The invention relates to a computer implemented method for training a neural network for generating a representation of a camera the method comprising:inputting one image of a scene acquired by said camera to the neural network, said neural network being configured to determine an angular representation of a bundle of straight lines passing through an optical center of the camera, each straight line representing a viewing direction of a pixel of the camera.

The invention relates to an electronic driver circuit (EDC) for driving a resonator element (XO) for providing an electronic oscillator (1). The electronic driver circuit (EDC) comprises: a synthesizer section (SYN) which is configured to receive a reference signal (XO_SIG.N, XO_SIG.P) from the resonator element (XO) and to generate a synthesizer signal (SYN_SIG) having a synthesizer frequency (SYN_F) which is equal to, lower or higher than a reference frequency (XO_F) of the reference signal (XO_SIG.N, XO_SIG.P), and having in particular a phase resolution below or equal to 90 degrees with respect to the reference signal (XO_SIG.N, XO_SIG.P); and a pulse injection section (PJD.N, PJD.P) which is configured to inject an injection signal (INJ.N, INJ.P) into the resonator element (XO) at an injection time (T.N, T.P) which is selected using the synthesizer signal (SYN_SIG), or using the synthesizer signal (SYN_SIG) and the reference signal (XO_SIG.N, XO_SIG.P). The electronic driver circuit (EDC) enables providing an electronic oscillator (1) having improved power and noise efficiency.

The present invention relates to anchoring element for a joint implant, a joint implant and a method of fabrication thereof. Specifically, the anchoring element for a joint implant according to the present invention comprises a bone-facing surface designed for the attachment of the joint implant to a bone and a hydrogel-facing surface designed for the attachment to a hydrogel component, wherein at least part of the hydrogel-facing surface is designed as a porous triply periodic minimal surface. The bonding between the hydrogel and the anchoring element is achieved through chemical anchoring and mechanical hooking mechanisms.

The present invention relates to a method for depolymerizing vinyl-based aromatic or heteroaromatic polymers or copolymers in the absence of a heterogenous nickel catalyst, including the steps ofproviding a strong electron donor and a vinyl-based aromatic or heteroaromatic polymer or copolymer,reacting the vinyl-based aromatic or heteroaromatic polymer or copolymer with the strong electron donor in the presence of H₂ at a temperature between 130°C and 275°C to obtain platform chemicals.

A photodetector (PD), comprises: a photonic layer (1) which includes a widening section (12) followed by a wide section (13), wherein the widening section (12) is configured to receive an optical signal (oS) and to distribute optical power of the optical signal (oS) to the wide section (13); a spacer layer (2) which is in contact with the wide section (13); a 2D material layer (3) which is in contact with the spacer layer (2); a plasmonic layer (4) which is in contact with the 2D material layer (3) and includes a plurality of plasmonic resonators (411, 421) which are connected via contact lines (412, 422) to connector lines (413, 423), wherein the connector lines (413, 423) enable to measure charge carriers which are generated upon receipt of the optical signal (oS).
