Abstract: The invention relates to a damper unit (10) for a chassis (100) of a vehicle with levelling, comprising a hydraulic cylinder (1) having a container tube (2) which is filled with a damper fluid and in which a piston (3) is movably mounted and separates an upper container space (21) from a lower container space (22). The piston (3) comprises a first valve (41) through which the damper fluid flows when the piston (3) moves in a first direction A. The damper unit (10) further comprises an accumulator (5) and a check valve (6), wherein the accumulator (5) is connected to the container tube (2) via the check valve (6) in such a manner that, when the piston (3) moves in at least one direction, damper fluid is pumped through the check valve (6) into the accumulator (5).

Abstract: In some examples, a device comprises a substrate including a notch formed in a surface of the substrate and a semiconductor die positioned in the notch and including an electrochemical sensor on an active surface of the semiconductor die. The device also comprises a chemically inert member abutting the surface of the substrate and including an orifice in vertical alignment with the electrochemical sensor as a result of the semiconductor die being positioned in the notch. The device also comprises a compressed o-ring seal positioned between the chemically inert member and the active surface of the semiconductor die, the compressed o-ring seal circumscribing the electrochemical sensor.

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.

Abstract: A control valve assembly includes a body having a fluid inlet and a fluid outlet. A portion of the body is formed from a first magnetic material. A sleeve is slidingly mounted to the body. At least a portion of the sleeve is formed from a second magnetic material. A magnetic circuit having a gap is defined within the control valve assembly. A solenoid is mounted to the body about at least a portion of the first magnetic material of the body. The solenoid is selectively activated to create a magnetic field across the gap in the magnetic circuit. The magnetic circuit causes the sleeve to slide, narrowing the gap and sliding from the first position to the second position to produce a pressure pulse in the wellbore, wherein the biasing member biases the sleeve back to the first position.
