  • Patent number: 7800049
    Abstract: An occupancy sensor having a replaceable cover with a convenient adjustment and installation scheme is disclosed herein. More particularly, a single or multi-technology occupancy sensor, assembled inside a semi-spherical shaped enclosure includes a replaceable cover with a convenient adjustment and installation scheme. This sensor design enables the sensor to be rotated after installation to obtain a desired coverage patterns. Specifically, the housing for the occupancy sensor includes a front cover having a lens assembly, a base assembly, a harmonic wheel, and a back cover. The front cover couples to the base assembly such that tool-less, manual access is available through the manually removable cover assembly to adjust several features of the sensor. The harmonic wheel enables the front cover, which includes the lens to swivel from zero to 359 degrees relative to the back cover anytime after installation.

  • Patent number: 7560696
    Abstract: A sensor mounting mechanism that includes a base member adapted to be mounted to a structure and a base neck having a first end and a second end where the first end is adapted to be coupled to a sensor with a ball-socket coupling and the second end is coupled to the base member with a rotating coupling. The mounting mechanism provides fine and coarse adjustment means for adjusting the scanning area of the sensor such as an PIR occupancy sensor without the use of a tool. The sensor includes a detachable lens holder for easy replacement of the lens.

  • Publication number: 20070213869
    Abstract: A cargo transportation device includes a lift assembly for raising and lowering cargo and an operator cabin in which an operator controls the lift assembly. A load backrest is coupled to the cabin, and an automatic data collection device, which is configured to interrogate wireless communication devices, is coupled to the load backrest. The cargo transportation device includes a computing device having logic for controlling the automatic data collection device and logic for controlling the lift assembly, and a display device in communication with the computing device. The display device is coupled to the cabin and configured to provide the operator with information from the computing device.

  • Publication number: 20060266841
    Abstract: The present invention is a modular handheld device. The modular handheld comprises a console and a keypad/battery module that acts with the console. The handheld can have other module parts. For example different modular handles can be attached to the handheld. The user or user organization has the option to select from one or more smaller keypad/battery battery modules and/or one or more larger keypad/battery modules with more battery capacity. The appropriate keypad/battery module is selected based on the needs of the particular user or application. This allows an organization to have multiple handheld configurations which utilize the same core computing engine, thus greatly reducing the number of IT platforms that need to be supported. By combining the display, processor, scan engines and radios into a console and separating the keypad and batteries into a “personality module” many different handhelds can be customized from a single console.
