Methods and apparatus for organizing items according to various aspects of the present invention may comprise a hanger tag system to convey information relating to an item on a hanger. The hanger tag system may comprise, for example, a mount connected to the hanger and an information medium mounted on the mount, wherein the information medium provides information relating to the item. In various embodiments, the hanger tag system further comprises a connector configured to connect the mount to the hanger. In various embodiments, the information medium comprises a labeling surface.

The system contains at least two elongated feet attached to a wall of the sterilization case. Each of the feet is approximately parallel to the wall of the sterilization case and attached to the wall. At least one leg is integral with each of the elongated feet. At least one retaining element extends from each of the legs.

Systems and methods for using, configuring, and manufacturing self-obscuring tamper-evident labels can include producing labels that have adhesive and non-adhesive sides. The non-adhesive side can be configured to receive printing such as machine-readable codes. The labels typically have multiple layers which can be configured for various tasks. For example, one layer can be configured as an irreversible void material that generates indicia upon receiving a certain tension associated with removal from a surface. Another layer may be configured to ease the removal of the label from a surface while another generates deformations under tension. The indicia, deformations, and machine-readable code printed on the non-adhesive side can be configured such that when activated, the indicia render the machine-readable code unreadable via machine. These labels can be utilized as security labels designed to indicate prior removal as well as other applications that can benefit from quick removal and prior removal indication.

Systems and methods for operating a digital display board are provided. The display board may be placed in a retailer, such as a home improvement store, a tile store, or a hardware store, at or near a location where tile is displayed for purchase. The display board may be thought of as a virtual tile board and may be programmed to display information about the tile that is available at the associated retailer. The tile that is featured on the display board may be based on real-time inventory information provided by the tile manufacturer or retailer, as well as based on any promotions being offered by the manufacturer or retailer. In addition, the retailer may provide retailer-specific branding or other information that may be displayed along with the tile information.

Wavelength-selective films are visibly apparent under the selective wavelength. Wavelength-selective films typically reflect off axis the selected wavelength and therefore can provide high-contrast against a background when applied in a pattern on a substrate. However, it is difficult to apply unique patterned embedded images from film. Disclosed is a cost-effective method and construction of a patterned wavelength-selective image to a substrate. In the disclosed wavelength-selective image, wavelength-selective film particles are applied to an adhesive pattern to create the wavelength-selective image.

A sensor-augmented two-dimensional barcode includes a layer provided on a substrate comprising a two-dimensional error-correcting barcode symbol. The bar code symbol further includes a barcode region, an empty region, and a dynamic region. The barcode region includes a plurality of modules in a static color state and the empty region has an area. Additionally, the dynamic region is provided on the substrate and positioned within the area of the empty region. The dynamic region includes a dynamic indicator having a chemistry that is configured, responsive to the occurrence of an environmental condition, to undergo a chemical or physical state change between an initial state and an end state, causing a change in the color state of the dynamic indicator. Additionally, the color state indicates exposure to the environmental condition.
