Abstract: A method, computer program product and system are provided to enable communication between a browser on a user device, such as a mobile device or personal computer, and a local device, such as a printer. A host system may provide a host web application for generating data for display by a browser, and may also integrate with an application programming interface (API) to embed code into the host web application such that when executed by the browser, enables the communication between the browser and a local device communication application. The local device communication application may then control communication to the local device, such as causing the data to be printed on a printer. The provided methods may be implemented independently of the browser type and/or operating system type.

Abstract: Scanning assemblies are disclosed herein. An example scanning assembly includes a slot scanner and a mounting system. The slot scanner includes an imaging assembly configured to capture an image frame appearing in a field of view (FOV) and a housing having a cavity configured to accommodate the imaging assembly. The mounting system includes a flange member at least partially surrounding an opening formed within the mounting system, and at least two support arms extending from the flange. The at least two support arms engage a portion of the housing of the slot scanner to retain the slot scanner within the opening formed by the flange.

Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for providing customer initiated services to a mounted user interface device in a retail environment. At a user interface device, a customer scans an object missing a barcode or label, and the interface device connects to a remote customer service platform configured to detect the object and return to the interface device barcode data for the object, where a corresponding label is printed with the returned data. The user interface device may be automatically connected to a remote agent based on anonymized user data or based on scanned object data for providing particularly customized user services, such as explanations on how to use the object.

Abstract: A method and system for performing three dimensional imaging and determining a physical dimension of a target includes capturing, by an imaging system, first and second images of a target with each image obtained at a different perspective of the target. A processor generates first and second point clouds corresponding to the target, from the first and second images. The processor identifies a position and orientation of a reference feature of the target from first and second images, and the processor performs point cloud stitching to combine the first point cloud and the second point cloud to form a merged point cloud. The point cloud stitching is performed according to the orientation and position of the reference feature in each of the first and second point clouds. The processor identifies and removes noisy data points in the merged point cloud to form an aggregated point cloud.

Abstract: Methods and systems for facilitating selection of tools for one or more machine vision jobs are disclosed herein. An example method may be performed by one or more processors and includes displaying, via a display screen, an interactive graphical user interface (GUI) of an application, the application configured to generate job scripts for imaging devices to execute and the application operating in a job construction mode. The method also includes displaying an image within the GUI and detecting a selection of a portion of the image. The method further includes analyzing the portion of the image to determine a corresponding tool for processing the portion of the image and displaying, within the interactive GUI, a user-selectable option to add the corresponding tool to a machine vision job.

Abstract: The disclosure is an antenna device, comprising a substrate layer and a patch antenna assembly on the substrate layer, configured to contain at least one patch antenna element. Each patch antenna element has a feed insertion cutout and a base cutout, where a feed line extending from a feed point on the substrate layer couples to the antenna element in the feed insertion cutout. Each patch antenna element corresponds to a respective parasitic patch element, positioned above the patch antenna element, and a respective capacitive loading element, positioned on the feed line and proximate to the patch antenna element, to improve the performance of the antenna device. Each parasitic pat antenna is larger than its respective patch antenna element. The antenna device may also include a mounting structure to position each parasitic patch element over each patch antenna element.

Abstract: Devices, systems, and methods for weight-based tracking and pricing of consumer goods. The devices, systems, and methods may include detecting, by a scale device, a first change in weight of a display area; capturing, by a first imaging camera, a first image featuring the display area; detecting, by one or more processors, a first object in the first image; identifying, by the one or more processors, the first object; associating, by the one or more processors, the detected first change in weight with the identified first object to determine a transaction value associated with the identified first object based upon the detected first change in weight; and displaying, by a display device, a rendition of the display area, the rendition containing a representation of the first object and the transaction value.

Abstract: Systems and methods for method for predicting a required number of point of sale (POS) stations to accommodate a number of customers are disclosed herein. An example method includes analyzing image data to determine (i) a set of customer data and (ii) a cart occupancy value associated with the customers, and generating, utilizing a machine learning (ML) algorithm, a first value based on the set of customer data and the cart occupancy value associated with the customers. The ML algorithm may be trained using a plurality of training data including a plurality of training customer data and a plurality of training cart occupancy values. The example method further includes determining whether the first value exceeds a second value, and responsive to determining that the first value exceeds the second value, generating an alert for transmission to a device indicating that the first value exceeds the second value.
