Abstract: An ion exchange apparatus for use during a glass strengthening chemical process comprising a base, a bath access component, and a pin-spring assembly. The base is configured to support one or more glass sheets and includes a plurality of holes. The bath access component is coupled to the base and has an upright orientation. The pin-spring assembly includes a first pin, a spaced-apart second pin, and a spring having a plurality of coils. The spring is positioned between the two pins and is coupled to each pin. The pin-spring assembly is attached to the base such that the first pin is positioned in a first hole and the second pin is positioned in a second hole. The spring is configured to receive and retain each of the one or more glass sheets between adjacent coils of the spring.

Abstract: A glass slumping fixture comprises a structure including a first side surface, a spaced-apart second side surface, and a top surface positioned therebetween and connected to each side surface. The structure further includes spaced apart slots that are positioned on the first side surface, the second side surface, and the top surface, each slot being an indentation that extends along at least a portion of a height of the first side surface, at least a portion of a height of the second side surface, and across the top surface from the first side surface to the second side surface. The structure retains a glass sheet during a slumping process including the glass sheet being placed on the top surface over the slots and heated until a first portion of the glass sheet contacts the first side surface and a second portion of the glass sheet contacts the second side surface.

Abstract: The invention systems and methods for managing the issuance or authorization of identifier labels by a third-party certifier for use in distinguishing and/or tracking a product within a supply chain.

Abstract: Exemplary embodiments provide an apparatus for securing a camera to a Point-of-Sale (POS) device. The apparatus includes an arm assembly having a first arm section and a second arm section. The second arm section is couplable to the first arm section and has a structure that complements the first arm section. The arm assembly is configured for mounting on a light arm of a POS device by securing the first arm section and the second arm section around the light arm using one or more screws. The apparatus also includes a detachable camera housing configured for attaching to a distal end of the arm assembly and for housing a camera. The camera housing has an opening for a lens of the camera. The apparatus further includes a protective layer configured for disposing in the camera housing to protect the lens of the camera.

Abstract: The invention generally relates to systems and methods for providing product information. The present invention implements a system for defining product variations and assigning references to them at the point of sale or delivery. The present invention is unique in allowing a seller to assign or modify a reference associated with such a bar code or similar device at the point of sale or delivery, thereby changing the information delivered to the buyer based on details about the specific unit sold, the circumstances of the transaction, or the identity of the buyer.

Abstract: The invention provides systems and methods for monitoring the movement of a product in a supply chain and further managing the exchange of traceability information of the product as it moves among members or entities in the supply chain.

Abstract: The invention generally relates to systems and methods for providing product information via an interactive display device in a dynamic format. The present invention implements a system for defining product variations and assigning references to them at the point of sale or delivery. The system further includes an interactive display device for providing informational data associated with a product variation assigned to a product upon recognition of the product in contact therewith. The present invention is unique in allowing a seller to assign or modify a reference associated with a unique identifier, such as a barcode label, at the point of sale or delivery, thereby changing the information delivered to the buyer based on details about the specific unit sold, the circumstances of the transaction, or the identity of the buyer.
