MACHINE LEARNING-BASED SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR AUTOMATICALLY DETERMINING CHARACTERISTICS OF PRINTED LABELS
ABSTRACT Aspects of the present disclosure simplify label printing for an object that includes a plurality of features, such as a patch panel that includes a plurality of ports. When a user wants to print a label for a group within an object (e.g., a group of ports within a patch panel), an image can be captured of at least one feature within the group. The image can be processed by a machine learning model (MLM) that has been trained to detect the presence of such features in captured images and to determine location information indicating where the features are located in the captured images. The label printing module can automatically determine characteristic(s) of the printed label (e.g., the length of the printed label, markings on the printed label) based at least in part on the location information determined by the MLM.
A lockout device for securing a rotary circuit breaker switch is provided. The lockout device is provided in the form of an outer housing having a plurality of side walls extending away from a base wall to define a cavity and at least one of the side walls having a slot formed therein. The lockout device further includes an inner housing received within a portion of the cavity. The inner housing has a first component and a second component to receive the rotary circuit breaker switch therein. The lockout device has a biasing element positioned between the base wall and the inner housing to translate the inner housing axially relative to the outer housing, and a fastener with a thumbwheel having at least one projection designed to be positioned within the slot of the outer housing to hold the fastening mechanism and the lockout device in a locked position.

A label printing module can be configured to perform at least two actions in response to a request to create a label for an item. The label printing module can create a print job that will produce a physical label for the item. In addition, the label printing module can cause a digital label to be created and stored in a digital label database, which can be accessible via the Internet. The digital label can include an identifier that is uniquely associated with the item to which the physical label corresponds. The digital label can be associated with an Internet address. The Internet address of the digital label can be included in a machine-readable object on the corresponding printed physical label. Someone who has the item corresponding to the printed physical label can view informational content within the corresponding digital label by using a reader to read the machine-readable object.
A lockout device can be used to secure a valve, a valve stem, or other control. The lockout device includes a cover having an internal cavity and an opening about the internal cavity, a cable that is flexible, a cable attachment point attached to the cover to which the cable is attached at its securable end, and a cable lockout module attached to the cover. The cable lockout module includes a cable engagement element having a cable-receiving pathway extending therethrough for reception of a free end of the cable and selective securement thereof to create a cable loop. The cable lockout module further has a door. When the door is in a closed position, the cable engagement element is securely covered by the door and the door is lockable relative to a remainder of the cable lockout module to prevent the door from being opened.

SPECIALIZED INKSETS AND ALTERNATIVE FLUIDS AND RELATED SYSTEMS
Printer systems and associated ink cartridges can have specialized inksets and alternative fluids for use in printing. In such sys- tems and cartridges, the inkset of a unique cartridge may be deliberately limited relative to traditional inksets that seek to have a wide color gamut such that chemistries having greater durability may be employed. Still further, such cartridges may include one or more functional inks that have a purpose other than merely coloration, Particularly in compact printers, for which space is limited, the system can be designed to accept vari- ous unique cartridges based on the intended printing application and print based on the characteristics of the received cartridge. Beyond this, the system may advise the user when a different cartridge is necessary and/ or may be beneficially used for a particular application.

A wrapper assembly (10) is disclosed that can be used, for example, to wrap a label around a wire (86, 88). In the wrapper assembly (10), a pair of supports (46) are spaced apart from one another and a plurality of rollers (62) are disposed there between. The wrapper assembly (10) further includes at least one yoke (60). Both the pair of supports (46) and the yoke (60) have positioning slots (70, 72, 74) formed therein that support the rollers (62). By moving the yoke or yokes (60) relative to the supports (46), the positioning slots (74) in the yoke or yokes (60) shifts relative to the positioning slots (70, 72) in the supports (46) and thereby adjusting the positions of rollers (62) relative to one another.
A cartridge assembly is disclosed. The cartridge assembly (12) includes a core, a cartridge housing defining a cavity that receives the core (58), a shaft extending from the cartridge housing (48) into the cavity and at least part way into the core, and a torsion spring. The torsion spring (78) is helically wound to define a coiled outer surface that is received in the core and also includes at least one end that engages the shaft (84). When the core is rotated in a first direction about the shaft, a circumference of the coiled outer surface of the torsion spring increases thereby restricting a rotation of the core in the first direction. When the core is rotated in a second direction opposite the first direction, the coiled outer surface provides a controlled amount of drag to resist a rotation of the core in the second direction.
