Module connection mechanism capable of genderless coupling
A module connection mechanism for coupling adjacent modules, has a connector for connecting the modules. The connector has a substrate having a plurality of terminals for transmitting power and signals, installed between the modules, a fixing body disposed to surround the substrate and having a fixing wing with a wing thread formed at an outer surface thereof, and a fixing ring disposed to surround the fixing body and having a ring thread formed at an inner surface thereof, so that the ring thread moves to cover an outer surface of the fixing body.
Torque-Limiting Torque Sleeve with Fail-Safe Failure Mode
A torque-limiting torque sleeve may include an inner sleeve and an outer sleeve configured to be coupled to one another in a coaxial arrangement such that the outer sleeve is fixed relative to the inner sleeve in the longitudinal direction. A first end of the outer sleeve overlies a first end of the inner sleeve, and a second end of the inner sleeve extends from the outer sleeve to provide an exposed length. A torque limiting feature is configured such that rotation of the outer member in a first direction enables tightening of a coupler on an interface port up to a predetermined torque limit, and rotation of the outer member in a second direction opposite to the first direction loosens the coupler on the interface port. In the event that the torque limiting feature fails such that rotation of the outer member in the first and second directions does not tighten or loosen the coupler on the interface port, the exposed length of the inner member is gripable by a user to tighten or loosen the coupler on the interface port.

Connector assembly
This disclosure presents a connector assembly for providing a waterproof connection to a case for an electronic device. The connector assembly includes a connector body, an electrical cable, and an electrical conductor. The electrical conductor is electrically connected to the electrical cable and electrically engages the installed electronic device to convey at least one of data and power between the installed electronic device and the electrical cable. The connector assembly also includes an outer sleeve configured to freely rotate around the connector body and further configured to removably connect the connector assembly to the case. The outer sleeve includes a securing region to removably secure the connector assembly to the case, an inner gasket to seal an inner sealing interface of the outer sleeve with the connector body, and an outer gasket positioned to seal an outer sealing interface of the outer sleeve with the case.

LOCKING AND UNLOCKING SYSTEM
A secure locking and unlocking system includes a plug body that is cylindrical in shape, a locking ring and a notched washer. One face of the notched washer is positioned on the locking surface of the locking ring. The system further includes a holding pin that locks the position of a locking element and an upper ring mounted on the locking ring. The locking ring includes a ramp-shaped groove with a linear part, a rising ramp and a descending ramp. A ramp spring is configured so that the locking or unlocking movement of the upper ring is mobile and the locking ring is fixed. The upper ring includes a hole in which a lug is placed. The end of the lug cooperates with the ramp-shaped groove of the locking ring that guides the upper ring in relation to the locking ring.
