The method includes training, for each of a plurality of object classes, a respective machine learning model to map images of objects of the object class to descriptor images and storing reference descriptors output by the machine learning model for one or more objects of the object class; receiving an image of an object; generating, for each object class, a respective descriptor image for the object by mapping the received image to a descriptor image using the machine learning model trained for the object class; evaluating, for each object class, the distance between the reference descriptors stored for the object class and the descriptors of the descriptor image generated for the object class; and assigning the descriptor image to the object as the descriptor image of the object generated for an object class based on the distance.

Abstract

The invention relates to a microfluidic method for generating hydrogel microparticles (3a, 3b) for cultivating cells (9). A dispersion medium (44) flows through a second channel (24), and a medium (33) to be dispersed which comprises a hydrogel flows through a first channel (23). The dispersion medium (44) and the medium (33) to be dispersed meet at a connection point (25) of the first (23) and the second channel (24), leading to a pinch-off of spherical hydrogel microparticles (3a, 3b) of the phase (33) to be dispersed, said microparticles being further guided via a third channel (1). A hydrophilic culture medium (34) is used as the dispersion medium, and a hydrophilic hydrogel-cell suspension (33) is used as the medium to be dispersed. A polymerization process of the hydrophilic hydrogel-cell suspension (33) is carried out before the hydrophilic hydrogel-cell suspension meets the hydrophilic culture medium (44).

Abstract

The present invention relates to a method for controlling a gas injector which injects a gaseous medium, in particular a gaseous fuel, into a combustion chamber of an internal combustion engine. The gas injector comprises a closing element for opening and closing at least one passage opening at a sealing seat, and an actuator for actuating the closing element on the basis of a control characteristic curve, the actuator being designed to open the closing element at the beginning of actuation and to close it at the end of actuation. The gas injector also comprises a stroke stop which limits the maximum stroke of the closing element. The method comprises the steps of: determining the control characteristic curve; determining a critical operating range, the critical operating range being present if the position of the closing element is undefined after reaching the stroke stop due to an opening bounce; determining whether the end of actuation is within the critical operating range; and adapting the control characteristic of the actuator so that the end of actuation is outside the critical operating range.

Abstract

A fuse device for at least one battery cell includes (i) a fuse element for interrupting a current flow from the battery cell in a critical state of the battery cell, (ii) a heating unit, which is connected, in particular electrically and/or thermally and/or mechanically, to the fuse element, and is provided to assist a triggering of the fuse element, (iii) a control unit for activating the heating unit in the critical state, and (iv) at least one carrier element for receiving the fuse element and at least one heating element of the heating unit.
