Diese Pilotstudie zu Musikvideorezeptionen fragt, wie das Kommentieren von User*innen des Musikvideos Tous les mêmes von Stromae auf social media qualitativ (und teilweise auch quantitativ) analysiert werden kann, um herauszufinden, welche Motivation die User*innen haben, Musikvideos anzuschauen, zu interpretieren und zu kommentieren. Die übergreifende Zielsetzung besteht darin, einmalig eine vollständige Kartographierung des Feldes, also eine Analyse aller Kommentare am Beispiel eines Musikvideos vorzunehmen, um erstens Erkenntnis zu gewinnen im Hinblick auf die Motive der User*innen, zweitens neue Forschungsfragen zu generieren und drittens eine akademische Arbeitsmethode zur qualitativen Analyse einer großen Anzahl von Kommentaren zu entwickeln
A two-component system for control and monitoring of solar power towers with molten salt receivers is proposed. The control component consists of a model predictive control applica-tion (MPC) with a flexible objective function and on-line tunable weights, which runs on a In-dustrial PC and uses a reduced order dynamic model of the receiver’s thermal and flow dy-namics. The second component consists of a service-life monitoring unit, which estimates the service-life consumption of the absorber tubes depending on the current mode of operation based on thermal stresses and creep fatigue in the high temperature regime. The calculation of stresses is done based on a detailed finite element study, in which a digital twin of the re-ceiver was developed. By parallelising the model solver, the estimation of service-life con-sumption became capable of real-time operation. The system has been implemented at a test facility in Jülich, Germany, and awaits field experiments. In this paper, the modeling and archi-tecture are presented along simulation results, which were validated on a hardware-in-the-loop test bench. The MPC showed good disturbance rejection while respecting process variable constraints during the simulation studies.
Eye tracking is a measurement technique for determining the orientation and viewing direction of an individual’s eyes. It allows for an evaluation of the individual’s gaze and other related information.There is a wide variety of application areas for eye tracking, however the usage in engineeringindustry is still limited. This paper presents a case study for the use of eye tracking in a testingstation for electrical circuit breakers. The case study aims to evaluate the measurement and analysispossible with the Tobii wearable eye tracking system. From the case study, possibilities, limitationsand considerations for eye tracking in industrial settings are identified and discussed. The paperconcludes that while eye tracking can be used to effectively capture and visualize insightfulinformation, it faces major challenges related to subjectivity in analysis and labour intensiveness.
Process models in industrial applications, e.g. predictive maintenance or automation, are subject to both divergence from the underlying system due to their time-variant nature and to high complexity resulting from a wide operational range being covered. Hence, regression models require high accuracy for the present system state and at the same time need to be valid across the whole system operating space. While accuracy for the current system state can be gained by updating the model on the current data, the overall validity must often be retrieved from historical or design data. We propose a method to find an appropriate compromise for these two demands. A pre-trained artificial neural network (ANN) is continually updated on the current sensor data stream using convex optimisation. Thus, a unique and optimal solution is generated in each update step, while robust regression accuracy on the domain that is not covered by the arriving data subset is maintained. This is achieved by introducing a data management system to provide some historical data, constraining the optimisation problem and manipulating the architecture of the ANN. Models updated with this method show reasonable stability but display plastic behaviour at the current operating point.
Higher control engineering concepts, including artificial intelligence and model-based control, are recently becoming more popular in complex industrial applications because they enable a significant increase in efficiency. E.g., a model-based approach can be used to enhance the control and monitoring of several coupled components of a larger turbomachinery train. This requires dynamic models of the components, including all machine characteristics, which may experience a shift in their behavior over the course of their lifetime. Such changes occur due to natural fouling, wear of sub-components or external effects induced by maintenance measures. To overcome this problem, we model machine-characteristic maps with artificial neural networks, which may be used as part of prediction models in a model predictive control unit. If an appropriate data set is available, this allows us to adapt the model to the current behavior of the machine without requiring in-depth knowledge about the underlying physics of this “concept drift”, as it is known in literature. However, the training of neural networks is usually connected with high computational effort while the task needs to be executed in real-time during operation. Furthermore, in real operating conditions, machine sensors can only provide labeled data from the current operating point of the machine, which can be stationary for long operation periods of up to several months. In general, this yields only an unrepresentative data subset of the machine-characteristics, which is not sufficient to retrain the whole model to a new state. To solve these problems, we firstly reduce the model adaptation to a convex optimization problem, which can be efficiently solved in real-time conditions. Secondly, we use a specialized data management system with which we can integrate historical data to supplement the unrepresentative data subset. In this paper we show the application of the outlined method on a compressor map and discuss the advantages and requirements of the method in the context of modeling applications for industrial turbomachinery.

Camera-based object detection is widely used in safety-critical applications such as advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) and autonomous vehicle research. Road infrastructure has been designed for human vision, so computer vision, with RGB cameras, is a vital source of semantic information from the environment. Sensors, such as LIDAR and RADAR, are also often utilized for these applications; however, cameras provide a higher spatial resolution and color information. The spatial frequency response (SFR), or sharpness of a camera, utilized in object detection systems must be sufficient to allow a detection algorithm to localize objects in the environment over its lifetime reliably. This study explores the relationship between object detection performance and SFR. Six state-of-the-art object detection models are evaluated with varying levels of lens defocus. A novel raw image dataset is created and utilized, containing pedestrians and cars over a range of distances up to 100-m from the sensor. Object detection performance for each defocused dataset is analyzed over a range of distances to determine the minimum SFR necessary in each case. Results show that the relationship between object detection performance and lens blur is much more complex than previous studies have found due to lens field curvature, chromatic aberration, and astigmatisms. We have found that smaller objects are disproportionately impacted by lens blur, and different object detection models have differing levels of robustness to lens blur
