Abstract: There are provided systems and methods relating to checking and confirming merchandise purchased at shopping facilities. In one form, the system includes: a shopping cart containing merchandise items to be purchased; a sales transaction database; a point-of-sales system that creates transaction records identified by transaction identifiers; and a mobile device used by an employee that includes a sensor to scan a paper or digital receipt to obtain the transaction identifier and a camera to capture images of the items in the shopping cart. The system also includes a control circuit that receives the transaction identifier, accesses the database using the identifier to determine the purchased items; analyzes the images of the merchandise items in the shopping cart and creates a computer vision receipt listing detected items; compares the purchased items with the detected items; and takes an action if there is a discrepancy.

Abstract: A transaction record is created showing a purchase transaction of a customer. A CV profile showing a list of items in the transaction obtained from images is also obtained. The items in the transaction record are compared to items on the list. When there is a discrepancy, an action to take is determined.

Abstract: An epitaxial structure for a high-electron-mobility transistor includes a substrate, a nucleation layer, a buffer layered unit, a channel layer, and a barrier layer sequentially stacked on one another in such order. The buffer layered unit includes a plurality of p-i-n heterojunction stacks. Each of the p-i-n heterojunction stacks includes p-type, i-type, and n-type layers which are made of materials respectively represented by chemical formulas of AlxGa(1-x)N, AlyGa(1-y)N, and AlzGa(1-z)N. For each of the p-i-n heterojunction stacks, x decreases and z increases along a direction away from the nucleation layer, and y is consistent and ranges from 0 to 0.7.

Abstract: An epitaxial structure for a high-electron-mobility transistor includes a substrate, a nucleation layer, a buffer layered unit, a channel layer, and a barrier layer sequentially stacked on one another in such order. The buffer layered unit includes at least one multiple quantum well structure containing a plurality of p-i-n heterojunction stacks. Each of the p-i-n heterojunction stacks includes p-type, i-type, and n-type layers which are alternately stacked along a direction away from the nucleation layer, and which are made of materials respectively represented by chemical formulas of AlxGa(1-x)N, AlyGa(1-y)N, and AlzGa(1-z)N. For each of the p-i-n heterojunction stacks, x gradually decreases and z gradually increases along the direction away from the nucleation layer, and y is consistent and ranges from 0 to 0.7.
