"Qual der Wa(h)l - Kurzwaltaste" beschreibt in vielen kleinen Episoden das nicht immer stressfreie Zusammenleben eines jungen Erwachsenen mit dem Geist eines vor knapp 200 Jahren verstorbenen Wals. Die Leser entdecken in diesem Buch so manche Situation aus dem Alltag wieder, allerdings aus einer v llig anderen Perspektive betrachtet. Der hochintelligente Geist Qual, der daf r soziale Handlungen der Menschen nicht ganz nachvollziehen kann, und sein menschlicher Begleiter philosophieren und diskutieren ausgiebig ber die Bedeutung von Geld und Zeit, oft genug mit einem kleinen Augenzwinkern. Vom Sinn oder Unsinn des Lebens ber Religion bis hin zu gew hnlichen Problemen mit der Bahn: Dieses Buch bietet ein kurzweiliges Vergn gen f r jeden, der ber die Banalit ten des Lebens herzlich lachen kann.

Event-based control is a means to reduce the information exchange over the feedback link in networked control systems in order to avoid an overload of the digital network which generally degrades the performance of the overall control loop. This thesis presents a novel state-feedback approach to event-based control which allows approximating a continuous-time state-feedback loop with arbitrary precision while adapting the communication over the feedback link to the effect of unknown disturbances. The focus of this thesis lies in complementing the event-based state-feedback control by deriving new properties, proposing alternative methods for the analysis and improving the components of the closed-loop system. Moreover, suitable strategies are proposed to deal with imprecise information about the plant and imperfect communication links. The theoretical results are evaluated by simulations and experiments using a thermofluid process.
