摘要： The present invention features a method for identifying objects in an image and automatically generating of object recognition code. First, an image is segmented and coded in a first plane in at least one segmentation domain to create a first set of uniform fields or regions having interior and exterior information. Then the image is segmented and coded in a second plane, again in at least one segmentation domain, to create a second set of uniform fields or regions having interior and exterior information. The relationship of the boundaries of the first and second sets of fields is then determined. Information representative of the uniform fields is analyzed and/or communicated horizontally and vertically for relationships of objects among the planes. The system is then queried, forming object definitions, in order to recognize objects in the image. The objects can also be displayed on a common image domain. The image can also be resegmented, each field being coded by a multi-bit (e.g., 32 bit) representation of an identification code. Boundaries and chains can be generated from the image. The objects in the image can also be arranged by order of importance.

摘要： A pusher mechanism for attachment to the carriage, saw guard, or other appropriate point of a rotary-blade stone slab saw. Using either signals from a controller of a modern slab saw or self-generated sensor information, the pusher is actuated at a precise time in the cutting process and applied an outward pressure on the severed slab to ensure that the slab is directed away from the saw blade. While a pneumatic cylinder is typically used, either hydraulic, electro-mechanical, or mechanical mechanisms may also be used to accomplish the push-away function.

摘要： The invention is a method for automatically determining the dialing sequence that is required for local, local long distance, ten digit local and long distance, long distance, and international dialing from an initial dialing database that contains no information about local telephone company dialing requirements and requires no or minimal human interaction. The method contains a database for logging call attempts, failures, and successes and an analysis algorithm to determine which dialing sequences are potentially failures and which are potentially successes and which are certain successes. Data from previous dialing attempts and analysis are used to determine dialing sequences for future calls to each area code and exchange. Each area code and exchange pair is quickly optimized without the need for purchasing or maintaining a third party dialing database and without manual definition of dialing sequences.

摘要： A license plate frame that provides great versatility in displaying a user-changeable message on a portion thereof. The design provides a channel adapted to receive individual, planar tiles, each typically bearing indicia. Blank spacer tiles may also be provided but, because of the novel locking mechanism, are unnecessary. Tiles may bear indicia consisting of letters, numerals, punctuation marks, symbols, phrases, or other graphics such as logotypes. Also because of the unique tile locking mechanism, tiles may have varying width and it is unnecessary to pad out an entire row of tiles. This allows, among other things, the use of proportional type fonts. Secure channel end locks keep tiles from being easily removed, thereby preventing theft or vandalism. The combination of tile locking and channel end locks provide a rugged system that may withstand automated car washes and other environmental onslaughts.

摘要： A method of recognizing an object in an image using multi-sensor integration through conditionally optimal geoscene generation and registration is provided. At least two images, one of which is a conditionally optimum, ortho-rectified base image, are input and used to generate a geoscene using at least two ground control points in a latitude-longitude geospatial domain. Georegistration of the geoscene produces a registered geoimage which may be output. A virtual geospatial information system database may be compiled from the georegistered images. A virtual transverse Mercator (VTM) projection is defined which allows processing images falling on both sides of the equator or across traditional UTM boundaries. An Affine transform is used for coordinate transformation in generating geoscenes. The georegistration process utilizes the union and the intersection of image pixels, and geolayering with interacting layers including geogrids and text layers, to define main body and background pixels to facilitate object recognition.

摘要： A golf putter having an alignment aid for aligning the player's head relative to the ball and the putter head. In addition to providing alignment along the usual X and Y axes, the alignment aid of the invention allows precise and repeatable head positioning in the fourth and fifth axes as well. A pair of vertically-aligned pins protrude from a back surface of the putter head, substantially perpendicular to the putting face of the club. The diameter of the upper pin is less than the diameter of the lower pin. In addition, the length of the upper pin may be slightly shorter that the length of the lower pin. Typically, the pins are made in contrasting colors such as black and white. In operation, a golfer sights down at the pins and establishes a uniform border of the lower pin visible around the upper pin.

摘要： A comprehensive vehicle anti-theft and alarm system that immediately notifies a vehicle owner when a vehicle is being tampered with. Notification is accomplished via wireless signal to the owners' cell phone, personal digital assistant (PDA), laptop or desktop computer, or other electronic device, or to the police. The signal can be used to provide an audible, inaudible (e.g., vibratory), or visual alert, depending upon the mode the owner has chosen. In addition, the system transmits a photograph or image of the person tampering with the vehicle. The transmitted image(s) may be periodically refreshed. In alternate embodiments of the system, realtime streaming video may be transmitted. The anti-theft system typically includes a GPS receiver that tracks the movements of the vehicle in the event it is actually stolen. Finally, the system includes a communications link that allows the owner to speak directly to the unauthorized occupant of the vehicle.

摘要： A human-powered, electrical generation system for intermittently receiving mechanical energy from a human and storing that mechanical energy. The stored mechanical energy is used to turn a generator that produces electrical power that is stored in a rechargeable battery. An optional inverter converts the DC power stored in the battery to AC power. A mechanical energy controller is provided to regulates the release of the stored mechanical energy. This allows intermittent energy release so that an intermittent electrical load may be properly supplied over a relatively long period of time without need for repeated energy input from the human. Mechanical energy may be stored in a spring arrangement or in a pressurized hydraulic reservoir. Hand cranks, levers, and pedals in optional combination with a gear box or multi-speed hub may be provided to add energy to the mechanical energy storage apparatus.
