Abstract: Systems and methods for detecting a first level disengagement of the wireless access point electrical plug with the electrical outlet and providing a notification responsive to the first level of disengagement of the electrical plug with the electrical outlet. Detecting a second level of disengagement that is larger than the first level disengagement of the electrical plug with the electrical outlet and turning off the power supply responsive to the second level disengagement. The response to the second level disengagement of the electrical plug with the electrical outlet includes turning off the power supply such that the one or more additional access points take over the Wi-Fi access from the access point. The sensor can be either mechanical or optical and the distance of detecting the first level and second level disengagement is measured in millimeters.

Abstract: An air flow redirection system for redirecting exhaust air flow away from an external surface upon which the device is positioned, the device may include a housing including a first side, a second side opposite the first side, at least one sidewall extending between the first side and second side, a vent, the vent defining an opening extending through the at least one sidewall placing an interior chamber of the device in fluid communication with an exterior region, at least one rib defining slots in the vent, and an arc. Air flow produced by a fan located in the interior chamber is directed towards the vent in a first direction, and the arc acts in combination with the at least one rib and raises a direction of the air flow upward in a second direction towards a plane of the first side as the air flow exits the vent.

Abstract: Disclosed is a system including a fan module and a flexible cable. The flexible cable has a first end and a second end. The flexible cable includes a first portion at the first end electrically connected to the fan module and a second portion that extends from the first portion towards the second end and includes one or more contact targets adjacent the second end. The one or more contact targets are configured to engage one or more respective connectors on a circuit board. The fan module may further include a housing and a fan. The housing includes a first member located at a first side, a second member located at a second side, and a slot defined by the first member and the second member. The flexible cable extends through the slot and perpendicularly extends to the second side of the housing to connect to the circuit board.

Abstract: An electrical plug connector may include a housing defined by a body, a first prong, and a second prong. The first prong includes a first portion and a second portion including a first recess located on the second portion. The second prong includes a third portion and a fourth portion including a second recess located on the fourth portion. Each of the first prong and second prong outwardly extend from an end of the housing. The first prong may also include a third recess located opposite the first recess and the second prong may also include a fourth recess located opposite the second recess. The recesses arranged on the first prong and second prong are configured to engage a contact member located in a corresponding receptacle of an electrical outlet to retain a position of the electrical plug connector in the electrical outlet and restrict movement in an axial direction.

Abstract: Disclosed is a compact electronic device configured to efficiently manage air circulation and prevent overheating. The device features an innovative cooling system comprising a fan module within a uniquely structured housing that includes a base portion, an inner casing, and a removable top cover. The inner casing features strategically placed windows that direct drawn airflow over specific power supply components, enhancing cooling performance. The enhanced cooling is also provided by an air gap formed between the base portion and the top cover, as well as sidewall intake paths of varying widths adjacent the windows. These features work together to draw in and distribute ambient air effectively across heat-generating components, leveraging negative pressure created by a fan module. The result is a highly efficient cooling mechanism for compact devices such as wireless access point configured to plug into electrical outlets.

Abstract: A wireless device with a slot antenna includes one or more heat spreaders, a PCB with vias to allow current to flow through the PCB, various components disposed on the PCB, and a slot antenna compliment. By layering the components, e.g., heat spreaders, PCB, slot antenna compliment, etc. one or more slot antennas are formed from these components as to integrate the slot antennas into the existing structure. The formed slot antenna is a spiraled shape as to reduce the overall footprint of the slot antenna while keeping the required quarter-wavelength total effective length of an open-slot antenna. The formed slot antenna is wide enough to allow the antenna to accommodate a wide bandwidth and may include a plurality of steps to further allow for tuning of the length of the slot antenna. The wireless device can further include a housing enclosing the internal components.
