Abstract: A method for detecting a lane for a driver assistance system. The method includes an arranging step in which a grid is arranged over a camera image from a vehicle camera, the camera image displaying a roadway. In a displaying step, a lane candidate is displayed using at least one parameter and/or a confidence value for the lane candidate when the at least one lane candidate is detected in at least one cell of the grid. In a filtering-out step, the lane candidate is filtered out when the confidence value of the lane candidate is below a defined confidence threshold. In a back-transforming step, the lane candidate is transformed back to a fixed number of keypoints per lane candidate when the confidence value of the lane candidate is above the confidence threshold, to obtain the lane. In a determining step, 3D coordinates for the lane are determined using the keypoints.

Abstract: Disclosed is a method for analyzing recorded telephone calls in order to predict business outcomes. The method involves recording a series of initial telephone calls and analyzing those calls for particular audio features. The audio features are tabulated and annotated to specify whether the telephone call resulted in a pre-determined business outcome. A model is then built whereby the pre-determined business outcome can be predicted based upon the presence of certain audio features. The model can subsequently be used to predict whether future calls are likely to result in the pre-determined business outcome.

Abstract: A reinforced hose coupling including an end fitting having first and second, axially extending sections with the first section comprising a connector and a second section providing a nipple with external grooves. A metal ferrule is mounted on the nipple and is connected to the end fitting. The ferrule has an external depression formed in a side thereof. Two holes are formed in this depression and extend through the wall of the ferrule. A reinforced hose end having flexible tubular rubber or plastic layers is crimped between the ferrule and the nipple. The hose end has an outer wire extending about the exterior of the tubular layers. An end piece of this wire extends through the holes and across the depression helping to secure the hose end to the coupling and providing an indication to the user that the coupling is in usable condition. Preferably the ferrule is formed with a circumferentially extending internal rim at one end, which rim is forced into a circumferential groove formed in the end-fitting.

Abstract: Method for luminosity measuring advantageously in TLD evaluation equipment in the course of which a photomultiplier current is made proportional with light intensity and the current is measured; and sensitivity control of photomultiplier is conducted by varying its supply voltage if the current is above a given level. The change is stored. The measurement is conducted in analog or digital form. Circuit arrangement to implement the procedure has a photomultiplier tube (11), high voltage power supply and level sensor, the input of the photomultiplier tube being connected to the output of the high voltage power supply, the output of the tube being connected to the input of the level sensor. A control unit (14) is provided, whose input is connected to the output of the level sensor (12), and its output is connected to the input of the high voltage power supply.

Abstract: Circuit arrangement intended for evaluating currents of 7 or 8 orders of magnitude, particularly in thermoluminescent dosemeter (TLD) evaluation equipment, which comprises a digital gate (12) with a feedback tag (13) and a charging capacitor (11) connected to the input of the digital gate (12). The other terminal of the charging capacitor (11) is connected to a stable voltage line, practically to ground. For varying the time constant the circuit arrangement has at least one control capacitor (14a to 14n) connected serially with corresponding electronic switches (15a to 15n). The other terminal of the control capacitors (14a to 14n) are connected to the input of the digital gate, through the input line (b) of the circuit arrangement. The switching inputs of the electronic switches are connected to control lines (v1 to vn), while other terminals of them are connected to stabilized voltage lines (e1 to en).
