A movable wall panel system is disclosed. The movable wall panel system may include at least one monitoring system to monitor at least one area adjacent the movable wall panel system. The movable wall panel system may include a touch screen as part of an operator interface.

Systems and methods for controlling the operation of a movable panel wall system

A movable wall system includes a plurality of movable wall panels including a first movable wall panel and a second moveable wall panel rotatably coupled together through at least one hinge. The movable wall system further includes a biasing system which biases the first movable wall panel and the second movable wall panel into an arrangement wherein a panel face of the first movable wall panel and a panel face of the second moveable wall panel are generally parallel.

Anti-float systems and methods

The subject invention relates to an assembly and method for attaching a stud to a lamp housing that decreases the overall size of the automotive lamp assembly. The apparatus has a collar molded over a stud. The collar attaches the stud to the lamp housing by being shear welded to the lamp housing. The stud is prevented from rotating about its longitudinal axis, so that it can serve to mount the lamp housing to an automobile.

Shear welded mounting stud assembly

A mounting plug for pivotably connecting a first component to a second component. The mounting plug comprises a ball stud portion comprising a ball and a post. The post comprises means for attaching the ball stud portion to the first component. The mounting plug further comprises a base and a socket chamber integrally molded on top of the base. The socket chamber is adapted to removably and pivotably retain the ball stud portion. The mounting plug further comprises a channel integrally molded to the base adjacent to the socket chamber, with the channel adapted to allow the ball to be inserted there through and into the socket chamber. The mounting plug further comprises a retainer portion integrally molded below the base. The retainer portion comprises at least one tab integrally molded to the retainer portion and adapted to removably secure the socket portion to the second component.

Headlamp mounting plug

A mounting assembly for at least one array of light emitting diodes (LEDs) comprises at least one metal circuit board and mounting bracket. The circuit board has one or more LEDs attached to it and at least one first engaging opening and at least one second engaging opening formed through the circuit board. The first engaging opening is key shaped with a larger portion and a narrowed elongated portion so that engaging surfaces are formed adjacent opposite edges of the narrowed portion. The mounting bracket is formed of a electrically non-conducting material such as plastic with at least one first engaging tab and at least one second engaging tab formed thereon. The first engaging tab is configured to have a narrow portion and a larger portion connected to the outward end of the narrow portion so that there is a gap formed between the edges of the larger portion and the mounting surface. The larger portion is dimensioned to be able to be passed through the larger portion of the first engaging opening but too large to pass through the elongated narrowed portion of the first engaging opening, and the narrow portion is dimensioned to be able to fit into the elongated narrowed portion of the first engaging opening so that the larger portion of the first tab engages the engaging surfaces when the narrow portion of the first tab is moved into the elongated narrowed portion of the first engaging opening. The second engaging tab is configured and positioned to enter and engage the second engaging opening when the narrow portion of the first tab is moved into the elongated narrowed portion of the first engaging opening to lock the circuit board in position against the mounting bracket.
