An anti-theft bracket according to the present invention is an anti-theft bracket provided near a parking driver. The parking driver is connected to a parking actuator via a harness with a connector of the harness inserted in the parking driver. The anti-theft bracket includes a connector detachment restricting part covering the connector.

An electrical board for connecting two electrical harnesses to each other includes a module holder and at least one connector module to establish the connection between the two electrical harnesses, said connector module comprising a base engaged with the module holder, a perforated core extending the base and allowing connection of the two harnesses to each other via plugs. The module holder includes a fixed jaw, a movable jaw mounted to pivot on the fixed jaw, and locking means for holding the mobile jaw in the closed position.

A fitting base of a plug includes a supporting element including at least one opening suitable for receiving at least one connector of the plug, a first stationary portion projecting from the supporting element, a first movable portion secured to the first stationary portion, the movable portion having a shape and dimensions suitable for the insertion thereof into a first cavity in the plug when the at least one connector of the plug is fitted in the at least one opening in the supporting element.

A method and system for contraband detection is provided that allows for the determining whether devices are authorized to receive power from an outlet. A power adapter and/or an outlet authenticate a device when it is connected to the outlet through the power adapter. On the basis of this authentication, a determination is made whether the devices are to receive power from the outlet. If the device is authorized, the outlet is activated, transitioning from inactive state (where no power is relayed through the outlet) to an active state (where power is relayed through the outlet).

In one example, a connector for providing security to an article of merchandise is provided, wherein the article of merchandise includes an input port and internal circuitry. The connector includes a connection portion configured to releasably engage the input port of the article of merchandise. The connector also includes a conductive shield and at least one pair of ground conductors. At least one of the ground conductors is configured to electrically connect to the conductive shield to define a sense loop when the connector is engaged with the article of merchandise. Interruption of the sense loop is indicative of a security event.

An anti-theft connector head structure includes at least a connector head, a latch lock piece, a fastening ring, and a protection sleeve. On a side of a main body of the connector head is disposed a first connector end, on the other side of the main body is disposed a second connector end. The latch lock piece is a flexible wire body, a tail portion of a movable end on one side of the latch lock piece is provided with a buckle, on the other side of the latch lock piece is a fixed end, disposed on the main body of the connector head. In a center of the fastening ring is provided with a connector seat, connected and fixed to a fixed point. In the protection sleeve is provided with a chamber, to receive the fastening ring and the buckle.

A system for monitoring electrical device usage and controlling power thereto includes a plurality of power outlet control plugs and an external computing device in electrical communication therewith. Each power outlet control plug includes a smart plug in electrical communication with an electrical device. The smart plug includes electrical circuitry, power prongs that are receivable by an AC wall outlet and a power receptacle that includes slots into which the plug of the power cord of an electrical device is received. The electrical circuitry of the smart plug is selectively switchable between a first state and a second state to selectively connect and disconnect power from the AC wall outlet to the electrical device. The external computing device provides a control signal to the smart plug of one of the power outlet control plugs to selectively switch the electrical circuitry thereof between the first state and the second state.

A backshell assembly for a bulkhead electrical connector includes a lug defining a central lug bore, a nut defining a central nut bore, and a ring defining a central ring bore. The lug is configured to be coupled to the bulkhead electrical connector, the nut is configured to be coupled to the lug, and the ring is configured to be retained by the nut at least partially within at least one of the central lug bore and the central nut bore. A wire assembly to be coupled to the bulkhead electrical connector includes electromagnetic shielding, and such electromagnetic shielding is configured to be electrically grounded to the bulkhead electrical connector via the backshell assembly.

In one example, the connector includes a body portion configured to be connected to a cord and a connection portion engaged with the body portion and comprising a plurality of conductors. The connection portion includes a conductive shield electrically connected to a plurality of the conductors when the connection portion is not engaged with the article of merchandise, and the connection portion also includes at least one ground conductor that is not electrically connected to the remaining conductors and/or the conductive shield when the connection portion is not engaged with the article of merchandise. At least one of the conductors and/or the conductive shield is configured to cooperate with the ground conductor to define a sense loop when the connector is engaged with the article of merchandise, and interruption of the sense loop is indicative of a security event.

A system for unlocking a charging plug inserted in a charging socket of a vehicle, a sensor device, which, when the charging plug is inserted in the charging socket of the vehicle, is designed to detect a person's hand when gripping a handle of the charging plug; a control device designed to check whether the vehicle is unlocked and/or the person is authorized to enter the vehicle, when the hand is detected, and unlock the charging plug inserted into the charging socket, if at least one of the two conditions has been successfully checked. Furthermore, the invention relates to a method for unlocking a charging plug inserted in a charging socket of a vehicle.
