This involves firstly producing a first trench (52a) within the first wafer (50a) in such a way that a first region (57b) of the first wafer (50a) enclosed by the first trench (52a) is separated from a second region (57a) of the first wafer (50a). Furthermore, the first trench (52a) is at least partially filled by means of a first passivation layer (53a) in such a way that a first area of the first trench (52a) facing in the direction of the first trench (52a) is completely covered by the passivation layer (53a). Furthermore, a first circumferential cutout (51a) is produced within a first surface (11c) of the first wafer (50a) or within a first coating of the first surface (11c) of the wafer (50a). The method is then repeated for the second wafer (50b). Furthermore, the first wafer (50a) and the second wafer (50b) are arranged relative to one another and connected to one another in such a way that the first (51a) and a second circumferential cutout (51b) of the second wafer (50b) result in a common trench (55), and that a first electrical and/or thermal contact (56a) which is continuous from the first wafer (50a) to the second wafer (50b) and is enclosed by the first passivation layer (53a) and the common trench (55) is produced.

Abstract

The present invention improves safety of a saddle-ride type vehicle and a rider of a saddle-ride type vehicle while improving operability of a saddle-ride type vehicle. In a control device and a control method according to the present invention, an execution unit of the control device executes a control mode in which a positional relationship adjustment operation for adjusting the positional relationship between a saddle-ride type vehicle (1) and a target vehicle to a target positional relationship is performed. In the control mode, the execution unit executes the positional relationship adjustment operation if the target vehicle is set, and executes a speed adjustment operation for adjusting the speed of the saddle-ride type vehicle (1) to a target speed if the target vehicle is not set. During execution of the speed adjustment operation, a safety operation for a rider of the saddle-ride type vehicle (1) is executed on the basis of cut-off information indicating that there is cut-off driving in which another vehicle (3) cuts in front of the saddle-ride type vehicle (1) from an adjacent lane (L3) adjacent to an own vehicle lane (L2) in which the saddle-ride type vehicle (1) is located to the own vehicle lane (L2).

Abstract

A federated learning system and method for training neural networks addresses the challenge of efficiently merging locally trained models while maintaining data privacy. The system includes a server and multiple clients, where the server dispatches machine learning models to clients for local training. The server decomposes updated model weights into common and sparse components using robust principal component analysis (RPCA), applying distinct scaling factors to enhance model accuracy and convergence speed. This approach can be particularly advantageous in scenarios where data privacy is of significant importance, such as in smart devices and medical applications. The method iteratively refines the global model by leveraging client-specific variations and shared patterns, ensuring that client-specific data is not transferred to a central server.

Abstract

The invention relates to a method for measuring a magnetic field using a sensor unit for measuring magnetic fields, the sensor unit comprising an NV magnetometer by means of which a Ramsey spectrum is acquired. According to the invention, various measurement points in the Ramsey oscillations are determined from the acquired Ramsey spectrum, and the fluorescence is subsequently read out again at these points without the complete Ramsey spectrum (the variation in the fluorescent light over the free evolution time) having to be rescanned for this purpose. Therefore, only the fluorescence at the at least two determined measurement points is read out, and the magnetic field to be measured is determined on the basis of this subsequent readout. The invention also relates to a sensor unit, a computer program, and a machine-readable storage medium.

Abstract

Systems and methods for generating audio samples for training and data augmentation in audio classification and contrastive language-audio pretraining are disclosed. A large language model applies a prompting strategy to generate textual descriptions for a sound catalog. The prompting strategy may use sound class descriptors, structured descriptions incorporating sound attributes such as pitch and intensity, or exemplar-based descriptions derived from human-annotated datasets. A pre-trained audio generative model synthesizes audio samples based on the generated textual descriptions. The synthesized audio samples are then used to train an audio foundational model, such as an audio classification model or a contrastive language-audio pretraining model.

Abstract

The invention relates to a method for determining a measured value of a physical variable on the basis of a sensor output value using a sensor (510), wherein the sensor (510) detects a system value of a physical variable to be measured and generates a sensor output value, wherein a profile of the sensor output value follows a profile of the system value at a time delay, the method comprising: specifying a first cutoff frequency on the basis of the time delay; detecting the sensor output value over time and forming an intermediate value profile; processing the intermediate value profile on the basis of the time delay such that frequency components of a frequency spectrum of the intermediate value profile that are below the first cutoff frequency are attenuated more strongly than frequency components of the frequency spectrum of the intermediate value profile that are above the first cutoff frequency; and outputting the processed intermediate value profile as a measured value profile. The invention also relates to an arrangement (500) which consists of a sensor (510) and a computing unit (520) and is designed to carry out the method.

Abstract

The invention relates to a hydraulic coupling (1) for brake systems, which consists of a first coupling bushing (2) having a first fluid channel (4) and a second coupling bushing (3) having a second fluid channel (5). In the unjoined state, the bushings are spatially separated such that the respective fluid channels are tightly closed by spring-loaded sealing bolts (10, 11). By inserting the second bushing into the first bushing (joined state), one sealing bolt is displaced against the spring force, as a result of which the fluid channels (4, 5) form a continuous hydraulic connection. The first bushing has an internal thread (14), and the second bushing has a complementary external thread (15); in the joined state, said threads form a screw connection which allows the bushings to be brought together. This provides a compact, easy-to-operate hydraulic coupling mechanism which ensures reliable fluid transfer in the joined state and reliable sealing in the non-joined state.

Abstract

A plug connector (100) comprises a connector housing (110), a retainer (120) and a contact element (130). A first locking mechanism (140) can be brought into a first locking position (SL1) and a first loose position (LL1) and, when it is in the first locking position (SL1), secures the retainer (120) against removal from the connector housing (110) against an insertion direction (E). A second locking mechanism (150) can be brought into a second locking position (SL2) and a second loose position (LL2) and, when it is in the second locking position (SL2), secures the contact element (130) against removal from the retainer (120) against the insertion direction (E). A locking element (160), which can be displaced relative to the connector housing (110) into a third loose position (LP) and a third locking position (SP), secures, when it is in the third locking position (SP), the retainer (120) by means of positive locking against removal from the connector housing (110) against the insertion direction (E), and prevents a change of the second locking mechanism (150) into the second loose position (LL2).
