Abstract: A hearing device includes a housing elongated along a longitudinal axis, having an oval cross section, and configured to house electrical components. A loudspeaker disposed outside the housing in an intended wearing state of the hearing device is interconnected with at least a part of the electrical components. A plug connector is connected to the loudspeaker and carries at least six contact elements for interconnecting the loudspeaker with corresponding electrical components. A plug connector receptacle for receiving the plug connector interconnects the contact elements. The plug connector receptacle is disposed in a surface of the housing oriented toward a lower side in the intended wearing state. The plug connector and the plug connector receptacle define a plug-in direction extending from a front side to a rear side in the intended wearing state.

Abstract: A secure data entry device including a housing having at least one housing element, at least one additional element located within the housing, at least one force sensitive switch, employing at least one force sensitive film, disposed within the housing in force sensing engagement with at least one of the at least one housing element and the at least one additional element and arranged to sense tamper induced displacement thereof relative to at least another one of the at least one housing element and the at least one additional element and to provide an electrical output indicating tampering and a tampering responsive circuit, responsive to the electrical output indicating tampering.

Abstract: A secure keypad including a housing, a keymat within the housing defining a plurality of depressible keys and including at least one conductive trace traversing at least some of the depressible keys, a key contact board within the housing and being cooperative with the keymat for providing data entry inputs responsive to depression of the depressible keys and a tamper detection circuit coupled to the conductive trace for providing an output indication of tampering with the keypad responsive to a change in the electrical characteristics of the conductive trace resulting from the tampering.

Abstract: A slidable magnetic card reader particularly suitable for magnetic payment cards having at least one longitudinal edge surface, the card reader including a magnetic card reading head operative to provide a data output in response to sliding thereby of a magnetic card bearing readable magnetically encoded data and a sliding track defining assembly including an elongate magnetic card edge engagement surface arranged for sliding engagement with a longitudinal edge surface of a magnetic card, the elongate magnetic card edge engagement surface extending at least to a location generally underlying the magnetic card reading head, at least a portion of the elongate magnetic card edge engagement surface being electrically conductive and being coupled to electrical ground.

Abstract: The present invention provides a device (1) for creasing, perforating and/or folding paper or other similar media to suit envelopes of various sizes. The device (1) includes a selectable creasing (15) or perforating head (20) which cooperates with an anvil (35), a Top Of Form sensor (46), a jam roller (59), associated pinch rollers (49, 63, 66) and a firmware for entering the paper size and type of paper for folding. After a predetermined paper length is fed into the paper path, the creasing (15) or perforating head (20) traverses a width of the paper to form a crease and after a predetermined length of paper passes the Top Of Form sensor (46), the jam/pinch rollers (59/49, 63, 66) are programmed to reverse in direction to cause the paper to buckle at the crease to form a fold. The types of folding operable by the device (1) are: letter, z, engineering, gate or half-fold.
