Abstract: An automated carrier system is disclosed for moving objects to be processed. The automated carrier system includes a discontinuous plurality of track sections on which an automated carrier may be directed to move, and the automated carrier includes a base structure on which an object may be supported, and at least two wheels assemblies being pivotally supported on the base structure for pivoting movement from a first position to a second position to effect a change in direction of movement of the carrier.

Abstract: A programmable motion system is disclosed that includes a dynamic end effector system. The dynamic end effector system includes an end effector that is coupled via a dynamic coupling to the programmable motion system, wherein the dynamic coupling provides that at least a portion of the end effector may spin with respect to an other portion of the end effector.

Abstract: An object processing system within a trailer for a tracker trailer is discloses. The object processing system includes an input area of the trailer at which objects to be processed may be presented, a perception system for providing perception data regarding objects to be processed, and a primary transport system for providing transport of each object in one of at least two primary transport directions within the trailer based on the perception data.

Abstract: A system is disclosed for providing high flow vacuum control to an end effector of an articulated arm. The system includes a high flow vacuum source that provides an opening with an area of high flow vacuum at the end effector such that objects may be engaged while permitting substantial flow of air through the opening, and a load detection system for characterizing the load presented by the object.

Abstract: A storage, retrieval and processing system for processing objects is disclosed. The storage, retrieval and processing system includes a plurality of storage bins providing storage of a plurality of objects, where the plurality of storage bins is in communication with a retrieval conveyance system, a programmable motion device in communication with the retrieval conveyance system for receiving the storage bins from the plurality of bins, where the programmable motion device includes an end effector for grasping and moving a selected object out of a selected storage bin, and a movable carriage for receiving the selected object from the end effector of the programmable motion device, and for carrying the selected object to one of a plurality of destination bins.

Abstract: An electric vehicle supply equipment (EVSE) includes a thermal management system that includes a dual-sided heatsink that includes a first side that faces internal ambient air of the EVSE and a second side that faces external ambient air. A first fan circulates the internal ambient air of the EVSE across the first side to reject heat from the internal ambient air into the first side. A first airflow guide guides the internal ambient air across the first side of the dual-sided heatsink. A second fan draws external ambient air that flows across the second side to reject heat from the second side out of the thermal management system. A second airflow guide guides the external ambient air across the second side. An airflow seal prevents the external ambient air and the internal ambient air from mixing.

Abstract: A cable management apparatus of an electric vehicle charging station for managing an electric vehicle charging cable is described. The cable management apparatus comprises a housing and a swing arm. The housing houses a hub connected to a swing arm housing to allow the swing arm housing to rotate about the hub from a starting position to an ending position. The housing further houses a damper, where a first end is attached to the housing of the cable management apparatus and a second end is attached to the swing arm housing to manage retraction of the swing arm housing. The housing further houses a first rotation stop element to prevent the swing arm housing from rotating beyond the ending position. The cable management apparatus further comprises the swing arm housing connected to the housing of the cable management apparatus by the hub and the second end of the damper.

Abstract: A method and system for data input is provided. The method includes inputting data, reading a subset of a set of predefined machine-readable codes from a printed media, the printed media including thereon the set of predefined machine-readable codes and a set of human-readable indicia. Each of the set of human-readable indicia is associated with a respective one of the set of predefined machine-readable codes. Each of the set of human-readable indicia indicates a user-selectable input value. The subset of the plurality of predefined machine-readable codes consists of predefined machine-readable codes that have not been defaced. The method also includes saving as user input values the user-selectable input values indicated by the indicia that are associated with the machine-readable codes in the set of predefined machine-readable codes that have not been read.

Abstract: A mobile lottery terminal is disclosed. The mobile lottery terminal includes a processor. The mobile lottery terminal may include a Braille keypad in communication with the processor. The mobile lottery terminal may also include a customer information input device in communication with the processor and operable to input information indicative of a customer-selected lottery number. A system incorporating mobile lottery terminals and method of vending lottery tickets using mobile lottery terminals is also disclosed.
