Abstract: Warehouse automation and methods of sorting and sequencing garment items can be used to enhance efficiencies of order fulfillment processes. For example, this document describes warehouse automation of systems and methods for efficiently compiling store replenishment orders for garment items. The systems and methods make store replenishment of garment items highly efficient. In some examples, the systems and methods are focused on automation (e.g., using autonomous mobile robots that transport pods containing garment items) and arranging the garment items in store-ready containers that can be wheeled out directly into the retail area for efficient store replenishment.

Abstract: A message management server may receive selections, from a message publisher, to build a message series. The message series includes one or more messages and a live chat triggering condition. The message management server may generate a message series preview of the message series. The message series preview includes a simulation of a message in the message series. The message management server may receive a command from the message publisher to launch the message series. The message management server may transmit at least one of the messages in the message series to an end user. The message management server may determine that the live chat triggering condition is met. The message management server may launch a live chat based on the live chat triggering condition being met. The live chat connects the end user to a natural person agent.

Abstract: It is provided a method for analyzing geo-spatial data. The method comprising the following steps: processing at least parts of the geo-spatial data to derive spatial object representations and collecting further geo-spatial data if a quality condition of the spatial object representation is not fulfilled.

Abstract: An exemplary hammock shelter may provide unique ergonomic features, such as slits and pockets that permit a user's arms and legs to hang below the hammock. This arrangement of features may advantageously provide the user a flatter posture with improved comfort and ergonomic support. An exemplary hammock shelter may be used alone or multiple sheet or blanket accessories may be attached to provide insulation and comfort to the user over a range of temperatures. In some examples, insect and weather barrier canopies may be attached or otherwise affixed to an exemplary hammock structure to provide protection to the user from insects and weather elements.

Abstract: Apparatuses, methods, and systems for projecting images into a projection zone are provided, while having the capability to detect the presence and movement of objects in the projection zone and to interact with those objects, according to programmed interactions. One of the programmed interactions is to detect objects in the projection zone and avoid projecting light onto them. The capability to detect and avoid objects in the projection zone allows for the use of high intensity light images including laser light images around people and animals without the risk of eye injury. Another programmed interaction is to project an illuminated image around people and objects in the projection zone to emphasize their presence and movement. Sensed topography data advanced geometry correction for projecting geometrically accurate images onto uneven surfaces. Advanced beam shaping optics enable long distance projections at low angles onto unprepared surfaces.

Abstract: A device for stabilising a ladder against a surface, the ladder having a pair of stiles and a plurality of rungs connected therebetween, the device comprising: an engagement mechanism for releasably engaging two adjacent rungs, the engagement mechanism including two opposed receiving portions for at least partially receiving a rung, at least one of the receiving portions being selectively movable relative to the other thereby allowing the engagement mechanism to urge against the adjacent rungs; and at least one arm pivotably connected to the engagement mechanism to allow pivoting thereof to a fixed angle relative to the engagement mechanism, the at least one arm having an abutting portion for abutting under the surface, thereby allowing the ladder to be wedged between the surface and ground level to stabilise the ladder.

Abstract: The present invention provides an oxidative coupling procedure that allows efficient synthesis of novel cyclo[n]pyrrole macrocycles. Therefore, the present invention provides cyclo[n]pyrroles where n is 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, or 12, and derivatives, multimers, isomers, and ion and neutral molecule complexes thereof as new compositions of matter. A protonated form of cyclo[n]pyrrole displays a gap of up to 700 nm between strong Soret and Q-like absorption bands in the electronic spectrum, demonstrating no significant ground state absorption in the visible portion of the electronic spectrum. Uses of cyclo[n]pyrroles as separation media, nonlinear optical materials, information storage media and infrared filters are provided.
