In the TIU, temporal relations amongst two time intervals are represented as an n-bit binary word. Two such words, which describe part of the temporal relations amongst three connected time intervals, allow the computation of the third, missing relation. Thus, a TIU maps two binary words of length n onto one binary word of length n. [Typical size for n: n = 13]. Two possible instantiations of the TIU are shown in detail. Both instantiations demonstrate the general concept of a TIU.enhttp://doku.b.tu-harburg.de/doku/lic_ohne_pod.phpTechnikTechnology (Applied sciences)Journal Articleurn:nbn:de:gbv:830-tubdok-450910.15480/882.37711420/37910.15480/882.377930767711Philips GmbH Forschungslaboratorien, Forschungsabteilung Technische Systeme HamburgJournal Article
