Publication number: 20240125028Abstract: Indigo-dyed garments are treated with an anti-ozone agent to prevent ozone-related degradation of the garments before laser finishing. Without treatment, the garments can exhibit color loss (e.g., color change or fading) from exposure to ozone in the atmosphere. The indigo-dyed garments with anti-ozone treatment can serve as base templates in a laser finishing process flow. The anti-ozone treatment of the base templates can include a rinse including an ascorbic acid or vitamin C constituent during a base preparation process. Then quantities of these base templates can manufactured and stored for periods of time without exhibiting ozone-related degradation effects.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 18, 2023Publication date: April 18, 2024Inventors: James Barton Sights, David Love, Elizabeth O'Neill, Benjamin Bell, Jennifer Schultz, Christopher Schultz, Debdulal Mahanty, Sachith Devendra Samarasinghe, Chatura Atukorala, Jeff Zens

Patent number: 11927472Abstract: Modular storage systems include load sensors disposed beneath or in association with platforms. The load sensors are pulse-sampled for signals corresponding to loads at time intervals, rather than continuously, in order to conserve electrical power. An item associated with a transaction is identified based on a change in the loads, as determined from the pulse-sampled signals. The platforms are aligned at horizontal or non-horizontal angles, and photovoltaic power sources with banks of photovoltaic cells are mounted to front edges of the platforms. When a user reaches over one of the photovoltaic cells to access an item on a platform, a level of power or voltage generated by the photovoltaic cell is diminished. The item closest to the photovoltaic cell having the diminished power or voltage, or a customer that accessed the item, may be identified accordingly.Type: GrantFiled: June 26, 2019Date of Patent: March 12, 2024Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Matthew Ray DesJardien, Chelsea Olson, Robert M. Riggs, Dan Beltzer, Paul Eugene Munger, Aaron M. McDaniel, Andrew James Pierce, Michael Mosman, Nathan Pius O'Neill
