Abstract: An air duct arrangement for cooling a group (1) of at least two heat producing modules is provided, said modules (2, 3) being arranged one after the other in the direction of an air flow through said group (1), said air duct arrangement comprising an air path (5, 6) for each module (2, 3). The cooling of modules of a group of modules with cooling air should be enabled with only small space requirements. To this end said air paths (5, 6) are arranged in parallel along a lengthwise direction from a first side of said group (1) to a second side of said group (1), said second side being opposite to the first side, said air path (5, 6) changing their order in a direction perpendicular to said lengthwise direction in a region (13) between said two modules (2, 3).

Abstract: Described is a method and system for establishing an authenticated wireless communication (e.g., using Bluetooth technology) between first and second mobile devices. The first device (e.g., a mobile barcode scanner) sends a signal to establish a wireless communication with the second device. The first device includes a data capturing arrangement (“DCA”) as an only input device interface with a user thereof. The second device initiates an authentication process by requesting the first device to obtain a PIN code from the user. Once the first device obtains the PIN code from the user via the DCA, a pairing process is performed to compare the PIN code to entries in a database of authorized PIN codes. When the pairing process has been successfully completed, a link key is generated to establish the authenticated wireless communication between the first and second devices.

Abstract: Laser power control arrangements interrupt power to a laser used in electro-optical readers upon detection of an over-power condition not conforming to preestablished regulatory standards. In one embodiment, during an operational mode, a difference between laser drive currents at two operating points is compared to a difference between laser drive currents at the same two operating points during a calibration mode. The over-power condition is recognized when the difference during the operational mode exceeds the difference during the calibration mode by a predetermined amount. In another embodiment, the laser is only energized to emit the beam at a reduced power level well below regulatory standards for staring at even if a motor drive failed.
