Abstract: Various embodiments herein each include at least one of systems, methods, data structures, and software for document image processing within a device such as a retail scanner. One such embodiment, in the form of a method, includes receiving a document image from an imaging device of a scanner and determining a type of the document represented in the document image. The document image may then be processed to obtain document metadata and the document image and metadata representative of the document metadata and document type are added to a data structure. This method may further include adding transaction-related metadata to the data structure. The data structure may then be stored on the scanner, transmitted via local communications link to a host device, transmitted via a network to a database for storage, or transmitted via a network to another system for one or both of processing and storage.

Abstract: In one example in accordance with the present disclosure a fluid property sensing device is described. The fluid property sensing device includes a substrate having a trench formed therein. The trench includes a bottom surface and opposite side surfaces. A first electrode is disposed on a first side surface of the trench and a second electrode is disposed on a second side surface of the trench. The first electrode and second electrode form a capacitor to measure a complex impedance of a fluid that fills a space between the first electrode and the second electrode. This complex impedance indicates a property of the fluid. A fluid level sensing die, having a number of fluid level sensing components disposed thereon, may be attached to the substrate, preferably in such a way that the fluid level sensing die is surrounded by the trench. In this way the surface area of the electrodes provided in the trench can be increased. The number of level sensing components may be thermal sensing components.

Abstract: An adjunct material for use with an end effector in a surgical instrument is provided that has at least one projection configured to mate with a corresponding recess formed in at least one jaw, such as a cartridge or anvil, of the end effector. The at least one projection can be one or more discrete projections or longitudinal projection(s) extending between distal and proximal ends of the adjunct material. An applicator member can be used to apply force to the adjunct material to thus cause the adjunct material to mate with the jaw of the end effector. The applicator member can be configured told the adjunct material and can be clamped between the jaws of the end effector to release the adjunct material onto the jaw. Also, an applicator member can be used to push portions of an adjunct material into corresponding recesses in a jaw.

Abstract: Various embodiments of a frame for attaching an adjunct to an end effector of a surgical device are provided. In one embodiment, the end effector can include upper and lower jaws, and the frame can include features for releasably engaging one or the jaws. The frame can also include retaining features for coupling an adjunct to a tissue-facing surface of the frame, thereby releasably coupling the adjunct material to the jaw of the end effector. In some implementations, the frame can include a plurality of retaining features that are configured to engage the adjunct material to create a tension in the adjunct material, which can further assist with securing the frame to the jaw. In other embodiments, a removable applicator member is provided for retaining at least one adjunct material and for aligning and coupling the adjunct material to a frame.
