  • Publication number: 20260192732
    Abstract: A mobile living unit is designed to optimize living space through an innovative expandable mechanical structure. The system features modular and automated mechanisms that enable seamless transitions between a compact transport mode and an expansive living mode, ensuring structural stability and user convenience. A mechanical structure for mobile living units features expandable panels, synchronized actuators and modular designs. The system facilitates efficient transitions between compact and expanded configurations, ensuring stability, durability and ease of use. This general framework supports further innovations in rear and side extensional spaces, adaptable floor systems, and chassis subframes for advanced mobile living solutions.

  • Patent number: 9659199
    Abstract: An indicia reading terminal is disclosed that eliminates unwanted flickering effects in an illuminated screen reading mode, among other advantageous features. The indicia reading terminal, in response to a screen reading signal, is operative to activate a screen reading cycle. In the screen reading cycle, an imaging subsystem is activated at least once at the same time that an illumination subsystem is activated for one of a plurality of active illumination periods, for a first illuminated exposure period. The imaging subsystem is activated at least once while the illumination subsystem is not activated, for a first unilluminated exposure period, which is longer than the first illuminated exposure period. An aimer subsystem is activated for a plurality of active aimer periods when neither the imaging subsystem nor the illumination subsystem is activated, wherein intervals of time between the active aimer periods are equal, within nominal tolerances.
