UPDATING A STATIC IMAGE FROM AN ACCESSORY TO AN ELECTRONIC DEVICE TO PROVIDE USER FEEDBACK DURING INTERACTION WITH THE ACCESSORY
An accessory for a portable device can include a number of selectable operational states. In order to convey information about the current operational state to a user, the accessory can be configured to generate a state signal that is directed to the primary device for the accessory. The state signal can include information, such as a static image, about the current operational state that can be displayed on a display device of the primary device. Where a primary device has multiple states than cannot easily be displayed to a user, an accessory can be used to generate a state signal that can be directed to a secondary device in order to display the state information for the primary device using the secondary device.

A tubular lock unit has a lock and key. An upper pin seat and a lower pin seat with multiple pins are respectively mounted in the lock. A shaft is inserted into the lower pin seat and connected to the upper pin seat. The upper pin seat has an annular keyway and a slot is defined in a sidewall. The key has a barrel and a protrusion extending out of the barrel. When the key is inserted into the keyway, the protrusion is inserted into the slot and a lower end of the protrusion meets with an upper end of the lower pin seat to rotate the upper pin seat. When an improper key is inserted into the keyway and rotated, at least one of the pins will remain extended into the upper pin seat to prevent rotation.

A powered stapler includes a housing and a stapling engine within the housing. The stapling engine includes a staple driving assembly and a rotational drive train operable to actuate the staple driving assembly. A stack height compensation mechanism is integrated with the rotational drive train of the stapling engine and is distinct from any portion of the housing. The stack height compensation mechanism is operable to enable the stapling engine to compensate for varying stack heights of sheets to be stapled by the powered stapler.
A coding scheme is provided that relates to a dimension of a user. The dimension may be a hand size. Depending on the dimension, a code in the coding scheme may be determined. The code indicates an optimal ergonomic setup for a user. A user may thus use the determined code to adjust the product to a position corresponding to the code. At this position, the product may be in an optimal ergonomic setup for the user. Alternatively, the user may select a product according to the determined code.
