Abstract: Systems and methods for detecting potential shrink events via RFID technology are provided. The systems include a point of sale (POS) system that includes an optical scanner, an RFID transceiver arrangement, a user interface and a controller. The controller is configured to perform example methods disclosed herein. For example, the controller may detect that the optical scanner has decoded a barcode, trigger the RFID transceiver arrangement to write a data string to an RFID tag located within the object scanning area, conduct a detection operation to detect the RFID tag with the data string in the bagging area. Responsive to detecting the RFID tag with the data string, the method involves the user interface performing a first operation. Responsive to not detecting the RFID tag with the data string, the method involves the user interface performing a second operation.

Abstract: In some implementations, a query management system may receive an access notification associated with the data source. The query management system may analyze the data source to determine a query parameter that is associated with the data source. The query management system may determine a reliability score for the query parameter based on at least one of: source data of the data source, and other source data associated with one or more other data sources. The query management system may configure, based on the reliability score satisfying a reliability threshold, a communication interface with the data source. The query management system may integrate the data source for use with the virtual assistant in accordance with the reliability score, the query parameter, and the communication interface.

Abstract: A method for detecting and dimensioning a target object includes: obtaining depth data representing a target object; defining a mask having a structure which decreases in density away from a central point of the mask; overlaying the mask on the depth data and selecting a subset of the depth data comprising data points which contact the mask; detecting a cluster of data points from the subset; detecting, based on the cluster, the target object; and outputting a representation of the target object.

Abstract: A kiosk includes a kiosk housing, a barcode reader, a receipt printer, a display unit, and a processor communicatively coupled to the barcode reader, receipt printer, and display unit. The kiosk has a width less than or equal to 6 ¾ inches and the barcode reader, receipt printer, and processor are within the kiosk housing. The barcode reader has a reader housing, an imaging assembly, a window configured to allow a light to pass between a product scanning region and an interior region of the reader housing, and a set of optical components configured to direct a field-of-view of the imaging assembly through the window.

Abstract: Methods and devices for determining a load vector on an object are disclosed herein. An example method includes collecting location observations related to the object. The example method further includes filtering the location observations to determine an estimated model path. The example method further includes outputting a set of data from the estimated model path, wherein the set of data includes a model location, a model velocity, a model acceleration, and a model jerk. The example method further includes calculating a load vector from the set of data, scaling the load vector via a scaling index, and transmitting the scaled load vector to a remote device.

Abstract: A method of auxiliary data capture control includes: storing, at a data capture device, (i) detection criteria corresponding to events having respective event identifiers; and (ii) a registration indicator associated with at least one of the event identifiers; controlling a primary data capture sensor to obtain primary captured data; in response to detecting, based on the primary captured data, that the detection criteria are satisfied for a detected one of the event identifiers, determining whether the registration indicator is associated with the detected event identifier; and when the registration indicator is associated with the detected event identifier, controlling an auxiliary data capture sensor to obtain auxiliary captured data.

Abstract: An optical assembly for an autofocus imaging system for capturing at least one image of an object appearing in an imaging field of view (FOV) is provided. The optical assembly includes a front aperture along an optical axis and a front lens group along the optical axis that receives light from the object of interest. The position of the front lens group is adjustable to change a focal distance of the optical assembly. The optical assembly further includes an actuator physically coupled to the front lens group that adjusts the position of the front lens. A rear lens group is disposed along the optical axis to receive the light from the front lens group, and an imaging sensor is disposed at a back focal distance of the rear lens group, to detect the light.
