Abstract: There is provided a mounting bracket for attaching a light fixture to a light pole, with the light pole having an external surface, an internal surface defining an internal cavity, and a pair of apertures extending from the external surface to the internal surface. The mounting bracket includes an internal support sized and structured to be insertable within the internal cavity of the light pole. The internal support includes a housing and a pair of fasteners moveable relative to the housing and alignable with respective ones of the pair of apertures. An external support is sized and structured to be positionable adjacent the external surface of the light pole, the external support having a pair of slots formed therein and alignable with respective ones of the pair of fasteners. A mount body is slidably engageable with the external support and is pivotally connectable to the light fixture.

Abstract: An object tracking system is disclosed. The system comprises an appliance comprising at least one operating volume and an access region through which the operating volume is accessed. The system further comprises at least one imager and a controller. The controller is operable to detect at least one part of a person's body in the access region based on the image data and identify the object in connection with the part of the person's body. Based on the detection of the object in connection with the person's body, the controller is configured to identify the object. An action is determined for the object based on one or more characteristics of the physical object indicated in the image data.
