  • Publication number: 20240135533
    Abstract: A method of operation of a compute system includes: generating a skin segmentation including a non-skin region and a skin prediction based on a patient image; generating a body part segmentation based on the patient image; generating a cropped image based on the skin segmentation and the body part segmentation with the cropped image includes the non-skin region based on the skin prediction; generating a eczema segmentation based on the cropped image and the skin prediction; generating intermediate scores for erythema, papulation, lichenification, and excoriation for the cropped image; and generating a full body EASI score based on the eczema segmentation and the intermediate scores for displaying on a device to assist in diagnosis.

  • Publication number: 20080289807
    Abstract: The invention relates to a metal collecting tank (1) for a heat exchanger, especially for motor vehicles. Said collecting tank is produced by non-cutting shaping from a steel sheet blank, preferably an aluminum sheet, and the collecting tank (1) comprises two approximately parallel sidewalls (1c, 1d) and narrow walls each and an upper side (1b) and at least one connecting piece (3). According to the invention, the at least one connecting piece (3) is configured as one piece with the collecting tank (1) and is shaped from the steel sheet blank.

  • Patent number: 6059324
    Abstract: A coupling element connects a connection piece with an insertable end of a connection tube having a toroidal flange for contacting the connection piece in the tube inserting direction. A plug-in fork can be inserted into the coupling element to releasably secure the inserted tube end area against the tube inserting direction, with the tube torus held in place by the plug-in fork. For this purpose, pairs of plug-through openings are provided on side walls of the connection piece opposite one another, so that one prong of the plug-in fork can be inserted into each opening. Inserting bevels are assigned to at least a portion of the plug-through openings, which inserting bevels are shaped such that they cause a forced movement of the plug in fork in the tube inserting direction during its insertion in the plug-in fork inserting direction.
