    摘要: The present invention relates to a device and method for shifting a fluid within a fluid channel. The device comprising: —a fluid channel (20) comprising at least one chamber (15), each chamber (15) being filled with a fluid (12) comprising an electrolyte and having at least two inlets (17), wherein each inlet (17) has a cross-section which is smaller than a cross-section of the at least one chamber (15); —a sealing control element (13) being enclosed in the fluid (12) of the fluid channel (20) for sealing the at least one chamber (15) and controlling a shift of the fluid (12) within the fluid channel (20) in response to a control signal (30); and —at least one pair of electrodes (8) arranged such that the electrodes (8) are in fluidic contact with the at least one chamber (15) for causing, in response to the control signal (30), an electrocapillary force acting on the sealing control element (13); wherein the sealing control element (13) has a surface tension which is higher than a surface tension of the fluid (12), such that in the absence of the control signal (30) at least a portion of the sealing control element (13) is trapped in one of the at least one chamber (15) due to an intrinsic capillary force, thereby sealing said one of the at least one chamber (15).

    摘要: In an embodiment a method for classification of a decision tree ensemble include saving of threshold values representative of decision trees in the decision tree ensemble into one group per feature to be classified, sorting of the threshold values of a group according to a threshold index, conducting a node comparison of the threshold values of a corresponding group of threshold values, outputting a rank as a result of the node comparison, wherein the rank represents a encoded address to representative of the threshold value and determining a class of the features to be classified as a function of ranks.

    摘要: An implantable fluid pump system is disclosed for supporting or initiating flow inside a hollow organ through which fluid circulates, in particular the heart. The fluid pump system comprises an intracardiac module, which includes two separate fluid channels, each of which possesses an intracardiac fluid channel opening and, located opposite the latter, an extracardiac fluid channel opening, a fastening module, which provides a joining contour for purposes of joining onto the intracardiac module in a fluid-tight manner, and a fastening structure for purposes of intracorporeal fastening onto the hollow organ, and a pump module, which can be mounted in a releasable manner directly or indirectly onto the intracardiac module, and can be attached in a fluid-tight manner to the extracardiac fluid channel openings in order to produce a fluid-tight connection of both fluid channels.
