Abstract: A method, computer system, and a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium for performing primitive batch binning are disclosed. The method, computer system, and non-transitory computer-readable storage medium include techniques for generating a primitive batch from a plurality of primitives, computing respective bin intercepts for each of the plurality of primitives in the primitive batch, and shading the primitive batch by iteratively processing each of the respective bin intercepts computed until all of the respective bin intercepts are processed.

Abstract: An integrated system and method for preparing sperm cells to improve their survivability during cryopreservation are described herein. The system features a vessel, a controlled dispenser, and a dispense tube. The dispense tube has a first end fluidly connected to the dispenser and a second end disposed inside the vessel. The second end can be submerged in the sperm cell fluid. The controlled dispenser may be a syringe pump that includes a syringe for containing a cryoprotectant and a pushing mechanism for displacing the syringe. The syringe pump is configured to discharge the cryoprotectant through the dispense tube and into the vessel, thereby dispensing the cryoprotectant into the sperm cell fluid. Mixing of the fluids is achieved using a shaker table agitation.

Abstract: An overhead luggage compartment for a vehicle cabin is provided. In the compartment, a ledge provided with an electrical component is pivotably held in a housing half-shell about a pivot axis. The pivot axis extends through two axles connecting the ledge to the housing half-shell. For connecting the electrical component to a cable, one of the axles has a through-hole extending in the axial direction, through which the cable is guided for connecting the component.

Abstract: The invention relates to an overhead luggage compartment, in particular, for a vehicle cabin, in which a ledge (3) provided with an electrical component is pivotably held in a housing half-shell (1) about a pivot axis, the pivot axis extending through two axles connecting the ledge (3) to the housing half-shell (1). For connecting the electrical component to a cable (9), it is proposed that one of the axles has a through-hole extending in the axial direction, through which the cable (9) is guided for connecting to the component.
