Abstract: Some embodiments are directed to a neural network training device for training a neural network. At least one layer of the neural network layers is a projection layer. The projection layer projects a layer input vector (x) of the projection layer to a layer output vector (y). The output vector (y) sums to the summing parameter (k).

Abstract: An automatically controlled washing machine having a detergent dispensing facility in an upper machine space of the washing machine, wherein the detergent dispensing facility has at least one chamber for hand-dosed addition of a portion of a powder detergent or a liquid detergent and a supply channel that supplies fresh water to the at least one chamber. At least one storage container in the upper machine space stores a liquid or gel-type detergent aid, which is automatically dosed by an automatic dosing facility assigned to the at least one storage container. The automatic dosing facility has a transfer line to supply a dose of the liquid or gel-type detergent aid to the washing machine tub. The supply channel has a bypass with an inlet side that is fluidly connected to the supply channel and an outlet side that is fluidly connected to the transfer line.

Abstract: The invention relates to a magnetic-field applicator for heating magnetic or magnetizable substances or particles in human or animal tissue having at least two magnet coils (1) for producing a magnetic alternating field, wherein the arrangement of the magnet coils (1) is matched to the body part (2) to be treated in such a way that the magnet coils (1) are on both sides of the body part (2) and the magnetic field produced is concentrated on the body part (2) to be treated. In this way, the volume within which the magnetic field needs to be produced is considerably reduced in comparison with whole-body applicators, which is associated with a lower performance of the magnetic-field applicator for producing the desired magnetic field strength. Furthermore, the magnetic alternating field can be focused on specific areas of the body part (2) to be treated.

Abstract: A homogenizer for homogenizing free-flowing substances, with a rotor which is mounted in a housing so that it can rotate and can be driven by a drive device. An element is mounted in the housing so that it can rotate and can be driven by a drive device independently of the rotor to homogenize and/or transport the liquid substance.

Abstract: A device for producing optically homogeneous, streak-free quartz glass bodies having a large diameter including a furnace or melting device having an inner chamber with a pair of openings opposite one another. One or more movable burners are displaceable into one of the openings and the respective glass body to be produced is located in the other opening. Both the burner and glass body are movably positioned. In the course of the production of the quartz glass body, a relative movement is effected in the axial and radial directions between the burner and the quartz glass body such that the distance from the burner outlet opening pertaining to the quartz glass body decreases as the distance from the burner to the X-X axis of the quartz glass body increases.
