Patent DE-19940577-A1 (DE)
Inventor: KATES RONALD
IPC: G06F19/00
Filed: 1999-08-26
Abstract: The object of the inventive method is to train a neural network to determine risk functions in  patients in association with a first illness relating to a predetermined illness based on the predetermined training data sets. Said predetermined data sets contain objectifiable information which can be used as a yardstick to measure the pathological condition of the patient. The neural network contains a plurality of neurons arranged in several layers, in addition to synapses connecting said neurons. In the course of the training, the structure of the neural network is simplified by tracking and eliminating the synapses which play no significant role in the evolution of the risk functions. This can be done, for example, by examining a possible correlation between the influences which two sending neurons have on the same receiving neuron, and where possible, eliminating one of the two synapses connecting to the receiving neuron.

Title: Magnetic spin resonance device for medical imaging, has static magnetic field and two resonant oscillating magnetic fields at azimuthal angle of 90 degrees to each other
Inventor: HAASE AXEL
IPC: G01R33/36
Filed: 1999-09-16
Abstract: Device has four equally spaced axial conductors (1) with some capacitors (3) arranged around the conductors (1 or 2) so that an oscillating circuit is formed. The Eigen frequency of which corresponds to a first resonance frequency.

Abstract: An expansion temperature tolerant, dry, expandable sealant and baffle
is provided which is capable of undergoing a desired degree of full expansion when
an automobile body containing the sealant and baffle product is conveyed through a
conventional bake and/or curing oven. The sealant and baffle product is fully
expandable over a wider temperature and time range than heretofore available
expandable baffle products. The composition for preparation of a molded expandable
sealant and baffle component includes a grafted anhydride polymer, an epoxide
terminated additive polymer which is capable of reacting with the grafted anhydride
polymer and a blowing agent. The anhydride polymer and the epoxide terminated
polymer react to a limited degree in the absence of a catalyst when the baffle product
is heated in the bake and/or curing oven, thus providing an improved networked and
bridged backbone polymer which effectively entraps gas emanating from the blowing
agent, without adversely affecting the flexibility and expansion characteristics of the
sealant baffles.

Abstract: A method of updating a reference value in a high
speed closed loop based on a likelihood is disclosed.
When a path with a smallest accumulated value of Hamming
distances from a received sequence is determined as a
decoded sequence out of respective paths on a trellis
diagram in a Viterbi algorithm, a likelihood which is an
accumulated value of Hamming distances between a decoded
sequence and a received sequence for a certain period of
time is detected. When the likelihood is equal to or
lower than a threshold value, updating is immediately
performed to increase a reference Eb/IO. When the
likelihood is higher than the threshold value, an average
value of the likelihood for detection over N times is
derived. When the average value is lower than L, the
reference value is increased. When the average value is
higher than M, the reference value is reduced. Otherwise,
the reference value is not changed.
