Since more than 15 years it is accredited, currently by the national accreditation body (DAkkS), and offers its service also to external entities on a global scale. As a public provider, we are furthermore committed to research and development activities that demand measurements with highest quality and low level of uncertainties. Two R&D examples are highlighted within this contribution.

The LoRaWAN (Long Range Wide Area Network) is used as a communication interface to make important sensor data globally accessible. The goal of the development is to create a sensor node and an online and offline solution that collects the data from the sensor nodes and stores it on a local server or in a cloud. In cooperation with the companies WISTA GmbH and IONOS, a test sensor network is going to be established in the Berlin-Adlershof area.

T1 - Fibre optic ratiometric fluorescence pH sensor for monitoring corrosion in concrete JF - Analyst N2 - In this communication a novel concept for pH sensing is introduced which is specifically adapted to monitor carbonation induced corrosion in concrete structures. The method is based on a ratiometric measurement principle, exploiting the pH sensitive colour switching of thymol blue in the basic pH regime and the emissive properties of two different (Zn)CdSe/ZnS core shell quantum dots. The transition point of thymol blue in a Hydrogel D4 matrix was determined to be at around pH 11.6, which fits ideally to the intended application. Next to the fundamental spectroscopic characterization of the ratiometric response, a new design for a sensor head, suitable for the incorporation into concrete matrices is presented. Toward this, a manufacturing process was developed which includes the preparation of a double layer of polymers containing either thymol blue or a quantum dot mixture inside a porous ceramic tube. Results of a proof-of-priciple performance test of the sensor head in solutions of different pH and in cement specimens are presented, with encouraging results paving the way for future field tests in concrete.

T1 - Influence of rotor downwash on vertically displaced nanobots in flight JF - Materials Today: Proceedings N2 - One challenge associated with navigating a nano aerial robot swarm indoors in unstructured environments is, i.a., the limited air space. To avoid an over-regulation of the available indoor air space (e.g., prohibit copters to fly above each other), a safety region around each copter must be defined. In this paper, we investigate the impact of the downwash of a nano-drone on the stability of another nearby nano-drone. In the experiments, we found out that this downwash has a negative influence of a second nano-drone in a distance of around 1 m vertically and 0.2 m horizontally. Based on the obtained data, we developed a model describing the above-mentioned safety region to enable a safe operation of the swarm in these environments with fewer constraints.

The implementation into a semi-automatic gas measurement device enables low-cost, precise, simple and fast monitoring of low con-centrations of harmful gases, like ammonia, and hence can help to improve the climate monitoring in livestock housing, barns or stables.

In the past, many bridges and road structures have been neglected, often resulting in traffic congestion, road closure, and increased repair costs. This research is concerned with the development of a system to improve the challenge of maintenance and early detection of damage, particularly moisture penetration and corrosion of steel reinforced concrete components. The objective is to develop a method that will also work after 30 years and longer. Many new IoT solutions are equipped with internal energy storage elements (accumulators or batteries) which are inappropriate here, since most relevant signs of concrete degradation occur after decades, where the functioning of such elements are more than questionable. The presented technology approach uses radio-frequency identification (RFID) and enables connectivity to sensors. It offers the advantage of an passive, completely independent energy supply without any energy storage components. Since the system should be permanently embedded in concrete, it is crucial to develop a long-term stable device which is adapted to the environmental influences of the structure, e.g., long-term resistance in very alkaline environment of pH 13. In numerous experiments, the robustness of the system was tested and evaluated. Various tests with encapsulations to protect the electronics were performed, and for long-term validation different concrete specimens were instrumented with RFID-sensor-systems. Their operating time is now around two years and investigations for signs of fatigue and damage to the encapsulation and the electronics are ongoing.

IMS-Anwendertreffen N2 - IMS trägt zur Luftfrachtsicherheit bei Geltende Luftsicherheitsgesetze verpflichten Luftsicherheitsbehörden, Flughafenbetreiber und Fluggesellschaften umfassende Sicherheitsmaßnahmen auf den Flughäfen zu ergreifen, um die Gefahr möglicher terroristischer Bedrohungen zu erkennen und zu verhindern. Wenn ein verdächtiges Objekt durch Röntgenstrahlen identifiziert wurde, kann die IMS als schnelles Analyseverfahren vor Ort orthogonal zur Radiologie eingesetzt werden, um chemische Informationen über Gefahrstoffe wie Sprengstoffe oder Drogen vor dem Abflug zu erhalten. Vor der Detektion von Sprengstoffen beginnt die Untersuchung eines verdächtigen Objekts mit der Probenahme mittels Wischprobensammlern. Eine Luftsicherheitskontrollkraft wischt dabei Oberflächen des Objekts mit einem Probensammler ab, um Partikel von Gefahrstoffen zu sammeln. Der beladene Probensammler wird anschließend in einen Probeneinlass eingeführt. Nach thermischer Desorption der gesammelten Stoffe erhält der Bediener (z. B. Luftsicherheitskontrollkraft) ein boolesches Ergebnis - "Alarm" oder "Kein Alarm". Verfahren und Ergebnisse In dieser Studie wurden drei Verfahren mit vier ECAC-zertifizierten ETD-Geräten zur Entwicklung eines Unsicherheitskonzeptes bezüglich der Probenahme (PN) angewandt: I) direkte Probenaufnahme durch lösemittelbasierten Auftrag einer bekannten Sprengstoffmenge auf einem Probensammler, II) Auftragung einer bekannten Menge eines gelösten Sprengstoffs auf einem 10 cm × 10 cm Substrat (Aluminium, Papier, Eisen und Polyvinylchlorid) und manuelle PN nach Lösemittelverdampfung, III) lösemittelbasierter Sprengstoffauftrag auf eine PTFE- oder PTFE-beschichtete Glasfaseroberfläche, nach Lösemittelverdunstung trockene Übertragung auf das zu beprobende Substrat zur PN. Nach dem binären Regressionsverfahren wurde die funktionale Abhängigkeit der Detektionswahrscheinlichkeit von einer bekannten Sprengstoffmasse mit einer Logit-Funktion beschrieben: POD=1/(1+e^(-A·(m-B))). Dabei ist POD die Wahrscheinlichkeit der Detektion für eine bekannte Sprengstoff-Masse, die Parameter A (logistische Wachstumsrate der Kurve) und B (m-Wert des Mittelpunktes des Sigmoids) sind geschätzte Parameter nach der Methode der kleinsten Quadrate, und m ist die Sprengstoffmasse. Das entwickelte Messunsicherheitsmodell kombiniert quantitative Ergebnisse aus Wägen, Lösen und Pipettieren sowie qualitative Ergebnisse - "Alarm" oder "Kein Alarm" und die Unsicherheit der PN. Identifizierte Unsicherheitsursachen sind die Durchführung der Wischprobenahme, Staub, Lösemitteleffekte und die Unsicherheit bei der Herstellung von Testlösungen. T2 - 8.
