Abstract:
It is provided a lamp (12) for an automotive headlamp (10), comprising a filament coil (14) for emitting light (22) and a nominal alignment axis (32) for aligning the filament coil (14) such, that the filament coil (14) is positioned in the middle of an allowable tolerance box wherein the filament coil (14) is arranged shifted to the nominal alignment axis (32). Due to the shifted arrangement of the filament coil (14) the flexibility given by the allowable tolerance may be used for positioning the filament coil (14) such, that the projected image (18) of the filament coil (14) is projected nearer to the bright/dark-cutoff (40) without blinding oncoming traffic.
Abstract:
An image is scanned using image blocks and a texture regularity vector set is determined for each image block. For each image block being processed, a group of texture regularity vector sets for a set of previously processed image blocks is included in a candidate set. Update texture regularity vector sets are then generated (207) from the group of texture regularity vector sets and these are added to the candidate set. For each vector set, a match measure is generated (211) between the image block and a set of candidate image blocks offset from the image block by vectors of the vector set. A texture regularity vector set is then selected (213) for the image block dependent on the match measures. The invention may allow computationally efficient and accurate determination of texture regularity vector sets that reflect the regularity of textures of the image.

Abstract:
A device (1) comprises an intake duct (11) for taking in milk, an intake duct (15) for taking in a cleaning fluid, a central duct (13) in which both intake ducts (11, 15) are merging, and a pump (31) which is arranged in the central duct (13). Cleaning the device (1) involves filling both the central duct (13) and the milk intake duct (11) with the cleaning fluid. In particular, the pump (31) is a bi-directional pump, wherein filling the central duct (13) with the cleaning fluid is realized by operating the pump (31) in one direction while blocking the milk intake duct (11), and wherein filling the milk intake duct (11) with the cleaning fluid is realized by opening the milk intake duct (11) and operating the pump (31) in a reversed direction, wherein cleaning fluid is displaced from the central duct (13) to the milk intake duct (11).
