Abstract: Human relaxin-2 as active ingredient in a pharmaceutical composition for treating a subject exhibiting cachexia syndrome or cardiac wasting or cardiac decompensation. The application also describes methods of treating cachexia, cardiac wasting and patients exhibiting clinical signs of suffering from cardiac decompensation. Further described is a method of using a patch pump for subcutaneous or intravenous infusion of relaxin or human relaxin-2.

Abstract: Embodiments herein describe pruning of technology-mapped machine learning-related circuits at bit-level granularity, including techniques to efficiently remove look-up tables (LUTs) of a technology-mapped netlist while maintaining a baseline accuracy of an underlying machine learning model. In an embodiment, a LUT output of a current circuit design is replaced with a constant value, and at least the LUT and LUTs within a maximum fanout-free cone (MFFC) are removed, to provide an optimized circuit design. The current circuit design or the optimized circuit design is selected as a solution based on corresponding training data-based accuracies and metrics (e.g., LUT utilization), and optimization criteria. If the optimized circuit design is rejected, inputs to the LUT may be evaluated for pruning. A set of solutions may be evaluated based on validation data-based accuracies and metrics of the corresponding circuit design. Solutions that do not meet a baseline accuracy may be discarded.

Abstract: Human relaxin-2 as active ingredient in a pharmaceutical composition for treating a subject suffering from cachexia syndrome or cardiac wasting or suspected of being at risk of suffering from cardiac wasting or cardiac decompensation is described. Also described are methods of diagnosis of cachexia and cardiac wasting and patients suspected of being at risk of suffering from cardiac decompensation. Further described is a patch pump for sc. or iv infusion of relaxin or human relaxin-2.

Abstract: Embodiments herein describe techniques for one-dimensional convolution by binary segmentation on DSP slices. In an embodiment, pre-processing circuitry concatenates first and second sets of binary integers as respective first and second vectors/polynomials, which are provided to a wide-input integer multiplier circuit. In an embodiment, a plurality of multiplier circuits are configured to compute a linear convolution of a kernel and a data stream over multiple cycles. Pre-processing circuitry encodes elements of a kernel as kernel polynomials, and encodes segments of a data stream as data polynomials. The multiplier circuits multiply respective pairs of the kernel polynomials and data polynomials to provide respective polynomial products.

Abstract: The invention relates to a thermographic system comprising infrared imaging means, a radiation source and a duct (18) for guiding the radiation in a longitudinal direction (L) to an outlet of the duct (18) located at a free edge (28) thereof, characterized in that the free edge (28) of the duct (18) is deformable along the longitudinal axis (L) in a first direction (L1) oriented from the outlet of the duct (18) towards the imaging means (12) and in that it comprises means for returning the free edge to its initial shape and means for holding said free edge of the duct (18) in a deformed state.

Abstract: This invention relates to a method of encrypting data packets of a data stream and decrypting plurally encrypted data of a data stream that provides an increased level of data security and can be automated using a signal sequence (a computer program product) or a data processing device. A data packet to be encrypted or a data packet to be decrypted is automatically encrypted or decrypted sequentially in at least two subsequent processing steps using different coding algorithms and different assigned coding keys. For encryption, a number, type, and sequence of different coding algorithms is first determined (S10) that is to be used in the subsequent encryption operations and respective different coding keys are assigned to the coding algorithms (S12, S13). Then the data packet to be encrypted is encrypted sequentially in at least two subsequent encryption operations (S16, S17) to obtain a plurally encrypted data packet.

Abstract: This invention relates to a network component (11-16) for a communication network (1) in which multiple communication interfaces (31-37) are connected for mutual data exchange via a transmission network (20) and in which said network component (11-16) can be placed between at least one assigned communication interface (31-37) and the transmission network (20). The network component (11-16) according to the invention comprises a first memory facility (41) for storing at least one preset coding key (K1, K2, K3), a decrypter (51) for decrypting the encrypted data received via the transmission network (20) using the stored at least one coding key (K1, K2, K3) as well as a data selector (52) for the selective transfer of data between the transmission network (20) and the at least one assigned communication interface (31-37).
