Abstract (en)
A trashcan assembly (20) including a body portion (22), a lid portion (24) pivotably coupled with the body portion (22), and a sensor assembly (102) configured to generate a signal when an object is detected within a sensing region. The sensor assembly (102) can include a plurality of transmitters (112a-112d) having a first subset of transmitters and a second subset of transmitters. A transmission axis of at least one transmitter in the first subset of transmitters can be different from a transmission axis of at least one of the transmitters in the second subset of transmitters. An electronic processor (70) can generate an electronic signal to a power-operated drive mechanism (58) for moving the lid portion (24) from a closed position to an open position, such as in response to the sensor assembly (102) detecting the object.
