  • Publication number: 20230334274
    Abstract: Example wearable devices having multiple distributed radio frequency identification (RFID) antennas are disclosed. A disclosed example wearable device includes a first RFID antenna; a second RFID antenna; a processor configured to activate one of the first RFID antenna or the second RFID antenna based upon at least one of an a or a type of an RFID object external to the wearable device; and a body, wherein the RFID radio, the first RFID antenna, and the second RFID antenna are disposed at respective positions along the body. The wearable device may include an RFID radio, wherein, when the wearable device is worn, the RFID radio and the processor are disposed at one or more fingers of a user's hand, the first RFID antenna is disposed at an upper side of the user's hand, and the second RFID antenna is disposed at a user's wrist.

  • Publication number: 20090114481
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to the sale of greeting cards and related merchandise. More specifically to a novel retail store concept designed to create a personal, experience-based shopping experience for consumers. This concept is effectuated by physical aspects such as a moveable wall system, unique storefront, and specially designed fixtures and furniture. The concept is also effectuated by having several themed zones and intermingling cards and gift merchandise throughout the store. Every aspect of the store, from the store layout and design to the merchandise assortment is carefully chosen to create an experience-based shopping environment.

  • Publication number: 20020070502
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a projectile trap for capturing projectiles emitted along a line substantially parallel to an underlying ground/floor surface. The trap includes a support structure including an inclined support surface that is inclined relative to the line of the projectiles. The inclined support surface includes a front edge positioned generally at the ground/floor surface, and a rear edge oriented at a higher elevation than the front edge. The trap also includes a particulate flowable granular material supported by the support structure. At least a portion of the granulate material is disposed above the inclined support surface such that the inclined support surface is substantially covered with granulate material. The granulate material is adapted for slowing down and capturing the projectiles.

  • Patent number: 6107968
    Abstract: A communication terminal including a communication unit, a longitudinal antenna enclosed in a radome, and a pivot connecting the antenna to the unit for pivoting about an axis with an RF connection to the unit. The unit is in a box-shaped enclosure having a front face with a keypad and connected to a rear face by top and bottom faces, and two side faces. One of the unit front and rear faces is non-planar from top to bottom with the spacing between the front and rear faces varying from top to bottom. The spacing between the radome front and rear faces varies to substantially match the varied spacing between the unit front and rear faces so that the radome and unit front and rear faces define a uniform profile when the radome is adjacent one unit side face. The unit top face lies on one side of a first plane and at least one unit side face lies on one side of a second plane perpendicular to the first plane.

  • Patent number: 5848794
    Abstract: The present invention is a projectile trap assembly for capturing projectiles emitted along a line substantially parallel to ground. The projectile trap assembly includes a support frame having an upper surface inclined relative to the line of the projectiles and a particulate flowable granulate material exhibiting an angle of repose. The particulate granulate material is supported by the support frame at the angle of repose, whereby the particulate granulate material receives and slows down the projectiles.
