Refractive power measurements serve as the primary quality standard in the automotive glazing industry. In the light of autonomous driving new optical metrics are becoming more and more popular for specifying optical quality requirements for the windshield. Nevertheless, the link between those quantities and the refractive power needs to be established in order to ensure a holistic requirement profile for the windshield. As a consequence, traceable high-resolution refractive power measurements are still required for the glass quality assessment. Standard measurement systems using Moiré patterns for refractive power monitoring in the automotive industry are highly resolution limited, wherefore they are insufficient for evaluating the camera window area. Consequently, there is a need for more sophisticated refractive power measurement systems that provide a higher spatial resolution. In addition, a calibration procedure has to be developed in order to guarantee for comparability of the measurement results. For increasing the resolution, a measurement setup based on an auto-correlation algorithm is tested in this paper. Furthermore, a calibration procedure is established by using a single reference lens with a nominal refractive power of 100 km-1. For the calibration of the entire measurement range of the system, the lens is tilted by an inclination angle orthogonal to the optical axis. The effective refractive power is then given by the Kerkhof model. By adopting the measurement and calibration procedure presented in this paper, glass suppliers in the automotive industry will be able to detect relevant manufacturing defects within the camera window area more accurately paving the way for a holistic quality assurance of the windshield for future advanced driver-assistance system (ADAS) functionalities. Concurrently, the traceability of the measurement results is ensured by establishing a calibration chain based on a single reference lens, which is traced back to international standards.
Despite the higher uptake of digital media also in older age groups, there are still challenges for people of high ages and with cognitive or motoric problems, which prevent them from learning and using devices like smartphones or tablets. Tangible user interfaces provide an opportunity to connect these people to social media, thereby increasing their digital participation in society and reducing loneliness. In this paper, we discuss the challenges of intergenerational communication and research the opportunities affiliated with tangible technologies to overcome technology barriers for adults of high ages. We present a hybrid system for social media interactions between young smartphone users and their old relatives, who do not use mobile technologies. The system consists of a tangible user interface designed specifically for old adults that connects to a standard mobile messenger service. TAMI was designed in a user-centered process to fulfill the needs of older adults and tested in a longer-term field study with pairs of young and old relatives.

The soundscape approach highlights the role of situational factors in sound evaluations; however, only a few studies have applied a multi‐domain approach including sound‐related, person‐related, and time‐varying situational variables. Therefore, we conducted a study based on the Experience Sampling Method to measure the relative contribution of a broad range of potentially relevant acoustic and non‐auditory variables in predicting indoor soundscape evaluations. Here we present the comprehensive dataset for which 105 participants reported temporally (rather) stable trait variables such as noise sensitivity, trait affect, and quality of life. They rated 6.594 situations regarding the soundscape standard dimensions, perceived loudness, and the saliency of its sound components and evaluated situational variables such as state affect, perceived control, activity, and location. To complement these subject‐centered data, we additionally crowdsourced object‐centered data by having participants make binaural measurements of each indoor soundscape at their homes using a low‐(self‐)noise recorder. These recordings were used to compute (psycho‐)acoustical indices such as the energetically averaged loudness level, the A‐weighted energetically averaged equivalent continuous sound pressure level, and the A‐weighted five‐percent exceedance level. This complex hierarchical data can be used to investigate time‐varying non‐auditory influences on sound perception and to develop soundscape indicators based on the binaural recordings to predict soundscape evaluations.

Hintergrund: Durch die Digitalisierung hat sich die Art des Publizierens verändert. Es ergeben sich neue Publikationswege und -formen. Eine Reflexion der traditionellen Ansichten über Publikationen und die Sicherung der Qualität ist erforderlich. Damit ergibt sich die Intension der Arbeit: Gegenwärtige Qualitätskriterien zu erfassen, zu analysieren und neuartige Möglichkeiten aufzuzeigen.
Methoden: Die theoretische Basis für den Stand der Forschung erfolgt durch eine repräsentative Literaturrecherche. Die Extraktion der Qualitätskriterien basiert auf einer selektiven Quellenauswahl. Ergänzend werden sechs Expert:innen anhand eines halbstrukturiertem Interviewleitfadens befragt. Die extrahierten Erkenntnisse aus der Analyse fließen in einen Wissensgraph und liefern Ansätze für eine Qualitätssicherung. Die Modellierung einer Anwendung wird auf Basis des Standards BPMN 2.0 umgesetzt.
Ergebnisse: Es wird ein Qualitätskriterien-Index erstellt, der zur Ausweisung von Qualitätsmerkmalen für Publikationen führt. Diese bilden die Wissensbasis für eine Web-Anwendung. Der darin enthaltene prototypische Workflow leitet die:den Autor:in durch Kriterien. Als Ergebnis werden die Publikationen mit Qualitätsmerkmalen angereichert. Diese Arbeit liefert das theoretische Konzept für die Anwendung. Es beinhaltet ein Mockup und eine erste prototypische Umsetzung. Dies bietet die Basis für eine bedarfsorientierte, reale Entwicklung.
Schlussfolgerungen: Eine reale, technische Umsetzung ist mit entsprechenden Ressourcen realisierbar. Vorab wird empfohlen, die ermittelten Qualitätskriterien mit einer
Nutzer:innengruppe zu reflektieren bspw. in Form einer qualitativen Erhebung. Diese liefert Hypothesen und fördert die Akzeptanz für die Ausweisung von Qualität. Das Ergebnis behandelt keine fachdisziplin-spezifischen Aspekte. Erfolgt dies, wird es zu einer Erweiterung der Anwendung führen. Ebenfalls sollte die Usability der Anwendung getestet werden, bevor die reale Umsetzung erfolgt. Das erstellte Konzept, ein Mockup und der Prototyp liefern die Ausgangslage für die Entwicklung.
With the increasing capabilities of machine learning systems and their potential use in safety-critical systems, ensuring high-quality data is becoming increasingly important. In this paper we present a novel approach for the assurance of data quality. For this purpose, the mathematical basics are first discussed and the approach is presented using multiple examples. This results in the detection of data points with potentially harmful properties for the use in safety-critical systems.

The healthcare sector's digital transformation necessitates the involvement of stakeholders through participation and co-creation processes. This study aims to investigate the understanding and implementation of participation and co-creation in the development of hybrid interaction technologies in healthcare. Eight interdisciplinary research projects were examined through semi-structured group interviews with 49 participants from academia, industry, and the application field. The interviews focused on participants' perspectives on project goals, user groups, access to the field, methods of participation and co-creation, and user motivation. The results highlight the diverse understandings of participation and co-creation, with some perceiving them as research-driven and others as already embedded in user- centered design. The projects emphasized user needs but often excluded stakeholders from collaborative decision-making. Challenges in achieving continuous involvement and co-decision were acknowledged. The findings underscore the need for reflexive practice and evaluation of participation and co-creation throughout the development process, as well as further research on participation across projects. By addressing these challenges and embracing participatory approaches, digital health applications can better address ethical concerns, build trust, and increase acceptance and adoption in the healthcare sector.
Abstract The modulation-transfer function (MTF) is a fundamental optical metric to measure the optical quality of an imaging system. In the automotive industry it is used to qualify camera systems for ADAS/AD. Each modern ADAS/AD system includes evaluation algorithms for environment perception and decision making that are based on AI/ML methods and neural networks. The performance of these AI algorithms is measured by established metrics like Average Precision (AP) or precision-recall-curves. In this article we research the robustness of the link between the optical quality metric and the AI performance metric. A series of numerical experiments were performed with object detection and instance segmentation algorithms (cars, pedestrians) evaluated on image databases with varying optical quality. We demonstrate with these that for strong optical aberrations a distinct performance loss is apparent, but that for subtle optical quality differences – as might arise during production tolerances – this link does not exhibit a satisfactory correlation. This calls into question how reliable the current industry practice is where a produced camera is tested end-of-line (EOL) with the MTF, and fixed MTF thresholds are used to qualify the performance of the camera-under-test.
User-centered and Participatory Design approaches have become widespread within HCI, also when designing digital media for older adults. These methodologies are seen as crucial to adapt technology design to older people's needs and increase their acceptance of digital technology. Nevertheless, it is often difficult to reach a diverse group of older people, for instance, people with limited technology skills, limited mobility, or cognitive issues. In addition, gerontologists criticized lately how older people's participation unfolds in technology design projects, e.g. that people are pushed into the role of users. Little is known about the motivations and needs of older adults regarding their participation in HCI research. To close this gap, we conducted an online survey (N=46) and semi-structured interviews (N=8) focusing on motivations, willingness and experiences regarding participation. Results show that people are generally willing to participate due to interest in the topic, learning new things and social bonding. However, despite the conceptions within HCI that long-term engagement is crucial within participatory design, older people in the study preferred less commitment and more open formats.
A numerical study is carried out meticulously to scrutinize the impact of different shapes of chimneys like circular (outer dia, dc), convergent (outer dia, 0.5dc), divergent (outer dia, 1.5dc), sudden contraction (outer dia, 0.5dc), and sudden expansion (outer dia, 1.5dc) on the performance of an SCPP. Furthermore, the parametric impact with different chimney divergence angles (CDA, ϕ), and ground absorber slope angle (GSA, γ) on the SCPP performance is also scrutinized. Optimum divergence angle (ϕ=+0.75◦) enhances the power generation up to ~ 47% (76 kW) with a horizontal ground absorber surface. An increase or decrease in CDA lessens the power generation. With a sloped ground absorber angle γ=0.6◦, the gain in power generation is 60% (82 kW). The study of combination of ground sloped absorber (γ=0.6◦) and divergent chimney (ϕ=+0.75◦) shows enhancement of the power generation upto 80% (92 kW) more than the classical Manzaranes plant.
