Abstract: A method and arrangement for wirelessly charging a barcode reader in a base station is disclosed. The barcode reader and base station each have an induction coil. The induction coil in the base station is electrically coupled to an electric power source, and generates an electromagnetic field. The induction coil in the barcode reader is electrically coupled to a power storage component. The barcode reader is configured to rest on the base station. When the barcode reader is resting on the base station, the induction coil in the barcode reader is exposed to the electromagnetic field, and a current is induced in the induction coil in the barcode reader. A positioning feature of the base station constrains movement of the barcode reader along a first plane, and permits rotation of the barcode reader about a vertical axis that is substantially normal to the first plane.

Abstract: Systems and methods for adaptive energy storage in an illumination system are disclosed herein. An example method includes (1) obtaining, by one or more processors, data stored at a memory of a illumination unit; (2) obtaining, by one or more processors, a temperature value from a temperature sensor; (3) analyzing, by one or more processors, the obtained data and the temperature value to determine a capacitor voltage to operate LEDs in accordance with an illumination cycle; and (4) control, by one or more processors, a voltage controller to convert an input voltage to the voltage controller to the determined capacitor voltage, wherein the voltage controller is configured to apply the determined capacitor voltage to a capacitor.

Abstract: A variety of barcode scanner assemblies for inductive charging include a reader, a stand, a first inductive coil having a first coil axis, and a second inductive coil having a second coil axis. For some assemblies, in the charging position, gravity and a cradle of the stand urge alignment of the first inductive coil and the second inductive coil along the first coil axis and the second coil axis and minimize a gap between the first coil axis and the second coil axis. For some assemblies, in the charging position, a torque is exerted upon the reader by gravity, the torque urging proximity between the first inductive coil and the second inductive coil and alignment features of the stand urge alignment of the first inductive coil and the second inductive coil along the first and second coil axes.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus for providing indications of shutdown states for handheld devices are disclosed herein. An example handheld device includes a power source, a power source monitor, an indicator, and a processor disposed inside a housing. The power source monitor is configured to detect whether the power source has reached a pre-determined amount of discharge at which the internal power source is to be shut down to prevent damage. The processor configured to, when the internal power source has reached the pre-determined amount of discharge: configure the indicator to provide, while the internal power source is in the shutdown state, an indication that the internal power source is shutdown, and configure the internal power source into the shutdown state such that the processor is de-energized.

Abstract: Scanning systems are disclosed herein. An example scanning system includes a cradle and a barcode scanner. The cradle includes a cradle cavity portion, a cradle controller, a force sensor communicatively coupled therewith, and a first securing feature positioned at or near the cradle cavity portion and being communicatively coupled with the cradle controller. The barcode scanner includes a housing having a scanner housing cavity, an imaging assembly adapted to capture an image of an environment appearing in a field of view (FOV) and being at least partially disposed within the scanner housing cavity, a scanner controller adapted to control operation of the imaging assembly, and a second securing feature. In response to the force sensor sensing vibration exceeding a threshold value and/or the cradle being mounted in a predetermined orientation, the first and second securing features selectively interact to retain the barcode scanner within the cradle cavity portion.

Abstract: An example method for managing power within an imaging device includes: determining an interface of the imaging device via which the imaging device is receiving power; based on the interface, determining a power budget associated with the interface; determining which fixed load components of the imaging device are enabled; calculating a remaining power budget by subtracting a power consumption of the enabled fixed load components from the power budget; responsive to the remaining power budget being positive, configuring non-fixed load components such that a total power consumption of the non-fixed load components does not exceed the remaining power budget; and responsive to the remaining power budget being negative, providing, via a user interface, a notification of insufficient power budget.
