Abstract: The invention relates to an apparatus for a logistics center, in particular an industrial goods warehouse, said apparatus comprising a camera arrangement for detecting a plurality of articles placed on a placement surface within the entire field of view of the camera arrangement, a projection device for projecting information relating to the detection, and an electronic control device that is in signal connection with the camera arrangement and the projection device and that is configured to detect the articles individually by means of image analysis, and to display the detection of a picking up of a respective article from the placement surface and/or a placing of a respective article onto the placement surface in a visually recognizable manner by a projection.

Abstract: A code reading device (10) for reading optical codes (48) is provided that has a light reception element (18) for detecting image data having an optical code (48), an optics (16), a focus adjustment unit (17) for setting a focal position of the optics (16), a display device (24) for optical and/or acoustic feedback on the focus setting, and a control and evaluation unit (34) that is configured to read the code (48) using a decoding method by evaluating the image data, The control and evaluation unit (34) is furthermore configured to evaluate a quality of a currently set focal position and to provide feedback on the quality via the display device.

Abstract: Systems and methods for operating an engine that includes an oxygen sensor and one or more fuel injectors for each engine cylinder are described. In one example, lines describing a relationship between a fuel mass multiplier and a coefficient of a function describing output of an oxygen sensor to a step change in fuel mass are a basis for determining air-fuel imbalance of engine cylinders.

Abstract: Representative implementations of devices and techniques provide a modular carrier for a tactical implement or for an accessory to a weapon, tool, or other implement, for example. The modular carrier comprises first and second shell components to at least partially encase the accessory. The first and second shell components are adjustably attached using at least one attachment member on each of the first and second shell components, to form an enclosure. At least one adjustable retention component may be used with the attachment members to adjust the retention of the enclosure.

Abstract: Representative implementations of devices and techniques provide an adjustable clip that may be adjusted in overall length. The adjustable clip includes an upper clip portion and a lower clip portion, which are moveably coupled to each other. An actuator is included to set the overall length of the adjustable clip, and to prevent the upper clip portion and the lower clip portion from moving with respect to each other unintentionally, when the length is set. The clip length can be user-adjusted in the field if desired.

Abstract: A passive pen includes a pen body, and a tip disposed at a first end of the pen body. The tip capacitively couples to the pen body, and the capacitive coupling is configured to change the tip from a first ground mass state to a second ground mass state.

Abstract: A laptop computer comprising a keyboard including a bezel having a plurality of key openings and a plurality of key holding features configured adjacent to the plurality of key openings on a bottom side of the bezel. The laptop computer also includes a plurality of keycaps having a touch surface for receiving a press force, each keycap positioned within a respective one of the plurality of key openings. The laptop computer also includes a chassis having a plurality of planar-translation effecting mechanisms each supporting a respective one of the plurality of keycaps such that, in response to receiving the press force, the respective keycap moves in a press direction and a second direction orthogonal to the press direction from an unpressed position toward a pressed position.

Abstract: A tool holder or a disc-shaped working tool (18) has a working tool holding member (14) and a working tool holding counter-member (16) rotatable, together with the working tool holding member, (14) about an operational axis (A) and cooperating with the working tool holding member (14) for receiving therebetween the working tool (18) for joint rotation therewith; central securing element (26) for securing the working tool (18) between the working tool holding member (14) and the working tool holding counter-member (16); and at least one coupling element (44) associated with the working tool holding member (14), radially spaceable from the central securing element (26) and having a rotary stop for forming a releaseable plug-in connection with at least one through-bore (24) formed in the working tool (18).

Abstract: An image capture system for retaining check processing data comprises a camera operable to generate an electronic check image of a physical check, with the electronic check image operable to generate an image replacement document. The system includes a scanner operable to process the check image to generate check processing data and one or more processors operable to embed at least a portion of the check processing data in the electronic check image. The embedded check processing data is typically operable to be subsequently identified.

Abstract: An image capture system for retaining Magnetic Ink Character Recognition (MICR) code format comprises a camera operable to generate an electronic check image of a physical check, with the electronic check image operable to generate an image replacement document. The image capture system further comprises a scanner operable to identify MICR code data from the physical check and one or more processors. The one or more processors are operable to embed the identified MICR code data in the electronic check image, with the embedded MICR code data in the original format.

Abstract: A flight delivery system that utilizes an architectural structure and network that allows real-time digital signals to be stored, retrieved and converted to an audio signal for radio transmission to achieve nearly instantaneous transmission of real-time data. The system utilizes a computerized reservation system as a source of information and stores it on a database. The information is called up by a computer that converts the data to a digital audio signal. The digital audio signal is then broadcast over airport antennae. The system features programs that allow for a conversion from airport city codes to the common identification for local cities.
