Abstract: Selecting a transport configuration for a data network adapted to transport data traffic belonging to different traffic types. A selecting device determines an actual traffic mix of traffic types and corresponding traffic loads transported on the data network. The device determines, based on the actual traffic mix, multiple future traffic mixes of traffic types and corresponding traffic loads, wherein the future traffic mixes are associated with probability values and classifiable into different future traffic mix classes, each future traffic mix class being associated with a predefined transport configuration capable of handling any future traffic mix falling in that future traffic mix class. The device is configured to aggregate the probability values associated with those future traffic mixes that belong to the same future traffic mix class and to select the transport configuration associated with the highest probability value across the aggregated and non-aggregated probability values.

Abstract: An injection-molding tool has at least two separate mold parts forming a set of mold cavities, and a set of runner channels extending between the mold inlet and leading melt flow to the mold cavities. The set of runner channels comprises a number of junctions, each junction dividing a downstream end of a primary runner channel extending upstream from the junction into two or more separate secondary runner channels extending downstream from the junction. A stretch of the downstream end of the primary runner has a cross section area being smaller than the cross section area of the primary runner further upstream from the junction.

Abstract: A method for training a style encoder of a neural network. Sensory input variables, which represent a movement of a system and surroundings of the system, are compressed to an abstract driving situation representation in at least one portion of a latent space of the neural network, using a trained situation encoder of the neural network. The sensory input variables are compressed to a driving style representation in at least one portion of the latent space, using the untrained style encoder. The driving style representation and the driving situation representation are decompressed from the latent space to output variables, using a style decoder of the neural network. A structure of the style encoder is changed to train the style encoder until the output variables of the style decoder represent the movement.

Abstract: The present invention teaches a bedside table with a disposable hygienic tray which has thereon multiple layers of film. Each layer of film in turn has adhesive, or anti-bacterial compounds, or bacterial detection compounds, or combinations thereof. In use, for example in a hospital, health care setting, home care setting or for home or many other contexts of use, each layer is removed in sequence, exposing a new layer underneath. After a suitable period of usage, the new layer is in turn removed to expose yet another later. When the final layer is removed the disposable tray is removed from the bedside table and replaced with a fresh tray. In embodiments, the core bedside table unit may sit on the floor, mount to a wall rail, or may have a projection dimensioned and configured to pass between the bottom of a mattress and the top of a box spring.

Abstract: The invention provides an in vitro method for non-invasive preimplantation assessment of an embryo by comprising amplifying and detecting a nucleic acid sequence of interest indicative of a genetic deficiency from a sample taken from the in vitro culture medium of the embryo and assessing the embryo as having a genetic deficiency if the presence of the sequence of interest is detected in the in vitro culture medium of the embryo. The examples show the detection of SNPs relating to the genes MDR1 and prothrombin and the SNP responsible for the Leiden syndrome. The application also mentions the possibility of establishing short tandem repeat (STR) marker profiles of DNA in the culture medium and full genome sequencing of the DNA in the culture medium as a means for determining embryo quality.

Abstract: In a method and apparatus for examination and evaluation of a blood flow in a pulmonary artery of a patient, measurement data are recorded, from which at least a part of the blood flow in the pulmonary artery is able to be re-constructed at least two-dimensionally in a plane defined by a longitudinal axis of the pulmonary artery and by an anterior-posterior direction, including at least at several diastolic points in time in the course of a heart cycle, after a closure of the pulmonary valve. The number of diastolic points for which an asymmetry in relation to the longitudinal axis of the pulmonary artery in the anterior-posterior direction exists is determined. A measure is then determined that characterizes how long, after the closure of the pulmonary valve, the aforementioned asymmetry exists.

Abstract: A lighter-than-air aircraft is propelled via a bending-rotating tail whip. Two actuating areas located on opposite sides in a rear area of a lifting gas body are shortened by activated actuators. A vertical plane of symmetry of the lifting gas body and thus, the lifting gas body itself, are pivoted in an area of bending zones about angles a and ?. An activated state exists when the actuator performs work for propelling the aircraft. Propulsion can be provided by deformation of the lifting gas body. Changes in direction can also be effected by asymmetrical sequences of movements.

Abstract: In a method and apparatus for examination and evaluation of a human or animal body as regards a blood flow in a pulmonary artery (PA), measurement data are recorded, from which at least a part of the blood flow in the pulmonary artery (PA) is able to be re-constructed at least two-dimensionally in a plane defined by a longitudinal axis of the pulmonary artery (PA) and by an anterior-posterior direction, including at least at several diastolic points in time in the course of a heart cycle, after a closure of the pulmonary valve. The measurement data are analyzed as to how many of the at least several diastolic points in time in the flow behavior of the blood flow of the pulmonary artery an asymmetry in relation to the longitudinal axis of the pulmonary artery in the anterior-posterior direction exists. A measure is then determined that characterizes how long, after the closure of the pulmonary valve in the flow behavior of the blood flow of the pulmonary artery, the aforementioned asymmetry exists.
