  • Patent number: 9950719
    Abstract: An operating system for operating functional units in a rail vehicle. At least one base station is provided in each car of the rail vehicle. Each base station communicates, via a wireless interface, with a mobile terminal of an authenticated user, in particular an authenticated train conductor, who operates functional units of the rail vehicle via a graphical user interface of the mobile terminal.

  • Publication number: 20140310648
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method and a system for browsing medical thumbnail objects to be displayed on a window on a monitor before loading the medical objects. It is possible to load only those images which indeed are relevant for a user and thus to save transmission time. A display pattern for displaying the thumbnail objects is user-selectable and includes a number of objects to be displayed and advantageously the arrangement or pattern remains constant, even in case a window size has been modified. Using a fixed but user-selectable layout pattern supports selection of relevant images during browsing. The window size is also user-selectable. After having determined the display pattern and the window size the size of the thumbnail objects is calculated automatically according to the determined display pattern and the determined window size. The thumbnail objects are displayed in the calculated object size, which favorably simplifies browsing of complex medical images.

  • Patent number: 8515662
    Abstract: A method and arrangement are configured for determination of the energy consumption of a transportation device per section of the route, in urban traffic, for example. In an embodiment, current energy consumption data is compared to reference data from a fleet of transportation devices. The result is visually conveyed to the driver to allow them an interpretation of the energy consumption and to provide motivation for energy-saving driving behavior. An evaluation of the energy consumption data relative to the route allows specific feedback, for example, that the driver has achieved an energy-saving best value for a section of the route. The gathered data can also be used to pay bonuses or to initiate training measures.

  • Publication number: 20130054711
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for classifying a communication of an investigated user with at least one other user has the steps of providing electronic messages exchanged by the investigated user with the at least one other user; and classifying the communication of the investigated user with the at least one other user depending on at least one calculated communication metric of the electronic messages exchanged by the investigated user with the respective at least one other user.

  • Publication number: 20110295834
    Abstract: A user is provided with an analytical function which indicates an individual contribution of each search term used in a complex search query by a graphical, typographical or numerical indicator. For this purpose there is started in the background for each search term a search query which consists of the complex search query without the respective search term. The hit count obtained in this way is subtracted from the total hit count of the search query with the respective search term. The difference is a numerical indicator for the individual contribution of the respective search term to the total hit count. Thus, the user quickly and conveniently obtains a reference point indicating which search terms are crucial to the search query. The user can thus selectively refine the search query by explicitly specifying less significant search terms or removing overly restrictive search terms.
