Patent number: 11941573Abstract: A system and method for food traceability from a food service location to the consumer is disclosed. The method comprises marking food items with a received label as the food items are received. This received label identifies a storage location for the food item and generates traceability information for the food item. If the food item is not intended for storage, then the food item is transferred to a prep table and unique item information is generated for the food item. The food item can then be prepped for usage. During the prepping process, the food item's expiration date is verified, and a serial number is generated, and a use by date is calculated. If the prepped food item is to be served to a consumer, a label is generated with traceability information, and unneeded ingredients are re-purposed or properly disposed of.Type: GrantFiled: April 4, 2023Date of Patent: March 26, 2024Assignee: Avery Dennison Retail Information Services LLCInventors: Jeanne Duckett, Michael Schaberl, Txus Carrion

Patent number: 11577875Abstract: A portable hybrid hand labeler is disclosed that relies on mechanical motion, which eliminates the need for motors and the corresponding energy required to run the motors. The portable hybrid hand labeler also houses an ink jet head and a digital print mechanism, which offers the user infinite print flexibility via downloadable print bands. The portable hybrid hand labeler is preferably battery driven, and comprises a unique drive system and mechanism to harvest the kinetic energy from the trigger pull and a display panel with a solar panel to collect solar energy to trickle charge the battery pack, thereby increasing usage time between charges.Type: GrantFiled: June 18, 2019Date of Patent: February 14, 2023Assignee: Avery Dennison Retail Information Services LLCInventors: Jeanne Duckett, Frederick Pou, Timothy Brown, Jesus Romo, Jr., Mark Morrow, Txus Carrion, Dee Sawyer, John Mistyurik, Leah Burch, John Gallant, Kartavyakumar Patel

Patent number: 10789440Abstract: A process of providing user information for a mechanical hand labeler to instruct the user on proper use of the device and how to reorder consumables is disclosed. The mechanical hand labeler would comprise a Quick Response (QR) code that is embedded with Uniform Resource Locators (URLs) for different functions. The embedded URLs in the QR code are read via a smart phone. The smart phone reads the QR code and launches the appropriate website. Specifically, the QR code is placed on an outside of the mechanical hand labeler for providing instructions on loading supplies into the mechanical hand labeler; and the QR code is placed on an inside of the mechanical hand labeler for providing instructions on reordering supplies.Type: GrantFiled: September 15, 2017Date of Patent: September 29, 2020Assignee: Avery Dennison Retail Information Services, LLCInventors: Jeanne Duckett, Tiffany Howe, David Liebrecht

Publication number: 20200202086Abstract: A smart prep table and associated method of food traceability is disclosed which comprises an RFID system used in conjunction with a machine vision or intelligent imaging system to unobtrusively obtain, maintain and update information on the current inventory levels of the food items and/or ingredients on or in proximity to the prep table. The device and related method of the present invention may also be used to gather traceability data with respect to the food items and/or ingredients, and the food products that result therefrom. In turn, the traceability data may be provided to consumers or other users, and may also be used to generate a variety of different consumer or user alerts.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 20, 2019Publication date: June 25, 2020Inventors: Jeanne Duckett, Lori Porter

Publication number: 20060222430Abstract: A method and system operable in multiple modes of operation and including a web feeding mode and an idle mode. In the web feeding mode, the device operates to perform a function on a linerless web having tacky adhesive in contact with a feed roll by which the web is being moved or advanced. This function can be a printing function and/or an RFID and/or write function, or other functions. During the idle mode, the controller can cause the web feeding device to perform a cycling program to abate excessive sticking or bonding of the tacky linerless web to the feed roll.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 1, 2005Publication date: October 5, 2006Inventors: Jeanne Duckett, John Kessler

Publication number: 20060071063Abstract: A system and method for printing both record members having RFID transponders disposed thereon and record members not having RFID transponders disposed thereon. In one embodiment, a RFID printer receives data to be printed on a record member and determines if the data includes RFID data to be written to a RFID transponder embedded on a record member. If the received data includes RFID data, the RFID printer prints a RFID record member according to the received data. If the received data does not include RFID data, the RFID printer transmits the data to a non-RFID printer for printing. In another embodiment, a non-RFID printer receives data to be printed on a record member and determines if the data includes RFID data to be written to a RFID transponder embedded on a record member. If the received data does not include RFID data, the non-RFID printer prints a record member according to the received data.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 29, 2004Publication date: April 6, 2006Inventor: Jeanne Duckett
