Abstract: Certain exemplary embodiments can provide a system, which comprises a hanger. The hanger comprises a hook and a bar. The hook is constructed to suspend the hanger from a rod. The bar is coupled to the hook. An end of the bar defines a chevron shape. The bar defines a slot. The slot comprises a seam aperture. The seam aperture is positioned and sized to engage with a plurality of leg seams of a pair of pants to restrain motion of a pair of pants engaged with the hanger.

Abstract: A pallet labeler station for applying a printed label to a loaded pallet at a predetermined label position includes a label printer for printing a label to be affixed to the loaded pallet, a rotatable label applicator mechanism for applying the printed label to the loaded pallet at the predetermined label position and a drive mechanism for moving the label applicator mechanism so as to apply the printed label to the loaded pallet at the predetermined label position. The label applicator mechanism is capable of applying printed labels to two sides of a loaded pallet with each label being applied at a predetermined label position defined for each of the two sides of the loaded pallet.

Abstract: A method for automatically managing an address of a remote access device (RAD) is disclosed. The method comprises defining the RAD at a service provider, the RAD being located physically remote from the service provider, and assigning a network address to the RAD. The service provider sends a query from a service provider element (SPE) to the RAD requesting the network address.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for stacking first and second loaded pallets includes a pallet stacker that defines a stationary stacking location. A first loaded pallet is conveyed to the stationary stacking location. A pair of pallet lift carriages are vertically adjustable at the stationary stacking location to selectively engage the first loaded pallet and raise it to a temporary holding position. A second loaded pallet is conveyed into vertical registration with the first loaded pallet. The first loaded pallet is then vertically adjusted into stable stacked relation with the second loaded pallet, and the pallet lift carriages disengage the first loaded pallet. The first and second loaded pallets, in stable stacked relation to each other, thereafter are discharged from the stationary stacking location.

Abstract: The invention provides apparatus and methods for applying force to an object or workpiece. The invention has a first stationary magnet and second moveable magnet within a housing member. The magnets are arranged such that the magnets repel one another with a force related to the spacing between the magnets. The housing member is coupled to a modifying member, e.g., a motorized grinder or sharpener, with the object or workpiece disposed between the second magnet and the modifying member such that the second magnet forces the object or workpiece against the modifying element. The magnets can be electromagnets. In a preferred aspect, the object is a rotary razor head commonly used in electric razors and the invention sharpens the rotary razor head. In this aspect, the modifying member is a rotating grinding disc and anti-rotation elements prevent the razor head and magnets from rotating with the grinding element. The razor head is forced into the grinding element by the magnetic force formed by the two magnets.
