Publication number: 20190220805Abstract: A method and apparatus for providing information along a shelf edge of a retailer is described. On a display configured to be oriented along an edge of a shelf of a retailer, a first user interface including first information about a first product on the shelf is provided. At least one second user interface including at least one second information about at least one second product on the shelf is provided on the display. An individual is permitted to edit a parameter of the first user interface and/or the at least one second user interface. The parameter may include at least one of: a size of the user interface on the display, a shape of the user interface on the display, and a location of the user interface on the display. The first information and the at least one second information may be outputted concurrently to the display.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 15, 2019Publication date: July 18, 2019Inventors: Bradley Thomas Johnson, John Wesley Swafford, JR., Michael Alvin Lembke, Joseph Christian Ernest

Publication number: 20190206664Abstract: The invention relates to a method, a device and a system for the treatment of biological frozen samples using plasma focused ion beams (FIB). The samples can then be used for mass spectrometry (MS), genomics, such as gene sequencing analysis or next generation sequencing (NGS) analysis, and proteomics. The present invention particularly relates to a method of treatment of at least one biological sample. This method is particularly used for high performance microscopy, proteomics analytics, sequencing, such as NGS etc. According to the present invention the method comprises the steps of providing at least one biological sample in frozen form. The milling treats at least one part of the sample by a plasma ion beam comprising at least one of an O+ and/or a Xe+ plasma.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 19, 2018Publication date: July 4, 2019Inventors: Alex DE MARCO, Sergey GORELICK, Chad RUE, Joseph CHRISTIAN, Kenny MANI, Steven RANDOLPH, Matthias LANGHORST

Publication number: 20190179341Abstract: The present invention relates to systems and methods for vehicles to closely follow one another safely through partial automation. Following closely behind another vehicle has significant fuel savings benefits, but is unsafe when done manually by the driver. On the opposite end of the spectrum, fully autonomous solutions require inordinate amounts of technology, and a level of robustness that is currently not cost effective.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 31, 2019Publication date: June 13, 2019Applicant: Peloton Technology, Inc.Inventors: Joshua P. Switkes, Joseph Christian Gerdes, Eugene Berdichevsky
