Abstract: The invention relates to a method for producing standardised or quantified plant materials having reduced variance in phytonutrients, in particular from medicinal plants, using a mixture calculator.

Abstract: Systems and methods for monitoring components of a manufacturing application system (e.g., MES or MOM) with respect to application-specific metrics is provided. The MES may include software or a computer system used to monitor, control, and log processes employed to transform raw materials to products in an industrial automation system. The industrial automation system may include a monitoring system that receive a first set of data associated with application-specific metrics corresponding to the manufacturing application system as well as a second set of data from components associated with the manufacturing application system. The monitoring system may store a third set of data, in which the second set of data is organized with respect to the first set of data in a database.

Abstract: The embodiments of the present invention provide novel techniques for visualizing parameter values, such as parameter values measured in an industrial measurement process. In particular, the disclosed embodiments provide visualization techniques for re-scaling a representation of a target parameter range with respect to an overall parameter range for a parameter value. Re-scaling the representation of the target parameter range effectively provides continuous dynamic zooming for the measured parameter value. This allows for better visualization as well as providing continuous feedback to an operator of the industrial measurement process regarding the current measured parameter value, thereby facilitating faster and more accurate operation of the industrial measurement process.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for providing corrected data in order to generate a model of a monitoring area which is located in the respective visual range of at least two opto-electronic sensors for determining the position of detected objects, based on the amounts of raw data elements corresponding to object points in said monitoring area, said amounts of raw data elements being respectively detected by one of the sensors when the visual range is sensed and associated therewith, and the amounts of raw data elements from various sensors which are temporally linked to each other forming a group. The raw data elements corresponding to said amounts respectively comprise at least the coordinates of object points detected by the associated sensor in relation to the position of the detecting sensor.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for detecting and tracking objects based on deep resolution images containing pixels of at least one object, captured over a period of time by at least one sensor for detecting electromagnetic radiation, in particular a laser scanner, in a detection zone of the sensor. According to said method the following steps are carried out in successive cycles: at least one current object outline is formed from the pixels of a current image; at least one object outline is predicted in the current cycle for objects in a preceding cycle, starting from the respective object outline that was assigned to the corresponding object in the previous cycle; and a current position is determined for at least one of the objects, from the current object outline and/or the speed of an object is determined from the current object outline and the object outline in a preceding cycle.
