Abstract: Systems, devices, media, and methods are presented for determining a level of abusive network behavior suspicion for groups of entities and for identifying suspicious entity groups. A suspiciousness metric is developed and used to evaluate a multi-view graph across multiple views where entities are associated with nodes of the graph and attributes of the entities are associated with levels of the graph.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method, apparatus, and system of distinguishing a human user and a simulated user. More particularly, the present invention relates to protecting networks against simulated human users via an image recognition arrangement. Aspects and/or embodiments seek to provide a method and system for verifying that a user is human, rather than a computer, in order to protect access to resources such as public facing websites.

Abstract: A messaging system performs engagement analysis based on labels associated with content items produced by users of the messaging system. The messaging system is configured to process content items comprising images to identify elements in the images and determine labels for the images based on conditions indicating when to associate a label of the labels with an image of the images based on the elements in the image. The messaging system is further configured to associate the label with the content item, in response to determining to associate the label with the image, associating the label with the content item. The messaging system is further configured to determine engagement scores for the label based on interactions of users with the content items associated with label and adjust the engagement scores to determine trends in the labels to generate adjusted engagement scores.

Abstract: A processor collecting advertisement (ad) events of a user using a mobile device, such as a mobile phone or eyewear, parsing the ad events from the mobile device, and generating an ad receptivity profile on the granularity of a user identification (ID) and an hour of day. In one example, the processor computes the percentage of ad time watched by the individual user, such as on an hourly basis, and by monitoring a click-through rate (CTR) of the respective user as a measure for user ad receptivity. The processor adjusts an ad allocation/ad load on a per user basis according the user level ad receptivity profile, resulting in dynamically providing ads on the mobile device display when a user is active and receptive viewing the ads.

Abstract: A processor having a performance engine tracking user engagement of advertisement (ad) events using a mobile device, such as a mobile phone or eyewear, to generate a user level ad receptivity profile. In one example, the processor tracks both the percentage of ad time watched by the individual user, such as on an hourly basis, and ad engagement such as by monitoring a click-through rate (CTR) of the respective user as a measure for user ad receptivity. The processor downloads data from the performance engine to a server processor, and the server processor adjusts an ad allocation/ad load on a per user basis according the user level ad receptivity profile. The server processor dynamically provides ads on the mobile device display when a user is active and receptive viewing the ads.

Abstract: A system described herein may provide a mechanism for decoupling user interfaces from backend input processing systems by receiving user input that was provided to a user interface, identifying a label (e.g., a label that was defined as being associated with an interactive element via which the user input was received) associated with the user input, and identifying one or more actions to perform based on the received label.

Abstract: A case with an integrated or attached credential reader; when a user presents a valid credential (such as a biometric identity like a fingerprint, handprint, or face), the case is unlocked and the user can take items from the case. Sensors in the case such as cameras and weight sensors detect items taken by the user; these are automatically charged to the user or added to the user's shopping cart. The credential reader may be on a door handle so that as the user reaches for the handle the credential is automatically captured. The entire shopping experience may be quick and seamless since the user's credential may be captured automatically and the items the user takes may be accounted for automatically. Embodiments may have a door that opens automatically when the credential is accepted and closes and locks automatically when sensors detect that the user has retracted from the case.

Abstract: Methods and devices for harvesting cancellous bone are disclosed. The bone-harvesting device may include a cannula and a bone receptacle in communication with the cannula, wherein the cannula including a cutting surface positioned at or adjacent the distal end, the cutting surface being oriented at an angle, the angle being greater than 90 degrees relative to the longitudinal axis of the cannula, and the harvested bone is adapted to move from a position adjacent to the cutting surface through the cannula into the bone receptacle. The cutting surface of the cannula may be positioned at or adjacent the distal end, and positioned at least in part radially outward of the outer face of the cannula. The cannula may include a cutting surface positioned at or adjacent the distal end and an occluding geometry that partially occludes the distal end of the cannula adjacent the cutting surface. In addition, a suction port may be provided in communication with the bone receptacle.

Abstract: An automated store that calculates a confidence score for virtual shopping carts of shoppers, and selects carts for manual review based on these scores. Carts with low confidence scores may be more likely to contain errors, so prioritizing manual review of these carts is a cost-effective method of improving overall accuracy. A cart confidence score may be a function of factors such as confidence in the trajectory of the shopper generated by the store tracking system, confidence in the events (such as taking an item from a shelf) that affect the cart, and confidence that events are attributed to the correct shopper. Situations that make tracking, item identification, or attribution more complex may reduce confidence levels. For example, attribution confidence may be low when multiple shoppers are near an event, and item confidence may be low if the probabilistic classifier that identifies the item assigns nontrivial probabilities to multiple items.

Abstract: An example computer-implemented method includes receiving, by a processing device, the data records. The data records can be of a plurality of data record types. The method further includes analyzing, by the processing device, the data records by comparing the data records of different record types. The method further includes identifying, by the processing device and based at least in part on the analysis, a unit of work that is flooding the data records as the anomaly.

Abstract: Devices, systems and methods are provided for penetrating through cortical layers of bone to expose cancellous bone. Exemplary bone-cutting devices include a cutting tip configured to penetrate bone; and a holder adapted to be associated with the cutting tip. The cutting tip generally includes (i) a first portion that functions to anchor the cutting tip relative to a bone substrate, and (ii) one or more flutes that function to remove bone fragments from the bone substrate. The bone cutting device also generally defines a stop feature to control the depth of insertion of the cutting tip relative to the bone substrate. Clinical advantages are realized, e.g., in instances where a hole is needed to be made in a bone anatomy.
