Abstract: A system automatically processes rules for allocation of resources to mitigate damages resulting from a catastrophic event. Overlapping interests of various stakeholders are processed in a deterministic manner to ensure repeatable processing and modeling. In one embodiment the resources are disaster aid items; in another they are obligations regarding insurance.

Abstract: A device may retrieve a ring tone, an image, and a visual effect from a database based on a client line identifier. In addition, the device may generate frequency samples based on the ring tone, may transform the image based on the frequency samples and the visual effect, and may display the transformed image.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an improved method for enlarging or reducing scale of a displayed digital content within a display, said display having a touch sensitive portion reactive to a pointing means, the method including identifying a time specific touch on a point with said pointing means. It is determined that the identified time specific touch corresponds to an enlarging operation or a reducing operation of said displayed portion of said digital content within said display screen. The enlarging operation or the reducing operation are performed.

Abstract: An image acquisition device includes an image sensing unit for registering raw image data and a movement sensing unit for determining information indicative of the current position of the image sensing unit and of a deviation of the current position of the image sensing unit from a reference position. The image sensing unit also includes a processing unit for receiving the information indicative of the current position of the image sensing unit and of its deviation from a reference position from the movement sensing unit. The processing unit is adapted for moving image data received from the image sensing unit to the current position by the amount of deviation from its reference position determined by the movement sensing unit and for performing object recognition on the thus moved image data.
