Systems, methods, and devices for securing structures include a fastener that includes a threaded body and a head. The head includes a rounded axial protrusion having a first radial diameter, and a noncircular radial portion for securing the fastener. The noncircular radial portion has a second radial diameter greater than the first radial diameter. The noncircular radial portion is positioned between the threaded body and the rounded axial protrusion.

System, apparatus, and method for securing structures

An apparatus detects a free-fall state of an electronic device, determines an orientation of the electronic device with reference to gravity when the free-fall state is detected, and predicts that the electronic device will strike a surface within a critical angle range. The prediction is based on the detection of the free-fall state and on the orientation of the electronic device. An electromagnetic torque is generated within the electronic device that re-orients the electronic device outside the critical angle. The apparatus comprises a processing system, a free-fall sensor coupled to the processing system, an orientation sensor coupled to the processing system, a magnetic-field generator, and a first coil that is electrically coupled to the processing system.
