FROM TRAVIS COUNTY

Per curiam.

O R D E R

Relator has filed a motion for leave to file a writ of mandamus pursuant to the original

application has not yet been forwarded to this Court.

In these circumstances, additional facts are needed. Respondent, the District Clerk of Travis

County, is ordered to file a response, which may be made by submitting the record on such habeas

corpus application, submitting a copy of a timely filed order which designates issues to be

investigated (see McCree v. Hampton, 824 S.W.2d 578, 579 (Tex. Crim. App. 1992)), or stating that

Relator has not filed an application for a writ of habeas corpus in Travis County. Should the

response include an order designating issues, proof of the date the district attorney’s office was

served with the habeas application shall also be submitted with the response. This application for

leave to file a writ of mandamus shall be held in abeyance until Respondent has submitted the

appropriate response. Such response shall be submitted within 30 days of the date of this order.

Deeds — Sufficiency.

A deed purporting to be a sale of all the interest of the grantors in the estate of their grandfather was held to be binding on the grantors.

APPEAL PROM CASEY CIRCUIT COURT.

December 19, 1872.

*Wolford), Owsley & Brordett, for appellant.*

*Durham & Jacobs, for appellees.*

Opinion by

Judge Hardin:

Although the deed from the appellees to- the appellant, describing the interest of the appellees in the estate of Joel Sweeney, deceased, as being one-seventh; having reference, no doubt, to the number of decedent’s children and their representatives, including Jesse Sweeney, yet the deed in our opinion plainly imports a sale of all the interest and right of the appellants-, as heirs of their grandfather in the property described in the deed as having descended to his heirs; whether Jesse Sweeney, or any other heir, should be excluded on account of advancements or not.

It results that the judgment that the appellees are entitled, notwithstanding their deed, to one-forty-second part of said property, is erroneous.

Wherefore the judgment is reversed and the cause remanded with directions to dismiss the petition.

Dear Sir/Madam, 

The European Commission DG Enterprise and Industry, Unit Standardisation, welcomes this study on the 

effectiveness of the Federal Agency participation in standardization, and is quite interested to be kept 

informed of its conclusions.

Although the European and the American views on standardization are quite different, their underlying 

values are mostly shared ones, especially those directly linked to the WTO principles of openness, 

transparency and consensus. We particularly welcome the effort to implement a coherent system of 

standards, that does not, as much as possible, overlap or duplicate international standards if those are 

deemed fit to the domestic purpose of standardization. This is a concept we are trying hard to implement 

also in the European Union, and that carries the undeniable benefit of lowering technical barriers to trade, 

to the advantage of everyone involved in the market, from the manufacturers to the consumers.

We would also be interested to see which of the 4 Federal Government's and Federal Agencies' 

approaches to the standards-setting process seems more succesful (i.e.: 1. staff members from FG-FA 

participate a s experts in standards activities led by the private sectors; 2. FG-FA identifies standards 

needs and reach out to provate sector for the development; 3. FA fund private standards-setting activities 

and 4. FA is in full control: both identification of the needs and leadership of the standard development 

process are taken by FA).

Last but not least, the European Union's main actors in standardization (the 3 ESOs, European 

Standardization Organizations, i.e. CEN, CENELEC, ETSI and their national members) seem to have 

adopted the FRAND policy (Fair, Reasonable, And Non-Discriminatory) regarding patents and copyrights, 

that had previously been adopted by the international standardization level, i.e. ISO, IEC, ITU. See for 

example the CEN-CENELEC Guide 8, CEN/CENELEC Guidelines for Implementation of the Common 

IPR Policy, freely available from the CEN and CENELEC websites.

We would recommend the US colleagues to align to this widely adopted practice, but are also interested 

in the results of this particular enquiry.

BILLING CODE 3290-F5-P
Results from the new Cambridge algorithms for iris recognition

John Daugman and Cathryn Downing, University of Cambridge, UK

We wanted to explore what improvements in iris recognition are possible by new methods which depart

from the methods described in the 1994 Daugman patent (US 5,291,560) that are used in current public

deployments and that form today’s core licensed technology. The new methods no longer use a polar

coordinate system (which is the key Independent Claim 1 of the ,560 patent), nor do they encode the

iris texture in the manner described in the Dependent Claims. Other new developments concern how

artefacts like eyelashes are handled. We have found significant improvements in performance as a result:

1. Execution speed for the entire process (from raw image input, including disk access time, to template

output) is faster than 30 frames/second, and hence faster than the video frame rate. The entire

ICE Experiment 1 gallery of 1,425 images is enrolled in less than a minute.

2. Our ROC for Experiment 1 is shown; the magnified inset displays just the region from 0.95 to 1.0

since otherwise no rounding is evident at the elbow in the full unit square.

3. Some ROC points: At FAR = 0, we have FRR = 0.013. At FAR = 0.0001, we have FRR = 0.008.

Our Equal Error Rate for Experiment 1 is 0.0038.

4. Nearly half (48%) of False Rejects when FAR = 0 are caused by just 5 very poor images. Their

disqualification in Experiment 1 would bring the FRR down to 0.007 when FAR = 0.

5. Finally, we discovered a “Ground Truth” error (a misclassified image) in the dataset. For person

289824, image 246260.tiff is misclassified as an image of this person’s left eye. In fact this is an

image of that person’s right eye (as humans can confirm by noting the nasal canthus). Consequently

images 239226, 240268, 240748, 241748, 242502, 243583, and 245124.tiff make matches with it

that we believe are in fact correct.
