| 20100013933 | Adaptive surveillance network and method - A plurality of modules interact to form an adaptive network in which each module transmits and receives data signals indicative of proximity of objects. A central computer accumulates the data produced or received and relayed by each module for analyzing proximity responses to transmit through the adaptive network control signals to a selectively-addressed module to respond to computer analyses of the data accumulated from modules forming the adaptive network. Interactions of local processors in modules that sense an intrusion determine the location and path of movements of the intruding object and control cameras in the modules to retrieve video images of the intruding object. | 01-21-2010 |

| 20120031548 | Apparatus and Method for Applying a Label to a Non-ruled Surface - Apparatus for applying a label to a non-ruled surface. The apparatus comprises a label supply element, an array of label conformation pallets, a pressure source, and an array of target-object presentation stations. The label supply element comprises a peel tip disposed adjacent to a carrier film path and a label path diverging from the carrier film path at the peel tip. The array of label conformation pallets is constrained to circumnavigate a pallet path. Each pallet comprises a shell defining a cavity associated with a predefined shape of a non-ruled surface of a target object and having a perimeter, and a flexible membrane occluding the cavity along the perimeter. The target-object presentation stations are adapted to hold individual target objects and constrained to circumnavigate a target-object path, a portion of the target-object path disposed adjacent to the pallet path. | 02-09-2012 |
