Abstract: The invention concerns a method for performing a statistical test on a device or radio channel, which has N outcomes in the form of N different events, whereby N is higher than two, with the following steps:
     measuring ns samples of the output of the device or radio channel under test, whereby occurs a specific number (na,nb) of each event,   defining a specific limit (L) for the test in a space spanned out by specific numbers of each event,   erecting a N-1 dimensional likelihood distribution on several points of the limit (L),   constructing a threshold for fail of the radio channel or device and a threshold for pass of the radio channel or device by summing or integrating the N-1 dimensional likelihood distribution along unbroken paths parallel to the limit L until a predefined confidence level is reached.

Abstract: In security element, having opaque layer(s) with partly or completely colored, (un)connected gaps on a transparent or translucent substrate, the gaps appear colored in transmitted light after applying printing ink containing solvent-soluble dye and then removing this ink with a suitable solvent, the color being obtained by partly dyeing the previously colorless, transparent substrate. Independent claims are also included for the following: (1) film material comprising the above opaque layer(s) with gaps and substrate film; (2) methods for production of the security element comprising application of the partial opaque coating and then the printing ink containing dye in a suitable solvent, followed by removal of this ink with a suitable solvent, optionally combined with mechanical treatment, and dyeing the substrate in the areas of the gaps in the opaque layer by migration of the dye present in the printing ink. The opaque coating and printing ink are applied by spin coating, spreading, vapor deposition, printing (gravure, flexographic, screen, offset or digital printing etc.), spraying, sputtering or roll application.

Abstract: Sample carriers for use in Transmission Electron Microscopes (TEMs) and freely
commercially available have the form of a gauze with a strengthening edge. The thickness of
these known sample carriers is of the order of magnitude of 20 µm, and is uniform across the
entire sample holder. The tiny thickness of these fragile sample carriers makes manipulation
difficult. There is a desire to realize automatic introduction and removal of sample carriers in
a TEM, seeing as this would make it possible to use the TEM continuously, without human
intervention. 
     The invention describes a robust sample carrier whereby - both in the case of manual
and automatic manipulation - deformation of and/or damage to the sample carrier is
avoided. This is achieved by employing a strengthening edge portion 2 with a thickness 6
larger than the thickness 5 of the middle portion 1 of the sample carrier. The ability to use
the sample carrier in analyses in which tilting is important is hereby not impeded.

Abstract: The present invention is concerned with a model of a waste combustion process which
is accurate and of limited computational complexity at the same time and thus is suitable
for controlling or simulating a waste incineration plant. A pile of waste is represented by
two layers, and the heat transfer from a gas combustion phase or flame above the pile is
limited to a heat radiation interaction between the flame and the upper one of the layers.
The resulting model-based controller for a waste incineration grate takes into account a
variability of the waste composition via a filtered white noise. The controller can assist the
operator in maintaining constant process conditions and maximizing the throughput of the
plant at constant energy output, or realize a training simulator to educate operators in
running a waste to energy plant secure, reliable and efficient.

Abstract: A delineation of a structure of interest can be performed by fitting 3D deformable models, for example, represented by polygonal measures, to the boundaries of the structure of interest. The deformable model fitting process is guided by minimization of the sum of an external energy, based on image feature information, which attracts the mesh to the organ boundaries and an internal energy, which preserves the consistent shape of the mesh. A frequent problem is that the images do not contain sufficient reliable image feature information, such as image gradients, to attract the mesh. According to the present invention, manually drawn attractors in the form of complete or partial contours corresponding to boundaries of the structure of interest are placed into the images which do not contain sufficient feature information. These attractors may easily be discriminated by a subsequent segmentation process. Due to this, advantageously, a 3D deformable model can be fitted to structures of interest in images with poor contrast, noise or image artifacts.
