Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer program products, for constructing text classifiers. The method includes receiving a collection of candidate phrases for a given topic; filtering the received candidate phrases to remove erroneously included candidate phrases; assigning weights to the candidate phrases including scoring each candidate phrase using an initial classifier and assigning weights to the candidate phrases based on the scores; and generating a linear classifier using the filtered and weighted candidate phrases, where the linear classifier varies the weights for each phrase candidate depending on the length of the document being classified.

Abstract: A fuel injection valve for an internal combustion engine may include an injector body having a receiving hole for an injector needle. The receiving hole may be implemented as a blind hole and may form an injector ring chamber in the injector shaft and a cone-shaped valve seat at the base thereof, and a blind injector hole at the tip of the valve seat cone, from which at least one injector hole extends. The injector needle may include an at least partially cone-shaped needle tip and may seal off the blind injector hole, and thus the at least one injector hole, from the injector ring chamber. The needle tip may include a needle pilot adapted in contour and extent to the blind injector hole in the valve seat, the pilot protruding into the blind injector hole and thus reducing a compression volume formed between the valve seat and injector hole.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a process of making a foaming aid comprising the steps of: (i) providing a composition comprising at least two 4-vinylcatechol monomers, (ii) inducing polymerization of the 4-vinylcatechol monomers of step (i) to obtain a composition comprising polyfunctional phenols.

Abstract: A nozzle assembly for a fluid injector includes a nozzle body with a central axis, the nozzle body having a nozzle body recess, at least one injection opening and an outer wall facing away from the nozzle body recess. The nozzle assembly further includes a nozzle tension nut for coupling the nozzle body to an injector body, the nozzle tension nut having an inner wall facing the outer wall of the nozzle body. The nozzle body and the nozzle tension nut are formed such that, under the effect of an operational pressure exerted in ordinary operation by a metered fluid onto the nozzle body recess, the outer wall of the nozzle body rests, at least in part, against the inner wall of the nozzle tension nut in the radial direction.

Abstract: A device for removing tested semiconductor components from a clamping carrier having fixed stop elements and movable clamping elements, pre-tensioned by spring elements includes an actuation device arranged above the clamping carrier, which moves the clamping elements into an opening position enabling the clamping carrier to be discharged, and then moves the clamping elements into a rest position after discharge, an intermediate carrier, positioned under the clamping carrier during discharge, onto which the clamping carrier is emptied, a data memory in which data about each semiconductor component are stored, and a removal device, which removes the semiconductor components from the intermediate carrier and sorts them into at least two different categories in accordance with the data stored in the data memory.

Abstract: The invention concerns a flavor active composition obtainable by a multi-step reaction comprising a first reaction between an amino compound and a carbonyl compound to obtain a first intermediate reaction mixture, a second reaction with a second amino compound alone or in combination with a carbonyl compound to obtain a second intermediate reaction mixture, further separate reactions with another amino compound alone or in combination with a carbonyl compound to obtain further intermediate reaction mixture, further separate reactions with compounds from other chemical classes such as alcohols, phenolic compounds, epoxydes or organic acids and combinations thereof leading to suitable intermediates, a last reaction comprising a mixture of all the preceding intermediate mixtures alone or in combination with amino and/or carbonyl compounds to obtain the final flavor composition.

Abstract: An X-ray detector has a first detector module, a second detector module and manipulation means. The first detector module includes a first detection region arranged in a first detection plane, the second detector module includes a second detection region arranged in a second detection plane, which is adjacent to the first detection region. The manipulation means is configured to orient the first detection plane of the first detector module and the second detection plane of the second detector module to each other such that a first normal to surface of the first detection plane and a second normal to surface of the second detection plane intersect within a reference region.

Abstract: Control of flavor characteristics of and fresh taste in fruit juice, particularly citrus fruit juice, and especially orange juice.

Abstract: A system and method for information navigation and filtration is provided. One or more query terms are received from a user. A preliminary relevance of one or more objects associated with an enterprise system is determined based on the query terms. The preliminary relevance may be propagated between objects. At least one rating is assigned to the one or more objects based on the preliminary relevance. An overall relevance of the one or more objects is established based on the at least one rating. The one or more objects are ranked according to the overall relevance. Data is provided as search results comprised of the one or more objects according to the ranking to the user. The search results may then be filtered based on at least one selected, dynamically generated filter. The filtered search results may be dynamically generated and provided to the user.
