Abstract: Methods and systems for smart handling of warehouse items. An embodiment takes the form of a wearable accessory that is configured to (a) identify an object, (b) detect an attachment-triggering event, (c) responsive to detecting the attachment-triggering event, attach to the object, (d) determine at least one handling constraint associated with the object, where the at least one handling constraint includes an acceptable pressure range, (e) measure a pressure exerted on the object via the accessory, (f) provide an indication, via a user interface, based on the measured pressure and the acceptable pressure range; and (g) detect a release-triggering event, and responsively release the object.

Abstract: A system for use in determining a location of a defect in an object is provided. The system includes an ultrasonic phased array configured to provide a sector scan of the object, a display, and a processor. The processor is programmed to provide a volume-corrected view of a sector of an ultrasonic inspection of the object on the display, wherein the object has a first surface defined by a first radius and a second surface defined by a second radius that is shorter than the first radius, receive gate parameters of a gate used to measure a location of a reflection of a beam emitted from the ultrasonic phased array, wherein the reflection is indicative of a defect on the first surface or the second surface, and calculate a location of the defect using the gate.

Abstract: Described is a system comprising a computing device detachably coupled to an input arrangement. Upon authenticating a user, a corresponding user profile is retrieved from a memory module and uploaded into at least one of the device and the arrangement. The profile stores user's preferences for inputting data via the input arrangement. The memory module is situated in at least one of the device and the arrangement.
