  abstract     = {{Many 3D scenes (e.g. generated from CAD data) are composed of a multitude of objects that are nested in each other. A showroom, for instance, may contain multiple cars and every car has a gearbox with many gearwheels located inside. Because the objects occlude each other, only few are visible from outside. We present a new technique, Spherical Visibility Sampling (SVS), for real-time 3D rendering of such -- possibly highly complex -- scenes. SVS exploits the occlusion and annotates hierarchically structured objects with directional visibility information in a preprocessing step. For different directions, the directional visibility encodes which objects of a scene's region are visible from the outside of the regions' enclosing bounding sphere. Since there is no need to store a separate view space subdivision as in most techniques based on preprocessed visibility, a small memory footprint is achieved. Using the directional visibility information for an interactive walkthrough, the potentially visible objects can be retrieved very efficiently without the need for further visibility tests. Our evaluation shows that using SVS allows to preprocess complex 3D scenes fast and to visualize them in real time (e.g. a Power Plant model and five animated Boeing 777 models with billions of triangles). Because SVS does not require hardware support for occlusion culling during rendering, it is even applicable for rendering large scenes on mobile devices.}},

  abstract     = {{In order to evaluate the efficiency of algorithms for real-time 3D rendering, different properties like rendering time, occluded triangles, or image quality, need to be investigated. Since these properties depend on the position of the camera, usually some camera path is chosen, along which the measurements are performed. As those measurements cover only a small part of the scene, this approach hardly allows drawing conclusions regarding the algorithm's properties at arbitrary positions in the scene. The presented method allows the systematic and position-independent evaluation of rendering algorithms. It uses an adaptive sampling approach to approximate the distribution of a property (like rendering time) for all positions in the scene. This approximation can be visualized to produce an intuitive impression of the algorithm's behavior or be statistically analyzed for objectively rating and comparing algorithms. We demonstrate our method by evaluating performance aspects of a known occlusion culling algorithm.

  abstract     = {{Many virtual 3D scenes, especially those that are large, are not structured evenly. For such heterogeneous data, there is no single algorithm that is able to render every scene type at each position fast and with the same high image quality. For a small set of scenes, this situation can be improved if different rendering algorithms are manually assigned to particular parts of the scene by an experienced user. We introduce the Multi-Algorithm-Rendering method. It automatically deploys different rendering algorithms simultaneously for a broad range of scene types. The method divides the scene into subregions and measures the behavior of different algorithms for each region in a preprocessing step. During runtime, this data is utilized to compute an estimate for the quality and running time of the available rendering algorithms from the observer's point of view. By solving an optimizing problem, the image quality can be optimized by an assignment of algorithms to regions while keeping the frame rate almost constant.

  abstract     = {{In some patients with atypical cystic fibrosis (CF), only one allele of the CF transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) gene is affected. Mutations of the epithelial sodium channel (ENaC) may contribute to the pathophysiology of the disease in these patients. To functionally characterize a mutation in the $\beta$-subunit of ENaC ($\beta$V348M) recently identified in a patient with severe CF-like symptoms (Mutesa et al. 2009), we expressed wild-type (wt) $\alpha$$\beta$$\gamma$ENaC or mutant $\alpha$$\beta$V348M$\gamma$ENaC in Xenopus laevis oocytes. The $\beta$V348M mutation stimulated amiloride-sensitive whole-cell current ($\Delta$I(ami)) by $\sim$40% but had no effect on surface expression or single-channel conductance of ENaC. Instead the mutation increased channel open probability (P(o)). Proteolytic activation of mutant ENaC by chymotrypsin was reduced compared with that of wt ENaC ($\sim$3.0-fold vs. $\sim$4.2-fold), which is consistent with the increased baseline P(o) of mutant ENaC. Similarly, the ENaC activator S3969 stimulated mutant ENaC currents to a lesser degree (by $\sim$2.6-fold) than wt ENaC currents (by $\sim$3.5-fold). The gain-of-function effect of the $\beta$V348M mutation was confirmed by whole-cell current measurements in HEK293 cells transiently transfected with wt or mutant ENaC. Computational channel modeling in combination with functional expression of different $\beta$V348 mutants in oocytes suggests that the $\beta$V348M mutation increases channel P(o) by destabilizing the closed channel state. Our findings indicate that the gain-of-function effect of the $\beta$V348M mutation may contribute to CF pathophysiology by inappropriately increasing sodium and fluid absorption in the respiratory tract.}},

  abstract     = {{Faced with increasing demands on energy efficiency, current electronic systems operate according to complex power management schemes including more and more fine-grained voltage frequency scaling and power shutdown scenarios. Consequently, validation of the power design intent should begin as early as possible at electronic system-level (ESL) together with first executable system specifications for integrity tests. However, today's system-level design methodologies usually focus on the abstraction of digital logic and time, so that typical low-power aspects cannot be considered so far. In this paper, we present a high-level modeling approach on top of the SystemC/TLM standard to simulate power distribution and voltage based implications in a "loosely-timed" functional execution context. The approach reuses legacy TLM models and prevents the need for detailed lock-step process synchronization in contrast to existing methods. A case study derived from an open source low-power design demonstrates the efficiency of our approach in terms of simulation performance and testability.}},

Dieser vom Markt zur Zeit nicht gedeckte Bereich lässt sich durch eine gezielte elastokinematische Aufwertung von Verbundlenkerachsen schließen. Zur Aufwertung und Weiterentwicklung der Verbundlenkerachse ist eine elastokinematische Spurkorrektur unter Seitenkraft und unter Bremskraft sowie eine Verbesserung des Verhältnisses zwischen Seiten- und Längssteifigkeit notwendig.

Die vorliegende Promotionsschrift beschreibt und analysiert zunächst die Eigenschaften bestehender Ansätze zur elastokinematischen Optimierung von Verbundlenkerachsen. Basierend auf den Erkenntnissen dieser Untersuchungen wird eine Verbundlenkerachse mit entkoppeltem Radträger entwickelt, welche sowohl unter wirtschaftlichen als auch unter performanten Gesichtspunkten zwischen einer regulären Verbundlenkerachse und einer Schwertlenkerachse platziert werden kann. Die Entwicklung erfolgt vom Konzeptentwurf bis zum auskonstruierten Bauteil auf Basis numerischer Simulation. Die entwickelte Konstruktion wird in einen Prototypen überführt, welcher in einen Ford Focus implementiert wird. In Fahr- und Komponentenversuchen wird das Verhalten des neuen Achskonzepts untersucht und mit konkurrierenden Achskonzepten verglichen.}},

In this paper, we study the 4-user SISO interference channel and provide inner and outer bounds for the total number of DoF achievable for this channel. We prove that at least 4/3 DoF are achievable for the 4-user channel using also linear interference alignment techniques and improper signaling. A simple converse proof shows that no more than 8/5 DoF are achievable for this scheme. Simulation results seem to indicate that the inner bound is in fact tight for this channel, and serve to illustrate the sum-rate improvement with respect to time division multiple access (TDMA) techniques.}},
