  • Publication number: 20240137651
    Abstract: An electronic device includes a housing, a camera system, one or more display devices, and one or more processors. The one or more display devices are coupled to the housing and configurable in multiple different orientations relative to the housing. The one or more processors determine a current orientation of the one or more display devices relative to the housing, and determine an effective field of view (FOV) of a surrounding environment based on the current orientation of the one or more display devices. The one or more processors perform image analysis on a set of image data generated by the camera system. The set of image data is limited to the effective FOV.

  • Patent number: 10642975
    Abstract: Systems and methods for detecting deceptive opinion spam. Certain embodiments include a classifier with improved accuracy for detecting deceptive opinion entries. A feature analysis of learned models reveals a relationship between deceptive opinions and imaginative writing. By modeling deception in a generative framework, the prevalence of deception in two popular online review communities may be determined. Deceptive opinion spam is a rapidly growing and widespread problem, especially in review communities with minimal posting requirements.

  • Publication number: 20050267384
    Abstract: An adapter for collecting a blood sample is disclosed that includes a stopper and a housing. The stopper is formed of a material that is piercable by a needle and sealable upon withdrawal of the needle. The housing, which has a first end and an opposite second end, defines an aperture extending through the housing from the first end to the second end. The stopper is located in the aperture and adjacent the first end. In addition, the second end has a configuration that is joinable with a syringe. The adapter may be a part of a kit that includes a needle device, a holder, and a syringe, for example. A method of collecting a first blood sample and a second blood sample is also disclosed.
