Abstract: A vehicle seat bracket, with at least one lower rail which is fixed to the vehicle, and with at least one upper rail arrangement which is coupled to a vehicle seat and interacts with the at least one lower rail for the relative longitudinal displaceability in the longitudinal direction of the lower rail, is characterized in that the at least one upper rail arrangement has a first upper rail module, which is coupled to the vehicle seat, and a second upper rail module, which is connected by a connecting element to the first upper rail module. The two upper rail modules are movable along the lower rail. The first upper rail module is provided with an electromechanical drive arrangement for the longitudinal displaceability relative to the lower rail. The second upper rail module has a releasable mechanical locking device which is designed to couple the upper rail arrangement and the lower rail to one another in a locked state and to decouple them from one another in a decoupled state.

Abstract: Embodiments described herein are directed to an adaptive AI model for 3D object detection using synthetic training data. For example, an ML model is trained to detect certain items of interest based on a training set that is synthetically generated in real time during the training process. The training set comprises a plurality of images depicting containers that are virtually packed with items of interest. Each image of the training set is a composite of an image comprising a container that is packed with items of non-interest and an image comprising an item of interest scanned in isolation. A plurality of such images is generated during any given training iteration of the ML model. Once trained, the ML model is configured to detect items of interest in actual containers and output a classification indicative of a likelihood that a container comprises an item of interest.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for preparing or effecting access, in data transmission, from a first application which is run on a client data processing device to a transmission medium which is coupled to the client data processing device. The steps performed are: providing a second application which includes at least one interface for converting the format of information, transmitted by the first application, to a standard format which is predetermined by the second application; and registering the second application with the client data processing device or installing the second application on the client data processing device in order to transmit the information of the first application in the standard format between the second application and the transmission medium or to enable the information of the first application to be transmitted in the standard format between the second application and the transmission medium.

Abstract: A system and method that facilitates and effectuates estimating the result of performing a data analysis operation on a set of data. Employing an approximation of the data analysis operation on a statistically valid random sample view of the data allows for a statistically accurate estimate of the result to be obtained. Sequential sampling in the view enables the approximated operation to evaluate accuracy conditions at intervals during the scan of the sample view and obtain the estimated result without having to scan the entire sample view. Feedback regarding the accuracy of the estimated result can be captured when the data analysis operation is performed against the set of data. Process control techniques can be employed with the feedback to maintain the statistical validity of the sample view.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for the preparation of 7-amino-3-methoxymethylceph-3-em-4-carboxylic acid (I) from 7-amino-3-methoxymethylceph-3-em-4-carboxylic acid esters (II) or their salts by ester cleavage.The process comprises treating the compound II with formic acid, trifluoroacetic acid, methanesulfonic acid or trifluoromethanesulfonic acid or a mixture of two of these acids in each case.

Abstract: A process for the preparation of cefodizime sodium, which comprises bringing cefodizime into solution in ethanol having a water content of 4-15% by means of 1.5-2.5 moles of an organic amine base and allowing the disodium salt of the cefodizime to crystallize by adding a sodium donor.

Abstract: A process for introducing one or more threads into a texturizing nozzle, in which the texturizing nozzle, together with the inlet member, is first brought into a position in which the thread is led transversely past and in the immediate vicinity of the texturizing nozzle, the thread is sucked against the nozzle with the orifice of the inlet member enlarged, immediately after being sucked against the texturizing nozzle the thread is cut beyond the nozzle so that the cut end is sucked back into the nozzle, the suction supply required for the sucking-in is replaced by pressurized fluid texturizing medium, and the cross-section of the inlet orifice of the texturizing device is reduced to a value advantageous for steady state operation.

Abstract: A process for the simultaneous texturizing and entangling of filament bundles by treating filament bundles of synthetic, high-molecular weight materials with a heated fluid in two tubular treatment chambers, in which process spatial or periodic irregularities are produced, in the treatment zones, in the flow of fluid and/or filament bundles. Preferably, a certain range of values of a volume mass flow factor is adhered to.

Abstract: A process for crimping filaments by treating the filaments which are to be crimped, and are carried by a heated gas, in a first treatment chamber, and intermingling the heated filaments in an extended second treatment chamber, from which the gas carrier medium is drawn off through longitudinal slots radially to the direction of travel, wherein only sufficient gas is allowed to flow axially with the crimped filaments from the second treatment chamber that the travel of the crimped filaments is not impeded, while the bulk of the carrier gases is drawn off radially from the second treatment chamber. It is advantageous to draw off the carrier gas in the upper part, which comprises from about 25 to 75%, preferably from 40 to 60%, of the total length of the longitudinal slots of the second treatment chamber.

Abstract: Filaments or filament bundles, which are conveyed by a heated gas, are crimped by treating them in a preheat chamber and crimping them in an elongate chamber from which the heated gas medium issues through longitudinal slits. A stream of cold gas is made to impinge on the outside of the lower one-third of the elongate chamber without allowing significant amounts of this cold gas to enter the said chamber. The resulting filaments or filament bundles have very good dyeing characteristics.

Abstract: Apparatus for crimping filaments using turbulent heated fluids to which the filaments are exposed in two treatment chambers connected to one another. The first treatment chamber is constructed in two parts, the parting plane between the two parts is stepped and the filament guide means are intersected by the parting plane. The filaments are easy to introduce and the operating temperature need not be reduced in the event of any filament breaking.
