An imaging locating device includes a first locating apparatus, a position sensor, and an evaluation apparatus. The first locating apparatus is configured to detect locating data in relation to objects to be located. The objects are concealed under an examination surface. The position sensor is configured to detect position data of the locating device in relation to the examination surface. The evaluation apparatus is configured to determine a first at least two-dimensional map information items by assigning the locating data of a first category from the first locating apparatus to the position data. The evaluation data is further configured to determine at least one further at least two-dimensional map information item. The at least one further at least two-dimensional map information item differs from the first at least two-dimensional map information item.

A DC level detection circuit between high speed signal line connecting ports and a system using the same in optical communications is disclosed. Corresponding ports of a high speed signal line each have an additional resistor, where one additional resistor has a resistance significantly greater than that of the other resistor. The smaller resistor is grounded. The larger resistor is connected to a DC voltage source, a low pass filter, and a signal detection port. Thus, when both ports of the high speed signal line are connected, a status of the electrical level detected at the signal detection port changes. The circuit detects the connection state of the high speed signal line without negative effects on signal transmission and is applicable to various circuits, especially plug-in modules and corresponding slots. Thus, the circuit further enables signal port multifunctionality, increases module installation accuracy, and provides higher compatibility for plug-in modules.

An electronic motor vehicle sensor unit includes a housing, a control and evaluation device arranged in the housing, and at least one capacitive sensor electrode with a detection region (X, X). The capacitive sensor electrode is coupled to the control and evaluation device and is arranged in the housing. The sensor unit further includes a lighting device with an illuminant that can emit an optical signal, wherein the lighting device is coupled to the control and evaluation device, and a target region (Y) identifying the detection region (X) can be marked outside the housing with the lighting device. The housing, the control and evaluation device, the at least one capacitive sensor electrode and the lighting device form an integrated assembly.

Systems and methods that allow transfer criteria to be defined based on one or more of several attributes, such as a particular user, site, or device, as well as whether individual images and/or image series are classified as thin slices, and applied to medical images in order to determine which images are downloaded, viewed, stored, and/or any number of other actions that might be performed with respect to particular images.

Methods, computer systems, and computer-readable memory media for determining a warp function. An as-designed watertight spline model of an object is received. A point cloud and the as-designed watertight spline model are used to construct a model of the object. The point cloud is obtained from a physical or virtual (simulated) inspection and/or manufacturing process. A warp function is determined based on a difference between the as-designed watertight spline model and the constructed model. The warp function is a continuous function quantifying differences between the as-designed model and the constructed model. As-preprocessed instructions for a simulation or analysis process of the object are determined based on metadata of the as-designed watertight spline model and the warp function. The simulation or analysis process is performed on the object according to the as-preprocessed instructions to produce as-simulated data, and the as-simulated data is stored in a non-transitory computer-readable memory medium.
