The invention relates to a system (10) for powering display devices (11) for displaying goods-related information, comprising an elongate base body (12) and at least one closure device (14). The main part (12) has a channel (16) for receiving the display devices (11), and the main part (12) has two end portions (18). Each end portion (18) has one of two channel (16) end portions (20) in which the display devices (11) can be received. The system (10) has at least two current conductors (21, 22) which are arranged in the channel (16), and a power supply contact (28) of each display device (11) can be contacted with a respective current conductors (21, 22) by receiving the display devices (11) in the channel (16). By connecting the closure device (14) to the end portion (18) of the main part (12), a respective supply line (32, 34) of the closure device (14) can be contacted with the current conductors (21, 22). The invention also relates to a goods presentation system and to a method.

An electronic shelf label system includes a powered rail for holding electronic shelf labels. The front side of the rail includes a recess that is physically configured to receive a protrusion at the upper rear side of the shelf label. The shelf label further comprises a lower hook member for engaging with a lower edge of the rail. The rail may comprise two conductors for providing the labels with power and data for display on the label. Data and power may be provided via a controller and power module connected to the back of the rail.

An electronic shelf label for displaying information. The electronic shelf label includes: a casing including at least one side surface, a front side and a back side; an information display area arranged in the front side; and at least two curved recesses arranged at a distance from each other in the at least one side surface, the at least two recesses are intended for attachment of an external information display sign to the electronic shelf label. Also, an information display sign for use in combination with the electronic shelf label.

Provided is a method of displaying price tag information applied to a price tag generating apparatus in a shelf system which includes a shelf and at least one display screen arranged on the shelf. The method includes: acquiring an image of a commodity placed on the shelf; determining price tag related information based on the image of the commodity, wherein the price tag related information comprises price tag information of the commodity; and sending the price tag related information to a target display screen, which is a display screen for displaying the price tag information in the at least one display screen, and the price tag related information being configured to allow the target display screen to display the price tag information.

An electronic price label system, an apparatus and a method for managing an electronic price label are disclosed. The electronic price label includes a display and communication device. In the method, the identifier in an electronic price label is read and, based on the read identifier, a command is sent to the electronic price label by means of a near field. The command can be an emptying command and/or extinguishing command for an electronic price label or it can be a command containing a new state and/or price.

A syringe system, including a plunger, a microcontroller, a battery, and a coil. The syringe barrel having a proximal end, a distal end, and a cylindrical sidewall defining a longitudinal axis, the cylindrical sidewall extending longitudinally between the proximal and distal ends, the sidewall having an exterior surface and defining an internal volume, the plunger being positioned between the proximal and distal ends of the syringe barrel and being movable within the internal volume with respect to the syringe barrel in the longitudinal direction. The syringe barrel further includes a label disposed on the sidewall and having at least two conductive strips extending in a non-parallel direction with respect to the longitudinal axis and having unique lengths. The microcontroller is configured to determine a position of the plunger with respect to the syringe barrel by measuring a current induced in the coil by the at least two conductive strips.

Self-laminating label assemblies, self-laminating labels and methods for laminating label facestocks are described herein. The self-laminating label assemblies may include a label support liner and one or more self-laminating label(s) releasably affixed to the label support liner. Each self-laminating label may include a label facestock releasably affixed to the label support liner and a laminating facestock for at least partially laminating the label facestock. The laminating facestock may be releasably affixable to the label support liner, directly or indirectly, and may be provided between a non-laminating configuration in which at least part of the aminating facestock is releasably affixed to the label support liner for holding the laminating facestock thereon or thereabout, and a aminating configuration in which the laminating facestock is at least partially affixed to, and laminates, the label facestock.

A greeting card having a housing of metal or a metal alloy that defines an interior void and an electronic ink display screen, a Bluetooth adapter or dongle comprising Bluetooth low energy (BLE) technology within the interior void and operatively configured to communicate with the display screen, a non-transitory memory storage device, and another electronic component within the interior void. The Bluetooth adapter or dongle is configured to receive from an external electronic device a first communication of information describing an initial message to be displayed, and to receive, subsequent in time to receipt of the initial message, a second real time communication of information describing a second message. The non-transitory memory storage device has pre-loaded executable instructions to display the first communication on the display screen, to change or modify the initial message based on the second real-time communication, and to display the second message on the display screen.
