    Abstract: A food donation tracking system is provided for tracking food donations along a food donation route that includes a food recipient location and a plurality of food rescue locations. The system includes a display device at each of the food rescue locations, each display device being operable to generate a dynamic unique code specific to the food rescue location where the display device is located. A driver scans the dynamic unique code with a handheld unit. Tracking information is recorded and transmitted from the handheld unit to a central server.

  • Patent number: 5224016
    Abstract: A retainer for retaining an electronic module, such as a printed circuit board, in the slot of a casing. Oppositely oriented wedge-shaped elements are slidingly received on a rail in a manner which prevents rotation of the wedge-shaped elements about the rail. A pivotable lever having a cam surface is provided such that rotation of the lever actuates the retainer by compressing the wedge-shaped elements. In one embodiment, the lever is provided with a projection which engages the casing to extract the module when the lever is pivoted to release the retainer.
