Abstract: A method for correcting colors of a color reproduction of a digital microscope and a digital microscope are described. In a first step of a method according to the invention, a color image of a sample that is to be examined under the microscope is recorded. When the recording is performed, wavelength-dependent properties of a microscope illumination unit that illuminates the sample are determined in order to describe a state of the microscope illumination unit, in that settings selected at the microscope illumination unit are captured. A set of correction values is determined, which is associated with a state of the microscope illumination unit that is selected in accordance with the state of the microscope illumination unit determined when the recording is performed. In a further step, the colors of the recorded color image of the sample are corrected by applying the correction values of the previously determined set.

Abstract: A method is provided for channel estimation of an antenna array comprising multiple antenna elements. The method comprises obtaining channel state information for antenna elements with a high-end radio frequency chain, wherein the antenna elements with the high-end radio frequency chain are placed in the antenna array intermittently with antenna elements with a low-cost radio frequency chain. Channel state information is estimated for the antenna elements with the low-cost radio frequency chain, by interpolating the channel state information obtained for the antenna elements with the high-end radio frequency chain.

Abstract: Disclosed is a method for controlling a regenerative brake system with a number of friction brakes (F) and an electro-regenerative brake (R), whose total deceleration is composed of deceleration components of the brakes, and the actual deceleration components are desired to correspond to the nominal deceleration components as exactly as possible. A control unit is used to change the ratio of the nominal deceleration components of a number of brakes (R, F) relative to each other by determining a correction value (k1, k2) for a number of the brakes based on the quantities of efficiency w of a number of brakes representing the ratio between the actual deceleration (aactual) and the nominal deceleration (anominal), which correction value is applied to the nominal deceleration (anominal) of these brakes.

Abstract: A geodesic measurement system having a geodesic measurement device. A unique identification code is allocated to each of the target objects, such that the target objects can be differentiated from one another based on the identification code. The measurement device has a distance and angle measurement functionality for determining the position of the target objects. The measurement device is designed for emission of the beam such that the identification code of a target object that is searched for from the target object volume can be modulated to the beam as a code to be searched for. The target unit has an evaluation component connected to the detector for inspecting correspondence between the code modulated to the beam and the own identification code of the target unit and a transmission component for transmission of a reactive confirmation signal to the geodesic measurement device that takes place upon correspondence being determined.

The vehicle wheels of the motor vehicle associated with an axle are at least partially driven by ‘WV’ an electric motor that can be operated as a generator during regeneration of braking energy, thus exerting a braking regeneration el torque on the respective axle. To prevent overbraking on the rear axle, the regeneration torque acting on at least one rear axle (HA) is limited such that the slippage present on the at least one vehicle wheel of the rear axle (HA) does not exceed or only negligibly exceeds a first slippage threshold individually associated with the respective vehicle wheel.
