Abstract: In one aspect, the present disclosure implements a method that determines whether a submitted image satisfies a geographic constraint which includes defining a rule that establishes a geographic restriction on the submitted image, accessing a geo-code associated with the submitted image, determining whether the geo-code indicates that the submitted image was taken at a location that violates the geographic restriction defined in the rule, and if a determination is made that the submitted image was taken at a location that violates the geographic restriction defined in the rule, eliminating the submitted image from being considered a valid entry in the contest.

Abstract: Disclosed, among other things, is volumetric security, which may provide improved techniques for identifying a subject by receiving inputs from a 3-dimensional (3D), or volumetric, image, a 2-dimensional (2D) image, an audio feed or recording, a biometric scanning system, a password entry system, a location-based technology system such as Global Positioning System (GPS) or interactions between a Bluetooth® beacon and an application on a mobile device, or another data source, comparing the inputs to data stored in one or more databases, assigning weights to the inputs, outputting weighted values, and integrating an algorithm that factors the weighted values to output a subject identifier and a confidence score. The confidence score may define a probability that the identifier correctly identifies a subject.

Abstract: A system and method for predictive readiness and accountability management may provide improved techniques for tracking and predicting a trajectory of an item that may comprise a piece of equipment, an item of inventory, a task for a company project, or a piece of data example. The system may incorporate machine learning to gather data, track trends, or provide alerts, reminders, feedback, or recommendations.

Abstract: A cause-tracking service, which may provide classifications for relationships between entities and individual users in response to a user's description and selection of a plurality of causes and entities. A user may be enabled to select a business or entity which maps to one or more causes that match with at least one cause the individual user wishes to support. Accessing the matching instances may be enabled by a display on a website, application, or mobile application. Causes and entities associated with causes may be displayed, which may allow a user to have tools to personalize their experience with entities.
