Abstract: A neural network includes inputs for receiving input signals, synapses connected to the inputs and having corrective weights, and neurons having outputs connected with the inputs via the synapses. Each neuron generates a neuron sum by summing corrective weights selected from the respective synapse. A controller receives a desired output signal, determines a deviation of the neuron sum from the desired output signal value, and modifies respective corrective weights using the determined deviation. Adding up the modified corrective weights to determine the neuron sum minimizes the deviation and trains the network. A structure-forming module rearranges connections between network elements during the training and a signal allocation module distributes the input signals among the network elements during the training.

Abstract: A stack of interfolded absorbent sheet products comprising a plurality of absorbent sheets and a method of folding and stacking the same. Each one of the absorbent sheets is folded twice about a first axis to define two inwardly folded inner panels and at least once about a second axis to define at least two outer panels sandwiching the inner panels therebetween. The second axis is substantially perpendicular to the first axis, Each of the absorbent sheet products comprises at least one outer panel at least partially sandwiched between a pair of outer panels of an adjacent one of the absorbent sheet products of the stack. Each one of the absorbent sheet products is entirely detached from all other absorbent sheet products of the stack.

Abstract: A water-conducting household appliance includes movable component which is moveably mounted on a stationary component of the household appliance by way of a metallic bearing. A sacrificial material with a lower electrochemical potential compared with the metallic material of the bearing in a bearing chamber, in which the bearing is arranged, prevents corrosion of the bearing. The sacrificial material rusts instead of the bearing.
