Abstract: A method is useable for determining a thickness of a cover slip or object carrier in a microscope, which has an objective facing toward a sample chamber. Two optical media border two opposing surfaces of the cover slip or object carrier and form two partially reflective interfaces, which are arranged at different distances from the objective. The method includes: deflecting a measurement light beam by the objective with oblique incidence on the cover slip or object carrier; generating two reflection light beams spatially separated from one another by the measurement light beam being partially reflected on each of the two interfaces; receiving the two reflection light beams by the objective and conducting them onto a position-sensitive detector; registering the incidence locations on the position-sensitive detector; and determining the thickness of the cover slip or object carrier based on the registered incidence locations.

Abstract: A method for secure debugging in a multitenant cloud environment where an application server maintains a host application shared by multiple tenant users can be implemented. The method can receive a request from a tenant user to debug the host application associated with a tenant user, and responsive to the request, deploy an application runtime environment comprising an application container encapsulating the host application associated with the tenant user and a debugger container encapsulating a debugging software running on the application server. The method can set at least a breakpoint in source code of the host application through a user interface of the debugging software, run the host application associated with the tenant user in the application runtime environment, and evaluate an expression entered through the user interface of the debugging software after the host application associated with the tenant user hits the breakpoint.

Abstract: In order to be able to shingle articles individual slices or partial portions of slices shingled in a longitudinal direction in a transverse direction relative to the running direction of conveyor units on which these articles are transported, the two conveyor units, on each of which one of the two articles is fully supported, are not brought to overlap in order to achieve the transverse shingling, but one of the articles is transported on its conveyor unit with a lateral overhang to the other conveyor unit, and the other article placed there on the edge side with such a height difference that the two articles can finally overlap and be placed on top of each other. However, the two conveyor units only have to be guided closely next to each other for this purpose without overlapping themselves. This simplifies the design of the overlapping unit and reduces its overall height.

Abstract: Various embodiments for customizing a dynamic navigation system are described herein. An embodiment operates by receiving a request from a support user device for debug access to an application. A predetermined time period for which to provision a set of computing resources is identified and the set of computing resources are provisioned for a pod on a server. Both a first container including access to a new instance of the application and a second container providing access to a debugger program are generated for the pod. Upon determining that the predetermined time period has expired, access to the provisioned set of computing resources of the pod is revoked, and the provisioned set of computing resources to be made available for other processes of the server.

Abstract: A system and method for providing classified digital recordings, for a system for automatic machine learning. A first digital recording is captured at a first point in time which includes an object situated at the first point in time at a first distance from the recording unit. A first classification of the object is determined using the data of the first digital recording. At a second point in time, a second digital recording is captured, which includes the object situated at the second point in time at a second distance from the recording unit. A second classification of the object is determined using the data of the second digital recording.

Abstract: A device, a memory medium, a computer program, and a computer-implemented method for validating a data-based model for classifying an object into a class for an object type or a function type for a driver assistance system of a vehicle. The classification is determined as a function of a digital signal using the data-based model. A reference classification for the object is determined as a function of the digital signal, using a reference model. It is checked, as a function of the classification and the reference classification, whether or not the classification of the data-based model for the object is correct, and the data-based model is validated or not validated, depending on whether or not the classification is correct. The classification and the reference classification are determined for a set of digital signals that are associated with different distances between the object and a reference point.

Abstract: In order to be able to safely remove the heavy and very sharp blade from the machine, which is overhanging when mounted, in contrast to known solutions, the entire cutting unit is not swung out of the machine so far that the blade is easily accessible, but instead the cutting unit together with the blade support and blade drive remain unchanged in position in the machine, and only the blade carrier of a mounting device is brought into contact with the blade. Then the blade can first be fixed to the protective blade carrier before the connection of the blade to the blade support is released, and then the blade carrier loaded with the blade can be removed from the machine in a simple manner, for example pulled out sideways.

Abstract: A method for controlling a safety device of a vehicle. The safety device reacts to an imminent collision of the vehicle with a collision object by an intervention in a longitudinal and/or lateral guidance of the vehicle. Environment data and trip data regarding the collision object and the vehicle, and intervention data regarding a planned intervention of the safety device, are read in. A first expected impingement point of the collision object on the vehicle is ascertained using the environment data and the trip data, and a second expected impingement point is ascertained using the environment data, the trip data, and the intervention data. A location of the first expected impingement point and of a location of the second expected impingement point relative to subregions referred to the vehicle are evaluated, using reference data. A control signal for the safety device is generated depending on a result of the evaluation.
