Abstract: In some embodiments, a method receives a set of objects for creating clusters based on a similarity measure between the objects and selects an object in the set of objects. A plurality of structures is constructed around the object where a size of each structure is a multiple of the similarity measure. The method selects a cluster of objects by analyzing objects within a first structure and a second structure in the plurality of structures around the object. Objects outside of the first structure and the second structure are not analyzed. The cluster of objects are removed from the set of objects. Then, the method performs the selecting of a cluster of objects for another object in the remaining objects in the set of objects and the removing the cluster of objects for the another object until all objects have been added to a cluster.

Abstract: An arrangement monitors an optical element. The arrangement includes: a light source configured to emit radiation onto a surface of the optical element; a detector configured to detect the radiation that has been at least partially reflected at the surface of the optical element; and a holder for the optical element, in which the light source and the detector are integrated. The holder has a cooling region through which a cooling liquid is configured to flow, the cooling region being in contact with the optical element. The holder has a reservoir, through which a beam path between the light source and the detector extends. The reservoir is configured to receive the cooling liquid leaking out at the optical element in case of a leakage.

Abstract: A housing for an inverter includes circuit elements and a cooling system, wherein the housing has four openings and the cooling system includes two channels arranged in the housing, each of which is connected to two different openings, and a condenser is arranged below the housing, wherein two openings from different channels are connected for communication by means of a connecting element arranged outside the housing and the connecting element is of rigid design and extends past the side of the condenser.

Abstract: In some embodiments, a method receives a set of objects for creating clusters based on a similarity measure between the objects and generates a data structure for the objects. The method generates link counts for objects by constructing links between objects in the set of objects based on entries between the objects. A link is constructed between the objects when the entry for the respective objects includes a first value. An object is selected that has a largest link count. The link count being a number of objects that are linked to the selected object. A cluster is created including the selected object and any objects that are linked to the selected object via the links. Then, the objects in the cluster are removed from the set of objects and a link count is reduced for objects that are linked to the removed objects. This process is continued for remaining objects.

Abstract: A method for producing a structured fibrous web, in particular a tissue web, includes bringing a fibrous suspension into contact with at least one structured forming belt and dewatering by using at least one dewatering element, in particular a suction element. The at least one structured forming belt includes a layer of polymer foam providing a paper-contacting side of the structured forming belt. The structure of the foam layer is at least partially transferred to the fibrous web. A structured forming belt and a machine for producing a fibrous web are also provided.

Abstract: A liquid-cooled electric drive component for a powertrain of a vehicle includes a first housing part and a second housing part.
