Currently, BOM anomalies have to be identified manually and errors have to be detected in the same way. This preprint describes a combination of data analysis and Machine Learning methods, such as hierarchical and agglomerative clustering, an isolation forest algorithm, association mining and a multi-output Artificial Neural Network, all based on a deterministic distance measure for an industrial BOMs. Solving the orthogonal Procrustes problem for complex, multi-level matrices, a distance measure for real world industrial BOMs was derived. A multi-output MLP was used in order to predict error probabilities with a time- reference. Our results show how to detect anomalies and predict errors in a complex, multi-level BOM based on historical, labelled data. While other authors focus on the mere comparison of BOMs, we aimed at a holistic approach, combining descriptive and predictive methods in order to forecast where in a BOM and at what time of BOM creation process errors occur. 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. Consequently, the prescriptive system is superior to prior, purely predictive systems, can help to decrease errors and thereby decreases product development time and cost in real world companies.}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{KrenkelWagnerWolfetal., author = {Krenkel, Lars and Wagner, Claus and Wolf, Ursula and Scholz, Alexander-Wigbert K. and Terekhov, Maxim and Rivoire, Julien and Schreiber, W.}, title = {Protective Artificial Lung Ventilation: Impact of an Endotracheal Tube on the Flow in a Generic Trachea}, series = {New Results in Numerical and Experimental Fluid Mechanics VII : Contributions to the 16th STAB/DGLR Symposium Aachen, Germany 2008}, booktitle = {New Results in Numerical and Experimental Fluid Mechanics VII : Contributions to the 16th STAB/DGLR Symposium Aachen, Germany 2008}, editor = {Hirschel, Ernst Heinrich and Schr{\"o}der, Wolfgang and Fujii, Kozo and Haase, Werner and Leer, Bram and Leschziner, Michael A. and Pandolfi, Maurizio and Periaux, Jacques and Rizzi, Arthur and Roux, Bernard and Shokin, Yurii I. and Dillmann, Andreas and Heller, Gerd and Klaas, Michael and Kreplin, Hans-Peter and Nitsche, Wolfgang}, publisher = {Springer Berlin Heidelberg}, address = {Berlin, Heidelberg}, isbn = {978-3-642-14242-0}, doi = {10.1007/978-3-642-14243-7_62}, pages = {505 -- 512}, abstract = {Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) and experimental investigations on a generic model of the trachea have been carried out focusing on the impact of an endotracheal tube (ETT) on the resulting flow regime.

Recently, it has even been made available in the commercial multibody dynamics simulation software system Adams. 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. The paper presents a second order dynamic friction model, which may serve as an alternative. It can maintain stick and produces realistic and reliable results.}, language = {en} } @misc{FriedrichRivoireScholzetal., author = {Friedrich, Janet and Rivoire, Julien and Scholz, Alexander-Wigbert K. and Wiegbert, and Terekov, Maxim and Kbrich, Rainer and Krenkel, Lars and Wagner, Claus and Schreiber, Laura Maria}, title = {Exploration of Gas Flow During High Frequency Oscillated Ventilation by 19F-Gas-MRI}, series = {Proceedings of the International Society for Magnetic Resonance in Medicine}, volume = {18}, journal = {Proceedings of the International Society for Magnetic Resonance in Medicine}, abstract = {To detect convective gas flow inside the large airways during high frequency oscillated ventilation (HFOV) the fluorinated contrast gas Heptafluoropropane was used for 19F-MRI.

Static friction models apply appropriate regularization techniques to convert the stick inequality and the non-smooth stick-slip transition of Coulomb's approach into a continuous and smooth function of the sliding velocity. However, a regularized friction force is not able to maintain long-term stick. That is why, dynamic friction models were developed in the last decades. The friction force depends herein not only on the sliding velocity but also on internal states. The probably best known representative, the LuGre friction model, is based on a fictitious bristle but realizes a too simple approximation. The recently published second order dynamic friction model describes the dynamics of a fictitious bristle more accurately. Its performance is compared here to stick-slip friction models, developed and launched not long ago by commercial multibody software packages.}, language = {en} } @article{SchreinerWiedmannCoenningetal., author = {Schreiner, Rupert and Wiedmann, J. and Coenning, W. and Porsche, J. and Gentner, Jean-Louis and Berroth, Manfred and Scholz, Ferdinand and Schweizer, H.}, title = {Fabrication approach for antiphase narrow linewidth complex coupled 1.55 μm DFB lasers}, series = {Electronics Letters}, volume = {35}, journal = {Electronics Letters}, number = {2}, publisher = {The Institution of Engineering and Technology IET}, issn = {0013-5194}, doi = {10.1049/el:19990132}, pages = {146 -- 148}, abstract = {A new method for fabricating narrow linewidth antiphase complex coupled MQW DFB lasers by periodically etching the active layer and quartemary InGaAsP overgrowth is reported.
