Abstract: A method for verifying user identity and age includes: using a front camera to receive a frontal image of a human face; using a rear camera to receive an image of an identification document, from which a headshot and a date of birth code are extracted; determining whether there is a coincidence or not by comparing the face image and the headshot; determining whether an age value, calculated by comparing the date of birth code and a current date, is greater than or equal to a threshold value; when the face image coincides the headshot and the age value is larger than or equal to the threshold value, the verification is passed and an online transaction proceeds; when the face image is not consistent with the headshot or the age value is smaller than the threshold value, the verification fails and the online transaction is terminated.

Abstract: A control system for an aquarium lighting system in which motor drivers alter over time the relative inclination of a light source with respect to an ornamental feature (18) within the aquarium. The effect is that light intensity (92, 94) falling incident on an ornamental feature more accurately simulates natural light impinging on a natural environment from day and seasonal movements of the sun. In addition to the relative change in inclination, power settings for the light source can be adjusted to further mimic the effects experienced with daily variations of climate and/or weather. The system effectively changes the angle of incidence of light and outwardly facing areas of ornamental features or areas beneath overhangs receive programmable levels of illumination that would otherwise not be possible with an overhead, single fixed-position light source.

Abstract: A curtain suspension rack includes a curtain rod, mounting brackets, and hangers. The curtain rod has decoration heads. Each mounting bracket has a mounting base, a support member, and a suspension section. The mounting bracket receives the curtain rod to suspend thereon. The hangers are fit to the curtain rod. Each hanger includes a carrying section in contact engagement with the curtain rod and forming an embedding cavity that receives and retains a rolling ball therein to allow the rolling ball to freely rotate.
