  • Patent number: 11642984
    Abstract: A seat attachment system for a mass transit vehicle including a rail, a fastener and a seat interface. The rail, which is adapted to be secured to a chassis of the mass transit vehicle, has a longitudinal T-slot adapted to receive the fastener. The rail has two non-parallel sets of corrugations on its external face. The seat interface, which is adapted to be mounted to a seat frame, is also provided with two non-parallel sets of corrugations whose angle matches that of the sets of corrugations on the rail. The sets of corrugations are adapted to cooperate and interlock in pairs so as to respectively locate the seat interface, and thereby a seat to which it is attached, vertically and horizontally upon the fastener being tightened.

  • Publication number: 20220012531
    Abstract: The aim of the invention is to configure an image analysis device (BA). This is achieved in that a plurality of training images (TPIC) assigned to an object type (OT) and an object sub-type (OST) are fed into a first neural network module (CNN) in Order to detect image features. Furthermore, training output data sets (FEA) of the first neural network module (CNN) are fed into a second neural network module (MLP) in Order to detect object types using image features. According to the invention, the first and second neural network module (CNN, MLP) are trained together such that training output data sets (OOT) of the second neural network module (MLP) at least approximately reproduce the object types (OT) assigned to the training images (TPIC).
