A method for tracking pieces of baggage comprises the steps of providing one or more first devices, each of the first devices being attached to the pieces of baggage and each of the first devices comprising a first transceiver; transmitting, by each of the first transceivers, wireless data, the wireless data comprising a device identifier for the respective first device; providing a second device, the second device comprising a second transceiver and a user interface; receiving, by the second transceiver, the wireless data from one or more of the first transceivers; displaying on the user interface the device identifiers corresponding to the respective first devices from which the wireless data was received; selecting one or more of the device identifiers, the selected one or more of the device identifiers corresponding to the first devices that are selected for tracking; and generating, by the second device, an alarm if one of the first devices that are selected for tracking moves beyond a particular distance from the second device, wherein the particular distance may be determined using a signal strength of the wireless data received by the second transceiver.

A telescopically-extendable handle and rechargeable power supply assembly for mounting in a piece of luggage. The assembly includes a pair of spaced apart guide tubes supporting a pair of telescopically-extendable rods joined to a handle structure. A base housing component is mounted in an aperture formed in the luggage, and has a top surface. A battery module casing is mounted to and beneath the base housing component, and disposed substantially in the same plane as and between the pair of spaced apart guide tubes. A rechargeable DC battery power module is contained in the battery module casing, and provides a DC battery recharging port and a set of DC power supplying ports. Each such port is directly accessible through the top surface of the base housing component. A power port cover panel is hinged to the base housing component and has a closed configuration and an open configuration.

There is disclosed a compact wallet, comprising at least two rigid plates at least one having a channel into which an encircling elastic band is interposed to bias the at least two rigid plates inwardly and securely hold the card-like contents while providing elastic volume therebetween while allowing freedom for the dynamic extension and contraction of the band over the entire running length of the wallet. The wallet includes an auxiliary feature removably attached within the interior at least one of the at least two rigid plates interposed using a tang inserted into a recess formed inside the plate, the tang having a hook, the hook extending at an angle to the tang, the hook engaging an undercut of the recess to prevent inadvertent dislodgement of the auxiliary feature from the recess.

A security case and mounting bracket, including at least some of a base, a cavity defined within at least a portion of the base, a lid pivotable between an open position and a closed position, in the closed position the lid covers the cavity, a receiver extends from two opposing exterior sides of the base, and an elongate receiver groove extends along each receiver; the mounting bracket has a bottom portion and two extending arms, a rail element extends from an interior surface of each extending arm and is mateable with the elongate receiver grooves so as to be slidably received within one of the elongate receiver grooves; various locking mechanisms are controlled by a controller electrically connected to a data input interface, the controller is able to simultaneously or independently control the locking mechanisms to allow the security case to be unlocked and/or removed from the mounting bracket.

The application relates to a bag for transporting fragile objects, including a rigid or semi-rigid outer envelope delimiting an internal volume, partitioning elements for partitioning said internal volume, means for opening the envelope in order to access the internal volume, and means for linking to a carrier. The bag further includes a security device arranged so as to cooperate with the opening means.

The present invention is a compact wallet designed to present a minimal silhouette in a shirt, pants or purse pocket. Novel features hold the silhouette to the minimal dimensions of a credit card while affording maximal expandability for content storage and accessibility. A novel method makes additional features modularly available.

In various embodiments, a carrying bag is disclosed which includes a one or more security panel assemblies comprising a first flexible material layer and a polymeric fiber matrix, such as a polymer fiber-based cut-resistant fabric, matrix or mesh. Various carrying straps are disclosed which include a first flexible fabric or webbing; and a second flexible fabric or webbing comprising a polymeric fiber matrix. Additional polymeric fibers, filaments, cables, threads or yarns may be included in the security panel assemblies and straps, such as cut-resistant monofilament and multifilament fibers comprised of a polyethylene such as ultra high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMAWPE), high-modulus polyethylene (HMPE), or High Performance Polyethylene (HPPE), for example.

One example provides a computing system comprising a case and a wearable device associated with the case, wherein the case is configured to hold the wearable device, and a sensor is located on one of the case and the wearable device. The computing system further comprises a logic subsystem and a storage subsystem. The storage subsystem comprises instructions executable by the logic subsystem to operate the sensor on the one of the case and the wearable device to read an identifier located on the other of the case and the wearable device, compare the identifier with a stored identifier, and when the identifier does not match the stored identifier, then output an alert via an output device.
