Abstract: Techniques for establishing a bidirectional wireless communication link between two otherwise detachable devices when these devices are physically joined together for use as a physically joined device are provided. An example method includes receiving by a mobile computing device a short-range wireless signal from an RFID reader device; monitoring, by the mobile computing device, an RSSI associated with the signal from the RFID reader device; and establishing, by the mobile computing device, a wireless communication connection to the RFID reader device based on the measured RSSI associated with the signal from the RFID reader device being greater than a threshold RSSI value, wherein the threshold RSSI value is calibrated based on an RSSI value associated with the short-range wireless signal from the RFID reader device measured by the mobile computing device when the mobile computing device is physically joined to RFID reader device for use as a joined device.

Abstract: Single slot cradles with interchangeable tops are disclosed herein. An example cradle includes a base assembly including a coupling mechanism, a top housing assembly operably coupled with the coupling mechanism, a circuit board assembly, and a first cup assembly. The top housing assembly includes a housing opening. The circuit board assembly is at least partially disposed within the housing opening and includes a board communication interface and at least one of a power interface or a data connection interface. The first cup assembly removably couples with at least one of the base assembly or the top housing assembly and includes at least one dock to operably couple with a handheld scanning device and further includes a cup communication interface. The board communication interface communicatively couples with the cup communication interface to allow transmission between at least one of the power interface or the data interface and the handheld scanning device.
