Patent CA-2649342-A1 (CA)
Inventor: BECKER GLENN C
IPC: G06V10/772
Filed: 2007-04-30
Abstract: Clustering biometric templates is performed by determining fiduciary templates and cluster seed templates, both from a gallery of biometric templates. Similarity vectors are formed by comparing members of the cluster seed templates to the fiduciary templates. The gallery is then partitioned into clusters based upon the similarity vectors, and the clusters are populated from the remainder of the gallery. Partitioning may be performed by a classifier that implements a supervised machine learning algorithm that is trained with the similarity vectors, such as a multi-decision tree classification system. Matching may be accommodated by accessing a probe template, determining a cluster neighborhood for the probe template, and searching the cluster neighborhood to determine whether the gallery includes a match corresponding to the probe template. The same similarity metric is used both to partition a gallery into clusters, and in matching a probe template to the so-clustered gallery.

Title: Hollow plate heat exchangers
Inventor: DOMEN JEAN-PAUL
IPC: F28D9/00
Filed: 2007-06-12
Abstract: One of these heat exchangers (76) consists of a stack of thin-metal walled hollow platelets (7S1-J5), 12 cm long and 5 wide. Each of these walls has a central region stiffened by alternating bosses with steep slopes, situated between two connection regions. Each wall is made by pressing then cutting an appropriate sheet of metal (aluminium 0.3 mm thick). The edges of the two fin walls form steps, symmetrically welded, the height of each step determining the internal half-thickness of a fin. Each platelet connection region ends in a narrow mouth with a cross section that has the same surface area as the embossed central region, and is welded to the edges of a slot made in an external manifold (80-82). The thickness of the internal channel of a platelet is about 0.4 mm when the fluid concerned is a liquid (water) and that of the spaces between the platelets is 7 mm when the other fluid is a gas (air). By hot pressing or thermoforming, sheets of glass or polymer may also be used but the performance is reduced.
