  • Publication number: 20230316737
    Abstract: The present invention provides a method comprising the steps of: generating a second anchor on the second convolutional feature map by scaling and shifting a first anchor in the ground-truth box; generating a third convolutional feature map by convolving the second convolutional feature map by means of a second convolution; determining whether the overlap ratio between the ground-truth box and a second single anchor is greater than or equal to a reference value; generating a third anchor by scaling and shifting the second anchor having an overlap ratio that is greater than or equal to the reference value; assigning an objectivity score to the third anchor; and presenting the third anchor, which has an objectivity score that is equal to or greater than a reference value, as a proposal on the third convolutional feature map.

  • Patent number: 11697115
    Abstract: A dispensing device which has a dispensing channel extending between a supply opening and an output opening into the course of which a pump, a selection valve and a dispensing valve are connected. The selection valve is also connected to a pressurised air source. The dispensing device allows a dispensed output of a fluid, wherein a buffer channel portion is filled by the pump in a pump dispensing phase, to which buffer channel portion pressure is applied from the pressurised air source during a pressurised air dispensing phase such that a precise fluid output is subsequently possible by clocked actuation of the dispensing valve until the target fluid amount has been reached.

  • Publication number: 20230004826
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method for determining an output signal characterizing a classification and/or a regression result of an input signal. The method includes: determining a feature representation characterizing the input signal; determining an intermediate signal characterizing a classification and/or regression result of the feature representation; predicting, based on the feature representation and the intermediate signal, a deviation of the intermediate signal from a desired output signal of the input signal; adapting the intermediate signal according to the determined deviation thereby determining an adapted signal; providing the adapted signal as output signal.

  • Publication number: 20210342689
    Abstract: A method for producing a knowledge graph having triples, in particular in the form of <entity A, entity B, relation between entity A and entity B>. The method includes: providing a body of text and input data for a model, determining with the aid of model triples including two entities of the knowledge graph and a relation between the two entities in each case, and determining an explanation for verifying the respective triple using the model. The following steps are carried out for determining a respective triple and for determining an explanation: classifying relevant areas of the body of text and discarding areas of the body of text classified as not relevant, and deriving a relation between the first entity and the second entity from the relevant areas of the body of text.

  • Patent number: 10863767
    Abstract: A delivery device for smokable cannabis and a manufacturing method for same with a defined active cannabis compound. Plant material from a plurality of cannabis plants representing a plurality of cannabis cultivars is harvested based on parent cultivars' active cannabis compound profile. Plant material is shredded to a size range applicable to loading into a smokable device, measured proportions of plant materials are combined to produce a mixed batch with a projected desirable active cannabis compound profile. Material is then processed, analyzed, loaded into smokable delivery device, labeled and distributed.
