  • Patent number: 11763641
    Abstract: A Universal-Serial-Bus interface communicatively couples a first electronic device and a second electronic device with one another. The Universal-Serial-Bus interface includes an electrical connection structure to electrically connect the first electronic device and the second electronic device with one another and a switch to disconnect the electrical connection structure. A measurement circuit to measure one or more electrical properties is associated with the electrical connection structure and/or the first electronic device. One or more processors configured to control the switch based on the measured one or more electrical properties.

  • Patent number: 11713995
    Abstract: A system and a method for managing inventory are provided. The system may include: a plurality of weighing devices, at least a memory, and at least a processor. The weighing devices are configured to weight at least an object. The processor is configured to receive data from at least one weighing device relating to the at least one object weighed by the respective weighing device, and to store the received data in the memory. The processor is further configured to determine at least a matching of data received from a first weighing device with data received from a second weighing device.

  • Patent number: 10845261
    Abstract: A device for measuring forces or a weighing device includes at least one sensor, at least one force input device configured to elastically deform in relation to an external force acting on the device, and a casing coupled to the sensor and the force input device. The sensor is configured such that, when the force is applied to the device, the sensor detects the force in relation to the elastic deformation of the force input device, and the casing is configured to accommodate the sensor in the casing in at least two different positions.
