(Bud) Selig. “We are proud that our fans have taken an active role in supporting efforts to emphasize safety to and from the ballpark.” For the seventh consecutive season, Major League Baseball (MLB), Techniques for Effective Alcohol Management (TEAM) Coalition, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and brewers have joined together to make more fans aware of the League’s designated-driver programs, including the Budweiser Good Sport partnership with the Giants and the Rangers. The designated driver-programs and the Responsibility Has Its Rewards sweepstakes promote traffic safety by encouraging responsible drinking and positive fan behavior. “Tying the ‘Responsibility Has Its Rewards’ sweepstakes to our season-long Good Sport program makes for a winning combination,” said Kathy Casso, vice president of Corporate Social Responsibility for Anheuser-Busch. “We’re pleased to work with the Giants and the Rangers, TEAM and the other program partners to recognize fans who look out for each other and make a designated driver part of their game plan. When it comes to preventing drunk driving, we’re all part of the team.” As the Giants and Rangers Designated Drivers for the Season, each sweepstakes winners will receive two tickets to a World Series Game, be recognized on the video scoreboards and meet MLB and Club officials

Applied Visual Sciences Receives Patent for Advanced Imaging Technology/Automated Target Recognition

Airlines / By

SOURCE: Applied Visual Sciences HERNDON, VA–(Marketwire – October 25, 2010) –  Applied Visual Sciences ( OTCBB : APVS ) announces the issuance of United States patent 7,817,833, titled “System and Method for Identifying a Feature of Interest in Hyperspectral Data,” by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO). The patent extends APVS’s existing patent protection into the image analysis domain where multiple images or pictures are created and utilized for automated computer analysis and assessment. Image acquisition technologies using multi-frame/multi-spectral image generation are rapidly expanding in areas involving security, medical, and satellite data. Claims made under this patent provide APVS with protective coverage in each of the above mentioned imaging applications.  A key competitive advantage of APVS’s image analysis process is Image Transformation Divergence, with its ability to accurately distinguish between targeted image objects, such as threats or disease states, and other objects that are non-threatening or benign. Typically, many different types of objects in an image have “identically appearing” properties. This is the single-most-important factor responsible for failures in automatic image analysis and detection algorithms. APVS’s Image Transformation Divergence, together with other advanced image analysis processes defined in the patent, dramatically and substantially reduces these “false positive” rates. The patented process is capable of detecting objects of interest with a high degree of confidence; does not rely only on prior knowledge of an object’s shape, volume, texture or density to be effective; and is most powerful where the presence of disease or threat objects must be distinguished from healthy tissue or non-threat objects that are similar in color, brightness, and texture.  “This patent is yet another step in establishing the credibility of our intellectual property portfolio and protecting our proprietary technology platform for future applications development,” states Bill Donovan, APVS’s President and Chief Operating Officer
