Abstract: A device includes a trigger arrangement activating a function of the device. The trigger arrangement includes a trigger mechanism movable between a first position and a second position. The device also includes a feedback mechanism exerting a force biasing the trigger mechanism to the first position. The feedback mechanism produces a tactile feedback response when the trigger mechanism is moved from the first position.

Abstract: An electronic device comprises a housing and a battery arrangement. The housing has a recess which is shaped to receive a removable battery. The battery arrangement includes a locking mechanism automatically securing the battery within the recess from an initial position into a final position. The battery arrangement prevents a removal of the battery until a powering down procedure of the device is completed.

Abstract: Systems and methods for a rugged hand held mobile terminal design are provided. The mobile terminal design includes a monocoque enclosure for housing electronic components. The electronic components are mounted on a rail system, which is positioned within an interior portion of the enclosure through an open end of the enclosure. The mobile terminal design also includes a display bezel. The display bezel and the rail system have mating parts for securing the assembly together.

Abstract: Described is a device comprising a power supply, a receiving arrangement, a removable cover and a sensor. The receiving arrangement detachably receives a peripheral device. The peripheral device draws power from the power supply when coupled to the receiving arrangement. The removable cover covers the receiving arrangement and prevents the peripheral device from being physically removed from the receiving arrangement. The sensor outputs a first signal when the cover covers the receiving arrangement and outputs a second signal when the cover is removed from the receiving arrangement. Communication with the peripheral device is terminated as a function of the first and second signals.

Abstract: Described is an illumination arrangement for an imager. A device comprises a scanning engine, a housing with the scanning engine residing inside the housing and an illumination arrangement coupled to the housing providing illumination for the scanning engine. The illumination has a direct line of sight to an object at which the scanning engine is directed.

Abstract: Described is a protective device and system for a mobile computing device. The system comprises a rigid cage and a protective boot. The rigid cage is shaped to protect an attachment point of a mobile device receiving a removable connector. The rigid cage is shaped to receive the attachment point and the removable connector. The protective boot is shaped to receive the rigid cage and a portion of the mobile device. The portion of the mobile device includes the attachment point.

Abstract: Described is an assembly, which includes a housing and a window member therein. Also, described is a method and system for manufacturing such assembly. In particular, a first part and a second part are approximated into a molding configuration to create a first mold therebetween. The first mold includes first and second molding cavities. When the first and second parts are in the molding configuration, the second molding cavity is sealed with respect to the first molding cavity. Then, a first molding material is added into the first molding cavity to create a housing. A window member is inserted into the second molding cavity. The second part is replaced with a third molding cavity surrounding a perimeter of the window member. Subsequently, a second molding material is added to the third molding cavity to create a seal surrounding the perimeter of the window member.
