  • Publication number: 20240127432
    Abstract: A system and method for achieving more accurate results when applying an image processing task to a series of medical images of a patient, without significantly increasing processing resource. The proposed system and method is based on receiving a plurality of image sequences of a particular anatomical region, each capturing cyclical movement of an anatomical object. Each image sequence is supplied to a classifier module which employs use of one or more machine learning algorithms to derive at least one score for each image sequence indicative of predicted success or quality of a result of the image processing task if applied to the given image series. This permits an assessment to be made in advance of which of the plurality of image series is most likely to result in the best (e.g. highest quality, or greatest amount of information) results from the image processing task.

  • Patent number: 11676787
    Abstract: The application relates to a power switch for breaking an electrical circuit when current and/or current time span threshold values are exceeded, including an energy converter, which on the primary side is connected to the electrical circuit, and on the secondary side provides an energy supply for at least one control unit of the power switch. A choke is connected between the secondary-side output of the energy converter and the control unit of the power switch.

  • Publication number: 20220224110
    Abstract: An asymmetric surge protection device for a DC circuit (16) has a negative side (32) which can be connected to a current output (28) of the DC circuit (16), a positive side (30) which can be connected to a current input (26) of the DC circuit (16), and an asymmetric neutral section (34). The asymmetric neutral section (34) has a positive protection level (Vp) for a positive voltage (V) between the positive side (30) and the negative side (32), and a negative protection level (Vn) for a negative voltage (V) between the positive side (30) and the negative side (32), the positive protection level (Vp) being different from the negative protection level (Vn). Furthermore, a DC circuit arrangement (14) and a DC network (10) are shown.

  • Patent number: 11133142
    Abstract: A circuit breaker is for interrupting an electric current circuit when current and/or current time period thresholds are exceeded. The circuit breaker includes at least one control unit, to which energy is supplied by an energy converter. A primary winding of the energy converter is formed by a conductor of the electric current circuit. The core of the energy conductor surrounding the electric current circuit conductor is used as the primary winding. A secondary winding surrounds a section of the core. The secondary winding additionally surrounds an inductor core, arranged relative to the core using an insulating spacer element. The secondary winding and the inductor core are at least party magnetically shielded from the primary winding by a shielding plate guided through the core.
