Patent number: 11275989Abstract: The present disclosure involves systems, software, and computer implemented methods for predicting wildfires on the basis of biophysical indicators and spatiotemporal properties. A method includes receiving a request for a wildfire prediction for at least one geographical area. At least one biophysical indicator is identified. Each biophysical indicator provides biophysical data for the at least one geographical area. The at least one biophysical indicator is provided to a long short term memory (LSTM) network. The LSTM network includes a convolutional neural network (CNN) for each of multiple LSTM units. Each LSTM unit and each CNN are associated with a historical time period in a time series.

Publication number: 20190067969Abstract: The invention relates to an efficient way to charge DC link capacitor in a charging circuit for an electric energy store. To this end, the DC link capacitor of the charging circuit is initially charged, by means of the charging circuit, to a voltage in the range of a voltage across the terminals of the electric energy store to be charged. The DC link capacitor is electrically connected to the electric energy store to be charged only once the DC link capacitor has been charged to the predefined voltage.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 9, 2017Publication date: February 28, 2019Inventors: Oliver Blum, Philipp Schumann

Publication number: 20190016110Abstract: On-press developable, negative-working lithographic printing plate precursors are used to provide lithographic printing plates. Such precursors are prepared with a substrate and one or more negative-working, infrared radiation-sensitive imagable layers. The substrate is prepared by two separate anodizing processes to provide an inner aluminum oxide layer having an average dry thickness (Ti) of 650-3,000 nm and inner micropores having an average inner micropore diameter (Di) of <15 nm. A formed outer aluminum oxide layer comprises outer micropores having an average outer micropore diameter (Do) of 15-30 nm; an average dry thickness (To) of 130-650 nm; and a micropore density (Co) of 500-3,000 micropores/?m2. The ratio of Do to Di is greater than 1.1:1, and Do in nanometers and the outer aluminum oxide layer micropore density (Co) in micropores/?m2, are further defined by the outer aluminum oxide layer porosity (Po) as: 0.3?Po?0.8 wherein Po is 3.14(Co)(Do2)/4,000,000.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 5, 2018Publication date: January 17, 2019Inventors: Oliver Merka, Jan-Phillip Kemmling, Oliver Blum, Benedikt Uhl, Philipp Viehmann
