  • Publication number: 20240330891
    Abstract: Systems and methods of obtaining a virtual representation of a physical object at point of sale are presented. In one exemplary embodiment, a POS system includes a first sensor device operable to sense an identifier unique to a physical object and a second sensor device operable to capture a digital image of the physical object during checkout by the POS system. Further, the POS system is communicatively coupled to a blockchain network that includes network nodes that are collectively configured to operate a blockchain. The unique physical object identifier is associated with a cryptographic digital asset stored on the blockchain as a code that represents the unique physical object identifier and a code that represents a reference to a virtual object obtained based on a digital image of the physical object captured by the second sensor during the checkout by the POS system.

  • Patent number: 12092215
    Abstract: A press-in-place reinforced seal for an interface between adjacent components, includes a cylindrical structure arranged along a longitudinal axis and characterized by a stepped-shape in a cross-sectional view. The seal is pressed into a first component and compressed by a second component when the seal is installed within the interface. The stepped-shape includes a compliant first section having a first width along the longitudinal axis and a first length orthogonal to the longitudinal axis. The first section is compressed by the second component and generates sealing pressure between the first and second components when the seal is installed. The stepped-shape also includes a rigid second section affixed to the first section along the first length for stabilizing the seal structure. The second section has a second width along the longitudinal axis and a second length orthogonal to the longitudinal axis and greater than the first length.

  • Publication number: 20240300752
    Abstract: An assembly and method thereof creates a stack of objects. The assembly has a diverted to move objects having a desired size from a first conveyor to a second conveyor. The diverted utilizes diversion plates. The second conveyor transfers the objects to an accumulator. The objects that are accumulate are squared and then moved to a raised position. A lift assembly then lifts the accumulated objects that were square and translates the objects to a queuing assembly. The process repeats to construct a stack of objects with multiple layers of objects. The created stack of objects may then be transferred to a subsequent destination for further use or processing.
