Abstract: A boat protection system comprises a hub system and at least one auxiliary module. The hub system comprises a hub housing defining at least one hub guide portion, at least one hub electrical connector supported by the hub housing, and a DC bus operatively connected to the at least one hub electrical connector. The at least one auxiliary module comprises an auxiliary housing defining at least one auxiliary guide portion, at least one auxiliary electrical connector supported by the auxiliary housing, and at least one functional component. At least one hub guide portion engages at least one auxiliary guide portion to support at least auxiliary housing relative to the hub housing such that at least one hub electrical connector engages at least one auxiliary electrical connector. The at least one functional component of the at least one auxiliary module is operatively connected to the DC bus.

Abstract: A security device includes a body housing having a receptacle configured to receive a coupler to affix the body housing to an article of merchandise; a locking mechanism configured to maintain the coupler in a fixed position with respect to the body housing and in retaining engagement with the article of merchandise; and an electro-mechanical actuator configured to alter from a first state to a second state in response to application of an actuation voltage, wherein alteration of the electro-mechanical actuator from the first state to the second state enables the coupler to move with respect to the body housing.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a device and a method for writing a plurality of transponders. A rotatable member is designed to ensure a relative rotation between a load and a release device for packaging material. A reading device for reading object information during the rotation of the rotatable member is arranged on the rotatable member. Various antennae (e.g., linear polarized RFID antenna, omnidirectional antenna, dipole antenna, etc.) are provided for reading RFID's. The RFID tags are read while they rotate close to the fixed position of the RFID reading device.

Abstract: A system for writing RFID tags of a set of piece goods transported by a conveyor along a conveying path, with a reading device for reading the RFID tags during transport along the conveying path, with a first writing device for writing the RFID tags with data during transport along the conveying path, with a circuit, which is connected to the reading device and to the first writing device. The circuit is configured to assign identifiers, read by the reading device of each RFID tag to the set, whereby the RFID tag is attached to an item of the set. The circuit is configured to form a first subset of the set. The circuit is configured to send the identifiers, associated with the first subset, to the first writing device to write the data to the RFID tags of the first subset via the first writing device.

Abstract: A system and method for releasing a security tag from an article automatically at a point of sale without the need for store employee involvement, assuming a valid sale is occurring. A system and method for releasing a security tag from an article automatically at a point of sale that tracks the detacher operation and the time and date of such operation.

Abstract: A fixture for use in a retail store is provided including a loop formed from a conductive material and adapted to support hanging articles, the loop having a first and second end, the first and second ends each connected to an insulator member, the first end being electrically insulated from the second end by the insulator member, and an RFID reader connected to each of the first end and the second end of the loop. A circuit is formed by the loop and the RFID reader, wherein the loop provides an antenna function for the RFID reader. A method of retrofitting a fixture for use in a retail store is also provided.

Abstract: The invention relates to a trigger system for hand firearms with a hammer, a catch allocated to the hammer, a trigger, and a trigger arm interacting with this trigger, wherein the hammer has a first stop for holding the hammer in a completely cocked position and the trigger arm has a first trigger arm stop edge for engaging with an associated first hammer stop of the hammer. In order to allow pulling of the trigger with lower trigger weight even in the double-action mode, the hammer contains a second stop for holding the hammer in a partially pre-cocked position and the trigger arm has a second trigger arm stop edge for engaging an associated second hammer stop of the hammer.
