Abstract: An object processing system is disclosed that includes a mobile unit for moving from a proximal location toward a plurality of objects in a trailer of a tractor trailer, the mobile unit including at least one conveyor section for transporting any objects on the at least one conveyor section out of the trailer, the at least one conveyor section including a leading edge at a front of the mobile unit as the mobile unit moves toward the plurality of objects in the trailer, and a kicker roller adjacent the leading edge of the at least one conveyor section, the kicker roller being positioned in front of the at least one conveyor section for urging the plurality of objects onto the at least one conveyor section.

Abstract: An object processing system is disclosed that includes a mobile system for moving from a proximal location toward a plurality of objects in a trailer of a tractor trailer, said mobile system including at least one conveyor section for transporting any objects on the at least one conveyor section out of the trailer, the at least one conveyor section including a leading edge at a front of the mobile system as the mobile unit moves toward the collection of objects in the trailer, and a programmable motion device including an end-effector for grasping and moving the plurality of objects toward the at least one conveyor section, the end-effector including a plurality of vacuum cups each of which is associated with a valve assembly and each of the vacuum cups being in communication with a vacuum source via each respective valve assembly.

Abstract: An object processing system is disclosed that includes a mobile system for moving from a proximal base toward a plurality of objects to be processed, and a programmable motion device supported on the mobile unit at a proximal end of the programmable motion device, the programmable motion device including an end-effector at a distal end thereof, the end-effector including a first stationary portion that remains stationary with respect to the distal end of the programmable motion device, and a second movable portion that moves with respect to the first stationary portion, the second movable portion for contacting at least one object of the plurality of objects for urging the at least one object from the plurality of objects toward the mobile system.

Abstract: An interactive digital experience for a literary work is described. An embodiment describes a method which provides an interactive service, such as a website or mobile application, to a user. As the user interacts with the service which is related to a literary work, they navigate along a storyline within the service which corresponds to the storyline within the literary work and the user's position along that storyline is stored. Within the service, the user generates elements of user generated content and each element of user generated content which is created is stored with a position reference specifying a position of the user when that element was created. User generated content which was generated by one or more other users of the service is displayed to the user; however content which was generated by any user at a position beyond the user's stored position along the storyline is not displayed.
