  • Publication number: 20240070637
    Abstract: A computing device retrieves a stabilized weight and a weight-based item count for one or more items to be purchased. Responsive to retrieving the stabilized weight, the computing device retrieves an image-based item count and an expected weight based on the image-based item count for the one or more items to be purchased. The computing device selects between authorizing and blocking checkout of the one or more items based on the weight-based item count, the image-based item count, the stabilized weight, and the expected weight.

  • Patent number: 11022684
    Abstract: Various implementations directed to alert zones for a marine environment. In one implementation, a marine electronics device may include a memory having a plurality of program instructions which, when executed by the sonar signal processor, cause the processor to determine one or more alert zones for a marine environment proximate to a vessel, and to receive sonar data from a transducer array disposed on the vessel, where the sonar data corresponds to the marine environment. The memory may further have program instructions which, when executed by the sonar signal processor, cause the processor to analyze the received sonar data to determine a depth line, where the depth line is a representation of one or more depths of an underwater floor of the marine environment, and to provide one or more alerts if at least a portion of the depth line is positioned within the one or more alert zones.

  • Patent number: 9846038
    Abstract: Described herein are implementations of various technologies for an apparatus and method for providing navigation data. In one implementation, a non-transitory computer-readable medium having stored thereon a plurality of computer-executable instructions. When the plurality of computer-executable instructions are executed by a computer, the plurality of executable instructions causes the computer to receive a user selection of a plurality of points of navigation data and receive a user selection of a geographical region. The computer can select at least a portion of the plurality of the points of the navigation data that are in the geographical region.

  • Patent number: 7174662
    Abstract: The invention pertains to an ironing board pad with a top and bottom layer of cloth, which attaches to any standard size ironing board. There are elastic straps at the wide end of the pad, and a sleeve-like nose for attachment at the narrow end of the ironing board. Each of the two layers of the pad is inundated with a combination of corn starch, borax, processing aids, preservatives, ironing aid and perfume. Thus, a person is able to simply place the article of clothing between these layers and use a steam producing iron to get clothing carefully starched, without the use of an awkward spray starch can.
