A computer implemented method for determining the stability of an object being transported on a conveyor system in which the conveyor system includes a carrier configured to transport the object in a transport direction of the conveyor system includes the steps of receiving a series of images representing the object on the carrier being transported by the conveyor system, determining a moving direction of the object in the received series of images, and determining the stability of the object by comparing the determined moving direction of the object to the transport direction of the conveyor system. Furthermore, a system includes a control unit configured to perform the above method and a camera.
The load is carried on a horizontal conveyor belt which is driven by a motor. The conveyor system is carried on a base which supports a number of lever arms. The lever arms are balanced by a fixed weight and by movable weights. There is a clutch and brake mechanism on the drive axis of the main drive motor so that the load may be accelerated or stopped. The movement of the levers is directly proportional to the load so that the braking or accelerating forces are also proportional to the load. The clutch and brake mechanism may be controlled by a cam and piston.

Limiting the Exposure of Delivery-related Information in a Delivery Process
It is disclosed to provide, to a first apparatus associated with a sender of a shipment, first information that can be caused, by the first apparatus or the sender, to become associated with the shipment and thus obtainable by a second apparatus associated with an entity that is involved in a process of delivering the shipment according to delivery-related information. It is further disclosed to provide, to the second apparatus, second information, wherein the second information is either third information that is a first representation of the delivery-related information selected based on the first information, or is fourth information that is useable for deriving, from the first information, a first representation of the delivery-related information. The second information is neither provided to the first apparatus nor to the sender.
As disclosed herein, an apparatus receives data from sensors that are arranged in a repository facility so they can capture repository locations of the repository facility and a path in the repository facility. It derives an identification and a position of an object in the repository facility from the received data. It causes storage of the position of the object in association with its identification if a position is not yet stored for the object. If a position is already stored for the object, the apparatus checks the position on the basis of the derived position and causes storage of the derived position in the event of a change. On obtaining an enquiry in regard to the position of an object in the repository facility, the apparatus reads a position of the object, stored in association with the identification of the object, and provides information regarding the position.

METHOD FOR DETECTING UNAUTHORISED COPIES OF DIGITAL SECURITY TOKENS
The invention relates to a method for operating a digital security token in a data network terminal, wherein the digital security token is used for authenticating a user using the data network terminal and the method has the following steps: – providing the digital security token in the data network terminal, wherein the digital security token has a check feature that is stored in the data network terminal in a manner protected against unauthorised access by means of a user code and wherein a piece of information about the check feature and the link thereof to the data network terminal is stored on a server incorporated in the data network; – examining the check feature by means of the server on the basis of the information about the check feature and the link thereof to the user during use of the digital security token for authenticating the user and/or during a periodic routine examination, wherein the server transmits a new check feature needed for further operation of the security token to the data network terminal only if the examined check feature is correct. The invention additionally relates to a corresponding data network terminal having a digital security token.
The disclosure relates to a method comprising outputting access authorization information, which is a necessary condition for access to a compartment of a compartment system. The specific compartment is known, and the access authorization information is generated at least using information identifying the compartment, such that the compartment is determinable by the compartment system using the access authorization information. The compartment system may be stateless with respect to the determination of the compartment using the access authorization information. The access authorization information and the compartment system may be configured in a way such that the compartment system does not need to receive any further information in order to perform a check to determine whether access to the compartment can be granted on the basis of the access authorization information and/or the compartment system only obtains information from that device from which the compartment system obtains the access authorization information.
