  • Publication number: 20210174150
    Abstract: A system may include an interface configured to communicate with a network and a processor coupled to the interface. The processor may be configured to determine a reliability value of one or more classifications associated with a product is below a threshold value and provide an alert including product data to a first computing device associated with a human operator. The product data may include one or more of product information, the reliability value, and the one or more classifications. The alert may include one or more controls accessible by the human operator to edit the product data. The processor may receive the product data from the first computing device, store the product data in a data store, and provide data related to the product data to a second computing device that is associated with a second human operator.

  • Patent number: 10898927
    Abstract: In some embodiments, a system may include an item sorter device. The item sorter device may include at least one optical device configured to capture optical data associated with a waste product, a display, and a processor coupled to the at least one optical device and to the display. The processor may be configured to automatically extract universal product code (UPC) data from the optical data, search one or more data sources based on the UPC data to determine a match, determine a bin of a plurality of bins for storage of the waste product based on the match and based on site-specific classification rules, and provide a graphical interface to the display indicating the determined bin.

  • Publication number: 20200134544
    Abstract: In some embodiments, a system may include an sorter device including at least one optical device configured to capture optical data associated with an unsaleable item, a display, and a processor coupled to the at least one optical device and to the display. The processor may be configured to automatically identify the unsaleable item, to provide a graphical interface to the display including selectable options accessible by a user to assign the identified unsaleable item to a selected donation site of a plurality of donation sites. In response to selection of the selected donation site, the processor may be configured to guide an operator through a process of packaging the unsaleable item into a shipping container for transport. The sorter device may track the process to confirm acceptance of the donation and confirmation of receipt of the donation by a receiver at the donation site.

  • Publication number: 20200135315
    Abstract: In some embodiments, a device may include at least one camera, a display device, and a processor coupled to the camera and the display device. The camera may be configured to capture first optical data of a unsaleable pharmaceutical item and second optical data of an operator. The processor may be configured to provide a graphical interface to the display device. The graphical interface may include information to guide the operator through a process of sorting unsaleable pharmaceutical items for disposal, the graphical interface including the first optical data and the second optical data.

  • Publication number: 20180349862
    Abstract: In some embodiments, a method may include providing, from a server system to a computing device through a network, an interface including an image of a structure corresponding to an address and including one or more user-selectable objects. The method may further include receiving, at the server system, data related to pixel positions of a plurality of shape objects arranged to represent an area to be serviced at a location corresponding to the image, and automatically determining, at the server system, real world dimensions represented by the plurality of shape objects based on a correlation between pixel positions and real world position data. The method may further include automatically generating, at the server system, a cost estimate associated with a service to be performed based in part on the received data. Additionally, the method can include sending data related to the cost estimate to the computing device.

  • Publication number: 20170001785
    Abstract: In some embodiments, a thermal container may include a thermal tank, a cold source reservoir, and a tube forming a closed loop in contact with the thermal tank and with the cold source reservoir and configured to secure a thermal fluid. The thermal fluid may have a freeze temperature that is below zero degrees Celsius. The thermal container may further include a pump coupled to the tube and configured to circulate the thermal fluid between the cold source reservoir and the thermal tank when a temperature of the thermal tank exceeds a selected temperature. In some embodiments, the thermal container may further include a heating element coupled to the thermal tank and configured to apply heat to the thermal tank when the temperature falls below the selected temperature by more than a threshold amount.
