Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for training a diffusion neural network to perform object insertion or subject-driven image generation on a large-scale, automatically generated training dataset.

Abstract: An ice dispenser for dispensing ice that includes a housing having an inlet opening for introducing uncomminuted pieces of ice into the housing and an outlet opening for dispensing at least one of the uncomminuted pieces of ice or comminuted pieces of ice from the housing. The ice dispenser further includes an ice comminution device including a rotatable shaft supporting a blade arrangement and a counterblade arrangement operable to rotate along with the rotatable shaft, and a locking device, wherein based on a position of the locking device, the counterblade arrangement is operated to rotate along with the shaft or to be fixed with the housing. In an exemplary embodiment of the invention, the at least one counterblade of the counterblade arrangement includes a catch for engaging with a counter-catch of the locking device. As such, an undesired release of the counter blade for the locking means may be prevented.

Abstract: A continuous flow catheter is disclosed. The catheter includes a proximal portion having first proximal end, a first distal end, and an intake lumen and a return lumen. Each of the intake and return lumens extends between the first proximal end and the first distal end. The catheter also includes a connector portion fixedly connected to the first distal portion, wherein the return lumen terminates at the connector portion. The catheter also includes a distal portion having a second proximal end, a second distal end, and a distal lumen extending between the second proximal end and the second distal end. The second distal end is fixedly connected to the connector portion such that the distal lumen and the intake lumen are in fluid communication with each other.
