The present invention is directed toward a method for calibrating a biometric authentication device over time. The method of the present invention involves obtaining an authenticating biometric value from a biometric measurement. The biometric value is then weighted and integrated into the authentication data set or template.

A method of estimating an orientation of one or more of a plurality of objects disposed on a plane, from one or more video images of a scene, which includes the objects on the plane produced from a view of the scene by a video camera. The method comprises receiving for each of the one or more objects, object tracking data, which provides a position of the object on the plane in the video images with respect to time, determining from the object tracking data a plurality of basis vectors associated with at least one of the objects, each basis vector corresponding to a factor, which can influence the orientation of the object and each basis vector being related to the movement or location of the one or more objects, and combining the basis vectors in accordance with a blending function to calculate an estimate of the orientation of the object on the plane, the blending function including blending coefficients which determine a relative magnitude of each basis vector used in the blending function.

Using the estimate of the orientation of each object, a three dimensional model can be generated which can, as far as possible, represent the scene of the objects on the plane. For example, the scene may be that of a sporting event such as a football match, the objects being football players. The method can generate an estimation of the orientation of each of the players on the plane of the football pitch. The estimation of the orientation can be combined with the object tracking data for each player to generate a three dimensional representation, which models, as far as possible, the real football match as captured by the video camera.

Reduction deviations are rendered as dependent coordinate mappings of two-dimensional displacements which characterize restraints associated with deviations of observation sampling measurements from a fitting function. The mappings are considered to be represented by both projections and path coincident deviations. Data inversions are generated as loci and discriminated by criteria corresponding to deviations associated with alternate forms for representing essential weighting. Deficiencies related to nonlinearities and heterogeneous precision are compensated by essential weight factors.

A scented article manufactured from a sintered metal powder. The metal powder may be one or more metals, one or more alloys, or any combination or mixture thereof. The scented article is of a weight sufficient to sink to a depth in the water and shaped such that, when urged through the water, the lure moves in a substantially oscillating motion. The scented article is impregnated with a scent, such as a fish attractant, that is slowly diffused in the water as the scented article is urged through the water. A method of manufacturing a scented article is also disclosed.

The obstacle crossing type multifunctional heavy load dismounting and mounting machine can adapt to the complex target range working environment, the dismounting and mounting machine is proper in whole machine dead weight, high in structural strength and good in rigidity, the size of the whole machine is further reduced to the maximum degree, and therefore the dismounting and mounting machine has the better obstacle crossing capacity and the better dismounting and mounting working adaptability.

The present invention, relates to an apparatus for securing cassettes housed within an automatic teller machine (ATM). The apparatus comprises at least one barrier and a supporting structure for supporting at least one barrier. Each barrier is formed and arranged to be associated with a pair of adjacent cassettes and to be movable between a first position in which the barrier prevents removal of a pair of adjacent cassettes in use of the apparatus along their respective removal paths. The barrier is moveable to a second position in which the barrier prevents removal of one cassette of the pair of adjacent cassettes along its removal path and to a third position in which the barrier prevents removal of the other cassette of the pair of adjacent cassettes along its removal path. In use, only one cassette of a pair of adjacent cassettes is removable along its removal path when the barrier is in the second or third position. The apparatus is further formed and arranged so that the barrier (or barriers) can be moved to a ‘service’ position so that both cassettes can be accessed and removed along their removal paths and for servicing of the ATM.

Current product offerings do not provide for a light-weight, portable dog restraint system for soft terrain, particularly for beach locations. Many states have enacted laws that require a dog to be on a leash while on a beach. This requirement makes it difficult for dog owners to restrain their dogs and simultaneously enjoy the beach. The challenge is to find a way to provide enough resistance to restrain a dog in a soft terrain setting. This challenge is addressed by a product which allows for appropriate weight to be added to the restraint system on location. The restraint system consists of a hollowed receptacle which can be filled with sand or water at the beach location. The hollow receptacle is then closed by a sleeve that screws into the hollow base. The sleeve consists of a center core wrapped by a pipe and eye-bolt system that rotates 360 degree around the center core. This allows the dog to be tethered, but have a free range of motion around the restraint system base. The top of the sleeve is hollow to allow for an umbrella or other shade system to be implemented to provide a shady rest sport for the dog. Finally, the restraint system base has two receptacles covered by doors. These receptacles are for food and water for the dog.

When a light and porous inorganic substance is employed in a large amount as a excipient, it is impossible in the subsequent tabletting step using a tabletting machine to supply a desired amount of the resultant powder into a mortar having a definite diameter. As a result, extremely light tablets are produced. A method of producing the tablet is characterized by including dissolving or dispersing an oily substance, a liquid substance derived from a natural product or a low-melting substance in an organic solvent, allowing a porous calcium silicate powder to adsorb and hold the solution, adding a starch and/or a saccharide thereto, granulating the obtained mixture to give granules having an appropriate loose bulk density, and then compression molding those granules to give tablets.

The invention discloses a silk and down quilt, which consists of a quilt cover, a silk yarn cover, a silk layer, a down fabric, a down interlayer, a zipper and burred silk buckles, and is characterized in that: the down interlayer is arranged in the middle of the silk layer; down is filled in the down interlayer, the down is uniformly distributed in the down interlayer and fixed by lines on a sewing machine; burred silk buckles are uniformly arranged on the upper and lower sides of the down fabric; silks are uniformly distributed between the down interlayer and the silk yarn cover; the silk layer is fixed by the burred silk buckles; the silk and down quilt is filled into the quilt cover through the zipper on the quilt cover; the quilt combines the advantages of silk and down, it is impossible for the down to escape to the outside to be breathed into the lung part of a human body, and is made by natural fibers combining light weight, softness and thinness; the quilt has proper weight, and is insusceptible to hardening and very breathable; the main component of the quilt is pure natural animal protein fibers of which the structure is most similar to that of the skin of human beings; and the quilt has the effects of resisting wind, dehumidifying, soothing the nerves, nourishing, and balancing the sink of human beings. Based on a simple and clear principle, the quilt is suitable for the old, middle aged and young and teenagers and children, and has a promotion and use value.

A current operational health of a Telephone Network Switch (TNS) is determined by selectively using only certain parameters. These selected parameters, both internal and external to the TNS, are those that most influence the operational health. The operational health of the TNS is projected into the future in order to forecast the TNS performance. Not only can a current or future deviation be determined, but also a source of the deviation is identified allowing for a focused preventative maintenance effort.
