  • Patent number: 11957259
    Abstract: A cubby unit includes a unit housing, a plurality of cubbies disposed within the unit housing, and an interface positioned along the unit housing. Each of the plurality of cubbies includes a cubby housing defining an internal compartment and a door coupled to the cubby housing. The door facilitates accessing the internal compartment of the cubby housing. The interface provides a cubby selection interface that facilitates manual assignment of a respective cubby to a respective order by an employee.

  • Publication number: 20060084777
    Abstract: A process for preparing a polyisocyanurate polyurethane material comprises reacting a polyisocyanate and an isocyanate-reactive composition, wherein the reaction is conducted at an isocyanate index of 150 to 1500 and in the presence of a trimerisation catalyst, wherein the polyisocyanate consists of a) 80-100% by weight of diphenylmethane diisocyanate comprising at least 40% by weight of 4,4?-diphenylmethane diisocyanate and/or a variant of said diphenylmethane diisocyanate which variant is liquid at 25° C. and has an NCO value of at least 20% by weight, and b) 20-0% by weight of another polyisocyanate, and wherein the isocyanate-reactive composition consists of a) 80-100% by weight of a polyether polyol having an average nominal functionality of 2-6, an average equivalent weight of 150-1000, an average molecular weight of 600-5000, an oxyethylene (EO) content of 75-100% by weight, and b) 20-0% by weight of one or more other isocyanate-reactive compounds excluding water.
