In an example, a bin prowl apparatus comprises a bin prowl including a distal end and a proximal end. The proximal end has a proximal width which is at least ten times larger than a distal width of the distal end. The proximal end is configured to be connected with a front wall of a bin. The proximal width of the proximal end is at least 30% of a bin width of the front wall of the bin. The distal end extends forward from the proximal end along a direction of a length of the bin and is spaced from the proximal end by a minimum distance of 10% to over 100% of the proximal width of the proximal end.

Container apparatus and method

In an example, a monitoring method for screening an individual, the monitoring method comprising: performing a pre-checkpoint monitoring of a stance of the individual as the individual's stance to collect baseline data including weight distribution and balance of the individual as the individual's weight distribution and balance; performing a pre-scanning monitoring of the individual's stance at a scanning system at a checkpoint to collect pre-scanning monitoring data prior to scanning the individual by the scanning system; and comparing the pre-scanning monitoring data with the baseline data to determine whether the pre-scanning monitoring data falls below a pre-scanning threshold with respect to the baseline data, the individual resetting the individual's stance at the scanning system until the pre-scanning monitoring data is below the pre-scanning threshold with respect to the baseline data before scanning the individual at the scanning system.
