Abstract: In frictionless shopping environments, there may be a variety of age-restricted products. Shopping areas within the frictionless shopping environment can include one or more smart shelving units that have various restricted areas to house these age-restricted products. These restricted areas can be locking cabinets or other method of preventing any customer from grabbing the products. The frictionless shopping environment can comprise customer tracking and matching to customer data within an enrollment server or other device that can include a verified age associated with a customer that can be utilized to provide access to one or more age restricted products. Verification can occur via scanning of identification cards which can be processed by image processing methods or via a human review. Once verified, the customer can be matched and tracked within a frictionless shopping area and provide automatic access to age-restricted products either by customer location, voice request, or time period.

Abstract: A modular cross-connect includes a chassis configured to receive a plurality of cross-connect modules therein and having a front face and a rear cover. A plurality of fixed portions of cross-connect modules are mounted in the chassis such that rear facing connectors of each of the fixed portions extend outward from the rear cover of the chassis. Each fixed portion has a front-facing connector configured to mate with a rear-facing connector of a corresponding removable portion of a cross-connect module. A plurality of reversible slots are formed in the chassis. Each slot is configured to receive a removable portion of a cross-connect module and to align a rear-facing connector of a removable portion of a cross-connect module for connection with a front-facing connector of a fixed portion of a cross-connect module.

Abstract: An approach for presenting search results using dynamic categorization involves examining search results and dynamically establishing one or more categories of search results based upon attributes of the search results. A variety of grouping or clustering techniques may be used to dynamically establish the categories of search results. The categories of search results are then presented using category indicators.
