Abstract: An apparatus is configured to be mounted on a conveyor that passes by a tagging machine, wherein the tagging machine is configured to apply a labeling article. The apparatus includes a first cup attached to the conveyor, a second cup slidably attached to the first cup, and a biasing mechanism that biases the second cup toward the conveyor. A method of applying a labeling article to a product comprises attaching a receptacle to a conveyor that passes by a tagging machine and positioning the product in the receptacle. An apparatus comprises a bar configured to be mounted on the conveyor and a receptacle including a base. The receptacle is configured to receive a product to which the labeling article is to be applied. The bar and base have a sliding interface for mutual connection and disconnection.

Abstract: Automated generation of an audit log with application-level metadata using the replication log of a database. In an embodiment, the records of a replication log, output by a database, are accessed. The records represent metadata-related modifications to a metadata table, as well as data-related modifications to data table(s). Metadata, including application-level metadata, are extracted from metadata-related modifications and stored in a first intermediary table, such that the extracted metadata are associated with first identifiers. Representations of data-related modifications are stored in a second intermediary table in association with second identifiers. An audit log is generated by combining extracted metadata in the first intermediary table with representations of data-related modifications in the second intermediary table based on the first and second identifiers.

Abstract: A service provider may assist in management of remotely stored data. The service provider may cause a user device to update remotely stored personal information, including payment information, across one or more third party electronic sites (e.g., websites, applications, and/or other remote data repositories). The service provider may build a site directory of sites that store personal data. The site directory may include information to enable update of personal information for a specific site, such as which pages to access, what data to input, what type of inputs are acceptable, and other selections and/or inputs to create, modify, update, or switch personal information maintained by a site with new or different personal information. The service provider may create a script that, when executed by an application on a user device, may cause the user device to automatically update the personal information on one or more third party sites.

Abstract: A method for manufacturing a plurality of labeling bands includes extruding an elastic material, co-extruding a label material with the elastic material, curing the elastic material and the label material, and locating a plurality of demarcations at intervals along the length of the tube to define the plurality of labeling bands. Co-extruding the label material with the elastic material includes forming a tube having an outer surface, an inner surface and a length, so that the label material forms a stripe on the outer surface. In another aspect, an article of manufacture includes an endless band of a first elastic material and a label of a second material embedded into an outer surface of the endless band. The endless band includes the outer surface, an inner surface and first and second opposed perimeter edges, each of the first and second opposed perimeter edges having a common unstretched perimeter dimension.
