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.
Over the past decades, research in room acoustics has established several derivative measures of an impulse response, some of which are incorporated in the ISO 3382 standards. These parameters intend to represent perceptual qualities, but were developed without a consistent modeling of room acoustical perception. More recent research proposed comprehensive inventories of room acoustic perception that are purely based on evaluations by human subjects, such as the Room Acoustical Quality Index (RAQI). In this work RA-QI scores acquired for 70 room impulse responses were predicted from room acoustical parameters. Except for Reverberance, the prediction of RAQI factors performed rather poor. In most cases, the sound source had a greater impact on RAQI scores. All analyses are published in an online tool, where users can upload omnidirectional and binaural impulse responses, and instantly obtain and visualize several physical descriptors, as well as predicted RAQI scores for three different sound sources. So far, acceptable prediction accuracy is achieved for Reverberance, Strength, Irregular Decay, Clarity and Intimacy. Larger data sets of evaluated impulse responses are required to improve the model performance and enable reliable predictions of room acoustical quality. Therefore, the administration of RAQI evaluations within the website is currently being developed.
The decarbonization of for example the energy or heat sector leads to the transformation of distribution grids. The expansion of decentralized energy resources and the integration of new consumers due to sector coupling (e.g. heat pumps or electric vehicles) into low voltage grids increases the need for grid expansion and usage of flexibilities in the grid. A high observability of the current grid status is needed to perform these tasks efficiently and effectively. Therefore, there is a need to increase the observability of low voltage grids by installing measurement technologies (e.g. smart meters). Multiple different measurement technologies are available for low voltage grids which can vary in their benefit to observation quality and their installation costs. Therefore, Bayernwerk Netz GmbH and E.DIS AG in cooperation with E-Bridge Consulting GmbH and the Institute for High Voltage Equipment and Grids, Digitalization and Energy Economics (IAEW) investigated the effectiveness of different strategies for the smartification of low voltage grids. This paper presents the methodology used for the investigation and exemplary results focusing on the impact of intelligent cable distribution cabinets and smart meters on the quality of the state estimation.
In the EILD.nrw project, Open Educational Resources (OER) are being developed for teaching databases. Instructors can use the tools and courses in a variety of learning scenarios. Students of computer science and application subjects learn the complete life cycle of databases. For this purpose, quizzes, interactive tools, instructional videos, and courses for learning management systems are developed and published under a Creative Commons license.
Der Tagungsband umfasst sämtliche Beiträge des Themennachmittags „New Work – Next Learning“, der am 22. November 2022 am Fachbereich Wirtschaftswissenschaften der Hochschule Düsseldorf stattgefunden hat. Ausgehend von der Fragestellung, welche Mitarbeiter und Führungsnachwuchskräfte Unternehmen zur erfolgreichen Bewältigung des digitalen Wandels benötigen und welche Erwartungen Studierende an zukünftige Arbeitsstrukturen und -prozesse haben, wurde auch kritisch diskutiert, welche Chancen und Risiken hierbei aus der Digitalisierung der Hochschule resultieren und was dies für zukünftige Forschungs-, Lehr- und Verwaltungsprozesse an Hochschulen bedeutet. Dazu haben unterschiedliche Referenten das Tagungsthema aus Sicht von Wirtschaftspraxis und Hochschule beleuchtetet und wichtige Impulse zu den Potenzialen der Digitalisierung in der Hochschul- und Weiterbildung, zur Bedeutung von selbstbestimmtem und eigenverantwortlichem Lernen, innovativen Lehr- und Lernkonzepten sowie einem veränderten Rollenverständnis beigetragen.
Room reverberation alters the spatial impression and timbre of a sound by modulating its spectral and temporal characteristics. Thus, we argue that, on a perceptual level, reverberation basically breaks down into interaural differences and spectro-temporal cues and that the separation of a perceived timbre into a sound source and a surrounding room is a purely cognitive process. To investigate the connection between the perception of reverberation cues and timbre analysis, the sensitivity for changes in reverberation was compared to timbre perception abilities. The Timbre Perception Test was used to measure the perception of the temporal envelope, spectral centroid, and spectral flux of artificial sounds. Sensitivity for changes in reverberation time was tested with a discrimination task using speech and noise with speech-alike spectral and temporal envelopes as source signals. Musical and acoustical expertise was assessed through the Goldsmiths Musical Sophistication Index and self-reports on experience with and knowledge of acoustics. There was a considerable correlation between timbre and reverberance perception ability, but timbre perception and academic experience predicted only 41% of the variance in reverberance perception. Still, perception abilities related to similar acoustical phenomena seem to be better indicators of listening skills than self-reports on acoustical or musical expertise.
Forschungsdatenmanagement (FDM) umfasst alle Aktivitäten, die mit der Planung, Erhebung, Aufbereitung, Speicherung, Archivierung und Veröffentlichung von Forschungsdaten verbunden sind. Hierbei sind sowohl generische als auch fachspezifische Aspekte zu berücksichtigen; außerdem müssen rechtliche und technische Gesichtspunkte beachtet werden. Dies erfordert ein umfangreiches Serviceportfolio – von Information und Sensibilisierung über Beratung und Koordination bis hin zu IT-Infrastrukturen.
Mit der Förderlinie FDMScouts.nrw unterstützen das Ministerium für Kultur und Wissenschaft des Landes Nordrhein-Westfalen und die Digitale Hochschule NRW (DH.NRW) im Rahmen der landesweiten Digitalisierungsoffensive fünf Hochschulverbünde bei der nachhaltigen Verankerung des Themas FDM auf strategischer und operativer Ebene. Dabei werden sie inhaltlich und organisatorisch von der Landesinitiative fdm.nrw begleitet. Die hieraus resultierenden Impulse für den bedarfsgerechten Auf- und Ausbau von Kontaktstellen, Kompetenzen und Kapazitäten zum FDM sollen über die Verbünde hinaus auch anderen interessierten Hochschulen für angewandte Wissenschaften (HAW) und Fachhochschulen (FH) zugutekommen.
Das vorliegende Poster zeigt die Handlungsfelder und die einzelnen Aktivitäten, die im Rahmen der Förderlinie FDMScouts.nrw im ersten Förderjahr bereits begonnen bzw. umgesetzt wurden. Dieses Poster wurde in vergleichbarer Form auf der Jahrestagung der Digitalen Hochschule NRW am 14. und 15. September 2021 präsentiert.
