Abstract: See-through, touch-sensitive displays are provided. More particularly, in some embodiments, apparatuses are provided, comprising: a controllable transmittance film; a transparent display panel; a clear panel; a touch sensitive overlay; and a hardware processor coupled to the controllable transmittance film, the transparent display panel, and the touch sensitive overlay, and configured to cause the controllable transmittance film to switch between a first state in which the controllable transmittance film is non-energized and a second state in which the controllable transmittance film is energized. In some of these embodiments, the transparent display panel is positioned between the controllable transmittance film and the clear panel. In some of these embodiments, the clear panel is positioned between the transparent display panel and the touch sensitive overlay. In some of these embodiments, the apparatus is positioned on a vending machine.

Abstract: Apparatus and methods for vending an item. The apparatus may include an insulated enclosure. The insulated enclosure may include a first elongated member supporting a first coupling mechanism. The insulated enclosure may include a second elongated member, opposite the first elongated member, supporting a second coupling mechanism. The apparatus may include a storage frame positioned within the insulated enclosure. A top face of the storage frame may include a ridge. The ridge may be slidingly and removably coupled to the first coupling mechanism and the second coupling mechanism.
