It has long been recognized for its versatile applications in the pharmaceutical industry, with its use in the formulation of various topical medications, wound care products, and drug delivery systems. For pharmaceutical use, petrolatum has to meet the quality standards described in its Pharmacopoeia monograph. The comprised test ranges allow for a broad range of Vaseline qualities on the market, while the tests themselves only poorly discriminate between grades. The only differentiating properties are related to the melting behavior, which is tested via drop point analysis, and the consistency, addressed in the functionality-related characteristics section. In this study, we propose the hypothesis that Near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) could be a comparably simple method to evaluate the crystalline behavior of Vaseline qualities. We expect such information to provide additional details for Vaseline quality discrimination. This discrimination would allow the most suitable petroleum jelly to be selected for an existing formulation when the previous one needs to be replaced; for example, due to a manufacturer change. We demonstrate that NIRS in transmission and reflectance mode obtained by traditional continuous spectra acquisition and fragmented NIR spectra acquisition through multi-optical, multi-modal excitation, respectively, can both serve as a basis for detecting Vaseline quality differences, which we have further proven by thermal analysis and tests with semisolid formulations. Additionally, we demonstrate that a lower-cost multi-optical spectrometer in reflectance mode can detect Vaseline quality differences in rotated samples.}}, author = {{Fliedner, Niels Hendrik and Lohweg, Volker and Al-Karawi, Claudia and Pein-Hackelbusch, Miriam}}, booktitle = {{2023 IEEE 21st International Conference on Industrial Informatics (INDIN)}}, editor = {{Dörksen, Helene and Scanzio, Stefano and Jasperneite, Jürgen and Wisniewski, Lukasz and Man, Kim Fung and Sauter, Thilo and Seno, Lucia and Trsek, Henning and Vyatkin, Valeriy }}, isbn = {{978-1-6654-9314-7}}, keywords = {{multimodal sensing, crystalline materials, microstructure, rotation measurement, PCA, calorimetry, pharmaceuticals, European Pharmacopoeia}}, location = {{Lemgo}}, publisher = {{IEEE}}, title = {{{A Novel Spectroscopic Approach for Vaseline Quality Discrimination}}}, doi = {{10.1109/indin51400.2023.10218318}}, year = {{2023}}, } @misc{7470, abstract = {{The concepts of collective management of housing and urban spaces are being revisited within the contemporary discussions about community-driven approaches and practices and, in particular, related to the revitalization of residential neighbourhoods.

Although they were subsequently neglected, these concepts can contribute to contemporary global discussions about housing affordability and the role of community in ensuring spatial and social equality.

The study applies interpretative and correlational research methods in re-theorizing these concepts and their underlying narratives. It traces how the perspectives on the collective practices and spaces evolved over time, revealing a correlation between changed social practices and the spatial deterioration of the New Belgrade mass housing blocks. The study highlights the importance of both collective practices and common spaces for addressing housing issues, emphasizing their instrumentality, and potentiality for rearticulating the dialogue between public and private, engaging citizens in interactive and inclusive decision-making and co-creation of the urban reality.}}, author = {{Dragutinovic, Anica and Pottgiesser, Uta and Quist, Wido}}, booktitle = {{Urban Planning}}, issn = {{2183-7635}}, keywords = {{common spaces, community, dwelling concepts, New Belgrade, post-war housing, self-management, urban commons}}, number = {{1}}, pages = {{267--279}}, publisher = {{Cogitatio}}, title = {{{Self-Management of Housing and Urban Commons: New Belgrade and Reflections on Commons Today}}}, doi = {{10.17645/up.v7i1.4746}}, volume = {{7}}, year = {{2022}}, } @misc{12810, abstract = {{Recent studies on assistance systems show that adaptive support for users is becoming increasingly important, as this is a promising approach to ensure acceptance, learning support, and appropriate assistance in the long term.

In this paper, we consider the different dimensions and options for the adaptation of assembly assistance and present the results of a first survey to investigate users' expectations regarding the adaptability of assembly assistance systems. Our evaluation shows that users have clear preferences concerning the control over adaptation and adaptation goals, while other aspects of adaptation assistance do not indicate a clear tendency.

The focus of this contribution is on distributed sensor and information fusion systems for system monitoring, which must reflect the increasing flexibility of fusion systems.

In this contribution we summarize the challenges arising in such applications and show that distributed sensor and information fusion for modular self-diagnosis tackles these challenges. Here, we propose an innovative distributed architecture encompassing intelligent sensor nodes, self-configuring real-time communication networks, and a suitable sensor and information fusion system for condition monitoring.

Besides this, they are also designed for sensor applications in monitoring the actual stretch state on the basis of the deformation dependent capacitive-resistive behavior of the DEAP. In order to enable an efficient and proper closed loop control operation of these transducers, e.g. in positioning or energy harvesting applications, on the one hand, sensors based on DEAP material can be integrated into the transducers and evaluated externally, and on the other hand, the transducer itself can be used as a sensor, also in terms of self-sensing. For this purpose the characteristic electrical behavior of the transducer has to be evaluated in order to determine the mechanical state. Also, adequate online identification algorithms with sufficient accuracy and dynamics are required, independent from the sensor concept utilized, in order to determine the electrical DEAP parameters in real time. Therefore, in this contribution, algorithms are developed in the frequency domain for identifications of the capacitance as well as the electrode and polymer resistance of a DEAP, which are validated by measurements. These algorithms are designed for self-sensing applications, especially if the power electronics utilized is operated at a constant switching frequency, and parasitic harmonic oscillations are induced besides the desired DC value. These oscillations can be used for the online identification, so an additional superimposed excitation is no longer necessary. For this purpose a dual active bridge (DAB) is introduced to drive the DEAP transducer. The capabilities of the real-time identification algorithm in combination with the DAB are presented in detail and discussed, finally.}}, author = {{Hoffstadt, Thorben and Griese, Martin and Maas, Jürgen}}, booktitle = {{Smart Materials and Structures}}, issn = {{1361-665X}}, keywords = {{dielectric electroactive polymer, identification algorithm, self-sensing, DEAP sensor}}, location = {{Snowbird, UT}}, number = {{10}}, publisher = {{IOP Publishing}}, title = {{{Online identification algorithms for integrated dielectric electroactive polymer sensors and self-sensing concepts}}}, doi = {{10.1088/0964-1726/23/10/104007}}, volume = {{23}}, year = {{2014}}, } @inproceedings{2141, abstract = {{Sensor and information fusion is recently a major topic which becomes important in machine diagnosis and conditioning for complex production machines and process engineering.
