A cardholder sleeve with selectable wireless communication capabilities is described. The cardholder sleeve includes two or more slots each configured to hold an integrated chip card. Each of the slots is surrounded by shielding material to shield the communication features of the card from skimming and prevent interference with other cards in the sleeve. The cardholder sleeve includes an internal card reader for each of the cards and a selection mechanism that enables a user to select a card in the cardholder sleeve for use. The cardholder sleeve further includes at least one transceiver in communication with the internal card readers that operates as a repeater to wirelessly transmit information read from the chip of the selected card by the respective internal card reader to external card readers such that the selected card need not be removed from the sleeve to be used.

An infusion pump system and method provide concurrent infusion with common line auto flush. The infusion pump system has a first reservoir, a second reservoir, a junction, a mixing chamber, a common line having one end in fluid connection with the mixing chamber and having a terminal fluid delivery end, and an infusion pump. The method includes infusing the first fluid at a first rate along a first flow path; determining a common line flush volume value for the common line; switching to a concurrent infusion mode to drive a combination of the first fluid and the second fluid at the first rate along a second flow path including the common line; monitoring a volume of the combination of the first and second fluids driven at the first rate; and driving the combination of the first and second fluids at a combined rate along the second flow path when the monitored volume is equal to or greater than the common line flush volume value.

Embodiments of the present disclosure generally relate to a wireless identification tag configured to collect and store ambient energy for use in delayed transmission, and system and methods for use thereof. In one implementation, the tag may include a receiver for receiving ambient energy; a first capacitor for storing the ambient energy; and a second capacitor for collecting and storing the ambient energy. The second capacitor may have lower capacitance than the first capacitor. The tag may also include an inductor interconnecting the first capacitor and the second capacitor. The tag may also include circuitry configured such that ambient energy received by the receiver is initially stored in the second capacitor and subsequently transferred to and stored in the first capacitor. The tag may also include a transmitter electrically connected to first capacitor, to enable the energy stored in the first capacitor to power the transmitter.

According to one aspect, a platform for providing at least one item to a customer is disclosed. The platform includes an autonomous, semi-autonomous, or fully autonomous vehicle that includes at least one compartment configured to contain a first item ordered by the customer and to contain a second item not ordered by the customer. The platform further includes an application including an ordering module configured to obtain an order from the customer that includes the first item, and a release detection module configured to determine when the first item has been removed from the at least one compartment and configured to determine when the second item has been removed from the at least one compartment. In one embodiment, the second item is predicted using a machine learning algorithm.

A method, computer program product, and system includes a processor(s) obtaining a signal from an implanted device within a given vicinity of the one or more processors. The processor(s) identifies a device that when active, has a pre-defined probability of impacting regular functionality of the implanted device. The processor(s) determines coordinates of a perimeter around the device, where the pre-defined probability of the device impacting the regular functionality of the implanted device is realized inside the perimeter. The processor(s) generate a geofence boundary around the device. The processor(s) initiate an action to decrease the pre-defined probability of the device impacting the regular functionality of the implanted device.

The present invention relates to a locker and system for secured delivery of goods to consumer wherein the locker may be 1) positioned within a building or home such that one door is accessible outside the building or home and a second door is accessible within the building or home; 2) positioned on a property, potentially near a curbside and accessible to a delivery vehicle from a street; or 3) positioned at a commercial location such that one door is accessible to the public and a second door is accessible to the workers at the commercial location. Delivery may occur via drone or human with selected access given to the designated locker door. In accordance with the foregoing objects, an embodiment of the present invention generally comprises a service provider, a service client, an operator (seller or inspector), an end user (buyer or end user), and at least one chamber having at least one remotely controlled electronic door in communication with a service provider, service client, and/or operator.

Novel modular smart management devices in the form of drop safes include the modular components of a chassis, door and technology cabinet. The drop safes enable retailers to make cash deposits quickly and safely within or near their own facilities. Various technology, including RFID readers, RFID tags, and other equipment allow the drop safes to identify each deposited bag. Employees utilize specialized apps on their mobile devices to facilitate deposit creation and other tasks. Novel methodologies for accessing the drop safes for emptying employ single-use, time-expiration type authorization codes along with other security measures to minimize risk and to provide other benefits. Novel structures along with methodologies for replacing, on-site, modular components with auto-detection of functionality during initialization and re-initialization enables for efficient replacement and upgrading of components, including the upgrading of safes to provide additional functionality.

Methods, systems, and computing devices for determining a price of a good during a time period are described. The method includes scanning, via a scanner coupled to a computing device or a server, a readable identification tag affixed to the good and querying the computing device or the server to identify, from the readable identification tag, the good and information associated with the good. The information comprises one or more price-calculation factors assigned to the good. The method further includes applying an algorithm of a dynamic pricing engine to the identified good to: calculate a price of the good and modify the calculated price of the good to optimize a target function. The optimization depends on the one or more price-calculation factors. The method further includes transmitting the optimized price of the good to a display for display to a customer.

The invention provides a system to physically dispense an item, including tangible items and/or services or features, on-site from a dispenser whereby the item to be dispensed is selected by the system based on user-specific or item-specific information. In an embodiment, the system selects the dispensed item based on both user-specific and item-specific information. In another embodiment the invention comprises a system that activates gaming features in a gaming device based on user-specific information. In another embodiment, the invention comprises a system incorporated into an interactive amusement system to activate features of a playfield based on user-specific information.

A container having a compactor and bin for waste is disclosed permitting on-premises and remote monitoring of the system and collection is disclosed. The system can also detect non-complaint materials placed therein and act thereon. Methods are further disclosed for inventorying identification tags for tracking packages, merchandise and tags disposed of.
