Provided is a system for facilitating secure delivery of products and/or services to a user, including fraud prevention. The system includes a plurality of agents, a network of Trusted Delivery Agents (TDAs) selected from the plurality of agents proximate to a delivery location of the user, a network of Trusted Financial Agents (TFAs) selected from a group of financial institutions, and an information sharing module configured to enable delivery of multi-dimensional information including TDA IDs to one or more agents of the plurality of agents. Each agent of the plurality of agents maintains the multi-dimensional information as pre-computed knowledge/experience and propagates the pre-computed knowledge/experience to one or more neighboring agents of the plurality of agents. A TFA selected by the user is configured to carry out financial transactions/services between the user and one or more agents on behalf of the user.

A packaging and shipping system for dry charged batteries. The packaging system includes a shipping crate having a lower section that defines an open interior. The open interior is sized to receive a dry charged battery and a plurality of electrolyte bottles. Each of the electrolyte bottles contains a volume of electrolyte sufficient to fill one of the individual cells of the dry charged battery. Each of the electrolyte bottles are separately packaged and positioned within the open interior of the shipping crate. Upon reaching the desired destination, the shipping crate can be stored. When the dry charged battery is to be placed into use, the shipping crate is opened and the individual cells of the dry charged battery are filled with electrolyte from the plurality of electrolyte bottles. Once the dry charged battery has been activated, the empty electrolyte bottles can be placed back into the shipping crate and returned for recycling.

A modular cargo storage system (CSS) is described for use on a base platform of a modular autonomous bot apparatus that transports an item being shipped. The modular CSS includes a set of folding structural walls, an interlocking alignment interface on at least one of the walls, and a modular component power and data transport bus. The walls at least partially enclose a payload area above the base platform. The interlocking alignment interface has a set of latches and a locking handle coupled to the set of latches that actuates the latches to interlock with the base platform. The power and data transport bus have top and bottom side modular component electronics interfaces where each interface has a power conduit outlet and a command and data communication interface.

A portable information handling system modular hybrid architecture separates components between rotationally coupled housing portions to minimize cabling, connectors and materials, and to provide improved durability that supports recycling and reuse of the components. For example, a plurality of main board configurations provide selectable performance characteristics assembled behind a display in one housing portion and powered by a battery and charger in the other housing portion. A secondary board that supports the charger provides a variety of customizable secondary functions, such as audio processing supported by integrated speakers, a keyboard interfaced with an embedded controller and held by a housing cover.

End users subscribe to use information handling systems having a selected of available performance characteristics defined by plural components selected to build the information handling systems. A manufacturer meets subscriptions with information handling systems built from an inventory of new components, deployed components of information handling system is use by subscribers, and separated components taken from returned information handling systems and re-used. End user subscriptions are met in part by building information handling systems with separated components having a useful life remaining that aligns with end user usage patterns tracked over time.

A computer-implemented method for managing data associated with wearable articles for an electronic transactions platform includes receiving wearable article data describing wearable articles made available for physical shipment to users via electronic interactions; generating a user interface and causing display of the user interface depicting one or more of the wearable articles; receiving a selection of a wearable article of the displayed one or more wearable articles via the user interface; determining a listed amount for the selected wearable article; determining a borrow period to borrow the selected wearable article and a borrow amount at least based on the determined listed amount to borrow the selected wearable article during the borrow period; determining a daily amount to keep the borrowed wearable article; and monitoring the borrowed wearable article to determine whether a return notification for the borrowed wearable article has been received within the borrow period.

A method and system for fulfilling customer orders having a data base that is adapted to store a plurality of customer orders and identity of warehouse inventory items and return inventory items that make up each of the customer orders. Some of the orders are single item orders with only one inventory item assigned to that order. Some of the orders are multiple item orders with multiple inventory items assigned to that order. Returned items that are processed and determined to be acceptable to be re-distributed are re-introduced into the inventory data base and are available to be assigned to an order. Warehouse inventory and return inventory are maintained independent of each other to reduce redundant operations. The order fulfilment system retrieves items from either or both of the warehouse inventory and return inventory to fulfil customer orders. The order fulfilment system may utilizes human associates or robot associates.
