Abstract: A rotatable interface assembly for an electrical connector, an electrical connector, a connector system, and a method for coupling the system is presented herein. The rotatable interface assembly includes a connector component, having an electrical contact for electrically connecting electrical elements via a corresponding counter connector. The rotatable interface assembly further includes a base part and a rotatable part. The base part at least partially houses the connector component and has a securing means for being secured to a fixed counterpart. The rotatable part being configured to receive the corresponding counter connector at least partially under a specific angular orientation. The rotatable part is arranged on the base part, so as to be rotatable around a rotational axis relative to the base part. The rotatable part can be rotated around the rotational axis in a desired angular orientation that matches an orientation of a corresponding counter connector, to allow to receive the corresponding counter connector under different angular orientations, relative to the base part.

Abstract: The present invention discloses a modular lamp, including several modular units and lamp connectors, where the modular unit is a single lamp, and the lamp connector is configured to connect to the modular unit; and a male connector terminal on either side of each lamp connector is electrically plug-connected to a female connector terminal of one modular unit. In the present invention, female connector terminals connected to a power cable and a control cable are disposed on the modular unit, matched male connector terminals are disposed on the lamp connector, and the lamp connector is directly plug-connected to multiple modular units, so that the multiple modular units can be simultaneously physically and electrically connected to obtain the modular lamp. In this way, diversified lighting requirements can be met by adding different installation accessories to the modules. In addition, assembly operations can be completed by simply performing plugging and unplugging operations, without needing a professional to perform cable-connection and cable-routing between the modular units. Special scenario requirements such as good lighting effects and high ambient temperatures can be met by adjusting module power.

Abstract: A push pull coupler for hydraulic or other line that pivots about two axes in response to a predetermined tensile force exerted by a line connected to an adapter of the coupler, so that a face of the adapter is normal to the predetermined tensile force. A tensile force greater than the predetermined tensile force causes the disconnection of the line from the adapter. In one embodiment, a second push-pull coupler pivots around a third axis different from the first and second axes, responsive to a second predetermined tensile force that doesn't have to be parallel to the first predetermined tensile force. The faces of the couplers' adapters therefore become normal to the respective tensile forces exerted on them prior to disconnection of the lines.

Abstract: An information handling system power adapter removably couples with a multi-axis plug that rotates between storage, wall socket and power strip positions. The storage position rotates prongs that insert into a power socket so the prongs are retracted into the power adapter, rotates prongs to plug into a wall socket so that the power adapter aligns parallel to the wall having the wall socket, and rotates the prongs to plug into a power strip socket so that the power adapter aligns perpendicular to the power strip having the socket. The multi-axis plug inserts into a power cable receptacle of the power adapter so that an end user may selectively remove the multi-axis plug and insert a power cable that terminates at a plug to connect the power adapter with a power socket through the power cable.

Abstract: The present invention provides a unit or segment having a ball, a socket and a connector with the connector physically linking the ball and socket together such that a main opening of the socket continuous with the socket cavity faces away from the connected ball. Alternatively, a unit/segment may instead include a ball and a socket coupled directly together. Elongated structures comprising a plurality of units joined together in series, such as through ball joints and other connections, are further provided that may vary greatly in length and size. The ball and socket may have corresponding electromagnets and magnetic materials, respectively, that may attract or repel each other to cause controlled rotational movement of the individual ball joint(s) by controlling the operation of the electromagnets. Higher order structures including one or more elongated structures are further provided. Methods for constructing and/or operating units and/or elongated structures are further provided.

Abstract: A connector which can absorb thermal expansion and contraction of a substrate, or positional deviation of the substrate, and which enables the male and female connectors thereof to be fitted to each other where the male and female connectors are inclined to each other. A male terminal of a male connector, and a female terminal of a female connector are slidable relative to each other when in contact with each other. The male terminal and the female terminal are rotatable relative to each other about a contact point when in contact with each other, and hence the male terminal and the female terminal can be attached and detached to and from each other at an arbitrary rotating position.
