Source text - Spanish Reconocimiento facial para mejorar la seguridad de un Casino.
Un sistema de reconocimiento facial basado en cámaras Xxxx refuerza la labor de los fisonomistas para el control de juego del Casino Xxxxx.
Misión
La labor de los fisonomistas es fundamental para el control del juego y, por extensión, para la seguridad de los casinos. Por diferentes motivos y como media cada jornada es preciso identificar a un número de personas que oscila entre 5 y 25. Poder reducir el tiempo que se invierte en identificar a una persona en un casino ha sido una demanda solicitada desde hace años por los departamentos de seguridad y los gestores de estos negocios. Hoy en día esta demanda puede satisfacerse gracias al uso de sistemas de reconocimiento facial basados en análisis de vídeo.
Solución
Tradicionalmente para identificar a una persona concreta dentro un casino se invertía un tiempo considerable mientras los operadores del centro de control revisaban horas de vídeo grabado. Gracias a la asesoría de Xxxxx, Partner de Xxxx y empresa reconocida por su experiencia en el segmento de los casinos, se propuso la incorporación de un sistema de reconocimiento facial de la empresa Xxxx Security que permite reducir el tiempo asociado a esta complicada tarea.
Resultado
En la actualidad el nivel de fiabilidad de los sistemas de reconocimiento facial basados en análisis de video es superior al 95%. Gracias a la implantación de un sistema de este tipo como refuerzo al trabajo de los fisonomistas se ha conseguido reducir a menos de la mitad el tiempo necesario para identificar a una persona dentro de un casino, incluso a última hora y en jornadas de máxima afluencia de público.
“Llevábamos muchos años intentando implantar una solución que nos permitiera reducir el tiempo para identificar a un persona en un casino. Gracias al avance de la tecnología del vídeo IP y al aumento en la fiabilidad de los sistemas de reconocimiento facial basados en análisis de vídeo hoy esta demanda se ha hecho posible.”
Jose Diaz, Director de Seguridad del Grupo Xxxxx.
Los fisonomistas son una pieza fundamental en los casinos. De hecho, hasta hace relativamente poco a nivel legal para abrir un casino en España sólo hacían falta tres figuras: un crupier, un cajero y un fisonomista. Son, entre otras tareas, responsables de supervisar todas las operaciones de juego que se llevan a cabo en un casino. Las operaciones que conllevan juego con dinero real siguen unos procedimientos establecidos en los que están definidos hasta los detalles más pequeños. No ajustarse a estos protocolos de actuación puede representar pérdidas significativas para el establecimiento. Por ejemplo, un simple error al realizar un recuento de fichas o aceptar una apuesta fuera de tiempo que resulta ganadora puede conllevar un serio problema económico.
Según la Ley de Juego de la Comunidad de Madrid para acceder a las salas de juego es necesaria la identificación del cliente mediante exhibición del documento nacional de identidad u otro equivalente. La necesidad de identificación de las personas por parte de los fisonomistas de un casino es básica. Se requiere poder determinar quiénes son las personas cuyo acceso no está autorizado, bien porque hayan decidido solicitar su inscripción en el Registro de Interdicciones de Acceso al Juego o por tener prohibido el acceso a los establecimientos de juego conforme a lo establecido en la normativa en materia de juego. En este entorno, existe también la necesidad de identificar la presencia de los mejores clientes (VIP). La tecnología de reconocimiento facial resulta de gran ayuda en este sentido al permitir crear múltiples listas.
El reconocimiento facial es una de las tecnologías biométricas menos invasivas, dado que la captura de datos la realiza una cámara y en general no precisa interacción con el usuario. La solución de videovigilancia de Xxx, MarcaNota, detecta múltiples caras en tiempo real, facilita la gestión de usuarios en cualquier momento e incluso permite entrenar al sistema mediante captura de vídeo en directo.
Translation - English Facial recognition improves Casino security
A facial recognition system running on Xxxx cameras supports the work of physiognomists to ensure gaming oversight at Casino Xxxxx
Mission
The work of physiognomists is critical to providing proper oversight of casino gaming and, by extension, to overall casino security. On average each day it is necessary to identify somewhere between 5 and 25 individuals for any number of reasons. Reducing turnaround time for personal identification in the casino has been a frequent request of the security personnel and managers of such businesses for a number of years. Today, this demand is able to be met – as a result of the use of facial recognition systems incorporating video analysis.
Solution
Traditionally, to establish concrete identification in a casino took considerable time while control center operators reviewed hours of recorded video. Based on the input of Xxxxx, an Xxxx partner and company known for its experience in the casino industry, a facial recognition system by Xxxx Security was recommended that would allow for a reduction in the time normally required for this complex task.
Results
Currently the reliability rate of facial recognition systems based on video analysis is higher than 95%. As a result of the implementation of a system of this type, used as reinforcement to the work of physiognomists, the amount of time it takes to identify a person within a casino has been reduced to less than half, even on short notice and on days of peak attendance.
“We’ve wanted for many years to implement a solution that would allow us to reduce the time it takes to identify someone in a casino. Thanks to advanced IP video technology augmented with facial recognition systems based on video analysis, this has now become a reality.”
Jose Diaz, Director of Security, Xxxx Group
Physiognomists play a critical role in casinos. In fact, until a relatively short while ago it only required three parties to legally open a casino in Spain: a dealer, a cashier, and a physiognomist. They are, among other tasks, responsible for the oversight of all gaming that takes place in a casino. Operations involving games with real money follow specific procedures defined down to the most minute detail. Non-adherence to these protocols can result in significant losses for the establishment. For example, a simple error in a chip count or accepting a late bet that results in a winner can create a serious economic problem.
According to the Madrid Casino Gaming Regulations, in order to gain entry to gaming parlors one must present identification such as a driver’s license or equivalent. A casino’s need for personal identification by physiognomists is essential. It is necessary to identify those with unauthorized access whether they have decided to put their name on the General Register of Gaming Access Bans or they were banned from gaming establishments pursuant to gaming regulations. There is also the need in this environment to identify the presence of VIP clients. Facial recognition technology has become a huge help in this respect with its ability to create multiple group lists.
Facial recognition is one of the least invasive biometric technologies, as the data capture is performed by camera and in general there is no direct interaction with the subject. Xxxx’s BrandName video surveillance solution detects multiple faces in real time enabling for the management of subjects at any moment, and it even allows for the ability to teach the system using direct video capture.

Source text - English Some people when they were Captured were subjected to dreadful actions of canibalisme where their bodies were cut by machetties and beheaded because according to the Mai mai militias and interhamwe, they believe that by drinking their victim’s blood and tearing their body apart and eat their heart; then they would be turn themselves more vigorous on the battle field by being such evil and without pity and so enruring themselves of the victory. It is penibles to tell about these atrocity because of the memory of lost innocent lives and the few who survived and suffer the loss of their loved ones such as me and others powerless witnesses of those atrocities who still now raise our voices for justice to be done.
From 1994 due to a massive presence of Hutus refugies and Interahamwe Militias who committed genocide against the Tutsis and moderate Hutus in the neighbouring Rwanda and now present in the DR Congo, hate against Congolese Tutsis increased to a point where it became general in the whole country everywhere, and was followed by bloodbath and public lynching where tutsismen were thrown some alive and other dead into rivers or lakes publicly and others into prison accusing them of collaborating with the R.P.F(Rwandese Patriotic Army Which overthrew the Habyirimana Regime in Rwanda).
Translation - English When captured, some people were subjected to dreadful actions of cannibalism; their bodies were cut by machetes and beheaded because the Mai-Mai militias and Interhamwe believe that by drinking their victim’s blood, tearing their body apart and eating their heart they would themselves turn into more vigorous fighters on the battle field. It is also extremely difficult to talk about these atrocities because of the memory of the loss of innocent lives, and of the few who survived and suffer the loss of their loved ones such as myself and of the other powerless witnesses to these atrocities who still now raise their voices for justice to be done.
In 1994, due to a massive presence of Hutus refugees and Interahamwe militias, hate against Congolese Tutsis increased to a point where it became the general attitude everywhere in the country. It was followed by bloodshed and public lynching where Tutsi men were thrown, some alive and others dead, into rivers or lakes. Others were jailed, accused of collaborating with the Rwandan Patriotic Army (RPA) which overthrew the Habyirimana regime in Rwanda.
Near the end of last year, a group of parents in Dover City in the Pennsylvania complained against the school’s board to court for demanding that biology classes not teach evolution as fact. They argued that teaching Intelligent Design (ID) was teaching creationism, which is banned. The school board claimed that they wanted to introduce the idea that Earth's life was too complicated to have evolved on its own. Judge ruled against the schools board that they violated the constitutional ban on teaching religion in public schools.
This event and incidents about this problem, is the sad reminder of middle ages and Dark Ages period. Not only in medieval ages but also in all period of past, we were witnessing that always believe of the public was a obstructive element against development of science. Scientists and intellectuals and some who has new idea, always have problem for expression of them. People resist against the new ideas supposing that this new idea is a “violation” to own belief. May be they have right.
Some how going to presented a new idea must know that may be this idea against believes that people grow up with it which these believes get among of their attachments and their life. Imagine that you grow up with special tenets and your past is fulled with these tenets and still thinking abut them and make your future on the basis of these believe. At this time some body come and say “you were wrong.” “You are wrong and you will be wrong.” And in this manner he/she give all your past and your percent and probably you have no any future.
Modernists must know that you not only make threat people believe but maybe you take aim throughout of people life. For this reason you should be prudential in expression your ideas.
Against, people must consider that there are nothing remain constant. Every thing get change. Even our believes about life. We must have greater flexibility about facts.

Title: Design of a robots observer of an induction motor
Control system is one of the important area these days it offers an important solutions for common problems in control and system areas with in mathematic.
This project is a robust application covers all steps of creating and tampering with symbolic and numeric models to design, Simulink and analyzing control system. In addition to the three main ways of analyzing the current signature for fault detection have been investigated. These are: the power spectral density analysis, the current negative- and positive-sequence components, and the Park’s vector approach.
Three major induction motor faults have been tested by the non-linier model for the above: the bearing fault, the broken rotor bar, and the air gap dynamic eccentricity.
Control system helps us to use clinical solution in order to understand the relationship between design element gains and use numerical solution for plotting and testing the system. It also helps us in dealing with multi-input, multi-output system as well as single-input, single-output system. As well as, the advantage of linearization techniques, taken in the package for non-linier system.
Motors play an important rule in our life e.g. induction motor. AC induction motor is one of the most important machines. Induction motor generates AC voltage of the purest sine wave. They do not use brushes and do not produce any RFI (Radio Frequency Interference). Within every where in the world there are motors that can be operated as generators. These motors called “squirrel cage motors”. The detection of motor faults at their incipient stage is of prime importance to any industrial plant. The introduction of adjustable speed drives has improved the control and the efficiency of induction motors; however, this has changed the nature of motor faults and how they can be detected.
It is often referred as a work horse because of it speed and widely used in industry “%90 of AC motor used in industry” mainly to transform electrical energy into mechanical energy. There for it is rugged, cost effect pricing reliability, size, easy maintenance and easy to be used. The name "induction motor" comes from the alternating current (AC) "induced" into the rotor via the rotating magnetic flux produced in the stator.

Title: Design of a Robust Observer of an Induction Motor
A Motor Control System is one of the most critical areas in engineering these days. It offers an important solution for common problems in control and systems areas within mathematics.
This project is a robust application that covers all steps of creating and tampering with symbolic and numeric models of design, Simulink, and analyzing control systems. In addition, the three main ways of analyzing the current signature for fault detection have been investigated. These are: 1) the power spectral density analysis; 2) the current negative-and-positive sequence components; and 3) the Park’s vector approach.
Three major induction motor faults have been tested by the non-linear model of the above: the bearing fault; the broken rotor bar; and the air gap dynamic eccentricity.
Control systems help us to use a clinical solution in order to understand the relationship between design element gains, by using a numerical solution for plotting and testing the system. They also helps us in dealing with multi-input, multi-output systems as well as with single-input, single-output systems. Additionally, the advantages of linearization techniques benefit non-linear systems.
Motors play an important role in our life. For example, the induction motor: an AC induction motor is one of the most important machines in everyday life. An induction motor generates AC voltage of the purest sine wave. It does not use brushes and does not produce any RFI (Radio Frequency Interference). Everywhere in the world, there are motors that can be operated as generators. These motors are called “squirrel-cage motors”.
The detection of motor faults at their incipient stage is of prime importance to any industrial plant. The introduction of adjustable-speed drives has improved the control and the efficiency of induction motors. However, this has changed the nature of motor faults and how they can be detected.
The AC induction motor is often referred as a “workhorse” because of its speed and widespread use in industry. Ninety percent of industry uses an AC motor, mainly to transform electrical energy into mechanical energy, because it is rugged, cost-effectively priced, reliable, multi-sized, easy to maintain and easy to use. The name "induction motor" comes from the alternating current (AC) "induced" into the rotor via the rotating magnetic flux produced in the stator
