Abstract: A method and apparatus for the control of various fruit flies are disclosed. The method operates by simultaneously attracting, separating and then killing male and female populations. Thus, control of fruit flies is achieved by a single procedure of attracting and killing the male and female population simultaneously and independently by means of attract and kill devises utilising pesticides and different specific attractants. Embodiments may be based on two components: one component is to attract and kill male fruit fly and the other component is to attract and kill female fruit flies. Both components can be deployed in a ratio and in specific configuration in the field to achieve the optimum result. The two components preferably remain active throughout the fruiting season or around 100-120 days subject to environmental conditions. The two components may be deployed in the manner of a semisolid mass applied manually or mechanically to a trunk of the tree. The two components may be deployed in a container (Fig 1) such as a polymeric body. Part of the container is preferably in the shape of a canopy (12) to hold the component and to protect it against the environmental elements.

Abstract: The estimation of disparity in a stereo image pair using a hybrid recursive matching processing denoted HRM with two different meander scan paths is improved. During the second meander path processing an additional disparity value calculated in the first meander path processing is used for the improved prediction of the disparity values. In a further embodiment, a third meander path processing is carried out, which third meander path corresponds to the first meander path, and the disparity values from the first meander path are used for a further improved prediction of the resulting disparity values. Instead of the third meander path processing, a bilinear filtering of disparity values can follow the second meander path processing.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer program products for processing database query results. Query results are retrieved from a database of travel itineraries based on search criteria provided by a traveler, and a subset of travel itineraries selected from the search results based on a composite profile. The traveler may identify which travel itineraries of the subset they prefer, and the result of this selection used to update a probabilistic profile of the traveler. The search results may be re-ranked using an updated composite profile, and a new subset of travel itineraries selected based on the re-ranking. The traveler may indicate which travel itinerary is preferred from the new subset, and the probabilistic profile updated based thereon. The process of re-ranking search results and updating the probabilistic profile may be repeated until successive sets of ranked results match each other.
