Security systems and methods for protecting retail display merchandise from theft are provided. For example, a security system includes a sensor configured to removably engage an input port of an item of merchandise, and a monitoring component configured to wirelessly communicate with the sensor and to removably support the sensor thereon, wherein the monitoring component and the sensor are configured to communicate with one another to determine a proximity of the item of merchandise relative to the monitoring component, wherein the monitoring component and/or the sensor is configured to initiate a security signal when the proximity between the monitoring component and the sensor is not within a predetermined range, and wherein the monitoring component and/or the sensor is configured to initiate a security signal in response to the sensor being removed from the input port of the item of merchandise.

Systems and methods for protecting retail display merchandise from theft

Security systems and methods for protecting portable electronic devices from theft are provided. For example, a security system includes a sensor configured to be secured to a portable electronic device, and a monitoring component configured to wirelessly communicate with the sensor and to removably support the sensor thereon, wherein the monitoring component and the sensor are configured to communicate with one another to determine a proximity of the portable electronic device relative to the monitoring component, wherein the monitoring component and/or the sensor is configured to initiate a security signal when the proximity between the monitoring component and the sensor is not within a predetermined range. The sensor and the monitoring component are configured to communicate with one another for initially setting the predetermined range.

System and method for calibrating a wireless security range

A merchandise security device for securing items of merchandise from theft is provided. The merchandise security device may include a printed circuit board and a base containing the printed circuit board. The security device may include a sensor electrically connected to the printed circuit board and configured to engage a support surface for detecting unauthorized removal of the base from the support surface. The security device may also include a tether configured to be coupled to one or more items of merchandise, and a spool rotatably disposed within the base for winding and unwinding the tether, wherein the tether is configured to be extended and retracted relative to the base. The printed circuit board is coupled to the spool such that the printed circuit board is configured to rotate relative to the base when the tether is extended and retracted, and the sensor is configured to remain stationary when the tether is extended and retracted.

Recoiler sensor

A fiber reinforced polymer beam may be manufactured by winding one or more strands of resin coated fibers about four pins mounted upon a winding fixture, each pin being independently translatable along the winding fixture and being independently extendable into, and retractable out of, the winding fixture. As the fiber is wound around the two exterior pins the interior pins will retract and translate to positions exterior of the pins being wound and will then extend to receive the next wrap of fiber. As the exterior pins are wound the interior pins continue to be translated to a position outside of the pins being wound so as to be in position to receive the next wrap of the fibers.

Method for producing fiber reinforced polymer beams, including leaf

Method and device for enhancing the adhesion qualities of vehicle wheels through the use of a plurality of embedded members having exposed high frictional surfaces, which are capable of automatically being caused to attain frictional contact with a wheel bearing surface in response to slippage. Under normal conditions where enhanced friction is not needed, the embedded members lie in a relative retracted position from which they may respond to slippage conditions as needed.
