Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide improved methods, techniques, and systems to compute relevant and useful information that may be presented to users in an understandable, intuitive, and actionable platform. The interactive platform includes a format and visualization that is capable of presenting data for a wide range of protocols and topologies at various functional layers of the network. The interactive platform provides selectable categories of filters which update the network data and views displayed to the users to aid in the analysis and investigation of potential root causes of problems, rather than merely presenting examples of symptoms. The interactive platform includes a method and visualization that is capable of presenting differences in network behavior at various functional layers of the network.

Abstract: An apparatus to cut free flank bones of beheaded, slaughtered fish, which preferably have opened abdominal cavities and are transported tail-first in transport direction T with their backbone resting on transport saddles, includes: an upper bone guide to guide the backbone from the dorsal side; a lower bone guide to guide ventral spokes of the fish, which spokes are formed in the region from the tail to the abdominal cavity; and a separating unit for detaching fillets from the flank bones surrounding the abdominal cavity. The separating unit includes a separating means having a corresponding counter unit and can be brought from a standby into a working position and vice versa. A detaching device is located in the upper bone guide region to loosen the bone connection between the flank bones and backbone of at least some of the flank bones. A corresponding filleting machine and method are provided.

Then, a gas mixture is metered into an empty volume of the housing, and the housing is sealed in a gas-tight manner. The gas mixture includes at least one gas component which is at least partially reacted with at least one of the first active material and the second active material after the housing has been sealed. An electrical energy store is also provided.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for producing a semiconductor assembly, in particular connecting a semiconductor chip to a heat sink. A first metal layer consisting of Pb, Cd, In or Sn is made so thin that it is bonded by means of an opposing second metal layer consisting of another metal, for example gold, in a layer consisting of intermetallic phases. This can prevent migration of the soft metals. The brittle intermetallic layer is prevented from fracturing by a continuous pressing force.

Abstract: A method for the production of a diode laser having a laser bar, wherein a metal layer having raised areas is used which is located between the n-side of the laser bar and the cover. The metal layer can be plastically deformed during installation without volume compression in the solid physical state. As a result the laser module can be reliably installed and a slight deviation (smile value) of the emitters from a centre line is achieved.

Abstract: A holding apparatus is configured and adapted for holding eviscerated poultry bodies or parts thereof during processing in a processing apparatus. The holding apparatus includes a supporting body, a fastening body for holding the supporting body and for fastening the holding apparatus to a revolving transport unit of the processing apparatus, and also a clamping device for fixing the poultry body or parts on the supporting body. The supporting body is detachably connected to the fastening body by a fastening element. The fastening element, in the mounted state of the holding apparatus, is accessible from outside. At least one stationary supporting bolt and at least one movable guide bolt are arranged on the fastening body, and the supporting body has corresponding recesses into which the bolts engage. A transport apparatus, a processing apparatus, and a method for maintenance of a holding apparatus, are also provided.

Abstract: Filleting apparatus for cutting fish fillets from flank bones. The fish fillets been processed by a ventral knife assembly and a dorsal knife assembly. A conveying apparatus, transporting fish tail-first in transport direction, having an endlessly circulating transport conveyor with at least one transport saddle receiving/securing a fish, a flank knife assembly with two flank knife units, opposing each other on both sides of the transport conveyor in the region of a transport saddle guide.
