HEAD MOUNTED DEVICE
A head mounted device includes a ring-shaped mount unit for mounting the head mounted device on a head of a user, the ring-shaped mount unit including a first housing having a band portion on each of both sides thereof and a second housing having an engagement portion to be engaged with the band portion, and the ring-shaped mount unit being formed in a ring shape that enables enlargement and reduction of a circumference thereof by engagement of the band portion with the engagement portion. The head mounted device further includes a circumference holding unit, such as a torque limiter, configured to generate a holding force at least in a circumference enlargement direction of the ring-shaped mount unit.
FIXING DEVICE, FIXING METHOD, AND COMMUNICATION DEVICE
A fixing device capable of reducing a burden on an operator when adjusting an inclination of communication equipment is achieved. A fixing device includes: a first jig configured to fix communication equipment; a second jig configured to rotatably support the first jig about a rotation shaft; a ratchet mechanism configured to be capable of switching restraint or permission of rotation of the first jig in one direction with respect to the second jig due to weight of the communication equipment, and permit rotation of the first jig in another direction with respect to the second jig; and a biasing member configured to store biasing force when the first jig rotates in one direction with respect to the second jig due to weight of the communication equipment, and bias rotation of the first jig in another direction with respect to the second jig.

PHYSICAL STAND FOR MULTIPLE DEVICE ORIENTATIONS AND PERIPHERAL CARD READER
There are provided systems and methods for a physical stand for multiple device orientations and peripheral card reader. A device stand may include a dock that allows for placement and securing of a computing device within the device case, such as through a locking or connecting mechanism. The device dock further includes a peripheral component, such as a physical card reader, that allows for reading and entry of card data into the computing device for use with an electronic transaction processing application on the computing device. This allows the computing device to process transactions electronic with an online service provider. Further, the device stand includes a hinge or joint that allows for rotating and inverting of the computing device over a curved extension from a base of the device stand, which allows the computing device to be viewed in multiple directions and orientations.
SUPPORT DEVICE AND ELECTRONIC APPARATUS
A support device includes a support structure and a carrier assembly. The support structure includes a connection groove. The carrier assembly is configured to support a host system and/or a display device and includes a first connector. At least a part of the first connector is located in the connection groove and sliding in the connection groove. An angle between the host system and/or the display device and the support structure is adjusted in a first direction and/or a second direction by sliding the first connector in the connection groove.
Mobile device mounting system
A mobile device mounting system includes a device case and a mount. The device case includes: an insert including a rectangular bore and defining a set of undercut sections about the rectangular bore; and a first set of magnetic elements arranged in a first pattern about the rectangular bore. The mount includes: a body; a polygonal boss extending from the body and configured to insert into the rectangular bore; a set of locking jaws arranged on the polygonal boss configured to transiently mate with the set of undercut sections to constrain the polygonal boss within the rectangular bore; and a second set of magnetic elements arranged in a second pattern about the polygonal boss and configured to transiently couple to the first set of magnetic elements to transiently retain the mount against the device case and to drive the set of locking jaws toward the set of undercut sections.
Gear fine-tuning pan-tilt
A gear fine-tuning pan-tilt includes a rotating base, a roll worm support seat, a roll adjusting assembly, a pitch adjusting assembly, and a bearing seat arranged in sequence from bottom to top; the pitch adjusting assembly of the complete gear structure is located on the above, and the roll adjusting assembly located below adopts an arc-shaped rack structure, which reduces the interference to the pitching movement of the upper assembly and makes the height of the pan-tilt smaller. The arc opening of the arc-shaped rack faces upwards, so that the rotation axis is closer to the center axis of the lens. The upper and lower combination of the two structures strengthens the swing ability of the top of the pan-tilt in the limited size. The structure is able to be aimed at the subject through the rotating base, and leveled the left and right, and determined the pitch angle.

Fastener system
A fastener system shifting shear stresses away from a collet body and provides clamping action to targeted structures. The fastener system includes feet in the collet body that mate with openings in a sleeve at least partially surrounding the collet body. The sleeve or the collet body includes interior threads that engage with a stud that is configured to extend through the collet body and bend the feet such that they project outward from the sleeve openings in an engaged configuration.
Display stand that adjusts to the size of the item being displayed
A display stand with an adjustable rear support that is movable along a base by way of a channel is provided. The rear support receives and sandwiches objects, each of different thicknesses, between and against a support lip. The rear support is orientated at an obtuse angle relative to the base. The channel is tapered, facilitating a tapered slide nut to move there along in concert with the rear support. A threaded fastener interconnects the rear support and the slide nut by way of the channel. The slide nut provides female threading engaging the threading of the threaded fastener. The rear support provides a slot that seats on a protrusion of the slide nut to provide anti-rotation functionality.
