The aviation market is rebounding post-COVID, driving the demand for lightweight materials to reduce fuel consumption and CO2 emissions. However, machining carbon fiber-reinforced plastic (CFRP) is challenging and costly. Microdrilling (<1 mm diameter) for acoustic linings, consisting of CFRP skins in a sandwich structure, is widely requested. Laser drilling offers advantages such as smaller hole diameters and wear-free machining. To scale up laser microdrilling, process efficiency and heat control are crucial. This study conducted a thermal evaluation using a short pulse laser and thermal camera. The temperature curves were evaluated taking into account results obtained from studies based on a layout using Design of Experiments.

Over 12,000 people in the UK are diagnosed with a brain tumour every year. Current diagnostic methods are expensive and typically invasive, meaning that early, widespread screening is not possible. This paper develops a control set-up that enables a new, low-cost, non invasive eardrum sensor to provide accurate intracranial pressure measurements, thereby facilitating more effective diagnosis. The controller works by assisting participants to accurately track airway pressure profiles via blowing into a tube. This has the effect of removing blood flow fluctuations that would otherwise corrupt the eardrum sensor readings used to compute intracranial pressure. A new experimental hardware set-up, identification process and model predictive control approach are developed to compute the optimal sequence of valve positions, and experimental results show a 21% improvement in pressure profile tracking compared with existing clinical methods.

The rapid integration of Internet of Things (IoT) technologies into modern industries creates the need for engineers experienced in their use. This paper introduces the educational approach through the establishment of a learning factory demonstrator designed for courses on the basics of IoT technology by employing versatile and low-cost take-home laboratory devices from the AutomationShield open-source initiative. This demonstrator also leverages the new Arduino Uno Rev4 WiFi board, and a curriculum designed to equip students with comprehensive skills. Students learn how to use the MQTT protocol based on publish/subscribe messaging to establish connection between a device and a cloud server. The concept of diagnostics and control of mechatronic devices in IoT networks is also introduced to the students within dedicated courses, in order to meet the needs of the market by providing innovative solutions fulfilling the concept of Industry 4.0. The new Arduino UNO extension, a WiFi ESP32-S3 module can offer a completely wireless connection to the cloud server serving as the system's hub, allowing multiple devices to be controlled independently from a single spot and from any location. The course participant should gain experience in deploying a device in a smart factory, from connecting the device to the cloud server, gathering data from the device, designing a dashboard for data visualization and device control, to creating a simple algorithm to process the data into a basic remote diagnostics concept-all relying on open-source solutions. Essentially, this pedagogical initiative empowers students with hands-on experience in developing and deploying IoT solutions.

Insight into differences between different implementations of a process provides valuable information for improvement. process comparison approaches leverage event data on process executions to provide such insight. However, state-of-the-art procedural methods are often limited to local differences considering activities executed within a limited number of steps (e.g., directly following activities). Thereby, detecting differences which, for instance, relate early steps of a process execution to its outcome remains challenging. In contrast, rule-based declarative approaches can detect global differences with respect to distant activities;yet they are limited by the complexity of the rule templates employed. Moreover, they are prone to yield fragmented diagnostics. If a subprocess occurs more frequently in one process variant, these approaches typically report each activity contained. In this work, we therefore propose a process comparison approach that detects aggregated likelihood differences for global control-flow patterns. To this end, we decompose the difference detection task into subprocesses induced by co-occurring activities. Using Earth Mover's Distance, we identify differences within individual subprocesses independent of predefined rule templates. We then aggregate and combine subprocesses which distinguish the process variants. By exploiting relations among subprocesses, we retrieve maximal differences affecting many activities. Reducing fragmentation caused by choice-induced frequency differences, we additionally complement these maximal differences. To compare the sensitivity of our difference detection method to existing approaches, we devise a quantitative evaluation framework. Moreover, we demonstrate the effectiveness of our method on a public, real-life event log. Ultimately, the evaluation shows that our method is accurate and capable of providing coherent, global diagnostics.
