Abstract: A method for estimating a probability distribution of the maximum coefficient of friction (?) at a current and/or future waypoint (s, s*) of a vehicle. According to the method, a first probability distribution (WV1) for the maximum coefficient of friction (?) at the waypoint (s) of the vehicle is determined by a Bayesian network from a first data set, which is, or was determined, for one, in particular current, waypoint (s) of the vehicle and which characterizes the maximum coefficient of friction (?) at the waypoint (s) of the vehicle.

Abstract: A method for determining a safe speed (v*) at a future waypoint (s*) of a vehicle moving along a route. In this step, at least one item of route data (in particular the curvature of the curve ?) characterizing the course of the route is determined. In addition, a first probability distribution (Pges) of a coefficient of friction (?) is provided at the current waypoint (s) and/or at the future waypoint (s*) of the vehicle. Subsequently a second probability distribution (Pv) of a vehicle speed (v) at the future waypoint (s*) is determined from the at least one item of route data (?) and from the first probability distribution (Pges). The safe speed (v*) is determined by statistical analysis from the second probability distribution (Pv).

Abstract: Subject of the present invention is a method for detection of an antibiotic resistance in a micro-organism comprising the steps of exposing suspected micro-organism to a labelled (fluorescent) antibiotic and observing the differences between it and a non-resistant micro-organism of the same type.

Abstract: A method for detecting anomalies from multidimensional data comprises: a) receiving multidimensional data; b) estimating background parameters of a normal compositional model from the multidimensional data; c) estimating abundance values of the normal compositional model from the background parameters and the multidimensional data; d) determining an anomaly detection statistic from the multidimensional data, the background parameters, and abundance values; and e) classifying an observation from the multidimensional data as either a background reference or an anomaly from the anomaly detection statistic.

Abstract: A mechanism for closing a mold in plastic injection-molding machinery that accommodates a large and heavy molding tool (5). One stationary chuck (2) rests machinery's base (1), while another chuck (3) travels on a longitudinally movable carriage (4). Each chuck (2,3) accommodates one half of the mold (5) and is aligned by poles (6) which can extend through the chucks. The carriage has a number of bearing sites (4.4) mounted on its bottom surface proximate to its corners. Suspension crossarms (10.2, 14.2) are rotatably mounted to the bearing sites (4.4). The rear suspension crossarms (10.2, 14.2) are mounted using a shaft (11) which has two eccentric portions (11.1) with opposite eccentricities. The non-eccentric portions (11.2) of the shaft are connected to one another by a torsion rod (12) and are rotatably mounted in the bearing sites (4.4). The rear suspension crossarms (10.2, 14.2) are rotatably mounted on the eccentric portions (11.1) of the shaft (11). Rocking shoes (10.1, 14.

Abstract: A machine frame with a displaceable scaffold for a tool space of an injection molding machine with stationary and movable tool clamping plates connected by columns that are adjusted to a tool height with a tool height adjusting device, the machine frame being formed with a stepped profile for lowering of the center of gravity of the movable tool clamping plate, the slide carriage of the movable tool clamping plate being displaceable on lower straps formed as guideways, and the displaceable scaffold being displaceable on the inner straps of the machine frame and the slide carriage, and being connected with the tool height adjusting device by connecting rods, the displaceable scaffold being shifted under the stationary tool clamping plate when the forming tool is closed.

Abstract: A mold clamp for an injection molding machine with a stationary mold clamping plate and a movable mold clamping plate displaceable on a sliding carriage, which mold clamping plates are arranged on a machine frame and support mold-halves of a mold for processing plastic material, on the sliding carriage side guide rollers are provided which are adjustable with eccentric bolts and are supported on the machine frame, an air clearance is provided between the movable mold clamping plate and the sliding carriage, which are connected with each other for relative movement therebetween by connecting elements and a vertical trunnion transversely displaceable to the machine longitudinal axis, and are secured together with fastening screws.

Abstract: The stock stream of a pre-cleaned paper stock suspension is sub-divided into extremely small partial jets in a chamber of a compartment. Each such partial jet or stream has a throughflow volume of approximately 50 liters/min. to 80 liters/min. and is directed with great turbulence against an impact wall within the closed chamber of the compartment at jet velocities in the order of about 10 m/sec. to 12 m/sec. and at an absolute pressure of about 0.5 to 0.8 bar absolute, the partial jets then being completely sprayed at such impact wall. The paper stock suspension which is to be deaerated has as large as possible surface area, so that the air is efficiently released at a negative pressure or vacuum of approximately 0.05 bar prevailing in the chamber and then can be suctionally removed. The division of the stream of the paper stock suspension into partial jets is accomplished by a distributor through which extends a predetermined number of throughflow openings defined by bores.

Abstract: An article for cleansing including a cake of soap defined in part by a top surface and opposite end surfaces with a recess opening upwardly through the top surface and endwise through the end surfaces with the opening being defined by a bottom surface and opposing spaced inner peripheral surfaces, a plate in the recess completely covering the bottom surface and having means for preventing water from erroding the peripheral surfaces thereby precluding disintegration of the cake of soap, the errosion preventing means being defined by an upper surface of the plate opening concavely outwardly in a direction toward the top surface and/or by a pair of flanges carried by the plate directed from the plate upper surface toward the top surface with each flange being contiguous an associated one of the cake soap peripheral surfaces.
