Publication number: 20190064467Abstract: Couplers for a cable trough system including a terminal end sized to receive a terminal end of a trough member along a longitudinal direction of the body. A spring may be coupled to the body for securing the terminal end of the trough member to the coupler, the spring including first and second spring arms extending generally in opposition to one another in a plane generally parallel to the longitudinal direction. The spring may be received in a slot formed by the trough member. Also included may be a spring release mechanism coupled to the body, the spring release mechanism sliding in the longitudinal direction between a locked position, such that the first and second spring arms engage the terminal end of the trough, and an unlocked position, such that the first and second fingers release the first and second arms of the spring.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 29, 2018Publication date: February 28, 2019Inventors: Matthew D. Ferris, Alex Watts

Patent number: 8994513Abstract: A handheld computing system for adaptive multi-sensor, a manipulator grip and its method is provided. The system includes plurality of sensor systems for sensing characteristics of a physical object as well as a distance analyzer for dynamically determining the activation of at least one of the sensor systems based on a distance to the object and pre-determined criteria. Characteristics include an identifier and one or more attributes for contributing to identification of the object. Additions to the system include a display for displaying the object's image and having an analysis field and a zoom for placing a specific captured characteristic of the object in the analysis field. Additions to the handheld computing system further include a handheld ergonomic data input device for operating a handheld computing device.Type: GrantFiled: December 30, 2009Date of Patent: March 31, 2015Assignee: Psion Inc.Inventor: Alex Watt
