Abstract: A modular shelving system is disclosed. In an embodiment, a box shelf is provided that may be supported by vertical rails of a shelf upright. The box shelf may be supported by shelf supports that engage the vertical rails. The box shelf may include a slideable shelf mounted on a rail and held in position by a biased hinge plate. The slideable shelf may include a divider to separate the shelf into one or more regions and to interfere with the rapid removal of products from the shelf. The box shelf may further include a door that in an embodiment may be required to be opened before products can be removed from slideable shelf.

Abstract: A wireless interactive consumer video system and a method for wireless communication between an input and display unit and a video electronics unit. The input and display unit includes a key pad and a video display. The input device accepts a user entry and generates a data signal corresponding to the user entry. The input and display unit transmits the data signal to the video electronics unit, which generates a video signal responsive to the data signal. The video signal is then provided to the input and display unit, which provides an image on the video display.

Abstract: A promotional method comprising the steps of storing a predetermined number of recognizable data, storing a message for each of the predetermined number of recognizable data, scanning a document to read machine readable information appearing thereon, determining whether scanned data represented by the machine readable information on the scanned document represents data corresponding to any of said stored recognizable data, identifying the stored recognizable data corresponding to the scanned data in response to the determination that the scanned data corresponds to one of the stored recognizable data, identifying a stored message associated with the identified stored recognizable data, and selecting the identified message and producing an output response corresponding thereto.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for detecting a defective distributor is shown. The apparatus includes an input system providing the time of each cylinder firing after an initial firing of cylinder #1.
