Proposed are a method of and a system for quantitatively predicting kinase-compound binding affinity using a deep learning (DL) model. This method can accurately and quantitatively predict kinase-compound binding affinity while improving the generalization ability of the model.

A system (10) for printing indicia onto a surface of a container (12) includes an elongate web (18) having indicia thereon; a web drum (54) for moving the elongate web (18); a continuous container transfer station (70, 43) having a container holder for releasably securing a container (12). The continuous container transfer station (43, 70) is configured for moving the container (12) from an infeed container station (42) to a web-container contact location (45). The container holder includes a motor system for moving the container (12) into contact with the web (18) and for moving the container (12) away from contract with the web (18) and includes at least one additional motor for rotating the container (12). Upon contact of the container (12) to the web (18), the indicia is transferred from the web (18) to the container (12). The at least one additional motor rotates the container (12) whereby a tangential velocity of the container (12) is substantially equal to a surface velocity of the web (12) at a point of the web-container contact location (45).

The invention relates to a masterbatch comprising: a) 5-50 wt% of a polyolefin, b) 40-85 wt% of plant fibers, c) 1.5-25 wt% of calcium stearate, d) 0-25 wt% of a compatibilizer and/or plasticizer, wherein the plant fibers have a length size less than 500 µm, wherein the total of a)+b)+c) is at least 85 wt% of the masterbatch, and wherein the wt% is relative to the weight of the masterbatch.

An embodiment of the present invention provides a method for establishing a monitoring network in a ship using magnetic-field communication. The method includes: a signal generation step in which at least one sensor installed in each of a plurality of compartments senses an environment and a state within the corresponding compartment and generates a signal including sensing data; a signal reception step in which a multi-access access point (AP) installed in each compartment receives a signal generated from a sensor installed in the same compartment; an AP-to-AP signal transmission and reception step in which a plurality of multi-access APs respectively installed in the compartments mutually transmit and receive signals using a magnetic-field communication scheme; a monitoring-system connection step in which at least one of the plurality of multi-access APs is connected to a central monitoring system of the ship through a wired network; and a monitoring step in which the central monitoring system analyzes data from all of the sensors installed in the ship and monitors a state of the ship in real time.

A pile driving method for driving a pile, e.g. a hollow and open ended pile, e.g. a large diameter pile having an outer diameter of at least 5 meters, e.g. a monopile of an offshore wind turbine, into the soil, e.g. into the seabed. Use is made of a pile driving system which comprises a drive head member and a liquid fillable drop tank with a capacity to hold at least 50m3 of a liquid therein. A lift system brings the drop tank into an initial height position and a quick release of the lift system causes the drop tank to falls down onto an energy transfer assembly for transfer of energy from the falling drop tank to the drive head member.

A production system for the production of flexible pouches comprising a gusset, made from a heat-sealable film material. The production system comprises a bottom heat-sealing device configured to heat-seal one or more bottom regions of one or more of the pouches, a side edge heat-sealing device configured to heat-seal side edge regions of one or more of the pouches and a film material drive, configured to pull the string of interconnected pouches past the bottom heat-sealing device and the side edge heat-sealing device in a transport direction.The film material drive comprises a first film material drive device, which is configured to control its drive motor on the basis of a sensor signal to align the individual pouches with the one or more bottom sealing units, and which comprises compensator rollers over which a portion of the string of interconnected pouches is guided and which are movable to increase or decrease a length of the portion of the string of interconnected pouches guided over the first compensator rollers.

The invention relates to a system for gas-liquid separation, the system comprising: an enclosure for holding a fluid; a separation wall arranged in the enclosure, separating an upper end of the enclosure from a lower end; at least one first conduit for upward flow of the fluid towards a corresponding first opening of the separation wall; at least one second conduit for flow of the liquid downward from a corresponding second opening of the separation wall; a system for circulating the fluid downward via the at least one second conduit and upward via the at least one first conduit, and a gas capture section between the at least one first conduit, the at least one second conduit, and below the separation wall.

A production system for flexible pouches (100) having a bottom gusset comprises first and second bottom sealing stations (11, 12) each having one or more bottom sealing units (13) with first and second bottom sealing jaws (14, 15). Each sealing jaw (14, 15) comprises a sealing face (16a and 16b) configured to project across a bottom region (104) of the bottom gusset of a pouch and across a side edge section (110a, 110b) of each of the side edges of said pouch, as well as across an adjoining side edge section (110a, 110b) of each adjacent pouch, i.e. upstream and downstream pouches. The side edge sections (110a, 110b) each extend from below to above the folding line (108, 109) of the bottom gusset.

The present invention relates to a device and method for improving the accuracy of trajectory forecasting of an Automatic Identification System (AIS). According to the present invention, a system and method for predicting trajectory using AIS data and tidal observatory information are provided, which are configured to improve the accuracy of prediction even in areas with severe tidal changes by integrating sea level information into AIS data through the nearest tidal gauge and making predictions through feature augmentation.

A crane has a crane boom which is provided with a tagline system for controlling a load lifted by the crane, e.g. a wind turbine rotor blade in horizontal orientation. The tagline system comprises four laterally spaced elongated guide members extending along the crane boom and four tagline assemblies which each comprise a tagline, a tagline winch therefor, and a respective travelling block mounted on a respective guide member for travel along the guide member.
