Abstract: A technique for detecting spills is disclosed. A number of electrodes within a portion of a surface are connected to a resistance meter. The resistance meter detects a spill by measuring a change in resistance between two or more electrodes when a fluid is spilled over the two or more of the electrodes. The location of the spill can also be determined based on a known location for each of the electrodes. The size of the spill can further be determined based on a number of electrodes which measured a change in resistance due to the spilled fluid.

Abstract: Systems and methods for dynamic recognition feedback acquisition are discussed. A recognition feedback acquisition system acquires information from the short-range communication device of associated with an individual by reading the short-range communication device and generates recognition information regarding the individual that includes the acquired tag information. The recognition feedback acquisition system further assigns a value to the received recognition information, aggregates the assigned value for the individual to update a recognition status, and transmits data regarding the updated recognition status to a device associated with the individual.

Abstract: Spoken language localization systems and methods are described. A spoken language localization system receives samples from one or more audio sensors that detect speech of an opted-in individual in proximity to a computing device, parses the samples, identifies the parsed samples as an identified language using the language rules engine and at least one language database, determines whether the identified language corresponds to a language listed in a user account, and automatically localizes the application to the identified language on the computing device based on determining that the identified language corresponds to a language listed in a user account of a user associated with the computing device.

Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for evaluating shopping cart wheels using a sensor module or one or more microphones engaged with the shopping cart. The microphones can be used to detect sounds generated by the wheels of the shopping cart. A sound signature can be determined from the detected sound and compared to sound signatures in a database. If the detected sound indicates that a wheel of the shopping cart is failing, an alert can be generated using an associate alert system.

Abstract: Methodologies, systems, and computer-readable media are provided for containing fluid from an overflowing toilet. An annular fluid containment basin is located near the base of a toilet and is configured to encircle the base of the toilet and collect fluid flowing down the exterior surface of the toilet. A moisture sensor is located within the annular fluid containment basin and configured to sense a spill. A drain is also located within the annular fluid containment basin to direct fluid to bypass an S-bend or trap connected to the toilet.

Abstract: Methodologies, systems, and computer-readable media are provided for relocating pallets and receptacles. A shipping motor vehicle has a weight sensor within a cargo area that measures a weight of a pallet or a receptacle. A location sensor located within the cargo area identifies available storage locations within the cargo area, and a computing device equipped with a processor computes a destination location within the cargo area for the pallet or receptacle based, at least in part, on the weight of the pallet or receptacle measured by the weight sensor. An internal conveyor system located within the shipping motor vehicle receives the pallet or receptacle from an external conveyor system and automatically relocates the pallet or receptacle to the destination location within the cargo area.
