Title: Recursive filtering of a video image
Inventor: MITCHELL ARTHUR
IPC: H04N5/21
Filed: 2007-04-30
Abstract: A method of recursive filtering of a video image includes storing an image 20 comprising picture elements. Luminance and chrominance weightings are assigned for weighting neighbouring picture elements to a picture element in a current image and for the stored image 20. A sum of differences is calculated between weighted luminance and chrominance values of a picture element and neighbouring picture elements of a current image and of corresponding picture elements of the stored image. The sum of differences is normalised to control sensitivity to motion in the image to obtain a value of a proportional parameter K(x,y) for each picture element.  The current image is recursively filtered using the proportional parameter K(x,y) corresponding to each picture element by adding together a proportion K(x,y) of each picture element of the image to a complementary proportion of each corresponding picture element of the previously stored image.

Abstract: A tool (20) and method for installing collapsible inserts. The tool (20) includes a stabilizing handle (26) which is threaded onto a tool body (24).  The tool body (24) is threaded onto a tool shaft (22). In use, a collapsible insert (34) is threaded onto the tool (20) and the insert (34) is positioned in a hole (102) in a workpiece (104). An actuating handle (38) of the tool (20) is then rotated, while holding the stabilizing handle (26), to cause the collapsible insert (34) to collapse, thereby installing the insert (34) relative to the workpiece (104). Once the insert (34) has been collapsed using the tool (20), the actuating handle (38) is rotated in the opposite direction, while holding the stabilizing handle (26), to disengage the tool (20) from the insert (34). Then, a hanger (106) is threadably inserted into the collapsed insert (34) and a threaded rod (124) is threaded into the hanger (106).  Alternatively, the threaded rod (124) is directly threadably engaged with the collapsed insert (34), without need for a hanger (106).

IPC: G06Q20/40
Filed: 2007-11-16
Abstract: A method and system for authorizing a user to perform a financial transaction using a financial account. The method includes receiving an authorization request from a user to access a financial account. The authorization service initiates at least one authorization transaction using the financial account. The amounts of the authorization transactions may be minimal, such as less than one dollar. The amounts of each authorization transaction are withheld from the user. The user is prompted to perform a mathematical operation using the amounts of the authorization transaction. If the user is capable of retrieving the amounts and performing the mathematical operation, the authentication service determines that the user is authorized to perform financial transactions using the financial account. Therefore, upon receiving a proffered result from the user, the authorization service grants the authorization request if the proffered result is correct.

Title: Image classification and search
Inventor: WOODBECK KRIS
IPC: G06F15/80
Filed: 2007-12-07
Abstract: An electronic image classification and search system and method are provided. Images are processed to determine a plurality of simple feature descriptors based upon characteristics of the image itself. The simple featu re descriptors are grouped into complex features based upon the orientation of the simple feature descriptors. End-stopped complex feature descriptors and complex feature descriptors at multiple orientations are grouped into hypercomplex feature descriptors. Hypercomplex resonant feature descriptor clusters are generated by linking pairs of hypercomplex feature descriptors. Feature hierarchy classification can then be performed by adaptive resonance on feature descriptors and classifier metadata associated with the image can then be generated to facilitate indexing and searching of the image within an hierarchical image database.
