Abstract: Techniques and solutions are provided for updating or augmenting consolidated data that is produced using base data. The consolidated data can include data that is aggregated by various grouping criteria. After a set of consolidated data is determined, the base data may change, one or more rules used to calculate the consolidated data may change, or it may be desired to see data that is more granular than that included in the consolidated data. After consolidated data is provided to a user, a user issues a data augmentation request. The data augmentation request causes the base data, which may have been updated, to be processed to provide updated data, where the processing includes grouping operations used in producing the consolidated data. The updated data is provided to a client in response to the data augmentation request.

Abstract: A luminophore may have the general formula AzEeX6:RE, where A is selected from bivalent elements, E is selected from tetravalent elements, X is selected from monovalent elements, and RE is selected from activator elements. In addition, 0.9?z?1.1, and 0.9?e?1.1. A method for producing such a luminophore is also disclosed. A radiation-emitting component may further include the luminophore.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method and to a device for producing a butt-welded joint between two pipe segments (38, 39) of a pipe (27, 28) made of a weldable plastic material, each pipe segment being held by a gripping means (14, 15), pipe end cross-sections of the pipe segments (38, 39) being machined with the aid of a tool means (11) for forming welding contact surfaces (40, 41), said tool means (11) being disposed in a stationary manner in a separating plane (37) for machining the welding contact surfaces (40, 41) and a separating cut for forming the pipe segments (38, 39) being realised by the gripping means (14, 15) moving the pipe (27, 28) relative to the tool means (11) in the separating plane (37), said separating cut simultaneously serving to form the welding contact surfaces (40, 41).

Abstract: Provided is a process which allows uranium and molybdenum fluorides to be efficiently separated, said process comprising a step of providing a mixture containing MoF6 and UF6; a step of reducing the UF6 to UF5 in the gas phase or in a liquid phase; and a step of separating the UF5 and the MoF6 or a conversion product thereof which may be obtained by further converting the molybdenum fluoride to another molybdenum compound. In a further aspect, a process for the fluorination of metals or semimetals is provided.

Abstract: A method for optimizing the interpretation of analog image signals or sequences of image signals output by medical image recording devices. The correlation of consecutively recorded image signals is tested and, based on the test, the image signals are identified as depicting the same or different images. More specifically, if the correlation is not less than a particular threshold value, it is established that the image signals depict the same image. If the correlation is less than a particular threshold value, it is established that the image signals possibly depict different images. Further, the threshold value is dynamically adjusted if the correlation has changed.

Abstract: A system and method for verifying the registration of a fluoroscopy image, wherein an artificial landmark array is introduced into a radiation path of a fluoroscopy apparatus, the landmark array being trackable by a computer assisted, medical navigation system. A fluoroscopy recording is produced with the aid of the fluoroscopy apparatus, and a spatial position of the artificial landmark array at the time the fluoroscopy recording is produced is detected and stored. The fluoroscopy recording is registered onto previously acquired body image data of the navigation system using marking points mapped on the fluoroscopy recording, wherein the marking points are maps of markings on the radiation source. Verification is based on a correspondence between an image shadow of the artificial landmark array on the fluoroscopy recording and a position of the landmark array at the time the recording was produced.
