In embodiments, systems and apparatus comprise a bracket having a through hole configured to receive a first connector connected to a panel spaced from the bracket, the bracket movable between first and second positions; a switch mountable on the panel, the switch having first and second switch positions; and at least one compression spring extending from the bracket to bias the bracket into the first position spaced away from the switch. When the bracket is in the first position, the switch is in the first switch position, and when the bracket is in the second position, the bracket engages and actuates the switch into the second switch position. The bracket is movable into the second position to engage and actuate the switch by coupling a second connector to the first connector. The switch is configured to trigger a signal indicating that the first connector is connected to the second connector.

The present invention relates to a method of determining stock in an inventory. The method comprises obtaining one or more images comprising one or more objects. Further, estimating a three dimensional (3D) location of a Stock Keeping Unit (SKU) marker associated with each of one or more visible objects. Furthermore, determining a stacking pattern of the one or more objects for each level on the pallet using one of the 3D location of SKU marker and a learning model. Thereafter, detecting at least one of presence or absence of one or more undetected objects at each level based on the stacking pattern and the 3D location of the SKU marker. Finally, determining the stock in the inventory based on the presence or the absence of the one or more undetected objects and the one or more visible objects.

Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to a substrate transfer device having a contactless latch and contactless coupling providing the ability to lock and unlock the substrate transfer device at atmospheric and vacuum pressure with without particle generation at a base of the substrate transfer device, the contactless latch, and the contactless coupling. The substrate transfer device includes a lid having one or more lid grooves, a base having one or more base grooves, and a rotation member rotatably coupled to the lid. Each flange of one or more flanges of the substrate transfer device is rotatable in aligned lid grooves and base grooves, and each flange of the one or more flanges has an arm with a ferromagnetic material coupled thereto. The base is coupled to the lid when the ferromagnetic material of the arm is aligned and spaced from a magnetic material of a slot of the one or more base grooves.
