That's easy (unless some rules have been broken).

Google 'usb device id list' and ask your operating system what device id
it sees.

That is a bit harder, needs human eyes. Can you post a picture on
somewhere like photobucket?

Search engines do not analyse pictures. You do need to up load pictures and have experts analyse,
like a forum for silver plated brass widgets. You show them where to find pictures.

By the way, Yahoo still favors using Flicker for their image library, but
have greatly improved their image library. I have also noticed they are better
than Google at indexing many websites, and like always, you have to use different
search engines to find the info you are looking for.

**Would something like this work?

Though I think you'd have to load the picture somewhere first like
flickr or something.

I imagine that is for copyright infringement tracing, kept returning 0
results whatever I uploaded to it or directed it to
