In a method for operating a vehicle, a vehicle guidance activity of a driver of the vehicle is monitored so that, based on the monitored vehicle guidance activity, driving parameters describing a driving style of the driver are generated and provided to a driver assistance system of the vehicle so that the driver's driving style is at least partly reproduced in the context of control of the vehicle by the driver assistance system.

A device for visually combining patient image data from transillumination and/or tomographic imaging methods with object image data comprising video images includes an image display device and at least one video camera associated with the image display device as a portable unit. A computer-assisted navigation system can detect the spatial positions of the image display device and/or the video camera as well as the spatial positions of a part of the patient's body via tracking means. An input device can be provided on the image display device, which enables inputs for image-assisted treatment or treatment planning.

Disclosed is a supporting stand for a display device, which includes: a base; an upright connected to the base; a holding unit connected to the upright and including a bracket, wherein the bracket has an anode conductive portion and a cathode conductive portion to provide electrical contacts for the display device; an electrical function unit disposed within the base; and an electrical connection unit electrically connecting the electrical function unit to the anode and cathode conductive portions of the bracket. Accordingly, the display device can be disposed in contact with the anode and cathode conductive portions of the bracket when being mounted on the bracket, and be electrically connected to the electrical function unit at the base by the electrical connection unit.

A method and system limiting specific consumption of an aircraft by matching sizing of a power supply to actual power needs of a cabin pressure control system. The method optimizes overall efficiency of energy supplied onboard an aircraft including, in an environment near the cabin, at least one main power-generating engine, sized to serve as a single pneumatic energy-generating source for the cabin and as an at most partial propulsive, hydraulic, and/or electric energy-generating source for the rest of the aircraft. The method minimizes power differential between a nominal point of the power sources when the sources are operating, and a sizing point of non-propulsive energy contributions of the sources when the main engine has failed, by equally dividing power contributions of the main engines and the main power generator under nominal operating conditions and in an event of failure of a main engine.

The subject of the invention is an anode block (13, 13a-13e) made of carbon for a pre-baked anode (4) for use in a metal electrolysis cell (1) comprising a higher face (24), a lower face (23), designed to be laid out opposite a higher face of a cathode (9), and four side faces (21,22,34), and including at least one first groove (31a-31e) leading onto at least one of the side faces, in which the first groove has a maximum length L_max in a plane parallel to the lower face, and characterized in that the first groove does not lead onto said lower or higher faces, or leads onto said lower or higher faces over a length L₀ less than half the maximum length L_max.

A method for generating an alternating electric current is provided. In the method, multiple partial currents are generated and superimposed into a total current. Each of the partial currents is generated using a modulation method. The modulation method uses a tolerance band method having tolerance limits that are changeable.

Systems, methods, and computer products that efficiently present large amounts of entity information with a graphical display that retains all or most of the relevant contextual information. More particularly, the preferred embodiment of the present invention enables efficient analysis of data with a graphical display that minimizes distortion of the text in the graphical display, that retains contextual information associated with data objects in the graphical display, and that positions the objects to optimally represent relational database associations.

A method for operating a combustion engine (10) with a variable compression ratio includes the following steps: determining a theoretical value for the compression ratio; adjusting the compression ratio to the theoretical value; and correcting the adjusted compression ratio as a function of signals of a sensor mechanism of the combustion engine (10). The step of correcting includes the step of determining an actual value of the compression ratio. In addition, a device for performing the method is proposed.

A vehicle driver feedback system includes a control unit and a display unit. The control unit is arranged for registering a driver-influenced vehicle driving parameter and the display unit is positioned in the vehicle and arranged for displaying information to the vehicle driver. The control unit further is arranged for: iteratively calculating and storing at least one score value based on the at least one driver-influenced vehicle driving parameter, wherein the at least one score value reflects a magnitude of driver-induced energy waste; driver-induced fuel waste; driver-induced vehicle wear; unsafe driving; or a weighted combination of at least two thereof, and displaying on the display unit during driving of the vehicle a graphical score value development over time or relative to the travelled route as feedback to the vehicle driver.

A biocompatible multipolymer, having a backbone comprising about 10 to 45 wt % of at least one hard segment and about 55 to 90 wt % of soft segments. The soft segments are divided into three groups, 5 to 25 wt %, of total soft segment weight, of an oxygen permeable soft segment; 5 to 25 wt %, of total soft segment weight, of a hydrophilic soft segment; and 50 to 90 wt %, of total soft segment weight, of a biostable, relatively hydrophobic soft segment.

Display methods adding the speed dial number(s) of the called or calling party on the current display of the user's phone so that he/she could memorize and use many speed dial numbers in a shorter period of time. If any cellular subscriber who is using only a few speed dial numbers due to poor memory begins to experience the display method of this invention, he/she can memorize most of necessary speed dial numbers in his/her daily life by dint of the associations being reacted by conditioned reflex, and use them for the rest of his/her life. When a phone user receives a call; Method of displaying the speed dial number(s) and contact name (ID) of a calling party on the receiver's phone; Method of flashing the above two letters alternately to enhance the effect of being associated with each other. When a phone user makes an outgoing call; Method of displaying the speed dial number(s) and contact name (ID) of the called party on the caller's phone. If a caller makes a call by using the search functions or entering the phone numbers; Method of flashing only the speed dial number(s) to enhance the efficiency of recognizing it for the caller: If the caller makes a call by entering a speed dial number(s); Method of flashing only the contact name (ID) of the called party to enable the caller to confirm the called party who is associated with the speed dial number(s) just pressed. The caller places a call and habitually recognizes the speed dial number which is associated with the called party on the line. Every cellular subscriber who is using the cellular phone upgraded with this invention will enjoy the effect that he/she can naturally memorize the speed dial numbers not only necessary for every day's frequent calls but also important for the persons in contact with him/her by phone calls for long.
