Publication number: 20140346218Abstract: A three-pronged box flap closure device is provided for securing together three box flaps of a moving box or carton without the use of adhesive tape or overlapping the box flaps to secure the same together. One or more closure devices are contemplated for each box end, wherein each closure device comprises a first and second upper prong member forming a substantial V-shape with a common apex. A third prong member extends from the apex and between the first and second prong members, wherein the third prong member is disposed below the plane created by the first and second prong members. The first and second prong members are adapted to be positioned over a pair of aligned box flaps, while the lower prong member extends beneath a third, undermost box flap below the aligned box flaps, thereby sandwiching the three box flaps together along one side of the box end.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 16, 2014Publication date: November 27, 2014Inventor: Stephen Sublett

Publication number: 20140346222Abstract: Systems and methods for generating, by an electronic circuit of a mobile device, a form for display on the mobile device for a user to input sample collection data are provided. The form includes one or more data input fields, and the electronic circuit performs the steps of accepting input of data regarding sample collection to the one or more data input fields by a user from an input control of the mobile device, and sending input data information to a server in communication with the mobile device. Additionally, a pre-existing or new form definition file containing a template describing the information to be displayed on the form and characteristics of one or more data input field of the form may be accessed or generated, and displayed onto the display. Management of forms, reports, and form definition files are also provided for, including uploading to a server.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 15, 2013Publication date: November 27, 2014Inventor: Justin P.

Publication number: 20140346223Abstract: Imaging, attribution, and 3D modeling of utility pipelines and other assets is accomplished through the processing of terrestrial photogrammetric, aerial photogrammetric, and/or 3D LiDAR scanning measurements, all of which may be augmented by an Inertial Measurement Unit. These measurements are spatially controlled by photo-identifiable targets whose positions are established by real-time or post-processed GPS measurements which, in turn, determine the relative and absolute positions of the resulting 3D model. The necessary attribute information is available the moment an optically readable code is affixed to the asset. All proposed data collection methods provide imagery and point clouds systematically. It is therefore possible to read the attributes encoded in the optically readable code directly from the imagery or point cloud. Both the attributes of the feature and the position of the encoded attributes on the feature are captured.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 8, 2014Publication date: November 27, 2014Inventor: Jan Lee Van Sickle

Publication number: 20140346225Abstract: According to some embodiments, a business bar code application may execute at a mobile user device associated with a user. The user may initiate a capture of an image of a bar code, and responsive to said capturing, information about the user may be automatically fetched. Information associated with the bar code may be transmitted to a remote business bar code server. The business bar code server may automatically determine a business model associated with the received bar code information and interact with an enterprise system to execute a business process workflow for the user in accordance with the determined business model.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 21, 2013Publication date: November 27, 2014Inventors: Guy Soffer, Michal Keidar

Publication number: 20140346227Abstract: A POS system checks for radioactive contamination of products without increasing any personnel workload. The POS system includes: a storage means for storing a product code and a radioactivity threshold defined for each product code in association with each other; a barcode scanner; a radioactivity measurement part for measuring radioactivity of a product based on a radiation dose emitted from the product; a comparison means for comparing a radioactivity threshold associated with the product code read by the barcode scanner with a radioactivity measurement value measured by the radioactivity measurement part; and alarm an output means for outputting an alarm when the radioactivity measurement value exceeds the radioactivity threshold. The radioactivity measurement part is arranged at such a position that, when the product exists at a scanning position (A) where the product code is read with the barcode scanner, the radioactivity measurement part detects the radioactivity of the product.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 29, 2012Publication date: November 27, 2014Inventor: Hiroyuki Takane
