Abstract: An automated retail store system for providing automated storage of multiple items and scheduled handling of a customer order for said items at a single retail site, including: a store control system adapted to operate under the control of control signals generated based on order information for an order by a customer, said order information including information representing one or more items and a pickup time; a plurality of storage channels for storing different respective items; a retrieval system adapted to operate under the control of said store control system to: retrieve a plurality of said items in said order information from said channels, and place a plurality of said retrieved items into a delivery container; a conveyor system adapted to operate under the control of said store control system to: move said delivery container to either a storage rack or a locker compartment based on said pickup time, and move said delivery container from said storage rack to an available said locker compartment base

Abstract: A system and method for Micro Electro Mechanical System (MEMS) device characterization. The system comprising a stimulator for stimulating the device to generate phonons in the device; a detector for detecting the generated phonons; a converter for converting the phonons into a signal representative of displacement of a MEMS component of the device.
