As wind turbines are increasing both in number and in height, they are exposed to a major threat in form of lightning strikes. The protection of these structures from the effects of lightning is an important issue in today's wind turbine development. However, as lightning is random in nature, a complete protection against its damages is not achievable. The presented method for lightning impact localization and classification using a fiber optic current sensor network helps to detect damages caused by lightning and to monitor the blades. The system is connected to the wind turbine control and monitoring system

Segmentation plays an important role in image processing. Its goal is to divide an image into disjoint parts by defined rules. We present a method to accomplish an illumination-based segmentation of structured surfaces based on surface properties. To this end, an illumination series - i.e. a series of images taken with directional light from different directions - is recorded. For each location of the surface, a signal is extracted which describes the intensity of the corresponding point depending on the illumination angle. From this signal, features are extracted that enable a pointwise segmentation of the surface. Aided by suitable parametric models, the surface reflectance is described, and the corresponding parameters are estimated from the intensity signal. Moreover, the effect of sampling the illumination space is discussed. On the one hand, it is desirable to keep the number of illumination angles as small as possible. On the other hand, a minimum number of images is needed to achieve a reliable segmentation. The performance of the proposed approach is demonstrated with real images. They prove that the higher data acquisition expense is compensated by a significant increase of both the spatial resolution and the robustness

For control applications aiming accurate positioning and path tracking friction modelling and compensation can be very important, especially when working with small displacements as usual in nano technologies. The paper at hand describes friction identification and friction model application for a linear high-precision ball bearing guide driven by a voice coil actuator and using high-resolution position measurement equipment. After noting some friction models the characteristics of friction on nanometer scale are investigated with several experiments. At last some remarks on control design are given.

Optical systems for surface contour and deformation measurement in quality assurance require short measurement times. Standard CCD or CMOS cameras with high resolution can provide up to 20 frames per second or more. In the area of surface metrology, the major time consuming bottleneck is the step of signal processing. This bottleneck can be significantly reduced by executing the image processing algorithms in a standard PC graphic hardware - up to now mainly used for computer games. This paper shows how, and up to which degree, image processing algorithms are transferable to graphic hardware and the considerable benefits of this new technique. The described methods and results are also transferable to other measurement technologies requiring high speed image processing.

Radio frequency identification (RFID) systems allow contactless communication between a small portable tag and a reader device. In this paper, we address the problem of performance degradations due to the detuning of resonant reader antennas in the widely used 13.56 MHz frequency band. A novel design of a tuning transformer for the adjustment of the center frequency of resonant loop antennas is proposed. The ferrite core of the transformer is premagnetized using an additional DC winding. The HF and DC windings are decoupled by an iron core. Besides the tuning, the transformer may also be used for impedance matching and for balancing an unbalanced signal. The function of the device was proven by network measurements. Key Words: Loop antenna, resonance tuning, RFID, tunable inductance.
