Preface

Research and Innovation Rheinland-Pfalz

Research, technology and innovation are becoming increasingly im-
portant in the face of increasing demands on the modern knowled-
ge society. Market success can often only be achieved using new
technologies and innovations in global competition. Presentations
of current research and development results, new products and pro-
cesses as well as innovative service management models at trade
fairs are central instruments of knowledge and technology transfer.

To provide the Rheinland-Pfalz region with an ideal environment for a successful presentation
of its research and innovation Research, the Ministry of Science, Further Education and Culture
and the Ministry of Economic Affairs, Transport, Agriculture and Viticulture of the State of Rhein-
land-Pfalz jointly support the organisation and implementation of research pavilions at interna-
tional leading technology-oriented trade fairs.

In this connection one focus is on presentations of the potential areas identified in the country‘s
innovation strategy (e.g. ICT, sensor technology, materials and life sciences) in order to strengt-
hen the innovative capacity and competitive position of Rheinland-Pfalz. At the same time, the
exchange processes between science and industry, the promotion of key technologies as well as
the acquisition of specialist and top-level forces are supported. In addition to universities and
non-university research facilities, knowledge-based entrepreneurs, innovative companies and
technology-oriented platforms, initiatives, networks and clusters will be enabled to present their
innovative projects and technological solutions too.

I would like to thank all the participants for their great commitment, and I expect the presenta-
tions to have a visibility far beyond the borders of Rheinland-Pfalz.

Smart Actuation – Active Adjustments without Mechanics, without Kinks,
without Gaps
 The project CompActive is the basis for a spin-off. CompActive develops
surface-integrated bending actuators on the basis of shape memory alloys. The
technology offers a solution for completely new adjustment functions in the
smallest installation space with minimal additional mass.

Unremarkable Actuation Module that packs a powerful Punch / © CompActive

The advantages of fiber reinforced polymers are combined with modern solid-
state actuators, the shape memory alloys. Conventionally required components,
such as mechanical systems, gearbox and motor, are dispensable. The active
modules can be integrated mechanically into products simply and reliably by
means of bolts, rivets or adhesive bonding, for example, and can be electrically
contacted by soldering, crimping, welding or plugging.

EVOLIME Radial Composites reinvents the wheel
Cost-effective & ecological production of wheel structures made of FRP

     Flexible dimensioning         Near-net shaped dimensioning          Short delivery times
    at the „push of a button“       & automatic winding process        for different components

The current processes for manufacturing wheel structures from fibre-reinforced plastics (FRP) are
often not very flexible or require a high degree of manual work steps, making their use
uneconomical for many areas of application. Due to their complex geometry, wheels and wheel-
like structures usually consist of a large number of blanks made of flat semi-finished products.
These semi-finished products are cut from webs with cutters, whereby even with careful planning
an unavoidable proportion of waste is produced.
With the innovative CompoSpoke manufacturing technology, FRP wheel structures can be
designed quickly and flexibly with IT support and adapted to different component geometries. The
structures are manufactured using a cost-efficient wet winding process. Fibers are automatically
wound onto molded parts from a 3D printer and simultaneously formed into wheel structures. The
process operates without waste and has an excellent environmental balance. The high degree of
digital integration in the value chain also enables short delivery times for a wide range of
components.
The technology offers opportunities for industries that want to exploit the potential of lightweight
construction, but have so far been frightened off by the high costs. Possible applications include
mechanical and plant engineering, mobility solutions and material handling technology. Evolime
Radial Composites is a spin-off of the Institute for Composite Materials at the Technical University
of Kaiserslautern. The commercialisation of the underlying technology is funded within the
framework of an EXIST research transfer in 2019/20.

3D-Filament-Extrusion-Printing under very high ambient pressure
3D-printing of technical parts with neat thermoplastics or resins state of the art.
Challenges exist in terms of increasing the printing speed, strength, and stiffness of the
printed structures. The FFF-printing method is well suitable for technical parts, because
                                   it provides the highest mechanical part properties.
                                   Currently, the highest draw-back besides a limited
                                   material choice consist in a suboptimal compaction
                                   perpendicular to the printing direction, leading to
                                   poor shear strengths of the printed parts in
                                   comparison to injection molded parts.

                                    To overcome these problems, the Institute for Plastic
                                    Technology Palatinate (Institut für Kunststofftechnik
                                    Westpfalz – IKW) intends to develop a 3D-printer with
                                    innovative features

   • the possibility to increase the atmospheric pressure up to 120 bar
   • melting of the thermoplastic material by means of a miniature extruder
   • preheating of the already printed material prior to printing of the next layer

This 3D-printing process will be developed with a 3D-printer integrated in an autoclave.
The design of a compact 3D-printer with a pressure chamber will be the next step.

Radar Target Simulator

The Radar and Optical Systems Laboratory is currently developing a cost-effective
high-end radar target simulator optimized for the 24GHz ISM band with 250MHz
bandwidth. The simulator allows the simulation of several independent targets,
whereby each target can be fully parameterized individually.

The simulator can be configured via an Ethernet interface and a graphical user
interface. In this case, it is possible to place each target at a fixed set distance to be
simulated with a corresponding radar cross section. Furthermore, multiple targets
can be simulated at any speed via the ramp generator integrated in the simulator
tool. The distance resolution is discretized in the digital signal processor of the
simulator down to the micrometer range. This automatically creates an inherent
Doppler effect.

In addition, there is the possibility to create different nonlinear individual motion
sequences, e.g. with a standard software tool such as MATLAB, on the designed
simulator. This allows complex scenarios to be created and simulated.

The radar target simulator is implemented with modern RF components from
Analog Devices and a digital signal processor with I / Q signal processing at
1GPSP sample rate and low overall latency. This corresponds to a distance of
approximately 35m. Due to the modular design consisting of RF board, AD / DA
converter and FPGA board, individual expansion stages can be designed and used
by the customer. Further the customer is able to load own specific digital
implementations via the integrated Linux minicomputer.

Damping element for drag chains
A damping element for drag chains is being developed in the Laboratory for Applied
Production Engineering (LAP) at Trier University of Applied Sciences lead by Prof. Dr.
Armin Wittmann.
Cables guided in drag chains, strike the individual drag chain links during movement,
they strike and rub against each other, the cables moving in the drag chain are
subjected to alternating bending loads and the drag chain links strike the drag chain
base. These factors result to a mechanical load on the guided cables and reduce their
service life. In addition, these factors lead to noise emission, which can be in areas
relevant to occupational safety.
The damping element of the LAP dampens the impact pulses on the cables, the drag
chain and the drag chain underlay. In addition, the damping element positions the
cables in a defined manner within the drag chain and therefore reduce the frictional
and alternating bending loads on cables. The damping element of the LAP extends the
service life of the cables and reduces noise emissions without having to compromise
on the durability, guide stability or price of the drag chain used.
At the same time, the damping element of the LAP is inexpensive to manufacture and
can be easily, flexible and individually integrated into new installed and already
operating drag chain systems in order to save maintenance costs, occupational safety
costs and costs for complex drag chain systems.

8devs – We digitalize occupational safety

The 8devs software solution is a comprehensive tool for the digitalisation of
occupational safety. The core points of the system are accident prevention, first aid
alerting and documentation of the emergency procedure.

Accidents at work are a serious problem. 2,100 occur daily in Germany alone.
Occupational safety is therefore an important issue that affects every company. The
system can be put to good use especially where the potential for danger is high, such
as in production and logistics. The software aims to reduce accidents at work by giving
the possibility to document dangerous situations and near-accidents and thus to
eliminate them preventively. In addition, instructions can be digitalized and are
permanently available to every employee. The system also monitors the number of
first-aiders and the expiry date of their certificates. This means that training courses
can be organised well ahead.

In the event of an emergency, the nearby first responders can be alerted flexibly and
efficiently via App, WebApp or emergency call button. The software automatically
documents the course of the emergency and provides information about when the
situation occurred and which first responders reacted to the alarm. In addition, it is
possible to manually create a complete accident report.

From the collected data, conclusions can subsequently be drawn about accident
prevention methods. Consequently, the software helps creating a safer work
environment and reduces costs due to a more efficient organisation and fewer
accidents.

Electrifying Organic Synthesis
Exploiting electric current for the conversion of compounds and sustainable produc-
tion of highly value-added products for the chemical and pharmaceutical industry

The increasing switching of the national energy supply system from mostly fossil re-
sources onto renewable electricity such as wind power and photovoltaics generates
provides electricity which does not match the demand. Storage of electricity in giant
batteries turns out to be quite expensive, surplus electricity must be used to increase
the value of the energy supply. The electro-conversion to value enhanced products
seems to be one of the most attractive options for the use of surplus of electricity.
The Waldvogel Lab is internationally recognized as a leading figure in this respective
field, having unique experience for more than 20 years. The portfolio of this research
lab covers the whole range starting from very powerful screening methods for opti-
mizing the electrolytic conditions on a small scale up to process development. In ad-
dition, electrolyte systems and electrode materials for highly selective conversions
are investigated. Currently, this chemical discipline experiences significant attention
by the producing chemical business as well as in the sustainable production of drug-
like compounds in agro and pharmaceutical industry. Because often the chemical syn-
thetic pathways can be short-cut and reagent waste is avoided, this methodology is
considered as disruptive and as future innovation.

ChemTree – Resource-efficient chemistry
Use of biogenic materials for the production of valuable chemical products

Crude oil is a finite resource, which is used predominantly as an energy source. Its use
as a material in the form of valuable chemical products is of great importance for the
chemical industry. Against the background of dwindling oil reserves and the climate-
damaging effect of fossil feedstocks, it is of great relevance to develop an alternative
source of valuable chemical products. Within the planned project Transregio-CRC
ChemTree between the JGU Mainz and the TU Kaiserslautern, raw materials and re-
sidual materials of the wood processing industry, such as lignin, tall oil, turpentine
and cellulose, which are not in competition with food production, are to be made
usable in a sustainable and almost CO2-neutral way through chemical conversion. In
this way, valuable intermediates can be obtained for the chemical and pharmaceuti-
cal industry. In the long-term, fossil resources such as crude oil are to be replaced by
biogenic intermediates and products.

Laboratory of thermal biomass decomposition

Faculty of Mechanical Engineering at the Opole University of Technology has a
laboratory for the multidirectional analysis of solid fuels, in particular biomass.
The research are carried out in the following fields:
 basic physico-chemical composition of biomass, including the assessment of
  the moisture, ash, volatile matter and fixed carbon content,
 calorific values as well as the elemental composition (C, H, N, S) of fuels,
 combustion, co-combustion and pyrolysis analyses with the use of
  Simultaneous Thermal Analysis (STA) technique:
     • mass changes and thermal effects in the function of time/temperature,
     • ignition, burn-out temperature and total combustion time,
     • exo- and endothermic areas and the amount of heat evolved and
        absorbed,
     • basic composition of biomass (moisture, volatile matter, fixed carbon,
        ash),
     • kinetics of reactions during decomposition,
     • impact of different fuel additives,
 low-power boilers tests:
     • boiler operation tests (energy efficiency and emissions measurements),
     • modeling of the combustion process for boiler control purposes,
     • influence of different fuel additives,
     • constructional solutions that reduce dust emissions.
The research carried out in our laboratory provides a comprehensive view on
the behavior of different biomass fuels.

MODERN TRENDS AND INNOVATIONS IN NON-INVASIVE
                     BRAIN-COMPUTER INTERFACES

Non-invasive Brain-Computer Interfaces (BCI) are future direction of current medi-
cal trends being a fantastic add-on tool for inter alia psychiatric diagnostics purpo-
ses, where the interview is currently the only tool for patients’ condition assess-
ment. The EEG-based diagnosis may support the choice of appropriate treatment
method. Implementation of the EEG-based non-invasive BCI system can also help

to clarify the role of cortico-subcortical loops not only in the perspective of physio-
logical control of the majority of motor, emotional and cognitive functions but as
well explanation of mental disease (such as: addiction, schizophrenia, bipolar dis-
orders). Abnormal power and functional coupling of resting-state observed in corti-
cal EEG rhythms can also be used to predict and monitor the evolution of Alzhei-
mer’s disease and its relative impact on cognitive domains in pre-clinical, prodro-
mal, and dementia stages of Alzheimer’s disease.

Terrestrial cyanobacteria as novel source for antibiotics
The widespread and often unreflected use of broad‐spectrum antibiotics
supports the development of resistances of pathogenic bacteria. As a
consequence, multi‐resistant pathogens evolve, against which our conventional
drugs are ineffective. In order to be prepared for such pathogens in the future,
novel active ingredients for antimicrobial therapy must be made available.
Organisms such as terrestrial cyanobacteria, which have been scarcely studied
up to now, are particularly suitable as a novel source for this.
These photosynthetic bacteria can be found in
nature on air‐exposed surfaces. Thus, they often
feature a surface‐associated growth and can only be
investigated to a limited extent in commercially avai‐
lable bioreactors. With a novel type of reactor, the
so‐called emerse photobioreactor (ePBR), the
natural environmental conditions can be mimicked,
whereby a cultivation of the terrestrial cyano‐
bacteria takes place on an illuminated surface in an
aerosol atmosphere. The illustration on the right
shows an example of the latest type of ePBR, where
the illumination of the surfaces in the aerosol
chamber is achieved by means of (partially cladded)         Hexagonal emerse
                                                             photobioreactor
LEDs, which are arranged around the chamber. To
establish reproducible production processes, it is important to use preservation
methods ensuring a long‐term maintenance of vitality and production properties
of the corresponding strains. Within the frame of the Research College iProcess,
a novel method for the vitality determination of cyanobacteria was developed.
The method is based on measurement of oxygen production and reduces the
required time for the vitality determination from several days to approx. 30 min.

Tribological test methods – reinvented
Intelligent strategies lead the way into the future of tribological research

Friction and wear are the cause for annual losses of approximately 5% of the
gross domestic product. It is therefore essential to increase the tribological per-
formance by continuously and systematically improving the relevant materials.
The Chair of Composite Engineering at TU Kaiserslautern works on the devel-
opment of such materials, the characterization is performed using specialized
test rigs for the measurement of friction and wear (tribometers). Specifically
developed test strategies and algorithms provide meaningful results in a short
timeframe and with minimal cost and material usage. The machine for example
recognizes different wear phases autonomously and analyzes the data in-situ.
Preliminary work before the test as well as follow-up procedures are drastically
reduced giving the researchers more time to concentrate on the focus of their
work.
A pin-on-disc-tribometer equipped with this particular control system will be
displayed at Hannover Messe 2020 along with recent results of research.

Car manufacturers and their supply chain face huge technological and design challenges with
the fast and secure realization of new and innovative functions and services. On the one hand
the car manufacturer has to be empowered of anticipating the capabilities of rapidly changing
future microelectronic platforms, sensors and semiconductor technologies already at the time
of product definition.
On the other hand the automobile suppliers and semiconductor manufacturers need timely
knowledge of the requirements of future functions and services on the technology platform as
well as their relevance to strategically operate investments in technological progress as early
as possible and in a quantitative reliable way.
The results of the GENIAL! Project enable:
    - Exact described and cross-company synchronized processes of coordination of planning
        alongside the supply value chain
    - The description and analysis of microelectronic systems and components, respective
        their technological properties and requirements, needed in the future, in early phases of
        the development planning
    - ... supported by tools that can access expert knowledge residing in a knowledge base.

Digitization for Smart Lifecycle Management
Using the Example of an Autonomous Construction
Site
Test and Demonstration Environment "Autonomous Construction Site"
How can the complexity of product and product service systems be mastered? How can model-
based systems engineering (MBSE) help in combination with digital twins and IoT platforms?
To answer these questions, the environment “Autonomous Construction Site” can be seen on
the exhibition stand, a closed-loop systems engineering demonstrator of the Institute for
Virtual Product Engineering (VPE) at the University of Kaiserslautern, which was set up in
cooperation with CONTACT Software GmbH. The focus here is on the methodological and
information technology challenges in the development and optimization of complex, smart
product and product service systems. Based on the models of the construction site vehicles —
as subsystems of the System of Systems (SoS) "Autonomous Construction Site" — the concept
of closed-loop systems engineering is validated. The following loops are important. (1) Model-
in-the-Loop: verification of the system design in terms of architecture and behavior and the
early validation of partial solutions or system components based on executable system models.
(2) Twin-in-the-Loop: Validation of the digital twin of a product or a system as well as the
associated data management platform (IoT) through the connection to executable system
models. (3) System-in-the-Loop: Use of actual product usage data in combination with system
models, which are connected via digital twins, to analyze the operating behavior and
performance of the system and to implement improvements by reconfiguring existing product
instances or design changes of future system generations.

The engineering 4.0 lab Kaiserslautern
As part of the joint project “Offene Digitalisierungsallianz Pfalz (ODPfalz)”, engineering 4.0 lab
Kaiserslautern (e4lab) will make research results usable for industry and other interest groups
from the West Palatinate region in Germany. The aim of e4lab is to act as a driver of innovation
for the region as well as a demonstration and elaboration environment for the engineering of
smart, connected products and innovative services. Companies in the region should be given
easier access to new digital solutions — processes, methods and software tool chains — and
their application.
The joint project “Offene Digitalisierungsallianz Pfalz (ODPfalz)” is funded by the Federal Ministry of
Education and Research (BMBF) under grant number 03IHS075B and is supervised by the project
management organization Projektträger Jülich (PTJ). The project started on January 1, 2018 and will be
completed on December 31, 2022.

Kaiserslautern Racing Team
Students from Kaiserslautern participating in a worldwide design competition

The Kaiserslautern Racing Team, KaRaT, is formed by students of the
Technical University and the University of Applied Sciences
Kaiserslautern. Since 2008 it attends competitions of the Formula Student
(FSAE). They can be described as international events that put the
interdisciplinary teamwork to test. Students from different specializations
design, manufacture and assemble a formula style racing car and
compete with university teams from all around the world. There are many
different disciplines demanding a wide range of knowledge.
Within the project there are currently around 50 active team members that
deal with latest challenges of the automotive industry by designing a highly
complex vehicle.
The racing car called “Electronyte e19” is not just the only electrically
powered of its kind in the state of Rhineland-Palatinate, it is also honored
as the winner of “Most Energy Efficient Car” discipline at one of the major
competitions in Europe. Within this project students are enabled to
advance their personal and professional development. Therefore, they are
prepared for upcoming tasks of the professional world and future E-
Mobility as best as possible.
