The field of elastic imaging has grown in response to the Potential use of such information in medical diagnosis. Real time ultrasound elastography represents a recent development in determining strain and elasticity distributions. Nevertheless, commonly used imaging techniques rely on the interpretation of two dimensional visual data displayed on a video screen. In reality however, physicians often prefer tactile exploration making the simultaneous portrayal of both video and haptic information most desirable. Since the 1970's many alphanumeric to tactile data conversion methods have been investigated, mainly with the ultimate aim of assisting the blind. More recently, interest has been directed toward the display of pictures on haptically explorable surfaces - Tactile imaging. Such a system would allow surgeons to examine hard sectors contained within soft tissue, and thereby assist in operations held remotely. The expansion of ultrasound elastography to 3D formats would mean the ability to haptically explore regions of the body normally inaccessible to human hands. For three-dimensional imaging the acquisition of sequential tomographic slices using Elastography, combined with image segmentation, enables the reconstruction, quantification and visualisation of tumour volumes. In a collaborative project between four research Institutes, the aim is to produce a prototype three dimensional tactile displays comprising electrically switchable micromachined cells, whose mechanical moduli are governed by phase changes experienced by electrorheological and/or magnetorheological fluids. This will be integrated with a sensory ultrasonic elastography in order to present the human fingers with controllable surfaces capable of emulating biological tissue, muscle and bone.}, language = {en} } @article{BoeseBaumannMonkmanetal., author = {B{\"o}se, Holger and Baumann, Michael and Monkman, Gareth J. and Egersd{\"o}rfer, Stefan and Tunayar, A. and Freimuth, Herbert and Ermert, Helmut and Khaled, W.}, title = {A new ER fluid based haptic actuator system for virtual reality}, series = {International journal of modern physics / B Condensed matter physics, statistical physics}, volume = {19}, journal = {International journal of modern physics / B Condensed matter physics, statistical physics}, number = {7-9}, publisher = {World Scientific Publ.}, doi = {10.1142/9789812702197_0129 [Titel anhand dieser DOI in Citavi-Projekt {\"u}bernehmen]}, pages = {1628 -- 1634}, abstract = {The concept and some steps in the development of a new actuator system which enables the haptic perception of mechanically inhomogeneous virtual objects are introduced. The system consists of a two-dimensional planar array of actuator elements containing an electrorheological (ER) fluid. When a user presses his fingers onto the surface of the actuator array, he perceives locally variable resistance forces generated by vertical pistons which slide in the ER fluid through the gaps between electrode pairs. The voltage in each actuator element can be individually controlled by a novel sophisticated switching technology based on optoelectric gallium arsenide elements. The haptic information which is represented at the actuator array can be transferred from a corresponding sensor system based on ultrasonic elastography. The combined sensor-actuator system may serve as a technology platform for various applications in virtual reality, like telemedicine where the information on the consistency of tissue of a real patient is detected by the sensor part and recorded by the actuator part at a remote location.}, language = {en} } @article{MonkmanEgersdoerferMeieretal., author = {Monkman, Gareth J. and Egersd{\"o}rfer, Stefan and Meier, Alexander and B{\"o}se, Holger and Baumann, Michael and Ermert, Helmut and Kahled, W. and Freimuth, Herbert}, title = {Technologies for Haptic Displays in Teleoperation}, series = {Industrial Robot}, volume = {30}, journal = {Industrial Robot}, number = {6}, publisher = {Emerald}, issn = {0143-991x}, doi = {10.1108/01439910310506792}, pages = {525 -- 530}, abstract = {Since the 1960s many alphanumeric to tactile data conversion methods have been investigated, mainly with the ultimate aim of assisting the blind.

The study at hand aims to correlate recorded extracellular signals with the volume of origin by deep learning methods. Our work establishes connections between the position in the brain and recorded high-density neural signals. This was achieved by evaluating the performance of BLSTM, BGRU, QRNN and CNN neural network architectures on multisite electrophysiological data sets. All networks were able to successfully distinguish cortical and thalamic brain regions according to their respective neural signals.

Es wird davon ausgegangen, dass hierf{\"u}r die deutschen energiebedingten CO2-Emissio­nen in etwa 15 Jahren weitgehend auf Null sinken m{\"u}ssen. Energieeinsparung hilft, den notwendigen Ausbau von regenerativen Erzeugungskapazit{\"a}ten zu verringern. Der Verkehrssektor kann ebenso wie die Bereiche Prozess- und Geb{\"a}udew{\"a}rme hier­zu wesentlich beitragen. Die Kernenergie ist mit großen Risiken belastet und kann nicht hinreichend schnell aufgebaut werden. Biomasse in Form von Energie­pflan­zen zu nutzen, ist ineffizient und steht im Konflikt mit anderen Arten der Land­nut­zung. Importe klimaneutral erzeugter Energietr{\"a}ger in sehr großem Umfang er­for­dern extrem große Investitionen im Ausland. Sie sind eine ungesicherte Option auf die Zukunft. Entscheidend ist daher der ausreichend schnelle Ausbau von Photovoltaik (PV) und Wind­kraft in Deutschland. Sch{\"a}tzungsweise kann der Elektrizit{\"a}tsbedarf im Jahr 2030 z.B. durch den Ausbau auf ca. 350 GW PV und ca. 150 GW Windkraft nahe­zu voll­st{\"a}ndig regenerativ gedeckt werden. Damit ließe sich eine zum großen Teil elek­tri­fizierte Mobilit{\"a}t und W{\"a}rmeversorgung betreiben und ein Teil des ben{\"o}­tig­ten "gr{\"u}­nen" Wasserstoffs in Deutschland bereitstellen. Hierf{\"u}r ist ein j{\"a}hr­licher Zu­bau von durchschnittlich ca. 30 GW PV und ca. 9 GW Windkraft n{\"o}tig. Dies ist ca. sechs- (PV) bzw. dreimal (Wind) so hoch wie bisher vorgesehen und verlangt eine ge­sell­schaft­liche Kraftanstrengung. Ein weiter verz{\"o}gerter Ausbau m{\"u}sste mit noch deut­lich gr{\"o}ßeren gesellschaftlichen Anstrengungen f{\"u}r drastische Energieeinspa­run­gen oder Importe erneuerbarer Energie ausgeglichen werden. Insgesamt k{\"o}nnte dies noch deutlich schwieriger zu realisieren sein, als ein ambitionierter Ausbau. Da der Auf­bau der Kapazit{\"a}ten mehrere Jahre erfordert, ist es m{\"o}glich nachzusteuern, z. B. wenn erkennbar wird, dass sich ein ausreichend großer globaler Markt f{\"u}r Importe ent­wi­ckelt. Bis dahin ist es aus Verantwortung gegen­{\"u}ber der Zukunft und im Sinne des Pariser Vertrages empfehlenswert, die hier genannten Ausbauziele zu verfol­gen. Gr{\"u}ner, also aus erneuerbaren Energien hergestellter Wasserstoff und daraus abge­lei­tete Syntheseprodukte sind f{\"u}r die Dekarbonisierung von Industrieprozessen, den Flug- und Schiffsverkehr sowie f{\"u}r die Absicherung der Energieversorgung bei Dun­kel­flauten n{\"o}tig. Ohne die genannten Ausbauziele f{\"u}r Wind und Solar noch drastisch weiter zu erh{\"o}hen, stehen diese Produkte f{\"u}r Straßenverkehr und W{\"a}rmeversor­gung jedoch nicht in ausreichenden Mengen zur Verf{\"u}gung. Techniken zum Aus­gleich zwischen Elektrizit{\"a}tsangebot und -nachfrage sind verf{\"u}gbar und sollten recht­zeitig auf- bzw. ausgebaut werden. Hierzu geh{\"o}ren: Stromaustausch mit den Nach­barl{\"a}ndern, Flexibilisierung des Verbrauchs und Energiespeicherung. F{\"u}r deren Inte­gration sowie den Ausbau der Netze sollten z{\"u}gig verbesserte rechtliche Rah­men­bedingungen geschaffen werden. Die Kosten eines klimavertr{\"a}glichen Energiesystems sind mittel- bis langfristig nicht h{\"o}­her als im derzeitigen System.
