Abstract: A boring head is provided comprising a tool body (1) having a main rotation axis (R) about which the tool body (1) rotates during boring operations. The boring head further comprises a tool carrier (6) arranged in or on the tool body (1), a first motor (9) for displacing the tool carrier (6) relative to the tool body (1) and a clamping mechanism (26) with a clamping element (27, 55, 68, 81) for effecting a clamping force on the tool carrier (6), in order to prevent a displacement of the tool carrier (6) relative to the tool body (1) during boring operations. The clamping mechanism (26) is an active clamping mechanism which effects a clamping force that can be adjusted actively.

Abstract: A method for providing at least one functional component for an automatic lip reading process. The method includes providing at least one recording comprising audio information about speech of a speaker and image information about a mouth movement of the speaker, and training an image evaluation component, wherein the image information is used for an input of the image evaluation component and the audio information is used as a learning specification for an output of the image evaluation component in order to train the image evaluation component to artificially generate the speech during a silent mouth movement.

Abstract: A device for assisting in the intensive-care treatment of a patient for stationary use at the hospital bed of an intensive care unit is provided. The device has at least two different functional components for providing different functions for inputting and/or outputting information relating to the treatment, an input component for at least one input by a user and a dialogue component for dialogue-based interaction with the user based on the input, in order to use at least one of the provided functions. At least one of the functions is designed for filtering and outputting laboratory results of the patient.
