Abstract: A warehouse automation system adapted to improve warehouse operating productivity includes a plurality of carts for transporting products within a warehouse and a controller. The controller is adapted to associate a first one of the plurality of carts with a first person and to control the first cart to lead the first person around the warehouse. According to one advantage, the time the first person spends restocking, picking, counting, sorting, moving, and packing product into customer orders and shipments, for example, is reduced.

Abstract: Systems, devices and methods are directed toward preserving an interface displayed at a communication device, and then transmitting the preserved image to a recipient. An interface is initially displayed to a user, at a communication device, illustrating various information to the user. When desired to share the information with the recipient, the user provides a capture command to the communication device for all or part of the information in the interface. In response, the communication device captures an image of the interface relating to the capture command. The user can then transmit the captured image to the recipient, without storing the image in nonvolatile memory of the communication device.

Abstract: A removable circuit interrupter with circuit-testing capabilities. In one embodiment, a removable circuit interrupter is provided for use with a battery-powered device. The battery-powered device includes a battery and a load that is electrically coupled to the battery. The removable circuit interrupter is configured to be disposed between the battery and the load. The removable circuit interrupter includes a first outer surface having a conductive layer. The removable circuit interrupter further includes a second outer surface having an non-conductive layer. The conductive layer is configured to electrically couple to one of the battery and the load. The non-conductive layer is configured to electrically couple to another one of the battery and the load.

Abstract: A system for recording writing performed on a surface includes a rechargeable stylus, a rechargeable eraser, and a charging station for one or both of the rechargeable stylus and the rechargeable eraser. Each of the rechargeable stylus and the rechargeable eraser includes a pair of charging rings. The charging rings are disposed so as to contact a corresponding pair of charging contacts on a receptacle on the charging station for the stylus or the eraser. The receptacle, charging contacts, and charging rings cooperate to charge rechargeable stylus or the rechargeable eraser when the stylus or eraser is placed into the receptacle.

Abstract: An exercise apparatus may include a swivel and one or more elongated members, such as ropes or cords, suspended from the swivel with a support, such as a bar, for the user suspended between either ends of a single elongated member, or between two elongated members. The height of the support can be adjusted by placing ends of the support bar in loops formed along the elongated member. Hand holds and foot holds may also be mounted on the loops. In addition, the support may be prevented from rotating along its longitudinal axis.
