  • Patent number: 10262296
    Abstract: A method, system, and computer program product are provided to manage inventory. The method includes: obtaining, by a processor, a signal of decodable indicia; decoding, by the processor, the signal of decodable indicia to access decoded data, where the decoded data includes information identifying an object, where the object includes a plurality of items. Based on the information identifying the object, the processor obtains, from a memory, a visual representation of a portion of the object. The visual representation is divided into a plurality of regions and each region represents an item of the plurality of items. The processor displays the visual representation on a client and obtains a designation of at least one of the plurality of regions. Based on obtaining the designation the processor generates an order request for an item represented by the at least one of the plurality of regions.

  • Patent number: 5273344
    Abstract: A process of inerting the coal mine site formed by a coal cutting auger or continuous miner at a coal face to supress methane/coal dust explosion includes introducing an inert gas such as waste gases of combustion or nitrogen, for example, to a site downstream of the coal face in a sufficiently great volume to always replace the volume of coal carried from the coal face by a conveyor. The flow of coal by the conveyor is used to form the impetus to move inert gas from the introduction site to the coal face. The volume of inert gas at the introduction site is maintained sufficient to inhibit ingress of oxygen bearing atmospheric air to the coal face. A leaky seal may be used at the entrance to the coal face at the mining site. The inert gas may be introduced by a conduit arranged part way in the coal seam to form a separate duct extending in the coal seam to the mined cavity or by a duct formed as in integral part of the coal conveyor.
