Abstract: A boat drive hydraulic steering unit has a steering cylinder unit, pump and tank. The cylinder unit has a first chamber, piston and second chamber. The pump is connected to the first and second chambers by respective first and second line. The first chamber is connected to the tank via the first line arrangement when the second chamber is pressurized, by the first line arrangement having a first check valve which opens when the second line arrangement is pressurized. The second chamber is connected to the tank via the second line arrangement when the first chamber is pressurized, by the second line arrangement having a second check valve which opens when the first line arrangement is pressurized. The first and second line arrangements have respective first and second throttling devices acting in the direction of flow towards the tank. A boat drive may include the steering unit.

Abstract: The disclosure relates to a computer-implemented method for the provision of a transformation instruction for registering a 2D image with a 3D image. The method includes: receiving the 2D image and the 3D image; generating input data based on the 2D image having contour pixels and the 3D image having contour voxels; applying a trained function to the input data for identification of contour pixels of the 2D image and contour voxels of the 3D image, wherein at least one parameter of the trained function is adjusted based on a comparison of training contour pixels with comparison contour pixels and a comparison of training contour voxels corresponding thereto with comparison contour voxels; determining the transformation instruction based on the identified contour pixels of the 2D image and the contour voxels corresponding thereto of the 3D image for registering the 2D image with the 3D image; and providing the transformation instruction.

Abstract: A yaw auto-calibration method configured to calibrate an anemometer of a yaw control system to correct for yaw misalignment, includes collecting wind speed and wind direction data from the anemometer over a plurality of time periods. The method includes determining from the collected data a wind direction compensation signal associated with a plurality of wind speed ranges. The step of determining a wind direction compensation signal includes determining from a plotted performance value, a maximum performance value for each wind speed range and the step of determining further includes correlating the maximum performance value for each wind speed range with the associated average generator speed and plotting the maximum performance wind direction against average generator speed for each wind speed range. The maximum performance wind direction associated with the average generator speed for each wind speed range constitutes the wind direction compensation signal for the wind speed range.

Abstract: A method for mechanically connecting a first electronic component, in particular a circuit board element, to a second electronic component, in particular a second circuit board element, includes arranging and orienting the first electronic component, which includes a first through-opening in a first direction, above the second electronic component in the first direction in such a way that a second through opening in the first direction or a blind hole in the first direction is arranged at least partially below the first through-opening in the first direction. The method further includes introducing a casting compound into the first through-opening and into the second through-opening or into the first through-opening and into the blind hole, and setting the casting compound in order to fix the first electronic component in relation to the second electronic component.

Abstract: A method for aligning a strip of labels, which contains a plurality of labels, relative to a cutting device, wherein the strip of labels is cut into labels by the cutting device that are subsequently applied to containers. In a learning mode, the strip of labels is automatically transported by a transport device and the position of the strip of labels relative to the cutting device is detected by a position sensor disposed as a first camera, and, in an aligning mode, an operator can then enter a desired cutting parameter in a machine control unit of an input unit. Information indicated of the desired cutting parameter relative to the strip of labels is then displayed to the operator on a screen, and the machine control unit controls the cutting device on the basis of the desired cutting parameter.
