Abstract: An adjustable holder assembly is disclosed that has a mounting structure and a display support with a center of gravity and being rotatably coupled to the mounting structure for rotation about an axis of rotation. The display support has a support structure and an adjustable counterweight assembly with a counterweight and an adjustment mechanism connected to the counterweight. The counterweight is spaced apart from display support's axis of rotation. The adjustment mechanism is adjustable to move the counterweight in a direction normal to the axis of rotation to move the center of gravity toward or away from the support structure. The adjustable counterweight is configured to provide a force feedback to a user pressing on an input portion of the computer tablet by moving the center of gravity toward or away from the support structure.

Abstract: The disclosure is directed to a sensor in which the sensing capability is made possible without need for having an independent power source of the sensor. The sensor can include a standard RFID tag, a reed switch, and an antenna. The reed switch can be closed (or opened, as appropriate) when exposed to a magnetic field. The magnetic field can be provided in various ways, e.g., an electromagnet, a permanent magnet, or an electromagnetic field (e.g., inductors wrapped around a power cord). When the reed switch is closed or opened (upon exposure to the magnetic field), the RFID tag's antenna can respond (or fail to respond, as appropriate) to a transmission signal it receives from a base station by sending a “heartbeat” signal that enables sensing in a variety of IoT applications. The sensor can be used for detecting an opening or a closing of a window.

Abstract: A modular fiber optic patch panel system is disclosed. The system includes an enclosure and at least one patch panel module mounted in the enclosure. The enclosure includes a chassis with multiple module bays, each configured to receive a corresponding patch panel module. The patch panel modules each include a module housing, an input connector and an output connector. An optical directional coupler is connected to the input connector and a photodiode is positioned adjacent the optical directional coupler to measure an optical power level conveyed on the optical fiber. A data acquisition device is connected to the photodiode to capture the optical power level data and a microcontroller is connected to the data acquisition device to store the data.
