Automatic classification of a full-thickness macular hole in optical coherence tomography images
(2023)
Tapped inductor DC-to-DC converters are interesting circuits, the winding ratio of the two windings mounted on the same core change the voltage transformation ratio compared to the untapped inductor. The tapped inductor converters are especially useful, when high or low voltage transformation ratios have to be realized. The disadvantage of this concept is that the coupling between the two windings is not total and can be described by the stray or leakage inductance. This stray inductance leads to a high overvoltage at the active switch, and therefore also across other elements of the converter. After a short summery of the ideal tapped Boost converter, the design of an RCD snubber which limits the overvoltage is explained. To improve the efficiency of the converter two active snubber networks are treated, which feed the energy stored in the snubber capacitor into the input source or into the output circuit. Simulations are used to prove these considerations.
Electrolytic capacitors have the disadvantage of
pronounced aging. Non-electrolytic capacitors are therefore used
in applications where long-life is important. In this paper we
present a driving stage for LEDs without any capacitive
elements. The basic topology is a Buck converter with one coil,
one active, and one passive switch. Instead of the output
capacitor, series connections of one or more LEDs and an active
switch are connected. An additional diode is connected between
the output and the input to achieve a current path, when all LED-
paths are off. A nonlinear hysteresis controller is used to achieve
a robust control. A system with three switchable LED-strings is
analyzed. Design hints are given and the function is proved with
the help of LTSpice simulations. The system can be used for
lighting purposes with the possibility to change the chrominance.
The potentiality to transmit data is also treated.
Two-Stage Step-up Converter with Different Voltage Transformation Ratios depending on the Duty Cycle
(2022)
A two-stage converter with high output voltage
ratio and reduced current stress of the inductors and partly
reduced voltage stress is discussed. The function is explained
with the help of voltage and current diagrams. The voltage
transformation ratio changes between a quadratic step-up for
duty cycles lower 0.5 and a double Boost converter for duty
cycles higher than 0.5. Dimensioning hints, the control law for
feed-forward controls, the transient when the supply is turned on
is discussed and some simulations are given. A comparison to
other two-stage converters is also treated.
A Model-Based Approach for Remote Development of Embedded Software for Object Avoidance Applications
(2023)
Learning Management Systems (LMS), such as Moodle, enable the rapid progress of digitisation in teaching, which is no longer only taking place in the lecture hall, but increasingly “online” and asynchronously. New didactic concepts (blended learning, “flipped classroom”) consist of alternating self-learning and face-to-face phases, with the former taking place in the LMS, i.e. online. However, no analysis has yet been carried out as to how students act with the material in the self-learning phase, or the teachers are not provided with any information about the learning progress of the students during the self-learning phase. In this paper, concepts of learning and teaching analytics are presented to answer these questions and to integrate the measures derived from them into the teaching processes in a sustainable manner.
In this paper we present various educational activities with Photonics Explorer, an educational kit developed by the photonics research team B - PHOT at VUB (Vrije Universiteit Brussel) for students at secondary schools. The concept is a ‘lab-in-a-box’ that enables students of the 2 nd and 3 rd grade to do photonics experiments themselves at school with lasers, LEDs, lenses, optical fibers, and other high-tech components. Even though, the kit was developed for the secondary schools, we use experiments from the kit also for some other teaching activities such as lectures at the university, photonics workshops for teachers and children at primary/secondary schools or for events such as children's/youth's university or the night of sciences. In the frame of Austrian based project Phorsch! we have organized most of these activities which will be presented here.
Hochschulen und Studiengänge sprechen Studieninteressierte nicht
bevölkerungsrepräsentativ an. Nach einem kurzen Abriss der aktuellen Lage und
der Diversitätsdimensionen werden anhand einer adaptierten Form der „4R-
Methode“ des Gender-Mainstreamings Kommunikationsarten, -medien und
-ebenen mit Blick auf Kommunizierende und Kontexte beleuchtet. Dieser Beitrag
soll Hochschulen und Studiengängen einen einfachen Leitfaden an die Hand
geben, die eigene Sprache auf den verschiedenen Kommunikationskanälen
kritisch zu reflektieren und inkludierender zu gestalten, um Stereotypisierung zu
vermeiden und alle anzusprechen
