Abstract: An electric vehicle charging station is disclosed. The electric vehicle charging station includes a housing, a motion sensor mounted within the housing, and a processor communicably coupled to the motion sensor. The processor is configured to: obtain sensor output of the motion sensor; detect a first motion of the housing based on the obtained sensor output; and in response to detecting the first motion, initiate an auxiliary operation for activating a first safety feature corresponding to the detected first motion in connection with the electric vehicle charging station.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method, a computer system, and a computer program product are provided for estimating output data that includes or is based on a number of containers, which may or may not be in receptacles. The method involves using an object detection algorithm operating on an input digital image to detect container images and receptacle images (if any), and using an estimation algorithm operating on the detected images to estimate the number of containers. Estimating the number of containers may involve counting the number of containers within different container classes, as determined by the object detection algorithm. Estimating the number of containers may involve estimating a size of a receptacle in a detected receptacle image based on analysis of a detected reference container image. A detected reference object image may be used to assist with classifying detected container images in different container classes.

Abstract: A thermal liner comprising a plurality of planar panel sections and being configurable in an operative configuration defining a closed inner chamber delimited by a bottom wall, four side walls and a top wall. Each one of the bottom wall, the side walls and the top wall comprises an inner sheet, an outer sheet and at least one intermediate sheet. A first core layer extends between the inner sheet and a respective one of the at least one intermediate sheet and defines a plurality of geometrically patterned structures inbetween. A second core layer extends between the outer sheet and a respective one of the at least one intermediate sheet and defines a plurality of geometrically patterned structures inbetween. A container having a thermal liner such as the one described above is also provided.
