  • Patent number: 11968334
    Abstract: Described herein is a multi-user retail photo kiosk system that includes multiple touch screen and Graphic User Interface (GUI) controlled consumer photo editing, photo print and product selection, and photo order placement terminals and multiple photo printers. The user photo kiosk terminals can receive images. Billing and payment is accomplished using barcoded receipts provided at the user terminal for payments for purchased photo products. A printer array incorporating various printers capable of producing prints or various sizes and formats can be configured as a horizontal counter or as a vertical tower and includes means to alert the user that their photo print order is complete. In addition, the system automatically notifies operators if equipment service, maintenance, media refilling, and/or post printing finishing procedures are required.

  • Patent number: 11957894
    Abstract: A neuromodulation therapy is delivered via at least one electrode implanted subcutaneously and superficially to a fascia layer superficial to a nerve of a patient. In one example, an implantable medical device is deployed along a superficial surface of a deep fascia tissue layer superficial to a nerve of a patient. Electrical stimulation energy is delivered to the nerve through the deep fascia tissue layer via implantable medical device electrodes.

  • Publication number: 20210364004
    Abstract: A system uses one or more fans to regulate airflow associated with products, such as to assist in retarding the spoilage of produce on display for sale in a space. The system includes a display in the space for displaying the produce for sale and at least one sensor for sensing a parameter associated with the display and generating an output representative of the parameter. The fan may be an overhead fan located in the space above the display for regulating the airflow over the display. A controller is provided for controlling the fan based on the output of the sensor. Related aspects and methods are also disclosed.
