Abstract: Example embodiments of the present disclosure provide an example computer-implemented method for constructing a three-dimensional semantic segmentation of a scene from two-dimensional inputs. The example method includes obtaining, by a computing system comprising one or more processors, an image set comprising one or more views of a subject scene. The example method includes generating, by the computing system and based at least in part on the image set, a scene representation describing the subject scene in three dimensions. The example method includes generating, by the computing system and using a machine-learned semantic segmentation model framework, a multidimensional field of probability distributions over semantic categories, the multidimensional field defined over the three dimensions of the subject scene. The example method includes outputting, by the computing system, classification data for at least one location in the subject scene.

Abstract: In an optoelectronic module (1) comprising a plastics material package (2) accommodating a base (8) fixed to the package (2) and supporting an optical component (9) coupled by an optical fiber (5) to an optical connector (4) of the package (2), fiber displacements associated with thermal stresses are avoided by mounting the base so that it floats on the package (2) and possibly the connector (4). The floating mounting of the base (8) is obtained by using for fixing the base one or more adhesives (13, 14) having a greater elasticity than the adhesives used to fix each of the two ends (6, 7) of the fiber (5) to the base (8) and the connector (4), respectively.

Abstract: The crop engaging element of the present invention is a hollow structure having a smooth curved convex top portion which terminates in a concave trough before extending into a radially extending lip. The hollow structure is provided with sidewalls and a rear wall. The sidewalls extend upwardly to enclose the sides of the trough. The element is provided with leading and trailing mounting flanges for mounting the element to the exterior surface of a combine rotor.

Abstract: An axial agricultural combine having a single element rotor defining a rotor axis. The rotor is housed in a rotor housing having an infeed section, a threshing section and a separating section. The infeed section of the rotor housing defines a infeed axis, the threshing section of the rotor housing defines a threshing axis and the separating section of the rotor housing defines a separating axis. The infeed axis is parallel to and in line with the rotor axis. The threshing axis is parallel to and offset from the rotor axis. The threshing axis is offset above and downstream from the rotor axis. The separating axis is parallel to and offset from the rotor axis. The separating axis is offset above and downstream from the rotor axis. The separating axis is more offset from the rotor axis than the threshing axis is offset from the rotor axis.

Abstract: A method of electronic engine control for a motor vehicle includes sensing an ignition voltage of a final ignition stage, effecting a performance check of the final ignition stage in response to a control signal generated in response to sensing the ignition voltage of a final ignition stage, and providing an error flag if the control signal deviates from a predetermined control signal. An apparatus for performing the foregoing method comprises an electric control circuit that includes a sensor for detecting the ignition voltage, and control means that effects a performance check in response to a sensor output signal and emits the error flag in response to an error control signal.

Abstract: An internal combustion engine 30 capable of operating on petrol an/or methanol has an adaptive control system responsive to a lambda-sensor (23), a limiter device (21) and a multiplier device (22) which, in response to the richness of the air/fuel mixture, produce a signal (FMCOR) for influencing the fuel injection times (t.sub.i).

Abstract: In a drawing device for presses with a mechanically driven drawing ram (24) and with a sheet metal holder (5) exerting its holding force, acting on the metal sheet (27) and counteracting the drawing direction, by way of a pressure plate (7) by means of a die cushion piston (10), supporting the pressure plate and being under the effect of a pressure medium, in a fixed die cushion cylinder (12), the objective consists in avoiding, or at least reducing, the noise-generating impact shock upon impingement of the drawing ram (24) on the sheet metal holder (5) with the metal sheet (27) lying thereon.

Abstract: A hydraulic press which includes at least one cylinder piston unit for selectively displacing a punch. The cylinder piston unit includes at least one working chamber which communicates with a reversible continuously operating working pressure medium supplier having a variable output. At least one action stroke pressure unit is operatively connected to the punch and acts upon the same only during a segment of the motion of the punch in an action stroke direction. The action stroke pressure unit is temporarily connected to a pressure medium source having a higher pressure than the pressure produced by the pressure medium supplier.
