Abstract: A membrane valve, with a valve housing, in which a housing interior is formed, in which housing interior a flexible control membrane is arranged. A drive plunger lies opposite a valve seat and the drive plunger has a shank body with a peripheral outer lateral surface. The outer lateral surface of the shank body of the drive plunger at least in the region of a guide section has a polygonally contoured prismatic shaping with a succession of outer side edges and outer side surfaces, wherein the edges and surfaces extend in the plunger longitudinal direction and the succession alternates in the circumferential direction of the drive plunger.

Abstract: The invention relates to a device (1) for endoscopic optoacoustic imaging comprising an imaging unit (2) configured to be at least partially inserted into an object (5), said imaging unit (2) comprising an irradiation unit (6) configured to irradiate a region of interest (7) inside the object (5) with electromagnetic radiation and a detection unit (8) comprising at least one ultrasound transducer configured to detect ultrasound waves generated in the region of interest (7) in response to irradiating the region of interest (7) with the electromagnetic radiation and to generate according detection signals, wherein the at least one ultrasound transducer exhibits a field of view (8b) being at least partially located in the irradiated region of interest (7).

Abstract: A method for behavior cloned vehicle trajectory planning is described. The method includes perceiving vehicles proximate an ego vehicle in a driving environment, including a scalar confidence value of each perceived vehicle. The method also includes generating a bird's-eye-view (BEV) grid showing the ego vehicle and each perceived vehicle based on each of the scalar confidence values. The method further includes ignoring at least one of the perceived vehicles when the scalar confidence value of the at least one of the perceived vehicles is less than a predetermined value. The method also includes selecting an ego vehicle trajectory based on a cloned expert vehicle behavior policy according to remaining perceived vehicles.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a sterilizing device (10) and to a method for sterilizing an outer face of a receptacle (22).

Abstract: A processing machine for processing a workpiece with a processing beam includes a nozzle changer and a protective enclosure. The nozzle change is for mounting nozzles on or demounting nozzles from a processing head of the processing machine. The nozzle changer has multiple nozzle holders for holding nozzles. The protective enclosure is configured to close off a working space for the processing of the workpiece with the processing beam from a working space surrounding area. The nozzle changer is movable between a nozzle changing position within the protective enclosure and a setup position outside the protective enclosure.

Abstract: A diaphragm valve includes a valve housing in which a switching rocker, which is pivotable about a pivot axis and which interacts with a control diaphragm for opening and closing at least one valve channel, is arranged. The pivot axis is defined by a mounting web, on which the switching rocker bears in a pivotably movable manner. The mounting web is an integral constituent of a mounting unit, said mounting unit being fastened to the valve housing in a drive chamber by way of fastening measures. Without the fastening measures, the mounting unit can be displaced in order to adjust a desired height distance of the mounting web.
