Abstract: A point of sale terminal including a housing defining at least one interior location and at least one opening from the outside through which an insect can enter the at least one interior location, point of sale electronic circuitry located within the housing, at least one light source located within the housing and being operative to illuminate at least one region adjacent the at least one opening and light source driving circuitry operative to cause the at least one light source to output radiation of a type which repels an insect otherwise seeking to enter via the at least one opening.

Abstract: A configuration builder useful in configuring software-containing hardware units which are serviced by a center which services a multiplicity of similar units having a plurality of different configurations, the configuration builder including: functionality enabling configuration of at least one software-containing hardware unit by a configurer; and functionality operative automatically in response to configuration of the at least one software-containing hardware unit for correspondingly configuring the center, thereby to enable the center to interface with the at least one software-containing hardware unit. Methodologies and point of sale systems employing the configuration building functionality are also disclosed.

Abstract: A point of sale terminal including point of sale transaction circuitry, and a socket for selectably receiving and supporting a mobile computing/communicating device and for permitting communication between the mobile computing/communicating device and the point of sale transaction circuitry. The point of sale transaction circuitry is operative both independently of and in cooperation with the mobile computing/communicating device.

Abstract: An electronic circuit assembly including a plurality of printed circuit boards including electrical circuits and electronic components mounted on at least one of the plurality of printed circuit boards in electrical communication with the electrical circuits, wherein at least some of the plurality of printed circuit boards define an anti-tamper enclosure for at least some of the electronic components.
