Abstract: A method for creating a second series of individual images with a first series of individual images, the individual images of the first or the second series of individual images having been captured with an objective, includes determining the entrance pupil and the field of vision of the objective for the individual images of the first series and creating or adapting the individual images of the second series in accordance with the entrance pupil and the field of vision of the objective of the individual image in question of the first series.

Abstract: A slide system for optical microscopy using immersion fluid including a cover glass having a first refractive index and a transparent film having a second refractive index. The second refractive index of the transparent film is matched to the first refractive index of the cover glass. The transparent film protects the cover glass from immersion fluid used for optical microscopy and the transparent film is configured such that the immersion fluid used can be removed by lifting off the transparent film.

Abstract: In one example embodiment, a computer-implemented method for determining traffic conditions includes obtaining traffic sample data associated with a first direction of traffic on a first road segment, the traffic sample data including data indicative of a plurality of movement speeds associated with a plurality of objects. The method includes determining a plurality of average traffic speeds for the first direction of traffic on the first road segment based at least in part on the plurality of movement speeds. The method includes associating each of the plurality of average traffic speeds with at least one of a plurality of traffic types. The method includes determining map data based at least in part on the plurality of traffic types and associated average traffic speeds. The method includes transmitting to a client device in response to a request, map data corresponding to at least one of the plurality of traffic types.

Abstract: For the microscopy of an object using a combination of optical microscopy and particle beam microscopy, a microscope slide system comprises an electrically conductive holder, wherein at least one window is configured in the holder, and wherein the holder has the dimensions of a standard glass microscope slide for the optical microscopy; a microscope slide element, which is designed to carry the object for the microscopy and which is designed such that the element can be placed over the window; and a fastening device, which is designed to fix the microscope slide element over the window. By means of said microscope slide system, the object can be analyzed using separate microscopes, without having to relocate the object.

Abstract: A computer implemented method of operating a navigation system to provide geographic location information is provided. The method comprises receiving a query text string representing a query for a geographic location from a user and obtaining data records that represent a plurality of candidate geographic locations. The method computes a text matching score that indicates how much of the query text string matches a record text string of the candidate geographic location and applies a usage pattern weight to the text matching score to obtain an overall score value for the candidate geographic location. The candidate geographic locations are ranked based on the overall score values.

Abstract: A method for the microscopy of samples using optical microscopy and particle beam microscopy provides that the samples are divided into a partial quantity and a residual quantity and the samples of the partial quantity are prepared to contain registration marks. The samples of the partial quantity are imaged using optical microscopy and particle beam microscopy, with the result that a pair of optical microscopy images and particle beam microscopy images is obtained for each sample of the partial quantity. The pairs are position-registered relative to each other using the registration marks. The images of the position-registered pairs are modified by removing the registration marks. A registration algorithm is trained which evaluates the image contents and issues a quality measure for a position registration of each pair. The objects of the residual quantity are imaged. These pairs are position-registered by the trained registration algorithm to maximize the quality measure.
