Abstract: The invention provides a system for generating a digital output document, comprising a database unit comprising digital documents with digital references to each other; a document selection unit, for selecting an input document; and a document enhancement unit; wherein the document enhancement unit is configured to generate a first list of items identifying digital documents to which the input document comprises at least one reference; generate a second list of items identifying digital documents which documents comprise at least one reference to the input document; combine the first and the second list of items identifying digital documents to form a combined list of items identifying digital documents; and generate a digital output document comprising an extract or the full contents of the input document and digital references to each digital document identified by an item on the combined list.

Abstract: A method for assessing measurement quality in acquisition of an image of the interior of a medium (1) is provided. The method comprises the steps: subsequently irradiating the medium (1) with light from a plurality of different source positions (s) and, for each source position, detecting light emanating from the medium in a plurality of different detection positions (d) for acquisition of an image of the interior of the medium (1). The method further comprises the step: providing information about whether the measurement quality is deteriorated by exploiting signal symmetry under reversal of the light path.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for image enhancement. Overshoots of image boosting in areas with edges can be prevented by splitting an image into at least three sub-images, wherein each of the sub-images represents a corresponding spatial frequency range of the image, calculating a pixel detail signal for at least one of the sub-images, depending on at least a pixel detail signal of another frequency range, calculating a pixel change value for pixels within the sub-images depending on the corresponding pixel detail signal, calculating changed sub-images by changing pixel values within the sub-images depending on the corresponding pixel change value, and combining the changed sub-images into an output image.

Abstract: This invention relates to a container consisting of a thermoplastic material, with side walls, flat top and bottom panels of which the top panel is provided with at least one fill/drain opening, and with a continuous circumferential carrying and transport rim. For better utilization of pallet space, the container body has an approximately square cross-section with slightly convex lateral surfaces and slightly radiused corners. In order to counteract the inherent tendency of the flat container walls to bulge and buckle, the container body is provided with vertical and/or horizontal reinforcement elements.

Abstract: A barrel body with a cross-section surface that approaches the shape of a square with slightly embossed side surfaces and rounded corner areas. The barrel body can be equipped with stiffening elements that run vertically and/or horizontally.

Abstract: The invention relates to a fish ladder (1) to by-pass a vertical descent (SH) in a flowing watercourse (31F) or a dam (31T), with an upstream water inlet (2) and a downstream water outlet (3) and with basins (4) arranged between them substantially in the downstream direction, each of which has an inflow slot (5Z) and an outflow slot (5A) as vertical through-flow slots (5) and deviating apparatus (6, 13) to form a meandering passage. The basins (4) have a partially cylindrical inner wall (40). Successive basins (4a, 4b, 4c, 4d) are arranged against one another and mutually laterally offset in such a way that the through-flow slots (5) run transversely to the direction of slope (G). The through-flow slots (5) are bounded on both sides by a first vertical partially cylindrical pipe (60) over the entire height (H) of the basin as a first diversion (6) with a substantially smaller radius in relation to that of the inner wall (40) of the basin.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an instrument for determining the light scattered by a sample comprising a platform rotatable about an axis of rotation; a sample holder disposed along the axis of rotation; a light source for producing a beam of coherent light that can be focused on a sample in the sample holder; and a plurality of detectors disposed and rotatable about the axis of rotation and adapted so that each detector can be adjusted to focus on a common point along the axis of rotation by reference to the beam.

Abstract: An automatic vehicle lubrication system in which a counter counts whenever the ignition of the vehicle is switched on and the hand-brake is released. When the counter indicates a predetermined period of time has elapsed compressed air is allowed to actuate a pressure amplifying pump to pump lubricant to lubrication points. The counter is then reset.
