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.

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.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and devices provide source-to-destination tracking of hazardous waste products. The systems, methods, and devices operate in conjunction with printed Uniform Hazardous Waste Manifest (UHWM) forms by printing the forms and then allowing the user to scan the signed UHWM forms into the system. The systems, methods and devices may provide a UHWM electronic form that includes a signature field to receive a digital signature. When waste products are to be transported, a user may sign the UHWM form either digitally or on the printed UHWM form. Each time the waste products exchange hands, from source to destination, a responsible party signs the UHWM form to append his or her signature. Variations between previously submitted and the current version of the UHWM form may be determined from the electronic form or from scanned versions of the printed form and differences may cause the system to generate an alert.

Abstract: In certain embodiments, a system includes at least one optical sensor configured to capture one or more optical data associated with packaging of a waste product and a processor coupled to the at least one optical sensor. The processor may be configured to determine information about the waste product based on the optical data and send a signal corresponding to the information to one of a destination device and a controller based on the determined information.

Abstract: In certain embodiments, an apparatus may be configured to spray a plurality of layers of paint onto a substrate through a plurality of iterations to produce a workpiece formed of a plurality of layers of paint. In some embodiments, the apparatus may include a cutting blade coupled to the apparatus and configured to cut the workpiece into a plurality of portions.

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.
