  • Publication number: 20230186712
    Abstract: A method is provided for checking a substrate with a specified luminescent substance incorporated and/or applied areally. A substrate luminescent characteristic value for the substrate is ascertained, for which purpose a number N of luminescence intensity values are captured at respectively different locations on the value document, and the substrate luminescence characteristic value is ascertained in dependence on a rank order of the luminescence intensity values. It can be checked whether the substrate luminescence characteristic value meets a specified criterion.

  • Patent number: 11666155
    Abstract: A bed component, for example a mattress or a mattress base, includes a vacuum pump and at least one actuator which is adaptable in its height and/or firmness and has a maximum height in the non-actuated state, wherein the vacuum pump is fluidly connected to the actuator and a vacuum is formed in the actuator by the vacuum pump in the actuated state of the actuator and the height and/or firmness of the actuator is reduced, wherein the vacuum pump is provided in an area of the bed component external to the actuator. Further, a bed including a bed component is shown.

  • Publication number: 20220383495
    Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for performing probabilistic segmentation in anatomical image analysis, using a computer system. One method includes receiving a plurality of images of an anatomical structure; receiving one or more geometric labels of the anatomical structure; generating a parametrized representation of the anatomical structure based on the one or more geometric labels and the received plurality of images; mapping a region of the parameterized representation to a geometric parameter of the anatomical structure; receiving an image of a patient's anatomy; and generating a probability distribution for a patient-specific segmentation boundary of the patient's anatomy, based on the mapping of the region of the parameterized representation of the anatomical structure to the geometric parameter of the anatomical structure.
