Abstract: To provide a face recognition method and apparatus for more
accurately recognizing face portions contained in an image, face
extraction method for extracting the recognized faces, and image
pickup apparatus. A subject is photographed with a camera whose
incidence of defects such as red-eye or other eye color change
has been increased intentionally by designing the flash unit and
lens to be extremely close to each other, and so on. Discolored
eye portions are detected in a photographic image and the faces
of people contained in the photographic image are recognized based
on the discolored eye portions. The discolored eye portions in
the photographic image are corrected and the recognized face
portions are extracted from the corrected photographic image.
This makes it possible to generate corrected facial images more
accurately.

Inventor: ANDERSON DUWAYNE R
IPC: G01J9/00
Filed: 2003-05-19
Abstract: A swept wavelength meter provides a real-time wavelength calibration
scheme for a swept laser. The calibration scheme generates an electrical
signal from a swept optical output of the swept laser that is cyclical with
respect to the wavelength of the swept optical output over a defined range of
wavelengths. The point on the electrical signal at any given time provides an
accurate phase for the swept optical output at that point. The electrical signal
in turn is calibrated by generating calibration references from the swept optical
output using known absorption lines within the defined range of interest. The
wavelength of the swept laser is calibrated as a function of a reference
wavelength from the known absorption lines and the phase at the given point.
Simultaneously forward and reflective measurements may be taken, with the
forward measurement being used as a normalizing measurement for
determining insertion and return loss automatically for a device under test.

Abstract: Nitrogen is rejected from a feed natural gas stream (4) comprising methane and
nitrogen so as to form a primary methane product. The mole fraction of nitrogen in
the feed natural gas increases over a period of time. The feed natural gas stream is
cooled in a main heat exchanger (10) and is rectified in a double rectification column
(20). A primary product methane stream (48) and a secondary nitrogen-enriched product
stream (54) are withdrawn from the rectification column (20). The secondary nitrogen-enriched
product stream has a mole fraction of methane at or above a chosen
minimum value when the said mole fraction of nitrogen is at a minimum. When the
said mole fraction of nitrogen rises to a value at which the mole fraction of methane
in the secondary nitrogen-enriched product stream falls below the chosen minimum,
a part of the feed gas is introduced through conduit (90) into the secondary nitrogen-enriched
product stream so as to restore its mole fraction of methane to the chosen
minimum value or a value thereabove.

Abstract: A living body stimulating apparatus capable of giving extensive therapeutic
effects and softer feeling of stimulation. Rectangular wave pulse groups S containing
a plurality of pulse density modulated higher frequency components or on-pulses than
a rectangular wave pulse are applied repeatedly from conductor elements 24 to a
human body. As a human body has a capacitive impedance, softer stimulation can be
applied to the human body as compared with a rectangular wave having the same
current and frequency. Furthermore, a pause period between on-pulses is varied by a
stimulus generator means 8, so that a charging current to an equivalent electrostatic
capacity of a human body is supplied little by little so as to slowly increase a charged
quantity. As a result, cenesthesia of softer stimulation can be obtained.

Abstract: The difference in voltages measured upstream and downstream of a
pressure junction in a power distribution system produced by the energizing power is
divided by the measured current to calculate a value that is a function of the
impedance of the pressure junction, which is monitored for deterioration. To
eliminate noise resulting from dividing a small number by a large number and
transients in the power distribution system, the impedance is calculated from the
squares of the voltage differences and currents for a large number of samples, and the
change between successive calculations is limited to produce a stable median value.
