A locker assembly insert (10) for a cabinet (11) (shown in phantom). In this case the cabinet (11) is a two door cabinet having a first door (12) and a second door (13) (these doors are shown open in FIG. 4), The cabinet has a base (14) opposite sides (15) (and 16), a back (17) and a top (18). A central mullion (19) having a rear cover plate divides the cabinet (11) down the middle and the doors (12) and (13) close the cabinet. The locker assembly insert (10) in this case is applied to a two door cabinet and has a central support member (20) (which is put in place by first removing the rear cover plate behind the central mullion (19), the rear cover plate is tucked in behind the central support member (20) before assembly allowing it to be reused if the refrigerator is ever restored to its original condition), a pair of vertical side rails (21) and (22), a pair of bases (23) and (24), a pair of tops (25) and (26). This gives the basic door frame. The insert is completed using vertical divider sets (27, 28 and 29) and ten door locker door assemblies (30) and (31).

A conveniently enabled securement system including a portable encasement such as a backpack having locking and security features. The portable secure encasement is configured for transporting goods from place to place while ensuring their security throughout, while having a simple and efficient configuration for securing the contents within the encasement and optionally for securing the encasement itself at each location travelled to.

The application describes generation of a data structure that enables comparison of any diamond to any other diamond. The data structure is generated via a sampling process and a computer system for acquisition of diamonds of a valid statistical sample having a predefined sample size. The process comprises tabulating the frequencies that diamonds of various grade combinations are available in an overall population of diamonds, then using a bidding process described herein to acquire a valid statistical sample of diamonds. The data for the sample of diamonds are then inputted into a Linear Programming and Mixed-Integer optimizer configured to sort all diamonds of the sample into sets with a median that is a minimal distance from the median on a scarcity basis, subject to various constraints, such as the number of diamonds in each set and a minimum total carat weight.

Embodiments pertain to a storage system for securely storing a plurality of garment bags in a publicly accessible area, comprising: at least one frame structure, wherein the at least one frame structure comprises a plurality of item hanging hardware mechanisms for receiving items for storage, and a plurality of garment bags comprising receptacles that are non-removably coupled, in a suspending manner, from the frame structure, and fasteners for opening and closing the respective receptacles, wherein each one of the fasteners operably cooperates with a lock mechanism of the storage system for selectively securing the fastener in a closed position and for unsecuring the fastener for allowing the fastener to be set from the closed into an open position; an alarm system that is operably coupled with the plurality of receptacles and, when armed, provides an output responsive to detecting that the structural integrity of the receptacle is compromised; and an output module to indicate a user located in the publicly accessible area which one of the garment bags have an item stored therein and which not, to indicate to the user which of the plurality of item storage devices is available for storing items therein.

A secure package receptacle for receiving a package. The receptacle comprises a storage area to receive the package. The storage area adopts at least the following statuses: free, in which the storage area is accessible and ready to receive the package; locked, in which the storage area is inaccessible; and reset, in which the storage area is accessible and ready to retrieve the package. A change in status of the storage area is determined based the current status and on the sensing of the opening and closing of a lockable door providing or preventing access to the storage area.

A method for granting an access authorization for luggage compartments of a vehicle that has at least two luggage compartments, includes booking of a luggage compartment for a journey of the vehicle. At least one of the luggage compartments of the vehicle is assigned to the passenger via a central computing unit such that the passenger receives an access authorization. A request for granting a release of the at least one luggage compartment assigned to the passenger is input into a device. The access authorization of a person inputting the request is checked via a computing unit inside of the vehicle and/or the central computing unit. If checking by the computing unit, the computing unit obtains access authorization data from the central computing unit. If the person inputting the request is authorized, the at least one luggage compartment assigned to the passenger is released.
