Abstract: Systems and methods of verifying pairings of price tag labels and products at a product storage facility include an image capture device that moves about and captures images of product storage structures at the product storage facility, and a database that stores inventory data associated with the products stocked at the product storage facility. A computing device processes the images to extract one or more characters from the price tag labels and products detected in the images, correlates the extracted characters to the inventory data to identify a product code and a product name that matches the characters extracted from the price tag labels and the products. If the characters extracted from the price tag and from the on-shelf product to which the price tag label is allocated match, the database is updated to reflect that the price tag label is properly allocated to the appropriate on-shelf product.

Abstract: Systems and methods of monitoring inventory of a product storage facility include an image capture device configured to move about the product storage areas of the product storage facility and capture images of the product storage areas from various angles. A computing device coupled to the image capture device obtains the images of the product storage areas captured by the image capture device and processes the obtained images of the product storage areas to detect individual products captured in the obtained images. Based on detection of the individual products captured in the images, the computing device analyzes each of the obtained images to detect one or more adjacent product storage structures (shelves, pallets, etc.) and identifies and selects a single image that fully shows a product storage structure of interest and fully shows each of the products stored on the product storage structure of interest.

Abstract: Pre-ground plastics of small particle size not more than 2 mm are co-fed into a solid fossil fuel fed entrained flow partial oxidation gasifier. High solids concentrations in the feedstock stream can be obtained without significant impact on the feedstock stream stability and pumpability. A consistent quality of syngas can be continuously produced, including generation of carbon dioxide and a carbon monoxide/hydrogen ratio while stably operating the gasifier and avoiding the high tar generation of fluidized bed or fixed bed waste gasifiers and without impacting the operations of the gasifier. The subsequent syngas produced from this material can be used to produce a wide range of chemicals.

High solids concentrations in the feedstock composition can be obtained without significant impact on the feedstock composition stability and pumpability. A consistent quality of densified textile derived syngas can be continuously produced, including generation of carbon dioxide and a carbon monoxide/hydrogen ratio while stably operating the gasifier and avoiding the high tar generation of fluidized bed or fixed bed waste gasifiers and without impacting the operations of the gasifier. The densified textile derived syngas quality, composition, and throughput are suitable for produce a wide range of chemicals and polymers, including methanol, acetic acid, methyl acetate, acetic anhydride, and cellulose esters through a variety of reaction schemes in which at least a portion of the chemical or polymer originates with densified textile derived syngas.

Abstract: A composition having a recycle content value is obtained by reacting a recycle content feedstock to make a recycle content alpha olefin or by deducting from a recycle inventory a recycle content value applied to an alpha olefin composition. At least a portion of the recycle content value in the feedstock or in an allotment obtained by an alpha olefin manufacturer has its origin in recycled waste and/or pyrolysis of recycled waste and/or in thermal steam cracking of recycle content pyoil.

Abstract: Described herein are examples of evaluating electromagnetic energy reflection data of security scans. In embodiments, a method to evaluate electromagnetic energy reflection data determines whether electronic information of a security scan contains an anomaly, and identifies an anomaly location in the electronic information corresponding to the anomaly. The method determines a subset of the electronic information corresponding to the anomaly location, determines anomaly attributes using the subset of the electronic information, and evaluates the anomaly attributes using a database of reference items by comparing anomaly attributes to respective reference characteristics of reference items or identity information. When a comparison meets the respective match criterion for the given reference item, the method assigns to the anomaly the respective identifier as an anomaly identifier.

The cat litter comprising a solid particulate material coated with a cellulosic solution containing at least one fluorescent material.

Abstract: This disclosure relates to motorized hinge-lift system designed for integration and use with physical vapor deposition (PVD) chambers, enabling efficient and precise control of the chamber's lid assembly. PVD technology plays a critical role in thin film deposition processes for various industries, including semiconductor manufacturing, optical coatings, and advanced materials research. The proposed motorized hinge-lift systems contemplated and discussed herein significantly enhances the functionality and performance of PVD chambers by addressing key challenges associated with their operation. Among other related benefits, embodiments of such motorized hinge-lift system may provide for simple retrofitting of existent PVD chambers, and may allow seamless and reliable lid lifting and lid lowering operations, thereby minimizing the risk of operator injury or damage to sensitive substrates within the chamber or to the PVD chamber itself.
