Abstract: The present disclosure is directed, among other things, to automated systems and methods for analyzing, storing, and/or retrieving information associated with biological objects including lymphocytes. In some embodiments, a shape metric is derived for each detected and segmented lymphocyte and the shape metric is stored along with other relevant data.

Abstract: A forming tool for shaping a workpiece, in particular a flat metal sheet, includes a female die, a blank holder, and a male die, all of which are movable relative to one another. The female die, the blank holder and/or the male die may be temperature-controlled in at least some portions thereof.

Abstract: A three-dimensionally structured fibrous web made up of continuous-filament layers which alternate perpendicular to the surface plane, and denser short-fiber layers that are permanently thermally bonded in a continuous or spot-like manner to the filament layers, the wide-mesh continuous-filament layers representing a scrim, lattice, or netting, has on the short-fiber layers repeating, fold- or wave-shaped elevations. In the manufacturing process, all of the layers of the laminate are subjected together to a shrinkage process at a temperature which lies between the softening and melting points of the scrim material.
