20130097006 | ELECTRONIC TRANSACTION SYSTEM WITH ENTITLEMENT AND PROMOTION ENGINES - A system for selling and administering the redemption of travel site access and other privileges to consumers has a computer connected to the Internet that pushes and pulls data to and from a database including site and privilege data, such as, description, cost, purchases, access code, privilege redemption and promotion data. The consumer may purchase access to sites and goods over the Internet and are provided with an access code which can be presented to the consumer in a variety of forms in accordance with the consumer's preference. In one embodiment, the code is sent to a mobile phone or computer. Optionally, the mobile device can communicate with a point of sale device to allow access to a given site. The mobile device may also be used to send promotions, such as discounts, to the consumer, which may be programmatically selected and sent based upon logistical, empirical, timing and marketing criteria. Point of sale devices and human representatives may facilitate non-technical consumer use by conducting selected functions, such as the sale and redemption of privileges and the communication of promotions. | 04-18-2013 |

20110111617 | ELECTRO-OPTICAL READER WITH CABLE CONNECTOR RELEASE - A cable release accessory releases an electrical cable that is connected to an electrical device, such as a handheld moving beam reader or a handheld imaging reader for electro-optically reading symbols. The cable is terminated by a male connector that engages a female socket in the housing during reading. The male connector has a movable locking clip that releases the cable when moved. The accessory includes a holder mounted on the cable exteriorly of the device, and an elongated actuator supported by the holder and extending into the device into an overlying relationship with the locking clip. The actuator is movable against the locking clip for depressing the locking clip to release the cable. | 05-12-2011 |
20120085824 | OBJECT PROXIMITY SENSOR RECESSED INTO IMAGING READER - An electro-optical imaging reader includes a chassis mounted in a housing, a window spaced from a rear wall of the chassis, an imaging module for capturing return light from a target through the window over an imaging field of view, a controller for operating the reader in a standby state in which no target is read, and for processing the captured return light to read the target during a reading state, and an object sensing assembly supported by the rear chassis wall and spaced from the window. The object sensing assembly senses the presence of an object bearing the target in front of the window by detecting return sensing light from the object through the window over a sensing field of view that at least partially overlaps the imaging field of view, and triggers the controller to change from the standby state to the reading state upon such detection. | 04-12-2012 |

20090039874 | INDUCTIVE POSITION SENSOR - A system to measure the displacement of relatively moveable bodies along an axis comprising: a resonant electrical intermediate device further comprising an inductor, whose width varies along the displacement axis, and a capacitor in electrical series which cooperates with an antenna comprising transmit and receive windings whose mutual inductance varies according to the position of the electrical intermediate device relative to the antenna. | 02-12-2009 |
20090160789 | PRESSURE SENSITIVE INDUCTIVE DETECTOR FOR USE IN USER INTERFACES - An apparatus for user interfaces is described to measure inductively the deformation of a body ( | 06-25-2009 |
20090261844 | INDUCTIVE DETECTOR - A low cost, high performance method and apparatus for identifying electrical intermediate devices and measuring their position relative to an antenna is provided. The technique preferably uses electrical intermediate devices co-operating with AC energized antennae. The resulting electrical data can be used in a wide variety of user interfaces, identification systems and sensors to measure, for example, rotary position, linear position, weight, level, torque, vibration, turbidity and flow. The invention includes means for the contactless transmission of data and power to general instrumentation. | 10-22-2009 |
20100001718 | INDUCTIVE POSITION SENSOR - A detector to measure the displacement of relatively moveable bodies along an axis comprising: a resonant electrical intermediate device further comprising an inductor, whose width varies along the displacement axis, and a capacitor in electrical series which co-operates with an antenna comprising transmit and receive windings whose mutual inductance varies according to the position of the electrical intermediate device relative to the antenna. | 01-07-2010 |
20100045360 | DETECTOR - A device for measuring the position of a first body relative to a second body comprising: a first body which further comprises an electrical intermediate device; a second body which further comprises at least two inductors energised with an alternating current and at least one of which is formed by a planar spiral winding on a printed circuit board normal to the measurement axis and attached to the second body; arranged such that displacement of the electrical intermediate device causes a change in inductance of the planar spiral winding and whereby measurement of the ratio of the inductances indicates the position of the first body relative to the second. | 02-25-2010 |

20160121982 | Snorkeling Device - A snorkeling device for breathing underwater at various depths. The snorkeling device includes a mouthpiece and an elongated hose having a first end and a second end, wherein an internal spring is disposed therein to allow for the hose to expand or contract, depending on the desired depth of the user. The device further includes a floatation member having an opening so as to receive the hose therethough. In operation, the flotation member allows the second end of the hose to remain above the water. The second end of the hose includes a splash guard that prevents water from entering the hose. The device further includes a divider extending through the length of the hose and a valve disposed in the mouthpiece, wherein fresh air travels down one side of the hose and expelled air travels up and out of the other side of the hose. | 05-05-2016 |
