Abstract: The invention relates to a cash register system (10) comprising a scanner (12, 14) for scanning articles and a deposit unit (18) for depositing the scanned articles. Further, the cash register system (10) comprises a sensor unit (22, 30) for detecting a sequence of motions of the user of the cash register system (10). A control unit selects one of several preset cash register functions dependent on the sequence of motions detected by means of the sensor unit (20, 30) and controls the cash register system (10) accordingly.

Abstract: A robotic building system includes a first through third sets of extruded elements integrally joined at lengthwise edges and corners to rails. The second set of extruded elements has at least three adjoining sides surrounding a hollow opening, where each side is integrally joined to a rail. A third set of extruded elements has an asymmetrical inside angle shaped element formed by a first web and a second web oriented generally perpendicular to the first web, where each web is integrally affixed between a pair of opposing rails and each web shares a common rail. The rails may be tapped or drilled to accept a fastener, and each extruded element of the first set, second set and third set of extruded elements are adapted to be flush mounted to any of the other extruded elements or to the same shape extruded elements.

Abstract: Disclosed is a multi-functional digital display system capable of delivering a complete event scorekeeping display and tracking system which is also capable of delivering alternative digital content, such as digital advertising. This system is based around a self-contained device incorporating a processor, a web server, data storage, as wireless access point, and embedded software. This device delivers a very flexible solution which can be connected to a wide variety of commercial devices, such as a television, in order to display the scorekeeping system, and can be connected to a wide variety of commercial devices, such as a smart phone, for controlling the scorekeeping and management functions. As such, this system can adapt to evolving display and wireless device technology, while continuing to expand its capabilities via evolving software functionality. The result is a lower cost, more capable, and more flexible system than was previously possible.

Abstract: The invention relates to a system for detecting products, comprising a plurality of portable reading devices, wherein each customer can be assigned at least one portable reading device by means of which identification data about the products to be purchased by the respective customer in a sales room can be detected irrespective of location, and wherein the portable reading device has a control unit and a memory for buffering the identification data.
