Abstract
A system for recognizing objects is comprised of: 1) a camera that has a lens which is uncovered; 2) a housing which encloses the camera, and has a window for the lens; 3) a rotating means, which is inside of the housing and which carries the camera, for receiving electronic control signals and rotating the camera at different angles in response thereto; and, 4) a control means for generating the electronic control signals such that the rotating means selectively points the camera lens -a) through the window at any one of several predetermined angles, and b) inside of the housing at the surface for calibrating the camera. With this system, the objects that are recognized can be human faces at different heights relative to the window in the housing. By pointing the camera lens inside of the housing, the lens is protected from damage even though it is not covered; and a calibration surface inside of the housing enables the camera to be calibrated while the lens is protected.

Important Notes on Latency of Status data
Please note there is up to 60 days of latency in this Status indicator for certain status conditions. You can obtain up-to-date Status indicator readings by ordering PAIR for the file.
An application with the status "Published" (which means it is pending) may be recently abandoned, but not yet updated to reflect its abandoned status. However, an application filed less than one year ago is unlikely to be abandoned.
A patent with the status "Granted" may be recently expired, but not yet updated to reflect its expired status. However, it is highly unlikely a patent less than 3.5 years old would be expired.
An application with the status "Abandoned" is almost always current, but there is a small chance it was recently revived and the status not yet updated.
Important Note on Priority Date data
This priority date is an estimated earliest priority date and is purely an estimation. This date should not be taken as legal conclusion. No representations are made as to the accuracy of the date listed. Please consult a legal professional before relying on this date.
