  • Patent number: 11039022
    Abstract: A device and algorithm for allowing a customer to choose a photo book cover template that is compatible with a photo having faces. The photo is compared with a set of templates arranged in a first order to determine how compatible the photo is to each of the templates, and a score indicative of compatibility is assigned. A re-sorted set of compatible templates combined with the photo is presented to the customer for consideration.

  • Publication number: 20210142422
    Abstract: Disclosed embodiments provide computerized transaction optimization. Embodiments can include compiling a list of transaction scenarios. A list of transaction types is identified based on the transaction scenarios. A list of subjects is identified from the transaction types. A transaction scenario table is then created, where the transaction scenario table includes an entry for transaction type. Multiple transaction type groups are formed, where each transaction type group includes multiple transaction types. A transaction type table is created, where the transaction type table includes the transaction type groups, and corresponding balance types. A list of artifacts is identified for one or more institutions. A mapping of artifacts to transaction types is then performed, where the transaction types are based on the transaction scenarios. In this way, a more comprehensive and improved understanding of products and services based on transaction rules is achieved.

  • Patent number: 10234283
    Abstract: A binoculars rangefinder includes a central shaft, two eyepieces, two objective lenses, two prism modules, an optical transmitter, and an optical receiver. The eyepieces are disposed on two sides of the central shaft, allowing a first light beam reflected by an object to pass therethrough. The objective lenses are disposed on the two sides of the central shaft. The prism modules are disposed between the eyepieces and objective lenses. The optical transmitter is configured to emit a second light beam to the object. The optical receiver is configured to receive the second beam which is reflected by the object.

  • Patent number: 8970824
    Abstract: A rangefinder for measuring a distance of an object includes a case, in which a refractor, a measuring light source, a light receiver, a receiving lens, a reference light source, and a reflector are provided. The measuring light source emits measuring light to the refractor, and the refractor refracts the measuring light to the object. The measuring light reflected by the object emits to the light receiver through the receiving lens. The reference light emits reference light to the reflector, and the reflector reflects the reference light to the light receiver. The refractor and the reflector may be turned for calibration.
