Abstract: Exemplary sanitary soap refilling systems and methods are disclosed herein. An exemplary refill refilling system includes a housing, a pump located within the housing, and a bulk storage tank connector. The bulk storage tank connector having a liquid outlet and an air inlet. A liquid inlet conduit is in fluid communication with the pump the liquid outlet. A refill connector is included. The refill connector has a liquid inlet and an air outlet. The refill connector air outlet and the bulk storage tank connector air inlet are in fluid communication with one another. The refill liquid inlet is in fluid communication with the pump.

Abstract: In one example, a system can receive an order from a client device. The system can also receive data about a set of print queues at a set of printers via a network. The system can then determine a set of queue times corresponding to the set of print queues. Each respective queue time can be determined based on a corresponding print queue. The system can generate an estimated wait time for the order based on the set of queue times. The system can then transmit the estimated wait time to the client device for display in a graphical user interface to a user associated with the order.

Abstract: A sterilization system is configured to emit energy, such as UV radiation, for sterilizing a surface, such as a door handle, faucet handle, elevator button, or other target surfaces known in the art. The sterilization system is configured to operate automatically in response to detection of a user's hand interfacing with the handle. After a user releases a handle, the sterilization system is actuated to sanitize the handle for subsequent users.

Abstract: A sterilization system is configured to emit optical energy, e.g., light, for sterilizing a surface, such as a door handle, faucet handle, elevator button, or other target surfaces known in the art. The sterilization system is configured to operate automatically in response to detection of a user's hand interfacing with the handle. In other words, after a user releases a handle, the sterilization system is actuated to sanitize the handle for subsequent users.

Abstract: A modular system and method are disclosed. The system comprises a first unit, a second unit, and a connector for coupling the first unit and the second unit. The first unit has a first upper projection and a first lower projection, and the second unit has a second upper projection and a second lower projection. The connector comprises upper lower tracks. Both the upper and lower tracks have a slot and an engagement guide configured to receive and to guide the projections into a sliding engagement with the slots. The first unit is coupled to the second unit by positioning the first unit proximate the second unit so that the upper and lower projections are proximate each other; aligning the engagement guides and the slots with the projections; and moving the connector so that the engagement guides guide the projections into engagement with the tracks and slide into the slots.

Abstract: A disposable shopping cart sheath and method of using the same. The sheath comprises a sheet of plastic material, such as polyethylene, which is manually wrapped radially about the handle of a conventional shopping cart. According to a first preferred embodiment, the sheath is formed to have a generally triangular shape with an elongate slit formed in generally parallel relation along a respective side thereof, and opposite a respective corner or point of the triangular member. Such corner or point of the triangular member is insertable through the slit to thus enable the sheath to radially wrap about the handle member. In a second alternative embodiment, the sheath comprises a generally rectangular sheet of plastic material that is designed to cling to the handle as well as itself to thus stay wrapped about the handle during use. Following use, the sheaths are simply disposed of and may be recycled.

Abstract: A mooring/support system for anchoring marine structure comprises a plurality of anchor elements equiangularly spaced and connected to the sea bed at one end by means of anchors. The other ends of the anchor elements are connected to a common bridle element. Eight anchor elements may be used giving the system a octagonal configuration. Each anchor element comprises a buoyant portion and a non-buoyant portion, the buoyant portion being such that a mooring point positioned below the surface of the water to provide an essentially horizontal restraint to the moored or supported object and to allow ships to pass over the system without contact therewith. The system is such that it can be pre-installed before arrival of the marine structure. The buoyancy of the chambers may be varied so as to regulate the preload of the system.

Abstract: Apparatus for inhibiting sway and for applying the brakes of a trailer includes a sway sensor connected to a frequency-discriminating circuit which senses lateral oscillatory motion of the trailer and which generates separate right and left acceleration signals in response to right and left acceleration, respectively, of the trailer. A circuit produces a sway-inhibiting signal in response to both of said right and left acceleration signals which successively occur in a time shorter than a predetermined period of time. A braking-signal circuit produces a brake control signal in response to the sway-inhibiting signal, this brake control signal being utilized for applying the trailer brakes momentarily to correct for a sway condition.

Abstract: In a preferred embodiment, a back-pack frame having a tent attached when mounted on the frame, in a manner whereby the tent substantially encloses several containers for clothes, food, and the like, and opposing flaps mounted on opposite upright frame supports extend laterally around the folded tent such as to substantially circumscribe the back-pack tent and when the opposing flaps are attached together at their leading edges, they are attachable in a manner which compresses and firms-up the back-pack, tent, and the enclosed containers, the individual flap carrying a plurality of accessory-attaching pockets each respectively customshaped to fit a particular accessory for which it is intended, and the back-pack frame serving as a support for one end of the tent in an erected state as well as the frame including other support elements transportable as a part of or as contained within the back-pack frame for supporting the erected tent at other positions such as an opposite tent end, the novel combination also
