    摘要: System, method and computer program product for estimating the cost of a product and/or service. The product and/or service comprises a multiplicity of components. One or more first components with no cost dependencies are determined and assigned to a first tier. One or more second components whose costs depend on the costs of the one or more first components are determined and assigned to a second tier. One or more third components whose costs depend on the one or more second components are determined and assigned to a third tier. A determination is made if any of the one or more third components were assigned to said second tier, and if so, such one or more third components are removed from the second tier. One or more fourth components whose costs depend on the one or more third components are determined and assigned to a fourth tier. A determination is made if any of the one or more fourth components were assigned to the third tier, and if so, such one or more fourth components are removed from the third tier. A determination is made if one or more of the fourth components were assigned to said second tier, and if so, such one or more fourth components are removed from the second tier. An order to calculate costs of the components is based on the tier to which they are assigned, the lower the tier the earlier in the order.

    摘要: The present invention is directed to novel optical sensors and novel methods for sensing optical radiation. The novel optical sensors and the novel optical sensing methods are used, for example, for controlling the operation of automatic faucets and flushers. The novel sensors and flow controllers (including control electronics and valves) require only small amounts of electrical power for sensing users of bathroom facilities, and thus enable battery operation for many years. A passive optical sensor includes a light detector sensitive to ambient (room) light for controlling the operation of automatic faucets or automatic bathroom flushers.

    摘要: The present invention provides a method of processing an image, characterized by comprising steps of: identifying a face region in said image; identifying a candidate for rod eye region within said face region; selecting a geometric figure which at least partly covers said candidate for red eye region and has the same orientation with said face region; calculating at least one characteristic value for said geometric figure; classifying said candidate for red eye region based on said at least one characteristic value. Red eyes are detected only in a face image and based on shape. Both speed and accuracy are increased in detection.

    摘要: A method, computer readable medium and system are provided which retrieve confirming sentences from a sentence database in response to a query. A search engine retrieves confirming sentences from the sentence database in response to the query. IN retrieving the confirming sentences, the search engine defines indexing units based upon the query, with the indexing units including both lemma from the query and extended indexing units associated with the query. The search engine then retrieves a plurality of sentences from the sentence database using the defined indexing units as search parameters. A similarity between each of the plurality of retrieved sentences and the query is determined by the search engine, wherein each similarity is determined as a function of a linguistic weight of a term in the query. The search engine then ranks the plurality of retrieved sentences based upon the determined similarities.
