Abstract: The hook and loop rope of the present invention is configured to facilitate tying objects down without requiring a user to tie a knot in the rope. Instead, the user need only loop the rope through a tiedown (or structural equivalent) prior to engaging hooks of a first portion of the rope with loops of a second portion of the rope. In the rolled configuration, a plurality of hooks associated with a hook side of the rope engage with a plurality of loops associated with a loop side of the rope, thereby retaining the rope in the rolled configuration. The plurality of hooks are displaced from the plurality of loops to move the rope into an unrolled configuration. Then, in the tie-down configuration, a first portion of the rope overlaps a second portion, thereby preventing or otherwise inhibiting movement of the first portion relative to the second.

Abstract: A method of determining keypad health is provided. The method includes identifying the frequency of signals associated with the keypad and providing a warning when the frequency reaches a threshold value.

Abstract: A paint can cap remover system and method is provided. The system includes a cap remover and a leverage element. The cap remover and leverage element are either a single unitary item or two separate items. The cap remover includes a main body portion with thumb tabs and a receiving edge. The receiving edge is configured to engage with the cap of a paint can, while the thumb tabs are configured to engage with a paint can cap and translate leveraging forces into rotational movement to assist in dislodging and removing the paint cap. The leverage element includes a handle portion and a connecting portion. The handle portion provides a surface or handle for a user to apply leveraging forces to the leverage element. The connecting portion interfaces with the cap remover to transfer forces applied to the leverage element.

Abstract: Provided is a device for interfacing between a POS system having a first connection requirement, such as a serial connection requirement, and a cash drawer having a second connection requirement different from the first connection requirement. The device includes a circuit adapted to receive a signal from the POS system and open the cash drawer, or else generate a signal to the cash drawer that is recognized by the cash drawer as the signal to open.

Abstract: A protective covering for a LCD display is provided. The protective covering includes a sheet-like front portion, which rests over the surface of the LCD display when in use, a top portion that extends backwards from the sheet-like front portion, a back portion that extends downward from the top portion, and a pair of tabs that extend inward from the back portion such that the protective covering can be secured in place over the LCD monitor.
