Title: Hand-held dual technology identification tag reading head
Inventor: EBERHARDT NOEL H
IPC: G06K7/10
Filed: 1994-02-08
Abstract: A hand-held dual reading head including a hand-held housing having a light transmissive window at one end thereof; and containing an actuatable bar-code reader, which produces a light beam which exits the housing via the window and detects light from the beam reflected from a bar code tag to generate a first electrical signal corresponding to bar code data read from the tag. The housing also contains an actuatable radio frequency tag reader which includes a transmit/receive coil mounted adjacent the one end of the housing containing the window, for producing a radio frequency signal of a first frequency to energize a radio frequency transponder-type identification tag and for receiving an identifying signal of a second frequency transmitted by an energized radio frequency identification tag to provide a second electrical output signal corresponding to the tag identifying signal, preferably in the same signal format as the bar-code data. The reading head has a common signal output connected to receive the first and second electrical signals, and a manually actuatable switch arrangement mounted on the housing for selectively actuating one of the bar-code tag reader and the radio frequency tag reader depending on the type tag to be read. Preferably, the housing is gun-shaped and the switch arrangement is a trigger-like normally OFF switch with two ON positions, one for each of the readers.

Title: Apparatus and method for adjusting the position of a supporting element in a seat
Inventor: BENSON JOSEPH
IPC: B60N2/90
Filed: 1998-02-27
Abstract: The apparatus stimulates the muscles of a seat occupant. The apparatus includes a flexible supporting element adapted to be coupled to a seat for movement relative thereto and driving means for automatically and repeatedly moving the flexible supporting element through an adjustment cycle. The adjustment cycle includes a plurality of first incremental movements in a first direction followed by a plurality of second incremental movements in a second direction. Each of the first and second incremental movements are separated by a first time interval. The method relieves muscle fatigue in a seat occupant by incrementally adjusting the curvature of the supporting element and generally includes the steps of placing a supporting element in a first position operatively engaging a muscle of the seat occupant wherein the first position defines a first degree of curvature of the supporting element. The method further includes automatically adjusting the curvature of the supporting element according to an adjustment cycle that includes maintaining the first degree of curvature for a first time period, increasing the degree of curvature a first amount after the first time period to define a second degree of curvature, maintaining the second degree of curvature for a second time period, and decreasing the degree of curvature of the supporting element a second amount after the second time period to define a third degree of curvature wherein the first time period is equal to the second time period.
