Abstract: The invention relates to a domestic appliance having a device for locking a movable closing element, especially a door, cover, flap, or similar on a household appliance, particularly a dishwasher. The locking device includes a closing hook or closing pin disposed on the housing of the household appliance that engages with an engaging section in the closing element during locking and can be made to disengage therefrom during unlocking. The engaging section is formed by a cavity in the closing element.

Abstract: The invention relates to a lock for a movable closing element, especially a door, a cover, a flap, or similar on a domestic appliance such as a dishwasher, a washing machine, a refrigerator, or similar. The lock includes a closing hook that can be made to engage with the closing element when being closed and made to disengage therefrom when being opened. The closing hook can be made to engage with a cavity in the closing element.

Abstract: A door for a dishwasher, in particular for a domestic dishwasher, the door serving for opening and closing the interior of the dishwasher, comprising an inner door which, when the door is closed, is oriented towards the interior and has a surround comprising a top and a bottom periphery, which run essentially horizontally when the door is closed, and two side peripheries, which run essentially vertically when the door is closed, wherein a feed device for dispensing additives is arranged on the inner door, essentially centrally between the side peripheries and in the top third, in particular in the top quarter, of the region between the top and bottom peripheries.

Abstract: The invention relates two a jack connector assembly having a circuitry components integrated providing power over LAN, functionality, in particular for use with regard to Ethernet-networks. An object of the present invention is to provide a jack connector assembly providing integrated power over LAN-functionality and especially avoiding any undesirable and destructive heat accumulation.

Abstract: The invention relates to a closing mechanism for a mobile closing element, especially for a door, a cover, a flap or the like on a household appliance, such as a dishwasher machine, a washing machine, a refrigerator or the like, said mechanism comprising a carriage that can be displaced between a locking position and an unlocking position and is loaded by means of a spring in the direction of the locking position. The carriage carries a closing hook that can be engaged with the closing element for the closing action and/or disengaged therefrom for the opening action. A rotary latch can co-operate with the closing element during the closing action. As a result of this co-operation, said rotary latch acts on the carriage in such a way that the carriage is displaced into the locking position during the closing of the closing element by the force of the spring.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method and system for building a neural network is disclosed. The neural network predicts at least one target based upon predictor variables defined in a state space. First, an input data set is retrieved that includes the predictor variables and at least one target associated with the predictor variables for each observation. In the state space, a number of points is inserted in the state space based upon the values of the predictor variables. The number of points is less than the number of observations. A statistical measure is determined that describes a relationship between the observations and the inserted points. Weights and activation functions of the neural network are determined using the statistical measure.

Abstract: A method of reducing noise in an image including steps for obtaining a first value for a target pixel, obtaining a respective second value for each neighboring pixel surrounding the target pixel, identifying a spread for the second values, comparing the spread to a threshold value, and, if the spread if below the threshold value, calculating a new value using the second values, and replacing the first value with the new value.
