A vehicle trunk organizer includes at least two elongated, generally parallel strut members and at least two elongated, generally parallel cross-piece members. Each strut member comprises at least one longitudinal opening formed therein, and each cross-piece member comprises at least one elongated beam member which extends through the opening in each strut member. The beam members are pivotally connected to the strut members to enable the trunk organizer to be collapsed from an unfolded state to a folded state. In the unfolded state the trunk organizer comprises a generally rectangular lattice configuration which defines a number of individual compartments within which items to be transported may be placed.

Access to an audiovisual product is controlled, through the use of scrambled video streams. Cells 420 of audiovisual data A,B,C1,D are scrambled into at least first and second video streams 1901, 1902. A video stream switch instruction 2011, 2021 automatically switches between at least first and second video streams 1901, 1902 during reproduction, so that cells are reproduced from an appropriate video stream 1901, 1902 at appropriate times. Multi-angle video objects 2020 hold the cells 420 in a selected video stream 1902, and hold nil or erroneous data C2 in other streams 1901.

An device for accelerating the conditioning process of a stringed musical instrument by causing such instrument to be continuously strummed and vibrated, whereby such vibrations are transmitted to the wooden body of the instrument, which causes the instrument to be prematurely aged and over time improves the consistency, richness, and quality of the sound produced by the instrument when played.

A method for lubricating gun barrel bores comprises burnishing dry lubricating ceramic particulate into the metal surface of the bore such that the particles of particulate substantially fill grain boundaries in the metal. The burnishing of the particulate may be done manually or mechanically. Mechanically burnishing the particulate includes firing particulate-coated ammunition projectiles or other ammunition-firing pieces coated with particulate.

A tool for removal of a rod from an opening in a ring clip or for insertion of the rod through the opening into the ring clip. The tool comprises a body having an upper surface, a ring clip receiving depression in that surface and an aperture in that surface extending below the depression and to one side thereof. The aperture is of a size to receive at least a portion of the rod to which is, or is to be, attached while the ring clip is seated within the depression. The depression has a base and walls which are configured so as to seat a ring clip therein to restrain it against relative movement in a direction towards the opening of the ring clip when the rod is moved in that direction for removal from the ring clip through the opening, and to restrain it against relative movement in an opposite direction when the rod is moved in that opposite direction to be inserted into the ring clip through the opening.

The invention belongs to the technical field of deep learning and computer vision, and particularly relates to a semi-supervised three-dimensional point cloud semantic segmentation method based on a neural network. A semi-supervised learning normal form is adopted, a three-dimensional point cloud semantic segmentation network model is combined, and a whole semi-supervised three-dimensional point cloud semantic segmentation method framework is formed; the network model is divided into a student network and a teacher network, and the two networks sample the same SSCNs network; the input of the student network is an original point cloud which is not transformed, and the input of the teacher network is a transformed point cloud; and the output of the labeled part of the student network is supervised by the corresponding label, and the overall output of the student network and the teacher network is subjected to consistency supervision, so that the weight of the student network is updated, and the weight of the teacher network is obtained by performing exponential moving average on the weight of the student network. Experiments show that by using semi-supervised learning with labeled data and unlabeled data, the performance of the network is obviously improved on each labeling rate.

It is described a communication end device comprising (a) a radio transceiver comprising a receiver for receiving radio signals from a transmitting network entity of a cellular telecommunication network and a transmitter (110, 120, 130) for transmitting radio signals to a receiving network entity of the cellular telecommunication network, (b) a further receiver (140) for receiving a further radio signal, and (c) a control circuit (150, 162, 164), which is coupled to the radio transceiver and to the further receiver (140). The control circuit (150, 162, 164) is configured for generating a control signal for controlling the operation of the further receiver (140). Thereby, the control signal is based on a synchronization signal being related to a time dependent transmission scheme of the transmitter (110, 120, 130) and on an information about the current operational state of the radio transceiver. It is further described a method for controlling the operation of such a communication end device (100) and a program element and a computer-readable medium having stored such a program element, which is adapted for controlling and / or for carrying out this operation control method.

A probe holder for a fill level measuring device operating with the radar principle has a holder housing, a signal conductor for guiding emitted and / or received signals and a spacer. The signal conductor is led out of the interior space of the holder housing through an opening of the holder housing into a process side exterior space of the holder housing. The spacer is arranged in the opening of the holder housing and keeps the signal conductor spaced from the holder housing in the opening. The probe holder realizes a seal relative to the process area in a simple, but effective manner in that the spacer is held in the holder housing by a shrink-fit so that a sealed closure is created between the holder housing and the spacer in the shrunken-in state.

A modular fixture plate system comprising:at least one interlocking fixture plate comprising at least one of a male end and a female end, wherein the male end comprises at least one male projection and the female end comprises at least one female recess; anda docking plate comprising at least one of at least one male projection and at least one female recess;wherein at least one male projection or female recess of the at least one interlocking fixture plate is interlocked with a mating one of the at least one male projection or the at least one female recess of the docking plate.

A method and apparatus for controlling processing temperatures and the activation of polymer by way of machine to control, and control to machine signalling, that allows heat energy compensation for polymer heat energy loss. This is useful when a lower temperature substance, like water is added to expand natural or man made polymers within short distances like that of a nozzle.

A point of care immunization system based upon a range of detection methods to rapidly test a patient in order to ascertain an immunization profile so that vaccinations can be administered to address identified gaps. A point of care system comprised of sample and test strips / cartridges, with said test strips / cartridges configured to meet healthcare requirements of national governing bodies. A point of care system that can function as a stand-alone diagnostic system, stand-alone kit or with a device.

A scroll compressor is provided with a cavity in its back pressure chamber to increase a volume of the back pressure chamber. In this manner, at start-up, the back pressure chamber will not be effective to bias the two scroll members together until this enlarged volume is filled with a compressed refrigerant. This reduces the load on the electric motor at start-up.
