Abstract: A conveyance system includes an in-feed conveyor for conveying a high density flow of a plurality of parcels. The system further includes a first pick conveyor configured for being selectively activated and deactivated in order to space out the plurality of parcels and turn the high density flow into a low density flow of parcels. A second pick conveyor is in series with and downstream of the first pick conveyor. The system further includes a first place conveyor and a second place conveyor in series with and downstream of the first place conveyor. A first robot is configured for transferring parcels from the first pick conveyor to the first place conveyor. A second robot is configured for transferring parcels from the second pick conveyor to the second place conveyor. As such, robots each have their own dedicated workspace and do not interfere with each other.

Abstract: An eyewear case and packaging system is disclosed which includes an improved hang tab which permits the system to by displayed in a number of orientations and is easily removable in a tool-less manner to permit the packaging to be converted into a case. The improved hang tab includes at least one fastener which is dimensioned to be inserted through any one of a plurality of apertures in the case. The fastener is secured to the case via the interior by a retention member.

Abstract: Provided herein are various enhanced systems, apparatuses, and techniques for optical communication among a constellation of satellites. One example includes establishing an initial cross-connect configuration comprising optical communication links among a constellation of satellites. In the initial cross-connect configuration, the satellites can optically communicate with both adjacently positioned and non-adjacently positioned satellites in the constellation. The satellites obtain angular states of the optical communication links resultant from orbital motion of the satellites. When angular states of a portion of the optical communication links reach an exclusion range, the satellites establish a subsequent cross-connect configuration to avoid optically communicating within the exclusion range.

Abstract: An eyewear system includes a base and a plurality of lens inserts which are dimensioned and configured to be releasably retained by the base, and removable from the base without tools. The base may be at least partially recessed on a rear face to accommodate a lens insert. The lens insert may include a lens and a subframe, the subframe being configured to nestle within the recess of the base.

Abstract: An exhaust gas system includes: an engine-turbine exhaust gas conduit configured to receive exhaust gas from an engine; a turbocharger including a turbine coupled to the engine-turbine exhaust gas conduit; an injection housing coupled to the turbine and centered on an injection housing axis; a dosing module coupled to the injection housing and including an injector configured to dose reductant into the injection housing, the injector centered on an injector axis; and a bypass system including: a bypass inlet conduit coupled to the engine-turbine exhaust gas conduit, a bypass valve coupled to the bypass inlet conduit, and a bypass outlet conduit coupled to the bypass valve, the bypass outlet conduit centered on a bypass outlet conduit axis.

Abstract: A gripping system for grabbing and releasing an object using a robotic arm includes a gripper body for operably engaging the robotic arm. The gripper body includes a vacuum pathway, a vacuum source connector operably coupled to the vacuum pathway, and a compressed air source connector. A plurality of compensators are configured to extend and retract relative to the gripper body. Each one of the compensators is configured for being placed in communication with the vacuum pathway when the compensator is in the extended position and for being isolated from the vacuum pathway when the compensator is in the retracted position.

Abstract: A packaging assembly for a pair of eyeglasses. The packaging assembly includes: a front face, the front face comprising at least one front hanger opening and at least two eyeglass temple openings, and a fastening structure configured to restrict removal of an at least one eyeglass temple from the front face. The packaging assembly is configured to facilitate sampling of the pair of eyeglasses while engaged with the packaging assembly. The packaging assembly may include a back face connected to the front face; a cutout; and at least one security element. Furthermore, the fastening structure and at least two eyeglass temple openings may be cooperatively structured to dispose the pair of eyeglasses in a stored position in overlying relation to the front face. Additionally, the present invention relates to a packaging assembly that is practical—thereby permitting a user to effectively sample the pair of eyeglasses by trying them on.
