Abstract: A system includes a shelving unit, a sensor and a processor. The shelving unit includes a pocket. The sensor is associated with the pocket and is configured to obtain a parameter indicative of a weight of the pocket. The processor configured to execute instructions stored in a nontransitory computer-readable medium. The instructions include obtaining the parameter indicative of the weight of the pocket from the sensor, determining the weight of the pocket based on the parameter, comparing the weight of the pocket to a predetermined value, generating a paint chip order that includes a request in response to the weight of the pocket being below the predetermined value, and transmitting the paint chip order to a computing system.

Abstract: Systems and methods include a display assembly that displays paint color chips at paint color chip locations that each have a divider tab. A light-emitting diode (LED) control circuit is in communication with each LED of an LED array and in communication with a computing device that determines a particular paint color chip based on received input, determines a particular paint color chip location of the particular paint color chip, identifies a particular LED associated with the particular paint color chip location, and transmits an activation signal to the LED control circuit. The LED control circuit receives the activation signal and activates the particular LED to illuminate the divider tab located at the particular paint color chip location within the display assembly.

Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed and include a light-emitting diode (LED) array with LEDs associated with respective paint color chip locations of a display assembly. A processor receives a first signal indicating first paint color chip locations and determines whether a second signal is received from a second device within a threshold time, the second signal indicating second paint color chip locations. The processor assigns a first lighting characteristic to the first device and a second lighting characteristic to the second device, identifies a first set of LEDs associated with the first paint color chip locations and a second set of LEDs associated with the second paint color chip locations, and transmits an activation signal to the LED control circuit to activate the first set of LEDs based on the first lighting characteristic and the second set of LEDs based on the second lighting characteristic.

Abstract: A system includes a shelving mechanism having a first surface, a second surface, a tab channel adjacent to the second surface, and a pair of supports. The pair of supports is disposed between an opening defined by the first surface and the second surface. The tab channel is defined by a first tab surface and a second tab surface. The first tab surface and the second tab surface are nonparallel to the second surface. The first tab surface includes a first locking portion and the second tab surface includes a second locking portion. A light-emitting diode (LED) array is slidably disposed on the pair of supports and a divider tab snaps into engagement with the tab channel. The divider tab is configured to illuminate in response to receiving light from the LED array.

Abstract: A display assembly is provided with a base, and a plurality of receptacles supported by the base. Each of the plurality of receptacles is sized to receive a plurality of cards. Each of the plurality of receptacles has a distal end with an opening for display, receipt and removal of at least one of the plurality of cards and a proximal end to provide a limit to a depth of receipt for the plurality of cards within the receptacle. Each receptacle is oriented such that a direction from the distal end to the proximal end is angularly offset from vertical about a fore/aft axis relative to the base for customer access of at least one of the plurality of cards. Multiple arrays of receptacles are provided with a central array having a quantity of receptacles that is different than the other arrays to create a non-rectangular overall profile.

Abstract: Various embodiments of a system and method for backing up a plurality of copies of a file are described. A first copy of the file may be owned by a first user, and a second copy of the file may be owned by a second user. The file is split into a plurality of segments, and each segment is encrypted with a respective segment key. Each encrypted segment is transmitted to and stored on a server computer system. De-duplication techniques are used to ensure that only a single instance of each encrypted segment is stored. The segment keys used to encrypt the file segments are also stored on the server computer system in an encrypted form. De-duplication techniques may be utilized so that only a single instance of the encrypted segment keys is stored.
