  • Patent number: 11896144
    Abstract: A counting device bears a visually distinct pattern or marking, and is coupled to a pusher or other movable system of a shelf in a manner that causes the counting device to rotate in response to changes in position of the pusher. When items are placed on a shelf, or removed from the shelf, causing the pusher to move, the pattern on the counting device rotates at an angle defined by an extent of the movement of the pusher. Images captured of the counting device at various times may be processed to determine orientations of the pattern at such times. Where a change in an orientation of a pattern is detected, a number of items added to or removed from a shelf may be calculated based on the change in orientation and an event involving the number of items may be determined to have occurred.

  • Patent number: 11896152
    Abstract: An easily foldable fitted sheet is disclosed, made of a flat top section with a backside of fabric flat against a backside of the flat bottom section joined together at their outlining edges. The flat top section is an inelastic rectangular sheet of fabric sewn all around at the outlining edges to the flat bottom section which is an elastic rectangular frame of fabric with no middle center and only one seam. The top portion can be made of an elastic material. When the fitted sheet's flat bottom section is stretched over any mattress it forms the side panels giving a tight fit and grips the underside of the mattress with the silicone beading or strip that is adhered to the inside edge of the bottom section. When the sheet is released from the mattress the bottom section's elastic material retains its flat rectangular shape and lies flat for ease of folding and storage.
