  • Publication number: 20240140712
    Abstract: A method and system for obtaining an identifier from an item is disclosed. The method includes autonomously operating a robotic structure having a robotic arm to pick an item using an end effector of the robotic arm along a predetermined path from a source location to a destination location according to a plan. The picked item is moved according to the plan. An active measure is determined to be performed at least in part to obtain an identifier determined to be missing based on information received via the communication interface from one or more sensors. The robotic structure is autonomously operated to place the item at the destination location based at least in part on the plan.

  • Patent number: 7772750
    Abstract: A lamp assembly (20) includes a ceramic metal halide lamp (22) mounted in a reflector (60) with support assembly (62). First frame portions (64) of the support assembly (which include linear first portions (64a), angled second portions (64b), and offset portions (64c)) are bent approximately ninety degrees at one end and merge into second frame portions (66) that extend parallel to the lamp. The arrangement supports the light source in the PAR lamp in a transverse manner. In a second embodiment, the frame portions (62?) extend along either side of the light source to accurately position the light source relative to the reflector.
