In the training phase, the observed feature vectors, corrupted by background noise and reverberation, together with estimates for the interference as provided by the speech enhancement system are used for training joint densities of the observations and the interference estimates. In the decoding phase, the joint densities are transformed to conditional densities of the observed features given the interference estimates. Thus, front end processing can be exploited for obtaining interference estimates, and the estimation errors can be modeled very effectively in a data-driven way. Connected digit recognition experiments in a simulated reverberant environment show the potential of the proposed approach: HMMs with the proposed conditional densities outperform various configurations of conventional HMMs in the logarithmic melspectral domain. This is a first step towards using conditional densities for creating synergies between front end and back end.

We demonstrate that the advantageous complexity results are not only of theoretical nature, but lead to significant speedups in practice as well. With our implementation we are very close to the theoretical bound of the cheap gradient principle. We present one academic (spatially discretized heat equation) and two industrial application examples (biochemical process/Diesel-oxidation catalysis process) where we achieve speedups that range between 10 and 100.

Deep rolling is an especially attractive technique since it is possible to generate deep, near-surface compressive residual stresses and work hardening while retaining a relatively smooth surface finish. Indeed, this technique is best known for increasing the fatigue strength and lifetime of steel components such as crankshafts. Although most work on deep rolling has been on steels, recently it has also been applied with reasonable success to titanium alloys. Accordingly, in this investigation, we examine the effect of deep rolling on the high-cycle fatigue behavior of Ti-6Al-4V, with particular emphasis on the thermal and mechanical stability of the residual stress states and near-surface microstructures. Preliminary results on laser shock peened Ti-6Al-4V are also presented for comparison. In addition, we examine whether these surface treatments are effective in retaining fatigue strength at the higher temperatures of 300 to 450C. Based on the cyclic deformation and stress/life behavior, together with the X-ray and microstructural observations, it is found that deep rolling can be quite effective in retarding the initiation and initial propagation of fatigue cracks in Ti-6Al-4V at such higher temperatures, despite the almost complete relaxation of the residual stresses at the surface. This clearly implies that, in addition to residual stresses, near-surface microstructures, which in Ti-6Al-4V consist of ultrafine near-surface nanostructures, play a critical role in the enhancement of fatigue lifetimes by mechanical surface treatments.}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{FrikelQuinto, author = {Frikel, J{\"u}rgen and Quinto, Eric Todd}, title = {Artifacts in limited view tomography}, series = {Oberwolfach Reports}, volume = {11}, booktitle = {Oberwolfach Reports}, number = {3}, editor = {Burger, Martin and Quinto, Eric Todd and Louis, Alfred K.}, doi = {10.4171/OWR/2014/37}, pages = {2047 -- 2114}, language = {en} } @incollection{Ortner, author = {Ortner, Martina}, title = {Heimatliebe, Nationalstolz und Rassismus - Einzelmeinung oder Trend?}, series = {Ungleichwertigkeitsideologien in der Einwanderungsgesellschaft}, booktitle = {Ungleichwertigkeitsideologien in der Einwanderungsgesellschaft}, editor = {Kemal, Bozay and Borstel, Dierk}, edition = {1.

The fabrication of components consisting of different material regions is a challenge which cannot be realized by standard coating devices basing on blades or rollers. Thus, advanced coating and deposition techniques are needed which enable the precise and reliable control over very small powder quantities in order to prepare arbitrary powder patterns with high accuracy and repeatability. In this report, the delivery of polymer powder by vibrating nozzles inside laser sintering machines is investigated. Therefore, a steel nozzle attached to a piezo actuator is integrated into a machine, whereas the nozzle itself features internal channels which allow the precise control over the powder temperature using heat transfer oil. The setup is used to study the influence of different system configurations on the powder deposition characteristics as resolution and layer surface roughness. The results show that temperature influences the mass flow depending on the material used and that a precise deposition of powder pattern with microscale resolution is possible with optimized parameters. Finally, the multimaterial powder pattern is fused by a new illumination strategy of laser sintering which is called Simultaneous Intensity-Selective Laser Sintering in order to demonstrate the potential of this new approach.}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{LaumerStichelSachsetal., author = {Laumer, Tobias and Stichel, T. and Sachs, Marius and Amend, Philipp and Schmidt, Michael}, title = {Qualification and modification of new polymer powders for laser beam melting using Ulbricht spheres}, series = {High value manufacturing : Advanced research in virtual and rapid prototyping ; Proceedings of the 6th International Conference on Advanced Research and Rapid Prototyping, Leiraia, Portugal, 1-5 October, 2013}, booktitle = {High value manufacturing : Advanced research in virtual and rapid prototyping ; Proceedings of the 6th International Conference on Advanced Research and Rapid Prototyping, Leiraia, Portugal, 1-5 October, 2013}, editor = {B{\´a}rtolo, Paulo}, publisher = {CRC Press}, address = {Boca Raton}, isbn = {978-1-138-00137-4}, pages = {255 -- 260}, abstract = {The restricted amount of available materials for Laser Beam Melting (LBM) of polymers is one of the main limitations for expanding the technology.

The resulting, prescriptive system was tested using real world data and has shown to effectively predict where and when BOM errors are probable to occur.

However, the LuGre model exhibits well-known drawbacks like, too low and force rate dependent break-away forces, drift problems during sticking periods, and significant differences in non-stationary situations between the pre-defined friction law and the one produced by the LuGre model. In the present literature, these problems are supposed to come from the model dynamics or its nonlinear nature. However, most of these drawbacks are not simple side effects of a dynamic friction model but are caused in the LuGre approach, as shown here, by a too simple and inconsistent model of the bristle dynamics. Standard examples and a more practical application demonstrate, that the LuGre model is not a "what you see is what you get" approach. A dynamic friction model with accurate bristle dynamics and consistent friction force is set up here. It provides insight into the physical basis of the LuGre model dynamics. However, it results in a nonlinear and implicit differential equation, whose solution will not be easy because of the ambiguity of the friction characteristics. The standard workaround, a static model based on a simple regularized characteristics, produces reliable and generally satisfactory results, but definitely cannot maintain stick.
