  • Patent number: 11959990
    Abstract: An MRI phantom for calibrated anisotropic imaging includes a plurality of separate sheathed taxons or integral taxons sharing common taxon walls, wherein each taxon has an inner diameter of less than 5 microns. The taxons form taxon filaments that are combined to form taxon ribbons. The taxons may have an average inner diameter of less than 1 micron, specifically about 0.8 microns with a packing density of about 1,000,000 per square millimeter. The filaments may include structural features such as an outer frame and crossing support ribs and may further include a visible alignment feature that allows for verifying orientation of an individual filament. The taxons may be formed as taxon fibers manufactured using a bi or tri-component textile/polymer manufacturing process. An anisotropic homogeneity phantom may include frame members that support fiber tracks extending in orthogonal directions, wherein each fiber track is formed of taxons.

  • Publication number: 20230297051
    Abstract: The embodiment relates to a method for predicting a charging power demand for electric vehicles (202). In the method, movement data (204) describing current and/or expected movements of the electric vehicles (202) and energy demand data (205) on planned and/or expected required charges of electric energy for one electric vehicle (202) at a time are recorded in a data cloud (201). The movement data (204) and the energy demand data (205) are used to determine an anticipated spatial and temporal distribution of a charging power demand for supplying the electric vehicles (202) with electrical energy.

  • Publication number: 20200122291
    Abstract: A device and a method for processing, in particular edge processing, an optical lens, wherein the device has a measuring system, a processing system, a loading system, an unloading system, an intermediate conveyor, and a belt conveyor. The loading system is arranged between the measuring system and the processing system. The unloading system is arranged on the opposite side of the processing system. A lens that is to be processed is picked up and oriented at the optical reference point that is determined by the measuring system in order to determine as precisely as possible the blocking point for the subsequent processing. The loading system and unloading system each have a linearly movable swiveling system with linearly movable suction devices arranged therein. The processing system is designed for the simultaneous processing of two lenses.
