homes. There been lot studies in past, well several unsuccessful-attempts commercialize such system. However, presents new simple 1 kW el setup smart combined (CHP) plant offers solutions deficiencies previously published demonstrated systems. A commercial...
In this paper the NutriScale-Algorithm is described. NutriScale interprets meals and calculates health related scores. It based on a food pyramid, which was created by German Nutrition Society according to existing evidence medical guidelines. Furthermore various mobile phone apps professional desktop applications were analyzed figure out, what functionality data sources are appropriate create such promising key for selection like NutriScale.
This paper presents approaches for solving exploration and pushing tasks of an autonomous mobile robot. To solve these the robot is equipped with a two dimensional, three degree-of-freedom SCARA arm. The arm has tactile sensors on sides at tip. With it able to explore environment inside its workspace. Using information obtained by exploration, can push obstacles aside, so that clear passage created results in considerable increase mobility proposed algorithms are implemented both simulation real
Abstract In the upcoming years, internet of things (IoT) will enrich daily life. The combination artificial intelligence (AI) and highly interoperable systems bring contextsensitive multi-domain services to reality. This paper describes a concept for an AI-based smart living platform with open- HAB, home middleware, andWeb Things (WoT) as key components our approach. considers different stakeholders, i.e. housing industry, service providers, tenants. These activities are part Fore- Sight...
Kurzfassung Der vorliegende Beitrag vergleicht die Herausforderungen im weiteren Vorantreiben der vierten industriellen Revolution mit denen fortschreitenden Heimautomatisierung. Daran anknüpfend werden Industrie- bzw. Wohnumfeld bereits bekannte Lösungsansätze gegenübergestellt, um Synergien zur effizienten gemeinsamen Weiterentwicklung beider Anwendungsfelder zu ermitteln.
Abstract Robot-based service platforms are currently establishing themselves as new and affordable variants for supporting care in elderly, retirement nursing homes. Many open multifunctional platforms, which can potentially be integrated into such environments, if the necessary infrastructure is available. Furthermore, many services realized on these used to foster distant interactions between inhabitants care-providers, while simultaneously keeping up quality of life inhabitants. Open...
Abstract This contribution describes how to improve privacy and security for the Smart Living domain. Core elements of this approach adapt Privacy by Design concept domain smart living extend it enable artificial intelligence integration. To security, we created a minimum framework based on an existing information management system offer holistic perspective that topic. This, think, is necessary, primarily if legacy Internet Things devices should be supported
Abstract. In contrast to conventional hydronic heating systems, in which the air is used as a medium for convective heat transfer, an alternative approach based on usage of infrared (IR) radiant foils. These foils, are applied walls and ceiling laboratory, can be controlled individually. This leads possibility room zonewise only when person present zone. A local comfortable climate provided occupied zones, with remaining zones being kept at lower base temperature. Consequently, measurement...
The interest in artificial intelligence (AI) and its use industrial production is growing steadily. increasingly known machine learning, however, only one of several AI technologies emerging from basic research. Another subarea represent the so-called semantic technologies, which play a decisive role especially knowledge management. They allow to be structured processed such way that it can used for targeted support complex, knowledge-intensive tasks. Especially during design systems, have...
Abstract All aspects of daily life increasingly include digitization. So-called „smart home“ technologies, as well „wearables“, are gaining attention from more and dwellers. Therefore, sensor-based, individualized, AI-based services for improved post-intervention monitoring therapy accompaniment will become feasible possible if these systems offer a related context-awareness. This paper provides an approach on how to sense interpret specific contexts with the help wearables, smartwatches,...
