Abstract: Infant carriers are stably supported and transported by being positioned on a frame set on wheels. The frame may include an infant carrier holder with a floor with a ramp and sidewalls. The infant carrier holder may be integral with the frame or may be mounted to a mounting device that can be adjusted for mounting angle or height. A handle is provided to the frame at a position that is suitable for a person in a wheelchair to grasp the frame and move the transport. A handle suitable for a standing person to grasp the frame may optionally be provided. The transport permits a person that may have difficulty carrying or transporting an infant carrier to more easily transport the infant carrier in a standing or a seated position, the latter as may be the case with a wheelchair occupant. The transport may be fastened to the wheelchair.

Abstract: An infant carrier holder has a floor with a ramp and sidewalls and is mounted to a shopping cart. The ramp and sidewalls can contribute to stably supporting an infant carrier. The holder serves as a mechanical interface between an infant carrier, which can be received in the holder, and the shopping cart. The holder can be concavely shaped to assist in shopping cart nesting in addition to supporting a received infant carrier at a desired angle. The holder can be adjustably mounted to a gate or a basket of the shopping cart and may/may not interfere with nesting operations. The holder permits an infant carrier to be supported on a shopping cart without using a significant amount of shopping cart space or interfering with nesting operations.

Abstract: In some embodiments, systems and methods are provided to forecast denomination needs at one or more retail shopping facilities. The system comprises a control circuit configured to determine a predicted optimized quantity of each of multiple different denominations of currency to be available for use at a retail shopping facility over a future period of time as a function of historic needs; select for each of the multiple denominations one of multiple different models; forecast a quantity of each of the multiple denominations to be present at the termination of the first future period of time by applying the selected one of the models; and determine, for each of the multiple denominations, whether the forecasted quantity of the denomination is greater than a threshold quantity of that denomination of the currency.

Abstract: Described are systems, methods, and computer readable medium for a drone navigation system. Exemplary embodiments provide a drone with an imaging device and a computing device in communication with the drone. The computing device receives a selection of a CAD blueprint that includes measurements of an interior portion of a building, and receives a start point and an end point on the blueprint. The computing device analyzes the blueprint and generates a route from the start point to the end point, and determines a first set of instructions in terms of distance and degrees to navigate the generated route. The computing device processes the first set of instructions to generate a second set of instructions in terms of yaw, pitch and roll. The second set of instructions are exported to the drone to cause the drone to navigate the generated route in the building.

Abstract: In some embodiments, apparatuses and methods are provided to enable wide access to numerous different previously compiled forecast modeling. In some embodiments, a system is provided that enables wide access to forecasting, comprising: a forecast model database that maintains numerous different forecast models that when run produce resulting forecast data relevant to making business decisions; and a forecasting interface system configured to receive multiple different forecast requests for forecast request data, which comprises a forecast model index comprising identifiers of the numerous different predefined forecast models and for each of the numerous different forecast models relevance characteristics, wherein the forecasting interface system selects, for each received forecast request, a forecast model of the numerous different forecast models based on a relationship between the corresponding forecast request data and the relevance characteristics.

Abstract: A flash sterilization container includes a hermetically sealed rigid and impermeable metal bellow valve. Upon pressurization of the external environment with steam the height of the bellow valve is reduced and this opens the valve thereby allowing steam to enter the sterilization container. Reducing the pressure outside of the sterilization container to atmospheric pressure increases the height of the bellow valve and closes the valve, thereby isolating the sterilized objects within the sterilization container.

Abstract: A terminator for a pallet guard assembly is composed of a thin panel portion that can enclose a portion of a pallet directly adjacent another structure without spacing the pallet substantially from the structure. The pallet may be enclosed on one or more sides by a pallet guard assembly, with the terminator permitting an open or free side that can be placed directly adjacent a structure while maintaining the pallet guard assembly in position around the pallet. The pallet guard terminator may be constructed to have multiple orientations to permit attachment to the pallet guard assembly members having different orientations. The pallet guard terminator may be constructed to have a single orientation to interfit with specific members of a pallet guard assembly.

Abstract: An infant seat mounted on a shopping cart permits an infant to be carried while avoiding interference with a nesting function of the shopping cart. The infant seat includes a mounting plate that can be fastened to the shopping cart at a gate that can pivot about an axis to permit the infant seat to pivot with the gate during shopping cart nesting. The infant seat can be mounted to the shopping cart at a desired mounting angle with the optional use of wedges that have particular angles of inclination. The combination of wedges can be used to produce a desired mounting angle for different types of shopping carts to which the infant seat is fastened. Mounting angle indicia can be provided on the infant seat to help determine a proper or desired mounting angle for the infant seat. A gauge to determine a proper or desired mounting angle can be used with the indicia to obtain the desired mounting angle.

Abstract: A retail display provides a simulation of stacked, palletized goods. The display simulates stacked bulk goods in bulk with a fabric cover draped on a tubular frame, where graphics and/or designs are applied to the fabric cover to simulate images of goods or stacks of goods. The fabric cover can be secured to the frame, both of which can be secured separately or together to a pallet as a support. The fabric cover and frame can be implemented in various shapes and sizes to accommodate different pallet sizes while simulating stacked bulk goods. The display eliminates the risks involved in providing actual bulk goods in palletized form for marketing and promotion purposes. The fabric cover is provided with various features, such as wind slits or rain holes to permit the display to withstand various environmental conditions.

Abstract: A cart for transporting large area objects provides a region that can support objects that have a large height and width relative to depth dimension, while accommodating more conventionally sized and shaped objects, such as might be found in a retail environment. A central leg divides the payload area of the cart into a large area object carrying portion and a region that is larger in dimension than the large area object region. The central leg is set back from a front edge of the cart, and includes a slanted upper portion to avoid interference with components of other like carts to permit the like carts to be nested. The cart permits relatively large area objects to be transported with relative ease, in addition to conventionally sized and shaped objects.
