Abstract: A game that includes a game hub having a draw tray and a discard tray for point cards; four game boards, four sets of score markers; sixteen indicator cards; and fifty-one point cards divided into eight classification sets and a wild card set. Each set of the eight classification sets of point cards includes six point cards, where each of the point cards has a combination of: a classification set name; a point value indicator; a symbol associated with the classification set; an image associated with the classification set name; and a common name for the image; where the combination is different for each of the point cards in the eight classification sets. The wild card set includes three point cards each having a number zero on the first major surface.

Abstract: A method of controlling a PACS image viewer using a system comprising one or more infrared cameras and a processor is described. The method comprises accepting user input from the one or more infrared cameras comprising hand motion, vector, and gesture information, sending the hand motion, vector, and gesture information to the processor according to a frame rate, and translating the hand motion, vector, and gesture information into a virtual input by the processor according to a set of computer-executable instructions, wherein the virtual input is configured to control a PACS image viewer. The virtual input simulates one or more key strokes, mouse clicks, or cursor movements and allows a physician to use a PACS image viewer without using any hand-operated equipment such as a mouse, trackpad, or keyboard. In this way, the physician may scroll through images using the PACS image viewer while maintaining a sterile environment.

Abstract: A method of controlling a PACS image viewer using a system comprising one or more sensors configured to interpret muscle electrical activity as hand gestures is described. The method comprises accepting user input from the one or more sensors comprising hand motion, vector, and gesture information, sending such information to the processor according to a frame rate, and translating such information into a virtual input by the processor according to a set of computer-executable instructions, wherein the virtual input is configured to control a PACS image viewer. The virtual input simulates one or more key strokes, mouse clicks, or cursor movements and allows a physician to use a PACS image viewer without using any hand-operated equipment such as a mouse, trackpad, or keyboard.

Abstract: Arranged upstream of each swirl-stabilized premix burner (1) of a burner system there is respectively an adjustable distributing device (5) with control valves (V1, . . . , V8) and/or on/off valves (V?1, . . . , V?16), by means of which various axial mass flow distributions of the fuel introduced can be set. Preferably, those which have particularly favorable values with respect to characteristics such as NOx emission and maximum amplitudes of pulsations occurring are chosen. For this purpose, Pareto solutions are determined with respect to the said characteristics, in that a distributing device (5) is represented by a tree structure with distributing parameters, and values for the distributing parameters on the basis of which the distributing device (5) is set by means of a control unit are iteratively generated in a data-processing system by an evolutionary algorithm.

Abstract: In the case of swirl-stabilized premix burners (1), an axial mass flow distribution of the fuel introduced which has especially favorable values with respect to characteristics such as NOx emission and maximum amplitudes of pulsations occurring is used. For this purpose, Pareto solutions are determined with respect to the said characteristics, in that a distributing device (5) with control valves is represented by a tree structure with distributing parameters, and values for the distributing parameters on the basis of which the distributing device (5) is set by means of a control unit (10) are iteratively generated in a data-processing system (9) by an evolutionary algorithm. On the basis of the values determined by a measuring unit (11), solutions which are especially favorable with respect to the characteristics mentioned, espectially Pareto-optimal, are selected. The distributing devices or the premix burners of the burner system are then formed in a way corresponding to such a solution.
