Title: Method and apparatus for comparing document features using pattern recognition
Inventor: BALDERSON ROBERT
IPC: G06V10/44
Filed: 2007-06-28
Abstract: Systems and methods for assistsing in the determination of the authenticity of security documents based on known characteristics of similar reference security documents. The system and methods use digital processing to capture a digital image of the document being examined and they use a feature localization or detection technique to search for a specific feature in the document based on a stored image of a similar feature from a reference document. Once the feature on the subject document has been found, the digital image of the localized feature is transformed, by applying mathematical transforms or other image/mathematical operators, such that the result will have distinguishing characteristics that can be derived or analyzed. When the distinguishing characteristics have been analyzed, these are then compared to the stored distinguishing characteristics of similar features from reference documents. Based on the comparison, a score is then generated that is indicative of how similar or how different the distinguishing characteristics of the feature being examined are from the features from reference documents. The system may also be used such that multiple features from a single document are assessed and scored separately from one another with a final aggregate or weighted score being provided to the user for the whole document.

Title: Method and apparatus for accessing a foreign network with an obfuscated mobile device user identity
Inventor: ANGWIN ALASTAIR JOHN
IPC: H04W12/06
Filed: 2008-05-08
Abstract: A mobile device identifier (such as an MSISDN) that typically accompanies a mobile device request is replaced with an "enriched" identifier that exposes the mobile device user's home operator but obfuscates the mobile device's (and, thus, the device user's) identity. In one embodiment, the identifier comprises a first part, and a second part. The first part comprises a data string that identifies (either directly or through a database lookup) the mobile device user's home operator. The second part, however, is an opaque data string, such as a one-time-use unique identifier (UID) or a value that is otherwise derived as a function of the MSISDN (or the like). The opaque data string encodes the mobile device's identity in a manner that preferably can be recovered only by the user's home operator (or an entity authorized thereby). When the mobile device user roams into a foreign network, that network receives the enriched identifier in lieu of an MSISDN. The foreign network uses the first part to identify the mobile device user's home network, e.g., to determine whether to permit the requested access (or to provide some other value-added service). The foreign network, however, cannot decode the second part; thus, the mobile device's identity (as well as the identity of the mobile device user) remains obscured. This ensures that the user's privacy is maintained, while preventing third parties from building a profile of the device based on the requests that include the MSISDN or similar identifier.

Abstract: This invention discloses systems and methods for conversion of manure to novel fertilizer and/or soil builder products useful as input for organic farming operations The equipment systems comprise a gas turbine generator unit (preferred heat source), a dryer vessel and a processing unit, wherein the connection between the gas turbine and the dryer vessel directs substantially all the gas turbine exhaust into the dryer vessel and substantially precludes the introduction of air into the dryer vessel. The dryer vessel receives the manure for contact with the turbine exhaust gases to convert the manure to a dry material, which is passed to the processing unit where it is formed into granules, pellets or other desired form for the final dry fertilizer product. The method comprises drying, heating and converting the manure to form novel self binding fertilizer and soil builder type products for organic farming and other uses.

Title: Measurement apparatus, measurement method, and feature identification apparatus
Inventor: SHIMA YOSHIHIRO
IPC: G06T17/05
Filed: 2008-02-15
Abstract: The position of a feature near a road is measured. A captured image of the road and its surroundings is stored in an image storage unit. Points specified by three-dimensional coordinates determined by laser measurement made simultaneously with the image capturing are stored as a road surface shape model in the three-dimensional-points model storage unit (709). A model projecting unit (172) projects the points onto the image. An image display unit (341) displays the image and the points superimposed on the image on a display. The user specifies a pixel on the measurement object feature as a measurement image point through an image point input unit (342). A neighbor extracting section (171) extracts points near the measurement image point and on the feature from the whole points. A feature position calculating section (174) outputs the three-dimensional coordinates representing the extracted point as the three-dimensional coordinates of the feature.

Abstract: Procédés et dispositifs destinés à être utilisés pour le traitement d'appels de protocole d'ouverture de session (SIP) dans un environnement réseau qui comprend un réseau à commutation de circuit (CS) et un réseau de sous-système multimédia (IMS) sur protocole Internet (IP). Selon une technique à titre illustratif, un message d'enregistrement SIP est envoyé d'un dispositif de communication mobile au réseau IMS en vue d'un enregistrement du dispositif mobile. Un message OK 200 SIP est reçu par le dispositif mobile en provenance du réseau IMS en réponse à l'envoi du message d'enregistrement SIP. Le message OK 200 SIP comprend un ou plusieurs paramètres d'appel variables ou une adresse réseau à laquelle on peut obtenir les paramètres d'appel variables. Les paramètres d'appel variables peuvent comprendre un nombre E. 164 qui peut être attribué de manière dynamique au dispositif mobile par le réseau IMS, et/ou un temps ou une valeur de compteur qui définit une période pendant laquelle le nombre E. 164 reste attribué au dispositif mobile. D'autres informations peuvent être comprises comme des informations de technologie/réseau d'accès préféré. Les paramètres d'appel préférés sont stockés dans une mémoire du dispositif mobile et utilisés pour traiter chacun des appels d'une pluralité d'appels SIP impliquant le dispositif mobile. Après l'enregistrement, le dispositif mobile peut initialiser un compteur de temps avec la valeur de compteur, faire fonctionner le compteur et, lors du traitement d'un appel SIP, envoyer un message d'établissement d'appel CS qui comprend le nombre E.164 au réseau IMS pour que l'appel soit routé si le compteur ne s'est pas écoulé. Si le compteur s'est écoulé, le dispositif mobile peut empêcher l'utilisation du nombre E.164 repris dans le message d'établissement d'appel CS et obtenir et utiliser en variante un nouveau nombre E.164 ou une tout autre technique différente pour traiter l'appel SIP. La présente invention concerne également des techniques en variante pour obtenir des paramètres et formater les données.

Title: Partial search carrier-phase integer ambiguity resolution
Inventor: HATCH RONALD R
IPC: G01S19/44
Filed: 2008-05-23
Abstract: A method for performing integer ambiguity resolution in a global navigation satellite system is disclosed. A set of ambi gui ti es, which are associated wi th carri er phase measurements of at least some of the signals received from the satellites in an identified set of satellites, are identified (block 420 in Figure4A). I nteger ambiguities are estimated and a best candidate set and a second best candidate set of integer ambiguity values are determined (block 430). Upon determining that the best set of integerambiguity val ues f ai I to meet a discrimination test (block 440), each ambiguity for which integerambiguity values i n the best candi date set and second best candi date set fa I to meet predef i ned cri teria are removed from the set of ambiguities to produce a reduced set of ambiguities (block 450 in Figure 4B). The integer ambiguities in the reduced set of ambiguities are then resolved (block 468 in Figure 4C) and an output is generated in accordance with the resolved integerambiguities (block 470 in Figure 4C).
