摘要:
A device for the contactless detection of a potentially existing essentially edge-free irregularity in a convex surface, which has a structuring that is delimited by edges, comprises a unit for creating a three-dimensional representation of the surface, a unit for extracting the convexity from the three-dimensional representation of the surface and for smoothing the edges of the structuring so as to obtain a convex-free representation of the convex surface which exhibits the irregularity and the structuring, whose edges have now been smoothed, a unit for comparing the convex-free representation with a threshold value so as to identify areal regions of the convex-free representation which are determined by a predetermined relationship to the threshold value, and a unit for analyzing the areas of the identified regions, a region being detected as an irregularity if its area exceeds a predetermined area. When this device is used to carry out quality control of tires, bulges or constrictions can therefore be identified with certainty in real-time operation and can be distinguished from an inscription or marking which has been intentionally provided on the tire.

A group including plurality of users is established. A transaction record is maintained for the group that includes a plurality of payment transactions. Each of the plurality of payment transactions involves at least one user of the group. Additionally, a balance is maintained that indicates an amount owed by a first user of the group to a second user of the group based on one or more of the plurality of payment transactions. When a settling event occurs, the balance is settled by initiating a transfer of funds between the first user and the second user.

A method is disclosed for calculating an MR image of a target layer from an examination object, wherein the MR image is calculated using iterative reconstruction. In at least one embodiment, the method includes: acquiring MR data from an initial layer of the examination object, determining information produced by the examination object from the acquired MR data of the initial layer, determining a penalty term from the information produced by the examination object, and performing the iterative reconstruction of the MR image for the target layer taking into account the determined penalty term.

In a method to generate magnetic resonance (MR) images of an examination subject, MR signals are detected simultaneously with multiple coils, each coil having its own coil characteristic. In the detection of the MR signals, raw data space is incompletely filled with MR signals; with raw data space being undersampled in a central raw data region with a coherent acquisition pattern that is composed of a spatially repeating set of raw data points; and raw data space outside of the central raw data region is sampled with an incoherent acquisition pattern. The MR image is reconstructed from the detected MR signals, step-by-step in an iterative reconstruction procedure using a reconstruction matrix A, starting from an initial estimate; wherein the reconstruction matrix has continuing information about the coil characteristics with which the MR signals were detected.

A transfer management system receives a request to transfer an amount of funds from a transferring account maintained by a transferring bank to a receiving account maintained by a receiving bank. The transfer management system determines whether the transferring bank maintains an intermediate transferring account, and whether the receiving bank maintains an intermediate receiving account. If the transferring bank maintains an intermediate transferring account and the receiving maintains an intermediate receiving account, the transfer management system transmits to a transferring bank system of the transferring bank an intra-bank transfer request. The intra-bank transfer request is to transfer the amount of funds from the transferring account to the intermediate transferring account. Additionally, the transfer management system transmits an intra-bank transfer request to a receiving bank system of the receiving bank to transfer the amount of funds from the intermediate receiving account maintained by the receiving bank to the receiving account.

The invention provides a computer-implemented method for using the social networking content of a user to determine authentication levels required for a peer-to-peer transaction. A user inputs transaction counter-party and transaction details into a payment application. The information can be transmitted to a server located in a peer-to-peer payment system. The system may search the social network content of the user to determine the account information of the counter-party and to assess the security risk of the counter-party according to a preconfigured set of factors that define the strength of the connection to the user. These factors may include the counter-party's status in the user's social networks, frequency of contact, prior transactions, or other factors that further establish a relationship. The system may determine the level of transaction authentication required to process the transaction. The user may enter the authentication data to complete the transaction.
摘要:
In a magnetic (MR) method and apparatus to generate an MR angiography image of a vascular structure of an examination region, spins in the examination region are saturated by an RF saturation pulse to cause these spins to produce a lower signal intensity in the angiography image than spins that flow from a major artery via a feed artery into the examination region, which are not saturated by the RF saturation pulse. A saturation volume is established that is saturated by the RF saturation pulse in order to be able to depict substantially all the vascular structure, such that the major artery and the tissue surrounding the major artery are not situated at the level of the branching of the feed artery in the saturation volume. The MR angiography image is generated using the established saturation volume.
摘要:
The material strength of extensive objects can be determined efficiently by using two distance measurers, wherein a first distance measurer determines the distance to a first main surface of the object and a second distance measurer determines the distance to a second main surface object opposing the first main surface. If potential measurement errors due to the extensive geometry are avoided by determining a reference distance between the first distance measurer and the second distance measurer by a reference unit via X-radiation, the thickness of the object between the first main surface and the second main surface can be determined with high accuracy and velocity.
摘要:
Images are printed on surfaces of discrete objects that are loaded onto an upstream end of a production path passing through a plurality of treatment stations and taken off a downstream end the path. The path passes through a plurality of treatment stations and is split at least one of the stations into a plurality of generally parallel lanes each having a respective treatment device or printer. At the one treatment station the objects are split up and fed to the lanes from the path, the images are printed on the objects in the lanes with the respective printers, and all the objects are returned to the path after printing. The objects move single-file downstream along the path upstream and downstream of the one station. Instead of printers, each lane can have some other type of treatment machine and the operations performed by these treatment machines in the lanes can be the same or different.
