  • Patent number: 11599738
    Abstract: Method for examining a multiplicity of distributed objects (1) by using an overview image (200) of the area (2) in which the objects (1) are distributed, wherein the overview image (200) is converted (110) into a binary image (210) by virtue of the intensity values (202) of the pixels (201) of the overview image (200) being classified (202a, 202b) as to whether they are on the near or far side of a prescribed threshold (208); the binary image (210) is cleared (120) of structures (219) that are smaller than the objects (1), so that a cleared image (220) is produced; and the cleared image (220) is morphologically closed (130), so that a binary object mask (230) is produced that indicates which locations in the area (2) belong to objects (1) and which locations in the area (2) do not belong to an object.

  • Patent number: 11479629
    Abstract: Provided is a method for the production of a crosslinked molded body containing polyaryletherketone (PAEK), comprising the steps of (a) providing a mixture comprising a PAEK and a crosslinker, (b) preparing a molded body from the mixture, and (c) thermally treating the molded body at a temperature at which PAEK crosslinks, thereby obtaining the crosslinked molded body, and wherein the crosslinker is a di(aminophenyl) compound comprising two aminophenyl rings, wherein the two aminophenyl rings are joined together via an aliphatic group having a carbocyclic rest.
