Abstract: An automated product locker includes a housing and a drawer configured to be slidably stowable within the housing. The defines a storage area for storing product. Visual indicators on the product locker indicate respective positions, i.e., locations of the product within the storage area, so that desired products may located by the user. Upon withdrawal or closure of a door by a user, a machine vision system, such as a camera, may capture information about the product and inventory the product based, at least in part, on the information identified from images of the product obtaining by the machine vision system.

Abstract: An example automated product locker is described herein. The automated product locker can include a housing and a drawer configured to be slidably stowable within the housing. The drawer can define a storage area configured to receive a product. The automated product locker can include a plurality of visual indicators configured to indicate respective positions of respective units of the product within the storage area, and a machine vision system configured to capture information about the product. The machine vision system can include an optical device. Additionally, the automated product locker can include a controller operably coupled to the machine vision system. The controller can be configured to inventory the product based, at least in part, on the information about the product, and cause one or more of the visual indicators that are associated with a desired unit of the product to actuate.

Abstract: A cleaning bullet for use in a pipe or track includes a compressible body. In one embodiment, a sheet draped over the body is engageable with interior walls of the pipe or track to clean small contaminants. In another embodiment, the body is formed from an absorbent material that absorbs a fluid, such as a cleaning solution, that can clean and/or disinfect the interior walls of the pipe or track. In yet another embodiment, an alignment key extends radially from a body axis for guiding the cleaning bullet in an air conveyor track.

Abstract: A device for use when there is a spill including a spill cleaning device which can collect liquid and solid debris from a surface. The spill cleaning device includes at least one squeegee. The spill cleaning device further includes a sachet member containing a cleaner and/or a sanitizer to clean the surface after the debris is collected. The spill cleaning device is designed for simple operation and to eliminate the need for multiple items to clean a spill.

Abstract: A self-erecting device which can serve as a signaling unit. An absorbent pad connected to a self-erecting device results in a combined signal and spill absorbing unit. The self-erecting and absorbing device is simple in construction and easy to operate. In an alternative embodiment, the self-erecting device can include a carpet cleaner in the absorbent pad.
