Abstract: For viability determination with self-attention for process optimization, various process and state information in the manufacture (e.g., forming, assembling, and/or handling) of a part are embedded. A machine-learned model generates the embedding, which is used with self-attention similarity to identify similar cases based on the embedding. The model was trained using both regression for continuous information (e.g., variable names) in the embedding and classification for non-continuous information (e.g., value of a variable) in the embedding. By including both regression and classification, the same machine-learned model may be used for reliable and nuanced viability determination.

Abstract: At least one example embodiment relates to an apparatus, machine-readable program code, a storage medium and computer-implemented method for the automatic classification of emitter structures embodied to emit electrons for the generation of X-rays, wherein the classification takes place on the basis of a reference image of an emitter structure, wherein the classification comprises a first class and at least one second class, wherein the first class corresponds to a substantially defect-free emitter structure and the at least one second class corresponds to a defective emitter structure. Since, for the classification, an image embodied as a fusion image from a bright-field image and a dark-field image is referred to and the classification of the emitter structure into the first and the second class takes place on the basis of this image, improved defect checking of emitter structures can be provided.

Abstract: An x-ray imaging system has an x-ray source having an electron field emission source that emits an x-ray beam that strikes an elongated, stationary anode in an evacuated housing. A magnetic deflection system steers the electron beam between the electron field emission source and the anode, so that the electron beam can strike the anode at different locations, thereby causing x-rays to be emitted from those different locations, by controlling the degree of magnetic deflection. A radiation detector detects the x-rays after attenuation by an examination subject, and generates signals dependent on the detected radiation that represent an image of the subject.
