Abstract: A system and related methods for identifying characteristics of handbags is described. One method includes receiving one or more images of a handbag, eliminating all but select images from the one or more images of the handbag to obtain a grouping of one or more select images, the select images being those embodying a complete periphery and frontal view of the handbag. For each of the one or more select images, aligning feature-corresponding pixels with an image axis, comparing at least a portion of the one or more select images with a plurality of stored images, and determining characteristics of the handbag based on said comparing.

Abstract: An intermittent catheter package including a plurality of components and a catheterization tray configured to facilitate a catheterization procedure. The plurality of components include a urinary catheter fluidly connected to a urine-drainage bag and a sampling-port access device configured to fluidly connect to a urine-sampling port of the urinary catheter or the urine-drainage bag for aseptic collection of one or more urine samples. The catheterization tray includes at least a first compartment, a second compartment, and a third compartment configured to hold the plurality of components. The first compartment is configured to hold the urinary catheter. The second compartment is connected to the first compartment by an intercompartment connection. The second compartment is configured to hold the urine-drainage bag. The third compartment is configured to hold the sampling-port access device. Step-by-step instructions are incorporated into the catheterization tray to facilitate the catheterization procedure.

Abstract: Systems and methods for authenticating handbags using a portable electronic device along with a bilinear convolutional neural network (CNN) model are described. One method includes using a portable electronic device comprising a camera, and a lens-accessory attached to the portable electronic device such that an optical feature of the lens-accessory is positioned in front of the camera. The portable electronic device acquires one or more pictures of a handbag and sends the one or more pictures to a bilinear CNN model via a network asset where an authenticity is determined. The systems and methods disclosed are capable of allowing the portable electronic device to be spaced apart from the handbag while acquiring pictures, and the lens-accessory can be between 10× and 50× magnification.

Abstract: A product pricing system receives product data associated with a candidate product. The product data includes a product designation and a first product attribute. The first product attribute is one of a plurality of different product attributes associated with a product attribute type. The product pricing system retrieves historical product data associated with a first plurality of previously sold products having the first product attribute from a historical product database. The historical product data includes a product price associated with each of the first plurality of previously sold products. The product pricing system generates a historical product data set including the first plurality of previously sold products, generates a candidate product price based on an average of the product prices associated with the first plurality of previously sold products in the historical product data set, and assigns the candidate product price to the candidate product.

Abstract: A recognition quality management system and method is used to determine a final group quality grade (FGQG) for a database containing data structures pertaining to objects, where the FGQG is a single numeric score indicative of the quality of the recognition that has occurred within the database. The FGQG is calculated using a weighted algorithm incorporating at least three components: a string quality score (SQS) that is determined by a string distance calculation; an input quality score (IQS) that is determined from address confidence codes; and a link quality score (LQS) that evaluates a key field to determine grouping quality. The system and method allows for the determination of recognition quality across an entire database rather than using sampling and extrapolation, and thus leads to a higher quality result, and because the system and method is objective it allows comparison of recognition quality across competing recognition quality solutions.
