Abstract: One or more three-dimensional models that corresponds to at least one two-dimensional image are determined by receiving image data that corresponds to the at least one two-dimensional image, generating features based on the image data corresponding to the at least one two-dimensional image, generating a representation vector for the at least one two-dimensional image by transforming the features into a predetermined amount of numerical representations corresponding to the features, and outputting the representation vector for the at least one two-dimensional image to facilitate a search query for the one or more three-dimensional models associated with the at least one two-dimensional image.

Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for a holographic streaming management system. In one implementation, a first media content item is received. Metadata tag(s) are associated with the first media content item. Based on one or more metadata tag(s), the first media content item is selected for presentation at a first holographic presentation device. The selected first media content item and a content presentation file associated with the first holographic presentation device are transmitted to the first holographic presentation device. Input(s) corresponding to a presentation of the first media content item via the first holographic presentation device are received. Based on the received input(s), aspect(s) of a transmission of a second media content item to the first holographic presentation device are adjusted.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for determining a present state of wear of a hydrostatic machine during the operation of the hydrostatic machine. The hydrostatic machine comprises a drive with variable rotational speed and a hydrostatic pump, wherein the drive is designed to drive the hydrostatic pump for generating a volume flow of a fluid, and wherein the hydrostatic machine is connected to a fluid transport channel in which the fluid is transported in a manner driven by the hydrostatic machine. The method has a step for determining a first torque of the drive at a specified drive vector. Furthermore, the method has a step for ascertaining a second torque of the drive at the specified drive vector using a first calculation method, and in addition, the method has a step for determining the present state of wear of the hydrostatic machine using a second calculation method, in order to compare the first determined torque and the second ascertained torque to one another.

Abstract: The object of the invention relates to a method for preparing optical fibers (1) each composed of a core (2) surrounded by a sheath (3), in order to create optical fibers with lateral light emission, the method being such that: the translational travel of optical fibers (1) is ensured in front of a station for emitting a laser beam (F), the laser beam (F) directed towards the optical fibers in order to create point-like alterations (4) in the sheath of the optical fibers is moved along a direction (T) transverse to the direction of translation (A) of the optical fibers and along a second way of the transverse direction (T), opposite to the first way.

Abstract: A method for the electrodeposition of a functional or decorative chromium layer onto a metallic substrate in an electrodeposition process from a halide-ion free and boric acid free aqueous electrolyte solution and to the coated product obtained thereby.

Abstract: A system and method for project-based uniform data analytics in a provider network. The system and method provide data projects. A data project is a secure container that brings people, data, and tools together to enable easy collaboration and access management for data analytic projects. A data project enables a group of users to collaborate on a particular business use case for producing and consuming data. A data project and its content are subject to their own access controls so that only authorized individuals, groups, and roles can access the projects and data that project has subscribed to, and only use tools permitted by project permissions.

Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for querying, retrieval, and presentation of data. A data analytic system can enable a user to provide input, through a device to query data. The data analytic system can identify the semantic meaning of the input and perform a query based on the semantic meaning. The data analytic system can crawl multiple different sources to determine a logical mapping of data for the index. The index may include one or more subject areas, terms defining those subject areas, and attributes for those terms. The index may enable the data analytic system to perform techniques for matching terms in the query to determine a semantic meaning of the query. The data analytic system can determine a visual representation best suited for displaying results of a query determined by semantic analysis of an input string by a user.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to the use of alkaline phosphatases, and in particular improved alkaline phosphatases such as RecAP, for the prevention, treatment, cure, or amelioration of the symptoms of acute kidney injury caused, e.g., by sepsis. The application relates to methods of preserving renal function renal function, shortening the duration of renal replacement therapy, increasing the creatinine clearance, decreasing the risk of death in subjects with sepsis-associate acute kidney injury (SA-AKI) or at risk of SA-AKI.

Abstract: A system (10) for monitoring a network is formed by a plurality of devices (12), each device (12) of the plurality of devices having at least one status sensor (13) measuring at least one physical parameter of the device (12). The system (10) further has a monitoring platform (14) communicating with the at least one status sensor (13) by means of a telecommunications network (16).
