Abstract: A system includes a station and a management module. The station includes a queue having a first row and a second row. The management module is operable to instruct a first mobile drive unit to move a first group of connected item holders from the second row to the first row, instruct the first mobile drive unit to move the first group of connected item holders along the station such that one or more items stored by the first group of connected item holders are processed at the station, and after the one or more items from the first group of items are processed, instruct a second mobile drive unit to move a second group of connected item holders from the second row to the first row.

Abstract: This disclosure describes, in part, systems, devices, and techniques to encrypt address resolution protocol (ARP) messages to prevent a rogue device from accessing information about a local network. In certain embodiments described herein, networked devices are preconfigured with security credentials that allow the devices, possibly via network interface controllers (NICs), to encrypt outgoing ARP messages and decrypt incoming ARP messages. The NICs may listen for encrypted messages that are recognized as being ARP messages. These encrypted messages may include a designator that indicates that the message is an encrypted ARP message. When a NIC receives a message that is indicated as an encrypted ARP message, then the NIC will decrypt the message using secure credentials to obtain the true ARP message. The device will then process the message in accordance standard procedures.
Abstract translation: 本公开部分地描述了用于加密地址解析协议(ARP)消息以防止流氓设备访问关于本地网络的信息的系统,设备和技术。 在本文描述的某些实施例中,网络设备预先配置有可能通过网络接口控制器(NIC)来允许设备加密传出的ARP消息并解密传入的ARP消息的安全凭证。 NIC可以监听被识别为ARP消息的加密消息。 这些加密的消息可以包括指示消息是加密的ARP消息的指示符。 当NIC收到指示为加密ARP消息的消息时,NIC将使用安全凭证解密该消息,以获取真实的ARP消息。 然后,设备将按照标准程序处理消息。

Abstract: An apparatus includes an interface and a processor. The interface is operable to wirelessly transmit instructions to one or more mobile drive units. The processor is communicatively coupled to the interface and is operable to instruct a mobile drive unit to transport a first shipping container storing at least one completed order to a shipping station, instruct the mobile drive unit to connect the first shipping container to a second shipping container to form a group of connected shipping containers. The processor is also operable to detect a trigger event, and in response to detecting the trigger event, coordinate movement of one or more mobile drive units to transport the group of connected shipping containers onto a vehicle for shipment.

Abstract: In some implementations, a computing device includes an identifier that is embedded into a firmware of the computing device. The identifier uniquely identifies the computing device from other computing devices. The computing device may send a request to a server to provide credentials to enable the computing device to access a secured resource, such as secured data or a secured system. The computing device may provide the server with the identifier to enable the server to determine whether the computing device is authorized to access the secured resource. If the server determines that the computing device is authorized, the server may provide the credentials to the computing device. If the server determines that the computing device is unauthorized, the server may cause the computing device to perform one or more actions to render the computing device inoperable and/or render the resource inaccessible.

Abstract: Cable robots may be used to automatically load items onto one or more surfaces in any environment. An item may be received on a carrier that is connected to tensioning actuators of a cable robot by one or more cables in tension. The actuators of the robot may be manipulated in concert to move the carrier from a first position to a second position, which may be fixed or in motion, at which the item may be expelled from the carrier. The carrier may include induction wheels and/or conveyors for receiving the item thereon and for expelling the item therefrom. The cable robot may be provided in series with a conveyor and mounted to a frame, and used to load items onto a delivery vehicle, such that the frame may be withdrawn as items are loaded.

Abstract: A network directory service, responsive to receiving a target device symbolic name from a client, identifies a network access server in communication with a network on which the target device resides, notifies the network access server of an expected connection from the client, and returns a device access token to the client. The network access server, responsive to receiving and validating the device access token, forwards the client-originated traffic to the target device by implementing a Network Address Translation (NAT) scheme.
