  abstract     = {{Multisensor systems are susceptible to sensor ageing effects as well as to environmental changes. Due to these effects, the distribution of sensor measurements may change over time, which is referred to as sensor drift. A multisensor system which adapts to drift by self-monitoring is more durable, requires less manual maintenance, and provides information of higher quality. This contribution proposes an approach for detecting and adapting to sensor drift. The proposed detection algorithm determines the reliability of a sensor based on fuzzy pattern classifiers and a consistency measure. By this means, the inherent redundancy in multisensor systems is exploited to detect drift. Detected drift leads then to a retraining of the classifier on batched data guided by information fusion. The retraining incorporates the estimated magnitude of the drift. The proposed algorithms are evaluated in comparison with state-of-the-art methods in the scope of a publicly available dataset. It is shown that the drift detection algorithm yields results similar to the benchmark algorithm but is less computationally complex. Relearning with the drift-adapted approach results in more robust classifiers with regard to potential future drift.}},

  abstract     = {{The electrical-thermal behavior of an electrical connector is determined by heat generation due to Joule heating and heat absorption by conduction, convection and radiation. Heat flow from the connector to the wire is an important heat absorption mechanism for most electrical connectors. The temperature difference between the connector and the wire at infinity is proportional to the axial heat flow induced into the wire. The purpose of this study is to dimension the electrical resistance of a connector for power distribution by the heat flow into the wire. The heat flow is used as a design factor in order to define the maximum power loss for wires with different cross-section areas. With this approach the maximum acceptable electrical resistance for connectors with different sizes can be estimated in the early stages of the design process.}},
