Abstract: An automatic forensic facial comparison system, FFC, having a questioned image (I1) and a reference image (I2), captured by means of acquisition of images of a subject, comprising processing means configured to carry out FFC steps: at least one morphological analysis stage (11), mandatory, and optionally a holistic comparison stage (12), and/or an image overlay stage (13), and/or a photo-anthropometry stage (14), and/or a decision-making stage (15). For each stage (11, 12, 13, 14) corresponding to FFC methods, the processing means calculate an overall indicator value of the stage carried out. In the last decision-making stage (15), the processing means calculate a fuzzy value by applying soft computing, obtained as a sum of the overall indicator value of each stage previously carried out (11, 12, 13, 14), each value being weighted by a weight based on a set of data to support the decision-making stage (15) indicative of a degree of reliability of each stage and of the quality of the starting images (I1, I2).

Abstract: In the method, a plurality of access points forming a cluster in a telecommunication network monitor network data traffic information from at least one user computing device connected thereto; report an own identifier and a used public IP to a remote server recording them; establish connections between access points in said cluster by mapping the own identifier with said public IP; determine its internal status and state of the connection of said at least one monitored user computing device; generate, each certain time-frequency, a profile; calculate, in a determined time T1, a forecast of future requirements of the own access point and send to one access point of said plurality acting as a cluster coordinator said calculated forecast, wherein said coordinator defines a routing path through carrying out associations of access points to which perform the backhaul aggregation.

Abstract: In the method, a plurality of access points forming a cluster in a telecommunication network monitors network data traffic information from at least one user computing device connected thereto; obtains a status profile; reports an own identifier to a remote server; builds, by using a record including the corresponding identifier of each access point, a list of access points available for performing backhaul aggregation; and establishes connections between available access points forming sub-clusters of access points. Wherein, one of the access points acts as a cluster coordinator coordinating said formed sub-clusters of access points for a backhaul aggregation. The device is adapted to implement the method.

Abstract: A method for providing wireless data connectivity between user computing devices in a given area and computing device The method comprising: receiving, by a remote server, a message from each one of a plurality of user computing devices included in a given area, said message including information regarding each user computing device, sending, the remote server, based on said received message a response to each one of the plurality of user computing devices; adopting, by each user computing device, a specific state of operation comprising acting as an access point sharing its wireless data connectivity with another user computing device or alternatively acting as a client of another user computing device by means of using the wireless data connectivity provided by the latter; notifying, each user computing device, said adopted specific state of operation to the remote server; and providing said wireless data connectivity by one sharer computing device to a client computing device.

Abstract: A method for access points scheduling for backhaul aggregation in a telecommunications network and a device In the method, a plurality of access points forming a cluster in a telecommunication network monitor network data traffic information from at least one user computing device connected thereto; report an own identifier and a used public IP to a remote server recording them; establish connections between access points in said cluster by mapping the own identifier with said public IP; determine its internal status and state of the connection of said at least one monitored user computing device; generate, each certain time-frequency, a profile; calculate, in a determined time T1, a forecast of future requirements of the own access point and send to one access point of said plurality acting as a cluster coordinator said calculated forecast, wherein said coordinator defines a routing path through carrying out associations of access points to which perform the backhaul aggregation.

Abstract: In the method an Access Point comprises aggregating spare bandwidth of at least another Access Point and capturing data traffic from at least one user computing device, said user computing device taking benefit of said aggregated spare bandwidth. The method: requesting, by said Access Point admission to a MPTcp server including proxy control functions or services, to make use of the latter; checking, by a control module of said MPTcp server, credentials information of said Access Point to allow the latter said admission; and upon said admission being authorized, checking, by said MPTcp server through a connection with a service subscription repository module, if at least one origin server is authorized for accessing said proxy control functions or services. The system is adapted to implement the method.

Abstract: Domoic acid is selectively bound by an adsorbent which comprises units derived from one or more halogenated carboxylic acids (preferably having an ?-trihalomethyl group) or derivatives thereof. The adsorbent may be a polymer, or a solid support onto which the carboxylic acid, derivative or polymer has been grafted. The preferenced acid is 2-trifluoromethyl acrylic acid. Domoic acid can be selectively bound from a mixture (e.g. seafood extract, seawater or urine) in the presence of potential interferents such as aminoacids, and recovered using an eluant comprising an organic acid.

Abstract: Casino clients can wager on a new table wagering game designed expressly for casinos. At least two card hands are dealt, either live using a dealer, or an electronic dealer, using a computer. The first hand to a player position and the second hand is to a banker position. The player can select which hand he to wager on. At the end of play, the hands are evaluated and if the player wagered on the best poker hand, whichever hand that might have been, he wins the game. The house makes a profit from non-qualifying hands, and from failed side-bets.
