Abstract: A method for parameterizing a scene having a surface, on which at least two objects are disposed, using a camera disposed at a distance from the objects. The method includes: a) using the camera, producing an image of the scene, the image containing image data regarding the objects; b) recognizing at least two objects in the image by evaluation of the image data and assigning each recognized object to a specific object class; c) estimating an object size of each of the at least two recognized objects in accordance with at least one surface parameter characterizing the surface; d) for each of the at least two objects: calculating an individual probability that the object has the object size estimated in measure c); e) calculating a scene probability from the at least two calculated individual probabilities.

Abstract: A method of implementing administrative services for a compensation platform is disclosed. One or more interactive compensation representation views are generated based on an evaluation of mapping rules against a flexible ontology and current data state, the flexible ontology comprising customizable compensation components, relationships, and properties. One or more compensation representation views are dynamically updated in real-time in response to changes in compensation data, user context, or access permissions without requiring manual regeneration of the one or more compensation representations. The one or more interactive compensation representation views include a user interface element displayed in response to a user selection of compensation data, wherein the user interface element provides direct access to compensation information relevant to the selected compensation data without requiring a change to another screen or another user context.

Abstract: A nonwoven web is made by first depositing fibers as a nonwoven web in a deposition area, then conveying the web away from the deposition area in a web-travel direction, preconsolidating the web in the path, and passing the preconsolidated web between a pair of rollers that compress and final consolidate the preconsolidated web, One of the rollers is separated from the web such that final consolidation of the web at a starting level is stopped and at the same time or immediately beforehand upstream preconsolidation of the web increased. After separating the one roller from the web, another roller is engaged with the web at the consolidation station and then final consolidation is recommenced, whereupon upstream preconsolidation of the web is reduced back to the starting level.

Abstract: A laminate is made by first making by melt-blowing or spunbonding of multicomponent, thermoplastic, and endless filaments a first nonwoven layer lying generally in a plane and having a predetermined shrinkage capacity or potential parallel to the plane and making of thermoplastic and endless filaments a second nonwoven layer also lying generally in a respective plane and having a shrinkage capacity or potential that is smaller than that of the first nonwoven layer. The two layers are directly juxtaposed flatly on each other, and the directly juxtaposed first and second layer are bonded together only at bonded regions while leaving an array of unbonded regions distributed over a surface of the two bonded-together nonwoven layers. Then only the first nonwoven layer is shrunk so that the second layer bunches in the unbonded regions and is there raised transverse to a plane of the bonded-together layers.

Abstract: A vehicle radar system (2) that is arranged to detect a plurality of objects outside a vehicle (1) and that includes a radar detector (3) and a processing unit arrangement (4). The processing unit arrangement (4) is arranged to obtain at least one total detection angle (?dT, ?dT?) relative an x-axis (7) and at least one corresponding detected target Doppler velocity (vDoppler) relative the radar detector (3) for each detected object (5, 6; 10, 11). Each detected object is classified as moving or stationary, and a relation is determined between the stationary detections and the total number of detections. The processing unit arrangement (4) further is adapted to determine whether the radar detector (3) is misaligned based on the relation, where the total detection angle (?dT, ?dT?) equals the sum of a known mounting angle (?m) between the x-axis (7) and the radar detector's mounting direction (8), and a detection angle (?d, ?d?). The present disclosure also relates to a corresponding method.

Abstract: With a lock for a front hood of a motor vehicle, a locking pawl engages about a rotary latch. This engagement creates a positive connection of the locking pawl to the rotary latch perpendicularly to their intended movement directions. This prevents that during a crash of the motor vehicle the locking pawl is separated from the rotary latch and the lock therefore unlocked.

Abstract: A circuit for detecting and indicating an interruption in the electrical connection between a signal device and a signal processing device, which has been provided with an amplifier at its input. The signal device has a relatively low impedance and the signal processing device has a relatively high impedance. The circuit includes an alarm device which generates an alarm when the predetermined upper limit of the amplifier input voltage has been exceeded. Also included are a supply circuit to feed an auxiliary dc current into the connection between the signal device and the signal processing device. The supplied auxiliary current is controlled by the amplifier input voltage to rise during an increased amplifier input voltage. As a result, a lower current supply can be provided under normal circumstances, which reduces misinterpretations. Preferably, the circuit is used in connection with ECG measuring devices.
