Abstract: The present disclosure describes technologies relating to connector retention devices, receptacles with retention enhancement features, systems including the same, and method of using thereof. In exemplary embodiments, a connector retention device, including a retention clip sized and configured to engage a USB receptacle including a frame panel; a pair of opposed sidewall engaging panels extending orthogonally from the frame panel each positioned to closely confront a corresponding side portion of the USB receptacle; a spring tab including a proximal end portion connected to the frame panel and a distal end portion having a pair of protrusions each positioned to engage a corresponding spring finger of the USB receptacle; and a lever arm pivotably coupled to the spring tab; and a button component attached to the frame panel and positioned to actuate the lever arm thereby deflecting the spring tab to move the protrusions away from the spring fingers.

Abstract: The various embodiments of the present disclosure relate to devices, systems, and methods for use in monitoring and responding to roof temperature and/other environmental conditions. A monitoring system may include a first sensor configured to monitor a first condition of a given structure. A first communications device may be coupled to the first sensor and configured to output a first message providing a status of the structure. The first communications device may be configured to output the first message using a narrow band Internet of Things (NBIoT) communications topology. A remote control system may be communicatively coupled to the first communications device and configured to analyze the first message and based thereon take a first action. The monitoring system may include a remote control system that is directly communicatively coupled to the first communications device via NBIoT. The monitoring system may execute activate a thermal regulation device.

Abstract: A device for testing remote controls includes a main board, a data acquisition module (DAM), and one or more testing components. The main board communicates a testing instruction to the testing components which, then provide stimuli to a remote under test (RUT). The DAM receives, from the testing components, result data indicative of reaction(s) by the RUT to the stimuli. At least one of the stimuli is provided to the RUT and the result data is received by the DAM from the testing components. A first testing component provides a first stimuli to the RUT substantially simultaneously with a second testing component providing a second stimuli to the RUT. The first stimuli may include an acceleration of the RUT and the second stimuli may emulate a user action. The emulated user action emulates a button press, a button release, an audible input, and a touch screen action.

Abstract: Various electronic device enclosures, methods for securing an enclosure and methods for unsecuring an enclosure are described. An enclosure includes a first panel assembly, a second panel assembly, a plurality of first fasteners, and a plurality of second fasteners. A first fastener is provided with one of the first panel assembly and the second panel assembly. A second fastener corresponds to and is couplable with the first fastener and is provided with another of the first panel assembly and the second panel assembly. An interior location for the first fastener and/or the second fastener is not readily apparent when the enclosure is in a secured configuration. Coupling the first fastener with the second fastener secures the enclosure. The enclosure may be a cover flex window enclosure, a cover flex clip enclosure, a cover slide & hook clip enclosure, or a hinged cover with flex clip enclosure.
