International Classification:

G06K 7/10

US Classification:

23547201, 23546243, 235486

Abstract:

A clip is described for securing a strap to a housing having a slot for receiving the clip and a feature near the slot. The clip comprises a tab, a loop and a cover. The tab is shaped to fit in the slot on the housing. The loop defines an opening to receive a strap, at least a portion of the loop extending away from the housing to provide clearance for the strap. The cover is shaped to fit over the feature when the tab is inserted in the slot, the cover extending at an angle to the tab. In another embodiment, a clip is described as comprising a loop and tab. The loop defines an opening to receive a strap. The tab is shaped to fit in a slot on a housing, the tab having a first end attached to and spaced from a first edge of the loop, a second end of the tab extending in the same general direction as the loop, wherein the gap between a portion of the loop closest to the second end of the tab and the second end of the tab is less than the gap between the first edge of the loop and the first end of the tab such that when the tab is pressed into the slot, the second end of the tab is flexed away from the second end of the loop.

International Classification:

G06F 3/033

US Classification:

345173, 23546201, 345156, 345179

Abstract:

A data collection device having a touch pad, supported by a housing, for receiving input from a stylus having a first end adapted to interact with the touch pad so as to input data through movement of the first end relative to the touch pad and a second end having a light source to illuminate dark areas. The housing is adapted to receive and support the stylus. In an additional embodiment, the stylus is supported by the housing in such a manner as to allow the stylus to project light in a predetermined direction to assist with the illumination of a data source. In another additional embodiment, the housing has contacts that facilitate the provision of power to the stylus for charging a battery in the stylus and/or powering the light source. In yet another embodiment, the light source on the stylus is adapted to be controlled via user interaction with interface elements on the housing, such as keys, buttons, or the touch pad.

International Classification:

B60P 1/64
G01S 19/13

Abstract:

A shelving and package locating system for delivery vehicles includes one or more shelves for storing packages within a package-delivery vehicle during delivery. Each package is associated with both a geographic delivery address and an assigned location on a particular shelf within the package-delivery vehicle. A GPS unit determines the location of the package-delivery vehicle during delivery, and a computer provides the shelf location of a particular package when that package's delivery-location information substantially corresponds to vehicle-location information.
