Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide a position-based dynamics approach for simulating objects using a set of points and constraints, applied as equations that restrict the relative motion of bodies. Forces are applied to the points to move them, and the constraints ensure that the points will not move in a way that is inconsistent with rules of the simulation. The present invention improves upon existing PBD approaches by using regularized constraints that directly correspond to well-defined energy potentials, and which can advantageously be solved independent of time step and iteration count.

Abstract: A method of treating a patient who has prostate cancer includes administering to said patient a composition containing a population of activated T cells that selectively recognize cells in the patient that aberrantly express a peptide. A pharmaceutical composition contains activated T cells that selectively recognize cells in a patient that aberrantly express a peptide, and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier, in which the T cells bind to the peptide in a complex with an MHC class I molecule, and the composition is for treating the patient who has prostate cancer. A method of treating a patient who has prostate cancer includes administering to said patient a composition comprising a peptide in the form of a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, thereby inducing a T-cell response to the prostate cancer.

Abstract: Wedgelet-based coding in conjunction with the usage of coding blocks of varying size is rendered more efficient by the usage of a variable length coded syntax element having a prefix and a suffix, wherein the size of the suffix is dependent on the prefix and the size of the current coding block. By this measure, it is feasible to efficiently adapt the length of the variable-length coded syntax element which controls the bi-partitioning of the current coding block to the actual needs, namely the size, of the current coding block, and the variability of the bi-partitioning by varying the wedglet separation line, respectively. The greater the current coding block is, the longer the variable-length coded syntax element may be. This length dependency may even be sufficiently effective in terms of coding efficiency so that the variable length coded syntax element may be coded without context-adaptive entropy coding, but directly or using fixed-equal-probability binary entropy coding.
