An inventory holder assembly can include a fabric sleeve and a drawer bin assembly. The fabric sleeve can be installed on a frame. The fabric sleeve can include multiple compartments, where each compartment includes a set of mounts couplable with interchangeable bin structures. The drawer bin assembly can coupled to a subset of mounts of a compartment of the fabric sleeve. The drawer bin assembly can include a drawer bin biased, via a biaser, to extend more than halfway (or fully) out from the compartment of the fabric sleeve to achieve an open state. Also, the drawer bin can be pushed against the biaser to stow away and lock in place within the compartment.

Adjustable package flow stop wall systems and associated methods may operate as part of package processing stations, in order to facilitate accumulation and transfer of packages from inbound collection areas to outbound conveyances. For example, an adjustable package flow stop wall may include a wall assembly, a frame assembly, a pedal assembly, and/or a handle assembly. The wall assembly may selectively extend above the upper surface of a station between a plurality of positions, e.g., a closeout position, an active position, and a flush position, and the pedal and/or handle assemblies may be actuated to cause movement of the wall assembly. Further, the adjustable package flow stop wall may include one or more sensors, actuators, and/or input elements to enable movement of the wall assembly at least partially or fully automatically, which movements may be based on detected agents and/or packages and associated characteristics.

An automated system for managing temperature and reducing crankcase oil dilution in an internal combustion engine. The system includes a rotatable shutter plate having an open portion, a closed portion and a peripheral rim, the peripheral rim having a frictional surface thereon; a motor having a rotatable shaft having a pinion affixed at one end thereof for engagement with the frictional surface of the peripheral rim of the rotatable shutter plate; and a temperature sensor for monitoring a temperature indicative of engine warm-up and sending a signal to a controller; wherein the rotatable shutter plate is structured and arranged to at least partially occlude an air inlet to or outlet from the internal combustion engine when rotated in response to a signal received from the controller. A method of reducing crankcase oil dilution and managing temperature in a spark-ignited engine operating on middle-distillate fuel and a portable engine or engine-generator combination having multi-fuel capability are also provided.
