Abstract: A barcode scanner assembly for capturing at least one object appearing in a field of view (FOV) is provided that includes a base defining a curved base surface and a scanner enclosure being mechanically coupled to the base. The scanner enclosure includes a top portion and a bottom portion opposite the top portion. The bottom portion of the scanner enclosure is positioned proximate to the base. The bottom portion of the scanner enclosure includes a curved scanner enclosure surface. The curved base surface and the curved scanner enclosure surface are nested such that a clearance of less than approximately 5 mm is formed between the curved base surface and the curved scanner enclosure surface.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for task-based modification of visual media in a heads-up display. An example system includes a heads-up display assembly configured to be worn by a user, the heads-up display assembly including a head mount and a presentation generator configured to display visual media to the user. The example system further includes a memory, and a processor configured to interface with the presentation generator and the memory. The processor identifies a current task associated with the user, and obtains a focal distance at which the visual media is to be displayed to the user during the performance of the current task. The processor causes the presentation to display the visual media at the obtained focal distance during performance of the current task.

Abstract: The inventive portable lighting device has a substantial portion thereof constructed of one or more fabric materials. The use of a fabric housing allows for additional functionality through the use of flexible storage space integrated into the devices, thereby yielding unique functionality and aesthetics. Various sized lighting devices can be designed by combining soft and hard materials (i.e., plastic, metal, fabric, rubber, foam, etc.) that allow for the addition of other objects to be securely and comfortably attached to, or carried in, the lighting device. The use of fabric also provides unique access to the batteries and bulb of the flashlight. The result of using fabric in a lighting device provides for a product family constructed of various materials that allow for flexible yet integrated looking and feeling storage solutions.
