  • Patent number: 11978207
    Abstract: Oral care based imaging computer-implemented systems and methods for determining perceived attractiveness of a facial image portion of at least one person depicted in a digital image. The method has the following steps: a) obtaining a digital image comprising at least one oral feature of at least one person, wherein the digital image includes a facial image portion of the at least one person, the facial image portion having both positive and negative attributes as defined by pixel data of the digital image; b) analyzing the facial image portion; c) generating an Attractiveness Score indicative of a perceived attractiveness of the facial image portion based on the analyzed facial image portion in the obtained digital image; d) further generating an image description that identifies at least one area in said facial image portion based on the Attractiveness Score; and e) presenting the image description to a use.

  • Publication number: 20240104738
    Abstract: Oral care based imaging computer-implemented systems and methods for analyzing attributes of a facial image portion of at least one person depicted in a digital image. An oral care digital imaging computer-implemented method for analyzing a facial image portion of a person depicted in a digital image may include analyzing the facial image portion for positive and negative attributes as defined by pixel data of the digital image and generating a probability value based on the positive and negative attributes in the facial image portion in the digital image.

  • Patent number: 11478069
    Abstract: A hairbrush cleaner including a motor compartment, a cleaning compartment receptacle, a cleaning compartment, a motor, and a first cleaning brush. The cleaning compartment receptacle may be secured to a lower portion of the motor compartment. The cleaning compartment may have a lower portion carried by the cleaning compartment receptacle. The motor may have an axle carried within the motor compartment. The first cleaning brush may be suspended within the cleaning compartment receptacle and connected to the motor whereby rotation of the axle of the motor causes rotation of the first cleaning brush.

  • Patent number: 11093925
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for use in imposing chargeback probability scores on network transactions. One exemplary method includes obtaining at least one transaction detail of a network transaction between a consumer and a merchant. A computing device determines a chargeback probability score for the network transaction based, at least in part, on the at least one transaction detail. Chargeback data is transmitted to an entity associated with the network transaction, where the chargeback data includes at least one of (a) the chargeback probability score and (b) an indicator that the chargeback probability score fails to satisfy one or more thresholds, thereby permitting the entity to hold and/or decline the network transaction when the chargeback probability score fails to satisfy one or more thresholds.

  • Publication number: 20190108520
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for facilitating payment, at a courier terminal of a courier, on delivery of products offered by multiple different merchants. One exemplary method includes receiving, by a computing device, an order record from a merchant identifying a product ordered by a consumer and including a merchant ID for the merchant. The computing device then retrieves, from a data structure, a payment gateway address associated with the merchant ID and modifies the order record to include the payment gateway address. The payment gateway address is for a payment gateway associated with the merchant. The computing device then transmits the modified order record to the courier, thereby permitting the payment gateway address to be imposed on the courier terminal such that a payment account transaction initiated at the courier terminal for payment on delivery of the product is directed to an account specific to the merchant.

  • Patent number: 7343321
    Abstract: In a method an owner of copyright in a copyright work uses computer equipment to transmit digital signal containing information regarding the copyright work to physically remote computer equipment of a licensing administrator. The licensing administrator uses the computer equipment thereof to receive the digital signal and to store the information contained in the digital signal in an electronic database. An applicant for a license to copy the copyright work uses computer equipment of the license applicant to transmit to the physically remote computer equipment of the licensing administrator request for a license. The licensing administrator uses the computer equipment thereof to receive the request, to process the request in conjunction with the digitally stored information regarding the copyright work in order to generate a license to copy the copyright work and to send a digital signal to the license applicant to confirm granting of the license.
