Abstract: Transaction usage metrics for terminals and maintenance records for the terminals are evaluated in view of suggested maintenance actions for peripherals and/or components of the peripherals associated with the terminals. Any open service records for terminals predicted to require a maintenance action based on the evaluation have the maintenance action added to their open service records. A new open service record is generated for any terminal predicted to require the maintenance action based on the evaluation when an existing open service record for the corresponding terminal was not detected. In an embodiment, service calls associated with the open service records are monitored for compliance and non-compliant actions are flagged for reporting.

Abstract: An electronic system for a firearm includes a power source, one or more electrical conductors electrically connected to receive power from the power source, and a plurality of electronic devices. Each electronic device has an electrical input configured to receive power from the one or more electrical conductors to power the electronic device. A communication device is configured for data communication across the one or more electrical conductors. A method of communicating between electronic devices connected to a firearm includes powering a plurality of electronic devices connected to a firearm from a power source through one or more electrical conductors, and communicating data between the plurality of electronic devices across the one or more electrical conductors.

Abstract: A cover for a cushion includes a first panel, a second panel, and a primary receptacle defined between the first panel and the second panel. The primary receptacle may receive a primary cushioning element, such as a pillow, a pillow insert, or a fill material. At least one of the first panel and the second panel includes a secondary cushioning element. The secondary cushioning element may be defined from a compressible, resilient elastomeric material that defines a plurality of thin interconnected walls that in turn define an array of open cells or columns. Each cell or column may have a hexagonal shape, imparting the array of open cells or columns with a honeycomb appearance. Methods for assembling a primary cushioning element with such a cover are also disclosed.

Abstract: An extendable universal support assembly is especially adapted for use in maintaining computers and other electronic devices. A mounting bracket pivotally mounts two laterally spaced sets of pairs of vertically aligned anchors. A first set of pairs of arms of substantially equal length are pivotally mounted to the bracket anchors. A second set of arms of uniform length are mounted between the arms of the first set of arms by a pin to define a second pair of parallel pivot axes which are parallel to the first pair of parallel pivot axes. A frame is pivotally mounted to the second set of arms. A table is rotatably mounted to a platform supported on the frame and is positionable about a rotation axis parallel to the first and second pivot axes. The table is variably positionable relative to the mounting bracket and is rotatable about the axis of rotation. A pair of retainers is preferably mounted to the table and adjustably positionable relative to the table for retaining the computer or device on the table.

Abstract: A power system for a firearm includes a buffer tube adapter that attaches to a buffer tube of the firearm. A buttstock slidably engages with the buffer tube adapter along an axis, and the buttstock is adapted to adjust a length of the firearm. A power source is held by the buffer tube adapter and is at least partially covered by the buttstock. The power source is configured to power electronic accessories mounted to the firearm. The power system is mountable to the firearm without altering the buffer tube of the firearm.
