Abstract: A charging system for a vehicle includes a connector suspended on a flexible cable and movable along at least one of a plurality of axes perpendicular to one another and a charging port fixed to the vehicle. The connector is movable into a mated position with the charging port.

Abstract: A charging system for a vehicle includes a connector suspended on a flexible cable and an adapter having a plug at a first end and an adapter port at a second end opposite the first end. The plug is removably disposed in a charging port of the vehicle and the adapter port extends outward from the vehicle. The connector is movable along a plurality of axes perpendicular to one another into a mated position with the adapter port.

Abstract: A print media manufacturing system including a print media conveyor, a plurality of print media processing machines adapted to dispense print media components to the print media being conveyed on the print media conveyor, an automated storage and retrieval machine including a shuttle, and a storage rack that stores reserve supply of print media components used by the plurality of print media processing machines. The storage and retrieval machine is operable to position the shuttle along the storage rack, and the shuttle is operable to enter the storage rack to retrieve the reserve supply of print media components stored therein, and to deliver the retrieved reserve supply to the print media processing machines.

Abstract: A compact, programmable palletizer and method for forming at least one layer of packages on a pallet, comprising a rigid frame, an infeed conveyor positioned adjacent the frame for conveying successive packages into the palletizer, and a rollerbed assembly mounted on the frame and positioned juxtaposed the infeed conveyor for receiving successive packages from the infeed conveyor. The rollerbed assembly is formed on a single horizontal plane and is movable between an advanced position and a retracted position. The palletizer further includes a fixed back stop positioned adjacent the rollerbed assembly and rigidly connected to the frame for preventing the packages conveyed onto the rollerbed assembly from moving beyond a predetermined position thereon, and a sweeper arranged adjacent the rollerbed assembly and the fixed back stop for positioning the package in a predetermined position on the rollerbed assembly by rotating, displacing and squaring the package thereon.

Abstract: An automated storage system for receiving, storing and returning dairy cases stored without pallets. Specifically, the automated storage system comprises an article transporter which includes a shuttle that deposits and retrieves dairy cases stored in storage lanes of a storage rack and a rail system for supporting the shuttle and dairy cases stored thereon. One or more shuttles may be used in the automated storage and retrieval system and are coupled via a shuttle bridge. The rail system includes two or more outer support rails and two or more inner support rails for supporting the shuttle and dairy cases. The rail system also supports normal Grocery Manufacturers Association (GMA) pallets or other special slave pallets. The bottom flange of the rail system has a "drip pan" style to contain leakage from the dairy cases. This "drip pan" design allows personnel to walk inside the storage lanes safely.
