Abstract: The invention relates to a method for the training of a classifier based on weakly labeled images and for the binary classification of an image. The training of the classifier comprises the steps of automatically and iteratively determining initial regions of interest for a training set and further on refining said regions of interest and adapting the classifier onto the refined regions of interest by a classifier refinement procedure. Further on, for a query image with unknown classification, an initial region of interest is determined and refined as to maximize the probability value derived at the output of said classifier. The query image is automatically assigned a negative classification label if said probability value is lower than or equal to a predetermined first threshold. The query image is automatically assigned a positive classification label if said probability value is greater than a predetermined second threshold.

Abstract: A method for injecting a fluid, in particular a fuel, performs the following steps: A nozzle (1) which can be actuated by a piezo element (5) is provided. A current pulse (12a) is supplied to the piezo element (5). The capacity (16) of the piezo element (5) is recorded at the time when the current pulse (12a) is supplied. An actual characteristic curve of the injection is recorded based on the capacity (16). The current pulse (12a) is regulated in order to optimize the injection based on the actual characteristic curve of the injection.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method and an apparatus for imprinting a booklet-like object in a printing station. In order to develop a method and apparatus of the above type while reducing method steps and simplifying a structure of a corresponding apparatus, it is proposed that a booklet-like object (2) is inserted in an opened state into a drawer (3) and fed to a printing mechanism of a standard printer and is covered with a printing mask (6) and pressed into a new defined printing plane, wherein the new printing plane is created using a spacer element (5).

Abstract: A gas-insulated switchgear assembly (1) or component of a gas-insulated switchgear assembly is proposed which has an outdoor bushing (6) through which at least one high voltage-carrying conductor (7) is passed. A surge arrester (8) is arranged essentially parallel to the outdoor bushing (6) and is connected to the high voltage-carrying conductor (7) and/or to the top part of the outdoor bushing (6) via a high voltage-side connection piece (9) and to the foot part of the outdoor bushing (6) and/or to the housing of the gas-insulated switchgear assembly or the component of the gas-insulated switchgear assembly via a housing-side connection piece (10).

Abstract: A circuit breaker and/or earthing switch are disclosed wherein a rotatable spindle nut, which is mounted in a spindle housing, displaces a spindle in a translatory manner, thus displacing contact elements of the switching device. The spindle actuates a contact pin that is configured in a contact carrier by a connection yoke that is common to all phases or poles and an isolating bar for each phase or pole.

Abstract: The present invention relates PI3K crystals, polypeptide muteins, polypeptide fragments, antibodies thereto, nucleic acids coding for these polypeptides, methods of modifying PI3K? activity, and methods of modulating PI3K? activity. These include polypeptides and methods thereof, relating to, e.g., phospholipid binding, lipid kinase activity, modulating Ras activity in activating the PI3K?, binding of PI3K? to cell membranes, and modulating protein—protein interactions with PI3K?.

Abstract: To minimize the overall circuitry necessary in a multiband-frequency generator, output terminals of a voltage-controlled multiband oscillator (22-1, . . . , 22-N) are coupled to a frequency synthesis unit (10) via a frequency selective coupling unit (24). The frequency synthesis unit (10) derives a phase difference between a frequency control input signal and the output signal of the frequency selective coupling unit (24) to control the voltage-controlled multiband oscillator (22-1, . . . , 22-N).

Abstract: To avoid any dead time when switching between different frequency bands it is proposed to set a programmable multiband frequency synthesizer unit (12) adapted to generate an output signal in at least two frequency bands into a sleep mode before switching to a new frequency band, then to program the programmable multiband frequency synthesizer unit (12) according to the new frequency band, and finally to activate the programmable multiband frequency synthesizer unit (12) for operation in the new frequency band.

Abstract: The invention relates to a process for treating metal surfaces, preferably of aluminum, aluminum alloys and steel, for the subsequent application of organic coating compositions. The metal surfaces are wetted with an aqueous bath solution containing chromium(III)ions, fluoride ions and an organic film former which is soluble or homogeneously dispersible in water, after which the solution applied is dried and converted by heating into a water-insoluble film.The bath solution preferably contains the following constituents and approximate quantities thereof: 0.5 to 10 g/l of chromium(III)ions, 0.55 to 11 g/l of fluoride ions, 0.6 to 12.5 g/l of phosphate ions, and 0.15 to 5.0 g/l of organic film former. The organic film former preferably used is a polymer containing free carboxyl groups, more preferably a homopolymer and/or copolymer of acrylic and/or methacrylic acid.
