Abstract: A system includes a container and a security label. The container is divisible into a plurality of parts and has a container body and a removable container closure. The security label has a first label section and a second label section forming respective parts of a common material web and a severing element which is arranged between the first and second label section with respect to a longitudinal axis of the security label. The security label is applied to the container such that the first label section is attached to the container body and the second label section surrounds the container closure. The second label section is formed such that the security label is closed along an edge line above the container closure by gluing and/or welding such that the second label section encloses the removable container closure.

Abstract: The application relates to a power switch for breaking an electrical circuit when current and/or current time span threshold values are exceeded, including an energy converter, which on the primary side is connected to the electrical circuit, and on the secondary side provides an energy supply for at least one control unit of the power switch. A choke is connected between the secondary-side output of the energy converter and the control unit of the power switch.

Abstract: A method for producing a nanocrystalline, gas-sensitive layer structure. The method for producing a nanocrystalline, gas-sensitive layer structure on a substrate comprises the steps: depositing a base layer made of a base material; depositing a doping layer made of a doping material; repeating the preceding steps; and performing a tempering step, whereby a gas-sensitive, nanocrystalline layer structure is produced.

Abstract: Synthetic CT is estimated for planning or other purposes from surface data (e.g., depth camera information). The estimation uses parameterization, such as landmark and/or segmentation information, in addition to the surface data. In training and/or application, the parameterization may be used to correct the predicted CT volume. The CT volume may be predicted as a sub-part of the patient, such as estimating the CT volume for scanning one system, organ, or type of tissue separately from other system, organ, or type of tissue.

Abstract: A method is described for controlling a tube current for acquiring at least one X-ray image.

Abstract: For topogram predication from surface data, a sensor captures the outside surface of a patient. A generative adversarial network (GAN) generates the topogram representing an interior organ based on the outside surface of the patient. To further adapt to specific patients, internal landmarks are used in the topogram prediction. The topogram generated by one generator of the GAN may be altered based on landmarks generated by another generator.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method is for classifying a body type of at least one person. In an embodiment, the method includes receiving at least one image data record of the respective person, which maps at least one subarea of the person; and ascertaining a body type for the person by an optimization method. A respective person model is used for each of the possible body types, which as a function of at least one person parameter determines an expected person geometry of the person described by the person model. The body type is selected by the optimization method by a similarity measure for the similarity of the image data record or a person geometry ascertained from the image data record being optimized with the expected person geometry by selecting the body type.

Abstract: A procedure is provided for actuating at least one main headlamp of a lighting unit for a motor vehicle. An overall light distribution generated by means of at least two segments of a segmented light module is allocated to a light function. The light control switches on or switches off the light function depending on at least one electric input signal of the light control. In order to facilitate the application of an animation of a vehicle lighting for a plurality of vehicle and environmental situations, the overall light distribution of the light function is built up from a plurality of light distribution segments (a-f; a-b; a-c). Each of the light distribution segments (a-f; a-b; a-c) is generated by means of at least one segment of the segmented light module. The plurality of light distribution segments (a-f; a-b; a-c) are switched on and/or switched off by the light control in a previously determined and stored sequence.

Abstract: Machine learning is used to train a network to predict the location of an internal body marker from surface data. A depth image or other image of the surface of the patient is used to determine the locations of anatomical landmarks. The training may use a loss function that includes a term to limit failure to predict a landmark and/or off-centering of the landmark. The landmarks may then be used to configure medical scanning and/or for diagnosis.
