Abstract: The invention relates to a method for determining the quality of an imaging plate, comprising the steps of carrying out an exposure of the imaging plate, carrying out a scan of the imaging plate in order to determine an image, determining a signal-to-noise ratio of the image or/and carrying out edge recognition on the image and calculating a quality value of the imaging plate on the basis of the signal-to-noise ratio of the image or/and on the basis of the recognized edge structure. Furthermore, the invention relates to an imaging plate scanner for carrying out such a method.

Abstract: Various embodiments include a method for operating an internal combustion engine wherein the compression is variably adjusted comprising: checking a sensor signal indicative of a compression of the engine; checking the plausibility of the signal by: ascertaining a series of corresponding values of the signal and values of the actuating variable; determining a mathematical relationship between the signal and the variable based on the series; determining a deviation between the relationship and a predetermined characteristic relationship; and determining the signal is plausible when the determined deviation is lower than a predetermined threshold value; and if the determined deviation is higher than the predetermined threshold value, adjusting operation of the internal combustion engine.

Abstract: A method for displaying information to a pilot or operator of a manned or unmanned aerial vehicle to facilitate safe operation of the aerial vehicle includes the steps of providing a display screen, displaying a three dimensional Cartesian coordinate system having a horizontal axis, a vertical axis and a depth axis on the display screen, displaying a model of an aerial vehicle on the screen in a manner that represents the position and velocity of the aerial vehicle relative to the coordinate system, displaying the horizontal axis and the vertical axis in a selected manner to indicate a potentially unsafe condition and providing an altitude display near the vertical axis. The display screen provides warnings to indicate unsafe conditions of altitude and pitch angle and includes objects that represent the ground. The ground objects move on the screen to indicate the speed and direction of the aerial vehicle.

Abstract: A system and method for iterative reconstruction with user interaction in data-driven, adaptive mesh generation for reconstruction of model parameters from imaging data is disclosed. The method includes reading input (110, 115) from a user and checking reconstructed parameters (130) for convergence after each iteration. A required computation time is estimated (130) after each iteration based on a current mesh grid and expected number of iterations and the mesh grid is updated (140). An on-line representation of the reconstructed parameters and an adapted mesh grid is displayed during the reconstruction (170) and a next iteration of the reconstruction is based on the adapted mesh grid (145).
