A computer-implemented method for automatically orienting product containers includes acquiring a reference product label image associated with a batch of product containers on a production line and using a trained deep learning model to compute a perceptual center of the reference product label image based on perceptually relevant label features of the reference product label image. A production line camera acquires an image slice of the respective product label of individual product containers in the batch of product containers. A rotation angle for rotating an individual product container is computed based on the acquired image slice of the respective product label and a label center determined based on the computed perceptual center of the reference product label image. The computed rotation angle is communicated to a controller to effect a rotation of the individual product container.

An improved package for core-less rolls of bags provides a shrink-wrap film around the bag having differential shrinkage to better accommodate the roll form.

Center-pull bag dispenser without separate end-forms

A dispensing package for plastic bags provides a core-less roll supporting on its outer surface a shrink-wrap sleeve providing the walls of the package. Upper and lower end forms being relatively more rigid than the shrink-wrap sleeve may be placed against the upper and lower edges of the core-less roll to provide improved robustness in shipping and package aesthetics.

A platform less center of mass measurement system employs independently positionable load cell units whose locations can be identified and combined with load cell measurements to compute a center of mass for arbitrarily shaped large structures without the need for precise or predetermined locating of the load cell units on a platform or the like.

A twist tie and dispensing system provides for the dispensing of single twist ties attached together end-to-end in a semi continuous ribbon having spaced separation points that permit separation of individual twist ties at a predetermined tension. Twist ties may be dispensed through an aperture that engages with obstructions placed periodically on the ribbon to cause pulling of the twist tie through the aperture to impart the necessary separating tension when the obstruction is reached so that one twist tie at a time may be dispensed.

A method of providing crime risk data in the absence or partial absence of officially reported data uses a scoring system based on images of locations within particular regions where crime data is to be assessed. The collected crime data may be normalized to actual crime data were both exist to calibrate the proxy crime data derived from the images.

Produce bags are delivered with less waste and in more sanitary condition through a container holding a roll of bags having overlapping but separate ends. Adhesion between the bags and ultimate separation of the bags may be flexibly controlled with an interfolding of the bags and control of an orifice which applies drag to the bags and compression as they are removed.
