BBC Interior Design Masters finalist Siobhan Murphy brings you a fearless home interiors handbook that celebrates maximalism and shows you how your taste in fashion can influence your home decor. 'For me, maximalism is about using colour, patterns and textures in a happy and joyful way. It's about showcasing your personality and the things you love, both in the way you dress and in the way you decorate your home.

Zu besonderen Dank bin ich Herrn Professor Dr. -Ing. J. Milberg verpflichtet, der die Arbeit anregte, mich durch wertvolle Kritik stets unterstutzte und mir durch ein grosses Mass an gewahrter Selbststandigkeit sein Vertrauen bewies. Desweiteren danke ich Herrn Prof. Dr. -Ing. K. Th. Renius fur die sehr aufmerksame Durchsicht der Arbeit und die Anregungen, die sich daraus ergaben. Ebenso moechte ich Herrn Prof. Dr. -Ing. M. Weck, RWTH Aachen, fur die grund- liche Durchsicht der Arbeit und die UEbernahme des Koreferates danken. Der Fa. Aesculap AG, Tuttlingen, die chirurgische Gerate und Versuchswerkzeuge zur Verfugung stellte, bin ich ebenso zu Dank verpflichtet. Weiterhin danke ich allen Studenten sowie allen Mitarbeiterinnen und Mitarbeitern des Lehrstuhls, die mir tatkraftig zur Seite standen.

Diese Publikation befa t sich mit der Entwicklung einer Steuerung f}r die Freiformfl{chenbearbeitung mit der M-glichkeit, Bahnvorgaben in Parameterkoodinaten der Fl{chenbeschreibung zu interpolieren. Die damit verbundenen Vorteile sind der durchg{ngige Informationsflu f}r Geometriedaten, die Reduktion der NC-Datenmenge, die Flexibilit{t des Fr{sereinsatzes und die hohe Bearbeitungsgeschwindigkeit. Es wurde eine erweiterte NC-Programmierschnittstelle nach DIN 66025 zur Freiformfl{chenbearbeitung spezifiziert. Wesentlich dabei ist die Definitionvon beliebigen Fl{chenkurven als Fr{sbahn. Durch Verwendung der B-Spline-Kurvenapproximation werden alle in konventionellen Steuerungen vorkommenden Bahnen in einer einheitlichen Polynomform f}r die Sollwerterzeugung dargestellt. Ein darauf basierendes Einschrittverfahren zur allgemeinen Polynominterpolation wurde entwickelt. Die neuen Interpolationsverfahren und -strukturen f}r die Freiformfl{chenbearbeitung zeigen, da nur durch Spline-Generierung sowohl f}r die Bahn als auch f}r die Orientierung eine hohe Bahngenauigkeit zu gew{hrleisten ist. Aus den gewonnenen Ergebnissen wurde die Struktur einer fl{chenorientierten Steuerdatenaufbereitung in der Steuerung festgelegt.
