Abstract: The invention relates to a method, system and computer program product for identifying an orientation of an image having a plurality of features. It comprises (a) defining a plurality of feature kinds, wherein each feature in the plurality of features corresponds to an associated feature kind in the plurality of feature kinds; (b) providing a feature kind classification order for ordering the plurality of feature kinds; (c) searching the image to identify a feature set in the plurality of features in the image based on the feature kind classification order, wherein the feature set comprises at least one feature and each feature in the feature set corresponds to a defining feature kind; and (d) classifying the feature set to determine the orientation of the image.

Abstract: An air conditioning/cooling system employs an elastic medium such as, for example, a rubber band, instead of the working fluid gases typically used in conventional air conditioners. The system is thus benign and environmentally friendly.
