  • Patent number: 11950713
    Abstract: Systems disclosed herein are directed to a display stand unit for a retail environment. The display stand unit includes a base having an interior and a display stand. The display stand includes a stem that connects to and extends upwardly from the base and a receiving surface that is suspended above and spaced away from the base by the stem. The receiving surface is configured to releasably hold an electronic device above and spaced away from the base. The display stand unit further includes a security cable that extends out from the base. The security cable is configured to attach to the electronic device to movably secure the electronic device to the base. The display stand unit further includes a retractor disposed within the interior of the base and connected to the security cable. The retractor automatically retracts the security cable.

  • Patent number: 11366332
    Abstract: An optical module includes an enclosure and an optical output assembly mounted on the enclosure. An emitter mounted in the enclosure is configured to emit a beam of light toward the optical output assembly. A connector, which includes two conductive layers separated by a dielectric layer, has a first side connected to the enclosure and a second side connected to the optical output assembly. An electrical trace disposed on the enclosure is connected to the first side of the connector so as to define a test circuit having a capacitance. Control circuitry is coupled to sense the capacitance of the test circuit, and configured to inhibit operation of the emitter upon sensing a change in the capacitance that exceeds a predetermined threshold.

  • Patent number: 10958550
    Abstract: Capturing messages exchanged with field devices in an industrial process without disrupting communication of the messages. A diagnostic driver embedded within a gateway device detects abnormal conditions in connections between the gateway device and the field devices. The diagnostic driver captures messages indicative of the abnormal condition without disrupting message communication. The driver is capable of transmitting captured messages, on demand, to a workstation computing device for diagnosis of the abnormal condition.

  • Patent number: 10667341
    Abstract: An optical module includes a diffractive optical element (DOE) with a transparent conductive trace disposed over a surface of the DOE. An emitter is configured to direct a beam of optical radiation through the DOE. Control circuitry is coupled to measure a resistance of the transparent conductive trace and to control operation of the emitter responsively to the resistance.

  • Patent number: 10459413
    Abstract: Controlling and communicating with separate sets of industrial process control devices via separate data protocols simultaneously with a single processing device that utilizes redundancy and task-splitting to increase availability. An exemplary system includes a device integrator processor configured to receive and transmit electronic data via a plurality of protocols simultaneously. In one form, the device integrator processor includes a primary module that primarily controls communications and synchronizes itself with a shadow module of the processor. In another form, the processor includes multiple cores that each control a set of devices. Moreover, the cores implement a redundancy scheme.
