Konrad Mertens Photovoltaic: Textbook of the Basics, Technology, and Applications Approx 292 pages. Cardboard-bound Publication date: October 2011 – already sold out 2nd edition Oktober 2012 (four-coloured)

Book without an equal. The only textbook for the study of photovoltaic

Contains an exhaustive section for planning photovoltaic installations

This book sets out to answer these questions: How does solar energy work? What technolo-gies and concepts are available? How do I plan a photovoltaic installation? The book conveys the basics of photovoltaic, cell and system technologies, and metrology. It describes the plan-ning of installations in great detail. The physics of photovoltaic becomes interesting and intel-ligible through clear models, comparisons, and examples from everyday life. Test questions at the end of each chapter allow students to deepen the acquired knowledge and check their learning progress.

Why photovoltaics?

In recent years it has become increasingly clear that the present way of energy production is no model for the future. Thus, the finiteness of resources over rising prices for oil and gas is already being felt today. At the same time we see the first effects of the burning of fossil fuels: Melting of glaciers, rising sea levels and an increase in weather extremes. Finally, the nuclear disaster in Fukushima shows, that nuclear energy is not in a sustainable way: In addition to the unresolved issue of final disposal are fewer and fewer people willing to take the risk of contamination of large parts of the country into account. Fortunately, there is a solution that allows a sustainable energy supply: The renewable energy sources. These use inexhaustible sources of energy as a basis and can, with suitable combination of various technologies such as biomass, photovoltaics, wind power, etc. ensure a full supply. A special role in the ranks of renewable energies plays photovoltaics. It allows direct, emission-free conversion of sunlight into electrical energy and will be due to its large potential a major pillar of the future energy system. However, the conversion of our energy supply is a daunting task that will be overcome only by the imagination and the expertise of engineers and technicians. This book should serve to increase this expertise in the field of photovoltaics. It therefore deals with the fundamen-tals, the technologies, the practical applications and the economics of photovoltaics. Konrad Mertens is a professor of opto-electronics and sensor technology at the University Of Applied Sciences Of Münster. He lectures about photovoltaic.

Jürgen Gausemeier, Rafael Radkowski Augmented Reality of Product Development 500 pages. Harcover Date of publication: 2013

Companies must continuously increase the speed of development and decrease the cost of production because of the prevalent situation in the market place. The fabrication processes dictate the production concepts to a high degree. The interdependencies of product and pro-duction system are not always adequately considered. This leads to complicated innovation loops in the development process. Therefore product and production system must be set up to work together. This book describes the joint research project VireS, Virtual Synchronization Product Develop-ment and Production System Development, sponsored by the BMBF (Federal Department of Education and Science). It presents an instrument for the integrated development of product and production systems and consists of process models, evaluations of methods, and interdis-ciplinary specification for an integrated design. The book supports the designer along the de-velopment process of a systematical concept of product and production system. The reader will learn to treat a virtual object just like a real object. Indicators for the increasing use of Augmented Reality:

Applied in large organizations such as Daimler, VW, Airbus, …

in the US: Rockwell Collins, John Deer, and increasingly in medium sized companies. Growth of relevant companies (Metaio, ARToolworks) Increasing use on mobile platforms (iPhone, Android) AR is also available as a service.

Rolf Steinhilper, Frank Rieg Handbook Construction 1,000 pages. Harcover, four-coloured printing Date of publication: June 2012

At the beginning is an idea or the request from a customer. Then the product must be ana-lyzed in detail and designed: it must be constructed. This is a long and complicated process that finally yields one product out of many possibilities. The designer must continuously make decisions that impact the costs and utility of the product. This handbook sets out to support the designer in this selection process. It describes the most important aspects that the design-er must consider in the process of the development of a product and the technologies for the actual fabrication. The chapter about “Basics” presents a compressed compendium of materials, elements and properties that are used for technical products. The chapter “Development and Design” de-scribes how various requirements are designed “into” the product. The chapter “Processes and Methods” is devoted to the supporting know-how. There is also a chapter called “Use of Computers”; it deals with design software. Lastly, there is the chapter “Production and Man-agement”; it imparts what the designer needs to know about actual realization of his or her design. The work shines with several hundred images of tables, checklists, exemplary designs and photos. The authors: Professor Frank Rieg is teacher of design and CAD at the University of Bayreuth, Professor Rolf Steinhilper is teacher of ecological production technology. He is an expert on innovative product, production and environmental technologies.
