Abstract: The present invention relates to filtering textual data based on topic relevancy. More particularly, the present invention relates to generating training data to train a computer model to substantially filter out irrelevant data from a collection of data that may include both irrelevant and relevant data. Aspects and/or embodiments seek to provide a method for filtering data when generating datasets of short-form data for topics of interest. Aspects and/or embodiments also seek to provide a training dataset that can be used to train a computer model to perform relevancy/irrelevancy filtering of short-form data using relevant and irrelevant extracts from long-form data.

Abstract: A set of surgical instruments for the fusion of vertebrae contains supporting elements that have a threaded stem that can be screwed into the vertebra and a head part positioned at the outer end of the threaded stem. A connection unit is fitted between the supporting elements and a fixating device serving to brace together the supporting elements and the connection unit, and the head part of the supporting element has an accepting opening suitable for joining the connecting unit. The accepting opening is formed by the unification of an introductory cleft running from the outer surface of the head part and penetrating into the head part, and a lead-through seat that forms the continuation of the introductory cleft, is worked into the head part and bells out from there. The head part has a fusion opening that has a first connection piece and ends in the lead-through seat, and the fixating device has a tightening body that is positioned in the fusion opening so that it may move.

Abstract: A method for producing workpieces with surfaces of non-circular but regular cross-sections with a working tool, wherein the workpiece is rotated about its own axis and the axis of the workpiece is rotated around an axis being eccentric to the axis of the workpiece and the two rotations being brought into a certain relationship according to the surface to be generated. According to the invention the axis of the workpiece is rotated mechanically independently from the eccentric axis and the relationship between the two rotations is established and maintained by an electrical control into which parameters of the surface to be produced are fed and with which the rotations of the axis are monitored and, in dependency of the fed-in and monitored factors, into rotational drives of the axes is interfered, respectively.

Abstract: The present invention relates to controlling germination of barley in the malting process. More particularly, the invention relates to the treatment of malting barley by ionizing radiation prior to the malting process.
