Abstract: A method for detecting an object in a housing, includes: determining a first scene inside the housing using a time of flight sensor, wherein the housing is empty during determination of the first scene; determining, by a processor, a second scene inside the housing using the time of flight sensor; comparing, by the processor, the first scene with the second scene; and determining, by the processor, a presence or an absence of the object in the housing based on a result of comparing the first scene with the second scene.

Abstract: Disclosed is a method comprising updating a first model describing a pool of computer and network resources and a second multi-level hierarchical model describing an entity, each level having at least one element containing one or more users of the entity and associated with an algorithm for allocating at least a portion of the pool, the union of the elements at any level containing all of the users, such that the first and second models represent a current state of the pool of resources and a current state of the entity. Upon request from a user to access a resource specified in the request, resources may be identified by applying the algorithms of the second model to the current state of the pool represented by the first model, verifying compatibility between the identified resources and the resource specified in the request, and rejecting the request in the event of incompatibility.
