A system to couple a controller to a roadside aerial lighting fixture includes a primary male connector integrated with the controller and a primary female connector integrated with the roadside aerial lighting fixture. The primary male and female connectors are compliant with a roadway area lighting standard promoted by a standards body. The primary male connector protrudes from a first substantially planar surface of the controller. The primary female connector is recessed within a second substantially planar surface of the roadside aerial lighting fixture. A controller-side data connector protrudes from the first substantially planar surface or a third surface substantially parallel to the first substantially planar surface. A fixture-side data connector is recessed within the second substantially planar surface or recessed within a fourth surface substantially parallel to the second substantially planar surface. When the controller is rotatably coupled to the roadside aerial lighting fixture, the primary male connector is electrically coupled to the primary female connector, and the controller-side data connector is communicatively coupled to the fixture-side data connector.

A mounting assembly for electro-mechanically connecting an electrically-powered device to a structure includes a housing, a first printed circuit board, an adapter, and a second printed circuit board. The housing has a shape defining a front opening and a first mating structure. The first printed circuit board is located within the housing and has a first plurality of electrical contacts facing the front opening. The adapter is attachable to the device and has a second mating structure that removably engages with the first mating structure of the housing. The second printed circuit board is coupled with the adapter and has a second plurality of electrical contacts exposed on its back surface to electrically connect to the first plurality of electrical contacts when the first mating structure of the housing engages with the second mating structure of the adapter.

An electrically operated aerosol-generating system is provided, including: an aerosol-generating device; a charging unit to receive the device; and first and second connector parts, the device having one of the first and the second connector parts and the charging unit having the other one of the first and the second parts, in which the first part includes a first electrical contact, a second electrical contact circumscribing the first contact, and a third electrical contact circumscribing the second contact, the second part includes a face and a projection arranged centrally in the face, the projection being defined by an end face, and a sidewall extending between the face and the end face of the projection. An electrically operated aerosol-generating device, a charging unit for charging an aerosol-generating device, and an electrical connector for an electrically operated aerosol-generating system, are also provided.

A combination outlet connector is disclosed. The combination outlet connector includes an outlet core having three T-shaped apertures. The outlet core has a core outer surface to mate with a first connector type, such as a C14 connector, and electrical terminals are positioned in corresponding apertures. A removable adapter sleeve is positionable around the outlet core and has a sleeve outer surface to mate with a second connector type, such as a C20 connector. The adapter sleeve includes a sleeve aperture at least partially congruent with the core outer surface. The electrical terminals are configured to connect with mating terminals of the first and second connector types. A removable adapter shroud can be positioned around the outlet core. The shroud includes a shroud inner surface to receive the first connector type and a shroud flange having a shroud aperture at least partially congruent with the core outer surface.

An electronics tracking device is useful for tracking use of electronic devices, such as durable medical equipment (DME), typically used at remote locations, such as a patient's home. The electronics tracking device can be securely attached to an electronic device and a power cord that supplies power to the electronic device can be connected to the tracking device. The tracking device can then be connected, with its own power cord, to power. Power to the electronic device flows through the electronics tracking device. The electronics tracking device includes a wireless communications circuit that permits the device to send a signal to a monitoring location, where the signal includes data regarding whether the electronics tracking device is plugged in and whether the DME is powered on or off. The monitoring location can use exceptions to notify a DME provider when the DME is not used for a certain period of time.
