Method for obtaining physiological muscle values of a user by means of a programmable accelerometer, wherein the method comprises the following operations:selection, by the user, of the type of test to be carried out;measurements of a sequence of acceleration data during the test;emission of sound signals at the beginning, during and at the end of the test. The end of the test is determined by verifying a condition dependent on the type of test selected. The sound signals can indicate the beginning of a test, an action to be carried out during the test, or an error condition during the test;displaying of a value calculated on the basis of said successive measurements of the acceleration and dependent on the type of test selected.

A metamerism-reducing color transformation in which a color value in a perceptual color space is mapped to a corresponding color value in a device dependent color space. Multiple different inverse transforms are applied to the color value in the perceptual color space, one each for respective ones of multiple different viewing conditions such as different viewing illuminants or different surround, thereby resulting in plural different target color values in a viewing condition dependent space. The plural different target color values in the viewing condition dependent space are subjected to regression analysis based on a spectral model of reflectance of device colors so as to calculate to a single color coordinate in device dependent coordinates that best fits the plural different target color values in the viewing condition dependent space. The regression analysis may be a weighted regression analysis. Because the color value in the destination device dependent color space is obtained through best-fit regression analysis of plural different target color values corresponding to multiple different viewing conditions, metameric shifts in the color's appearance due to changes in viewing condition are significantly reduced as compared to transformations which obtain values accurate only for a single viewing condition.

A method for controlling a vehicle seat adjuster in an adjusting path having a first mechanical stop and a second mechanical stop. A user sets an adjustment position of the adjuster inside the adjusting path. A protective stop is also automatically set in the adjusting path in the vicinity of the mechanical stops or another mechanical block blocking the adjusting path. The protective stop causes the adjusting motion to be reduced or stopped upon reaching of the protective stop. This helps produce a smooth braking of the vehicle seat and reduces the mechanical strain on the mechanical stops. The protective stop may be corrected with an updated protective stop. The updated protective stop is maintained despite any user action if a condition dependent on the adjusting motion of the adjuster is fulfilled. Learning regions within the adjusting path are provided to allow the setting of updated protective stops within the learning regions.

Macrophages sequester and aggregate ultrasmall superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (USPIO) in their lysosomes. The amount of USPIO loading of macrophages depends upon the route and dose of administration, and the pharmacokinetics of accumulation and removal. Both fixed macrophages and activated macrophages associated with inflammatory diseases and cancer phagocytize USPIOs, and the loaded macrophages can serve to identify the extent of a macrophage-dependent disease as well as to direct treatment options. Furthermore, the absorption of energy from incident electromagnetic waves by the aggregated nanoparticles can be used for conformal thermotherapy. The USPIOs can further be used to carry drugs to the same activated macrophages. The co-administered drugs can be bound to the USPIO by condition-dependent releasing links that are responsive to local pH or heating.

The invention discloses a multi-label active learning method based on a condition-dependent label set. First, a condition-dependent label set of labels is mined under the condition of weak labeling. For each time of iteration, the information entropy and the relative entropy of each sample-label pair in a current unlabeled sample pool are calculated on the basis of the condition-dependent label set. Then, the information entropy and the relative entropy are integrated to get the amount of information of each sample-label pair. Finally, the sample-label pair with the largest amount of information is selected as an input object for training an active learning model in the current iteration. Experiments show that the active learning method has good generalization performance compared with other methods for mining the relationship between labels under the condition of weak labeling.

An integrated controller for an environmental testing system simultaneously controls and synchronizes vibration, temperature, and humidity in an environment test chamber over a specified reliability test duration, and performs condition-based measurement and processing of vibration data obtained from the environment test chamber for one or more specified trigger conditions. The controller executes a combined run schedule using a single internal clock and a hardware processor, to generate parameter control commands for the environment test chamber that remain synchronized to the single internal clock over the duration of a test, even one that lasts for weeks or months. This permits multi-variate processing of measured instantaneous values of temperature, humidity, and vibration to obtain, e.g., condition-dependent vibration power spectra and averages for available conditions of temperature, humidity, or both.

A method of maximum output power configuration with UE preference in carrier aggregation is provided.A UE configures multiple component carriers(CCs)with carrier aggregation for communicating with a serving base station in a mobile communication network.
