Abstract: Disclosed herein are demographic based content delivery systems and associated methods that automatically and non-invasively detect information regarding one or more persons within a designated viewing area. In embodiments of the systems and methods, two different automatic viewer identification and demographic classification technologies may be utilized, either alone or on combination. The technologies include image recognition technologies that utilize computer driven image and pattern recognition analysis algorithms and radio frequency identification tagging and reading technologies. Data collected from either one of or both of the two technologies is used to feed a demographic classification algorithm which then delivers different multimedia content based upon the determination of the algorithm. The embodiments of the invention may therefore be advantageously utilized to market in real time to consumers at the point of sale.

Abstract: The invention relates to status estimation of an entity (150) having a plurality of components (c 1 , ..., c n ), which each is assumed to be in a fault-free mode, or in exactly one of at least one fault mode. First and second listings (D; E) of diagnostic expressions (D 1 , ..., D n ; E 1 ; ..., E m ) are received and stored in a first storage area (120). An empty listing of enhanced diagnostic expressions (Q) is created by clearing any contents of a second storage area (130). Thereafter, for each combination of diagnostic expressions (D i , E j ) in the first and second listings (D; E), a current joint diagnostic expression (Q new ) is generated representing a conjunction of a first diagnostic expression (D i ) from the first listing (D) and a second diagnostic expression (E j ) from the second listing (E). The current joint diagnostic expression (O new ) is compared with each diagnostic expression in the listing of enhanced diagnostic expressions (Q) stored in the second storage area (130), and the expression (O new ) is discarded if: there exists a previous expression (Q k ) in the listing of enhanced diagnostic expressions (Q), and the current joint diagnostic expression (Q new ) implies the previous expression (Q k ); there exists a first diagnostic expression (D k ) in the first listing (D), the first diagnostic expression (D k ) having not yet been included in a joint diagnostic expression and the current joint diagnostic expression (Q new ) implies the first diagnostic expression (D k ); or there exists a second diagnostic expression (E k ) in the second listing (E), the second diagnostic expression (E k ) having not yet been included in a joint diagnostic expression and the current joint diagnostic expression (Q new ) implies the second diagnostic expression (E k ). Any other joint diagnostic expressions (Q new ) are stored in the second storage area (130) as additions to the listing of enhanced diagnostic expressions (Q). A status report is generated (R[Q]) based on the listing of enhanced diagnostic expressions (Q) after having tested all the combinations of diagnostic expressions (D i , E j )

Title: Methods and apparatus for adjusting a journal  area for continuous data protection
Inventor: ARAKAWA HIROSHI
IPC: G06F11/14
Filed: 2007-11-09
Granted: 2009-10-14
Abstract: In a storage system implementing journaling for data backup and restore, users are able to easily determine information regarding amounts journal data generated over specified periods of time. Flexible and automatic adjustment of the journal area is enabled by providing the user with the information on the relationships between the amounts of journal data generated over periods of time. Also dynamic allocation of storage capacity from free space may be applied to the journal volume on an as-needed basis, and may be used to minimize the size of the journal volume when certain journal entries are determined to be no longer needed. Thus, users are able to determine an appropriate size of a journal area in accordance with requirements for predetermined preservation periods for backup data. Thereby, management of the journal area is simplified and the costs to manage the journal area are reduced.

Abstract: An image display apparatus includes a projector receiving an image signal and projecting image light and a screen including a projection plane of arbitrary shape. The projector and screen are connected with link mechanisms and link mechanisms. The relative position and posture between the projector and the screen are automatically or manually changeable. The relative position and posture between the projector and the screen are measured, and correction parameters for correcting distortion of image light projected from the projector onto the screen are calculated from the previously set viewing position of the viewer and the shape of the projection plane of the projector. Based on the calculated correction parameters, the image signal inputted into the projector is subjected to distortion correction processing. It is therefore possible to allow the viewer to see a clear image even if the position of the screen is changed.
