A Harmonious Work of Paper-Thin Elegance
Posiflex's Mozart BT Series, aptly named, strives to unite all its structural, functional, and aesthetic elements into a seamless harmony, reminiscent of a Symphony composition. Following the design principle of "less is more," the thinner display, host, and stand, along with narrower monitor bezels, not only reduce the system's size and weight but also enhance its functionality. Every curve and angle is meticulously crafted to convey a sense of elegance. Integrated and concealed designs ensure the elimination of exposed cables and connectors, presenting a clean and uncluttered aesthetic. The overall outcome is a sleek, harmonious, and elegant masterpiece.
Ripple Brand Identity
The ripple icon on the start button and thermal printer gives a sense of brand identity, symbolizing the continued vitality and the continuous quest for innovation and user benefit. The burgundy red on the sides of the stand suggests understated luxury and the deep, round taste associated with red wine.
Brilliant Modularity
Modular design has consistently been the pinnacle of innovation in Posiflex products, and the Mozart BT Series has elevated modularity to new heights. Each main component, from displays to the host and thermal printer, is independent, facilitating easy installation, removal for repair and maintenance, yet seamlessly integrates in function and structure when assembled into the system. The thermal printer is cleverly incorporated into the stand, becoming an integral part of the POS terminal base. Alternatively, it can function independently, showcasing a design that optimizes both space and functionality ingeniously.
User-Friendly Ergonomic Designs
The Mozart BT Series POS terminal incorporates ergonomic designs to optimize the user experience. Narrow bezels on the displays minimize interference with the user's view, directing attention to the screen. Moreover, the adjustable angles of the displays cater to the user's comfort and dynamic needs. Both main and secondary displays can be vertically oriented, aligning with current market trends. Additionally, all peripherals are positioned at the same level from the user's perspective, promoting heightened comfort.
State-of-the-Art Specifications
The Mozart BT Series POS Terminal stands out with a host of impressive features. It runs on the latest operating systems, including Android 13 with EDLA certified (GMS) or Windows 11 OS, available in both x86 and RISC variants. The terminal is powered by up to the latest 13th-generation Intel processor, ensuring top-notch performance. Users can choose between a 15" or 15.6" LCD display, notably the 15.6" main screen featuring oTP technology (typical 400 nits) for vibrant colors and high brightness. Plus, the terminal offers versatility with accessory and attachment choices, including the 3-in-1 side attachment for RFID/MSR/FPU, iButton, 2D BCR (discrete/side attached), and the detachable printer.
These features combine to provide a powerful and versatile electronic POS system with high-speed processing power and the ability to run the latest applications to meet the changing needs of the retail and hospitality industry.

PHOENIX (AP) — From heartbreak and devastation to outrage, Emily Pike's tragic death is stirring heavy emotions and putting the spotlight to a crisis that has long plagued Native American communities, where a disproportionate number of people have been killed or have gone missing.
In the case of the San Carlos Apache teenager, she disappeared from her group home on the edge of a Phoenix suburb in late January.
Authorities posted her picture on social media, saying she was missing and had possibly run away. Just a couple inches shy of 5 feet tall, she was wearing a pink and gray shirt.
It was nearly a month later that sheriff's deputies in a neighboring county reported finding and identifying Pike's remains. It was more than 80 miles (129 kilometers) from where she was last seen.
Since then, news of her brutal death has reverberated through Indian Country and beyond. A crowd gathered Thursday at an intersection in Mesa, near her group home, to honor her life and to press for changes that might help curb the violence.
Dozens of people of all ages viewed the vigil's program on a large inflatable projector. Clad in red, they embraced, shielded candle flames on the windy night and held posters that read “No more stolen sisters” and “Justice for Emily Pike.”
“These tears that are shed are a part of a healing process,” said Mary Kim Titla, a member of the San Carlos Apache Tribe. Titla was wearing pink — Pike’s favorite color. She said Pike had dreamed of becoming a veterinarian.
Tony Dunkin and his 12-year-old daughter at the vigil performed a “jingle” dance, which he said has an origin of healing. Dunkin's father spoke in Apache before the dance, and sang a lullaby.
“May she sleep well,” Dunkin’s father said of Pike.
Advocates say the crisis stems from colonization and forced removal, which marginalized Indigenous people by erasing their culture and identity. Limited funding, understaffed police departments and a jurisdictional checkerboard that prevents authorities from working together have only exacerbated the issue.
Pike's case has drawn the attention of hundreds of thousands of people through social media. Some have shared photos of themselves, their mouths covered with a red handprint that has become emblematic of the movement to end the violence. Posts included the hashtags #NoMoreStolenSisters, #SayHerName and #JusticeforEmily.
In Wisconsin, organizers planned for their own candlelight vigil. Fliers in Colorado encouraged people to wear red, and Daisy Bluestar, a Southern Ute tribal member on Colorado's Missing & Murdered Indigenous Relatives Task Force, posted a video about Pike with the hashtag #ColoradoStandsWithYou.
The girl's basketball team at Miami High School in Arizona wore jerseys with “MMIW” and a red handprint on the back.
“We’re all mourning this terrible loss of a precious young girl. Emily really has become everyone’s daughter, granddaughter and niece,” Titla said.
Titla herself has three female relatives who went missing and were killed. She said the community has come together to honor Pike and to demand justice. This shared solidarity comes from a desire for healing from historical and generational trauma, she said.
“It affects so many people," Titla said, “and I think the reason is because we all know someone — it could be a relative, it could be a friend, it could be in our own tribal community.”
Pike's remains were found northeast of Globe, Arizona, the Gila County Sheriffs Office said.
Like many others, her case involves multiple agencies. Gila County is working with Mesa police, the Bureau of Indian Affairs and the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
Mesa police typically don't investigate runaway reports, but the agency did list Pike as missing on its Facebook page two days after the group home reported she was gone.
Arizona's Department of Child Safety requires notification of a child's missing status to occur within a day of receiving the information. However, that requirement doesn't extend to tribal social services, according to Anika Robinson, president of the nonprofit foster care advocacy group ASA Now. Pike was in the custody of San Carlos Apache Tribe Social Services, which could not be reached for comment, at the time she went missing from the group home in Mesa.
Mesa police reported Pike as missing to the National Crime Information Center the evening of Jan. 27. Police have said it would have been up to the group home to contact her case manager who then would have contacted Pike's family or tribe.
The girl's mother, Steff Dosela, has said in interviews that she didn't hear about her daughter’s disappearance until a week later.
Robinson questioned why it took so long. “Imagine what probably had already transpired by that week,” she said.
Arizona Gov. Katie Hobbs in 2023 created a task force to identify policies for addressing the high rates of disappearances and killings among the Native American population. A final report is due in 2026.
Washington, New Mexico, Michigan, Wisconsin and Wyoming also have created task forces dedicated to the crisis.
President Donald Trump during his first term created the nation's first task force to begin looking at the problem, dubbing it Operation Lady Liberty. The Biden administration followed with a special unit within the Bureau of Indian Affairs, U.S. attorneys' offices in key areas began taking a closer look at unsolved cases, and top officials held listening sessions across the nation. Just last month, the federal government launched an initiative to help solve missing and unidentified person cases.
Tiffany Jiron, executive director of the Coalition to Stop Violence Against Native Women, said more comprehensive law enforcement training that address jurisdictional challenges, increased funding for tribal programs that provide shelter, mental health resources and legal aid to impacted families and survivors and strengthened alert systems are among the policy solutions that advocates should continue to fight for to address the systemic crisis.
“As an Indigenous people, we are not invisible,” she said. “We deserve just as much attention from law enforcement. Our cases are involving real people, real families, real children.”
