Abstract: Described are systems and methods for detecting objects using calibrated imaging devices and obfuscating, in real-time or near real time, portions of the video data to protect the privacy of operators represented in the video data. For example, a position of an operator within a fulfillment center may be determined or tracked in video data and the pixels representative of that operator may be obfuscated using pixilation and/or other techniques so that a reviewing agent that is viewing the video data cannot determine the identity of the operator. Such obfuscation may be performed in real-time or near real-time using automated processing. In addition, only portions of the video data may be obfuscated so that events (e.g., item picks, item place) and/or other objects represented in the video data are still viewable to the reviewing agent.

Abstract: A stator for a rotating electrical machine is disclosed, the stator comprising a plurality of stator slots (22) each of which accommodates a plurality of coils (40) of stator windings (18). Radial air gaps (46) are present between the coils of adjacent stator slots as the coils extend out of the stator slots. Insulating means (42, 54, 84) are provided between the coils of a stator slot as the coils extend out of the stator slot. The radial air gaps (46) are defined between the insulating means of the coils of adjacent stator slots. This can allow radial air passages to be formed through the windings, while ensuring sufficient electrical insulation between the coils of a stator slot.

Abstract: Disclosed are various embodiments for providing an item purchase experience for users wishing to repeat purchases of items when previously purchased items are out-of-stock or otherwise temporarily unavailable. Alternative items are identified for an item that is determined to be unavailable. A user interface is generated to include a listing of previously purchased items, including an item listing for the unavailable item. The item listing for the unavailable item further includes the alternative items for display and user interaction.

Abstract: Disclosed are various embodiments for providing a continued item purchase experience for users wishing to repeat purchases of items when previously purchased items have been discontinued or are no longer available. A replacement item is identified for an item that is determined to be discontinued. The interaction history of the discontinued item is associated with the replacement item. A user interface is generated to include a listing of previously purchased items, including the replacement items that are arranged in a particular order. The replacement item is arranged in the user interface according to the interaction history of the discontinued item.

Abstract: An axial flux rotating electrical machine is disclosed, which comprises a stator sandwiched between two rotors. The machine comprises retention means for retaining magnets on the rotor, the retention means comprising a back plate with a plurality of protrusions which define a plurality of pockets for accommodating the magnets. The retention means is arranged such that the magnets can be inserted into the pockets and held therein, and the retention means with inserted magnets can be fixed to a rotor so as to retain the magnets axially and tangentially. A cooling jacket for the stator, and techniques for securing the stator to the machine, are also disclosed.
