摘要:
A pivot assembly for use with headgear that includes a headtop and a shield, and a method for coupling the headtop to the shield using the pivot assembly. The pivot assembly can include a housing, a socket dimensioned to be received in the housing and having a plurality of first engagement features, and a post having a plurality of second engagement features adapted to engage the first engagement features. The pivot assembly can further include a spring dimensioned to be received in the housing to bias the first engagement features and the second engagement features into engagement, while allowing relative rotation between the post and the socket. A method can include moving the socket in a first direction into the housing, moving the post in a second direction that is different from the first direction toward engagement with the socket, and moving the spring in the first direction into the housing.

A deactivating device for magnetic markers in an electronic article surveillance (EAS) system includes a housing adapted to constrain typical audio and video cassettes in preferable orientations with respect to first and second deactivating surfaces. The first deactivating surface includes a first magnetic insert, which includes a first magnet designed to produce a deactivating magnetic field which deactivates markers affixed to audio and/or video cassettes without causing audible signal degradation of the prerecorded magnetic media within the audio or video cassette. The second deactivating surface includes a second magnetic insert and second magnet designed to produce a deactivating magnetic field which deactivates markers placed in the recessed edge of video cassette without causing audible signal degradation of the prerecorded magnetic media contained in the video cassette. An alternate magnetic insert which can be substituted for the first and second magnetic inserts is also described.

A library terminal permits a user to execute a loan transaction without assistance. The library terminal (i) provides a visible scan line from a bar code reader indicating the correct positioning of the bar code on a circulating item, (ii) leads a user through a loan transaction, (iii) provides an explicit feedback to a user when an article has an improper position on the article receiving area, (iv) both checks out and checks in circulating items, (v) stores fonts in bit maps of screen displays instead of in a separate font memory, (vi) integrates a security marker reader, a printer, and a controller in the same housing, (vii) processes financial transactions related to the borrowing of circulating items, and/or (viii) displays actions for helping the user to correct errors in use of the terminal.
