Mastering OpenSCAD
OpenSCAD is a free open source software for the creation of three-dimensional geometries. In contrast to common CAD systems such as Fusion 360 or SolidWorks, geometries in OpenSCAD are defined by a purely textual description. This means that all elements of a geometry are inherently parameterized and can be easily adapted. This high flexibility makes OpenSCAD particularly suitable for the design of technical systems and and their components, for example in the context of 3D printing. The book Mastering OpenSCAD introduces you to all important concepts and functionalities of OpenSCAD. The book guides you through 10 selected projects step by step, each project focusing on a limited set of functions and concepts. After these 10 projects, you will know all practically relevant features of OpenSCAD. For the sake of completeness, a final chapter briefly presents the functions that were not addressed in any of the projects.
Digital Halftoning
Digital Halftoning addresses the problem of developing algorithms that best match the specific parameters of any target display device. It is the first significant study of the process of producing quality images on practical computer displays.Along with text and graphics, images are fast becoming a generic data type for general-purpose computer systems. This poses new problems for the systems designer, who must be able to preprocess digital image data for a wide variety of video and hard copy displays. Digital halftoning, the method by which the illusion of continuous-tone images are created through the arrangement of binary picture elements, is a key component of any preprocessing. Digital Halftoning addresses the problem of developing algorithms that best match the specific parameters of any target display device. It is the first significant study of the process of producing quality images on practical computer displays. To aid the systems designer, Ulichney devises the concept of blue noise--which has many desirable properties for halftoning--and suggests efficient algorithms for its use. He also introduces new metrics for analyzing the frequency content of periodic and aperiodic patterns for both rectangular and hexagonal grids, and presents a unique "aspect ratio immunity" argument in favor of hexagonal grids. Included are several carefully selected digitally-produced images.

Assistance for the determination of Measurement Uncertainty Analysis. Development of a prototypical implementation within the existing framework
Master's Thesis from the year 2015 in the subject Computer Science - Applied, grade: 2, University of Applied Sciences Coburg, language: English, abstract: The project shall contribute to the further development of a prototypical implementation for an assistance solution supporting measurement uncertainty analysis within the existing framework. The main tasks in this project will be: Familiarisation with the topic of measurement uncertainty analysis and the handling of software GUM Workbench(R), definition of an design outline for the user support during measurement uncertainty analysis, including an analysis of required supporting function and the subsequent definition of a possible system structure, selection of one aspect in the process and development of a draft for an adequate support solution, containing elements to enable partial automation or increase of efficiency for the process step as well as explanatory information for the users, prototypical implementation and testing of the defined elements within the outlined framework. In the "Guide to the Expression of Uncertainty in Measurement" (GUM), jointly issued by ISO and BIPM, a standard procedure for the determination of measurement uncertainty is defined. Yet, although this document is supported by many international organisations and the consideration of measurement uncertainty is of high importance in many fields of application, ranging from industrial quality control to scientific research, still often the determination of measurement uncertainty is omitted. This is mainly due to difficulties of the metrologists to apply the general rules of the GUM to the task at hand. To ease this task and support the determination of measurement uncertainty, the software GUM Workbench(R) performs all required mathematical evaluations based on a model of the measurement. Additionally, a concept for an assistance system as well as a graphic modelling editor has been developed to facilitate the definition of a suitable
