Abstract:
1. A universal module capable of being removably coupled to each of a plurality of distinct products for demonstrating an actual functionality of any of the coupled products, wherein at least one of the distinct products has a normal operating mode powered by an alternating current (“AC”) power source and at least another of the products has a normal operating mode powered by a first direct current (“DC”) power source, the universal module comprising: a DC power source; an activation switch operatively coupled to the DC power source; an external electrical connector operatively coupled to the DC power source and the activation switch, the external electrical connector configured to removably couple the universal module to an external circuit of one of the plurality of distinct products; and a circuit having an integrated circuit (“IC”) that is operatively coupled to the DC power source, the activation switch and the external electrical connector, wherein when the external electrical connector is coupled to the external circuit and the activation switch is activated, the IC outputs a voltage from the DC power source through the external electrical connector to enable an actual functionality for a predetermined period of time in a demonstration mode of a coupled product having the normal operating mode powered by the AC power source or a coupled product having the normal operating mode powered by the first DC power source.
