• Anne Heimes: Acoustic Bidirectional Surface Scattering – Analysis, Validation and Application

    IHTA Seminarraum (60 Persons) and Zoom-Meeting (Hybrid) Kopernikusstr. 5, Aachen, Deutschland

    Geometrical acoustics simulations are an essential tool for predicting sound propagation in rooms and urban environments. A key requirement for physically accurate simulations is an appropriate representation of surface scattering to capture wave-related phenomena at surfaces. In current acoustic practice, surface reflection is commonly described by decomposing reflected sound energy into specular and scattered components, […]

  • Frederike Rust: Breathing Rate Detection Using High-Pressure Sensors in Compressed-Air Breathing Apparatus

    IHTA Seminarraum (60 Persons) and Zoom-Meeting (Hybrid) Kopernikusstr. 5, Aachen, Deutschland

    Firefighting is physically highly demanding, possibly inducing severe health risks. Hence, monitoring vital parameters of firefighters at the scene is desirable. In this internship at Dräger it was assessed how accurately the breathing rate can be estimated using the pressure sensor of a compressed-air breathing apparatus. Different algorithms for estimating the breathing rate were developed […]
