Abstract: Techniques and methods for performing collision monitoring using error models. For instance, a vehicle may generate sensor data using one or more sensors. The vehicle may then analyze the sensor data using systems in order to determine parameters associated with the vehicle and parameters associated with another object. Additionally, the vehicle may process the parameters associated with the vehicle using error models associated with the systems in order to determine a distribution of estimated locations associated with the vehicle. The vehicle may also process the parameters associated with the object using the error models in order to determine a distribution of estimated locations associated with the object. Using the distributions of estimated locations, the vehicle may determine the probability of collision between the vehicle and the object.

Abstract: In a process for producing protein preparations from sunflower seeds a protein-containing flour made of dehulled and deoiled sunflower seeds preferably having a protein solubility in water at pH 6 of >15% by mass and/or at pH 7 of >25% by mass relative to the protein content in the flour is subjected to at least one extraction step with water at a pH of more than 4 and less than 9 to obtain a liquid phase as an extract and a solids-rich phase as a raffinate. Before and/or during the extraction step the oxygen concentration in the water is reduced to a value <7 mg/l and/or an oxidation activity is reduced by addition of antioxidant components to the water. After separation of the extract and the raffinate the extract is concentrated and/or dried to obtain a protein preparation having a high protein content. The process makes it possible to obtain qualitatively high-grade and sensorily appealing light-coloured protein preparations having a protein content greater than 75% by mass.
