Abstract: A control circuit configured as a multi-criteria optimizer generates a radiation therapy treatment plan. The circuit then determines a resultant dose distribution as a function of the radiation therapy treatment plan and presents, on a display, at least a part of that resultant dose distribution. The latter may comprise, for example, presenting at least one isodose line on the display. The control circuit then detects user manipulation of a user interface. By one approach, this manipulation does not include corresponding immediate movement of any part of the presented resultant dose distribution itself. In particular, the detected user manipulation does not result in dragged movement of an isodose line on the display.

Abstract: A method in which a charging activation apparatus associated with an electric vehicle (i) receives a first instance of a charging session ID from first server apparatus associated with a first electricity provider which is the electricity provider of a driver or owner of the electric vehicle; (ii) receives a second instance of the charging session ID from second server apparatus associated with a second electricity provider which is the electricity provider for a power outlet with which the electric vehicle is currently electrically connected; (iii) compares the first and second instances of the charging session ID; (iv) determines if the first and second instances of the charging session ID correspond; and, if the first and second instances of the charging session ID are determined to correspond, (v) causes activation of charging of the electric vehicle via the electrical connection to the power outlet.

Abstract: An apparatus receives at least one set of sensor data from at least one mobile device. The sensor data was measured at a particular site and comprises at least motion related sensor data. The apparatus selects a set of parameter values for a parametric site model from a plurality of possible sets of parameter values. The set of parameter values is selected which has the highest likelihood that the parametric site model configured with the set of parameter values correctly represents the particular site in view of the received at least one set of sensor data.

Abstract: A method for manufacturing microelectromechanical flexural resonators with a deforming element that has an elongate body extending along a spring axis. A deforming element is positioned on the semiconductor wafer with a defined nominal n-type doping concentration such that a crystal orientation angle is formed between the spring axis of the deforming element and a crystal axis of the silicon semiconductor wafer. The combination of the crystal orientation angle and the nominal n-type doping concentration is adjusted to a specific range, based on total frequency error of the deforming element in a broad temperature range. The combination is optimized to a range where also sensitivity to variations in the material properties is minimized.
