The clearance adjustment member including: a magnetic force including a through hole, the magnetic force unit configured to be attached to a bracket that is mounted on a wall; a screw beam disposed in the through hole of the magnetic force unit; and an adjustment unit connected to the screw beam, the adjustment unit configured to move along the screw beam to adjust a clearance between the wall and a display device that is to be connected to the adjustment unit. According to the present disclosure, it is possible to adjust the clearance between the wall and the display device simply and precisely.

An input device assembly with a support pad is provided. The input device assembly includes the support pad and an input device. The support pad includes a first main body and a first magnetic attraction element. The first main body has a first bottom surface and a first curvy surface. The input device includes a second main body and at least one second magnetic attraction element. The second main body has a second bottom surface and a second curvy surface. The first curvy surface of the support pad is contactable with one of plural portions of the second curvy surface of the input device. The first magnetic attraction element and one of the at least one second magnetic attraction element are magnetically attracted by each other. Consequently, the support pad is in close contact with the input device.

A magnet holder insert comprising a magnet and magnet holder housing designed with internal wall features capable of keeping the magnet properly positioned in the holder device, and external wall features capable of keeping the magnet holder device securely mounted in the finished part. The internal and external fastening elements of the magnet holder housing are designed in such a way as to promote rapid and secure assembly of both the magnet device and the finished part. The exposed surface of the magnet holder device can be configured with flat or dome shaped exposed contact surfaces, depending on how secure or flexible the magnetic joining feature is intended, capable of attaching to another magnet device or a material susceptible to magnetic attraction.

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.

A ventilation fan unit for causing air flow with respect to a room having a ceiling, the room designed for occupancy by a person. The fan unit has a fan unit housing mounted in the ceiling and having an air vent on a room facing surface of the fan unit housing for drawing air from or delivering air to the room. A replaceable panel is provided with a first surface and a second surface, the replaceable panel is removably attachable with the room facing surface of the fan unit housing by way of coupling between the replaceable panel and the fan unit housing so that the replaceable panel can be removed and replaced with another replaceable panel attachable to the fan unit housing by way of the coupling. The replaceable panel, when attached to the fan unit housing, is positioned to obstruct the person's view of the air vent while allowing flow of air therethrough

An earbud includes a housing that includes a driver assembly positioned within the housing forming a front volume in front of the driver and a back volume behind the driver. An acoustic insert is positioned behind the driver assembly and attached to an interior surface of the housing such that it forms a bass channel that is routed from the back volume to a vent in the housing.

For alignment of rotational shafts, two devices for attachment to circular faces of two shaft segments. Each of the two devices has a laser photoelectric device for ascertaining a dimension of displacement of the two shafts from a desired axis of rotation relative to each other. Each of the two devices having a base surface with two linear contact edges designed to engage with a circumferential surface of a shaft and to ensure alignment between the device and an axis of rotation of the shaft to within a tolerance compatible with alignment tolerances of the shaft. Each of the two linear contact edges includes at least two terminal end regions and a center region together defining a line contact at linear intersection of two surfaces meeting at a non-zero angle linear contact edges designed to affix and release from the shaft surface, and to ensure parallel alignment between the device and an axis of rotation of the shaft to a precision allowing measurements to within tolerances required by machinery driven by the shaft. The base surface of at least one of the devices has been modified from its commercially-delivered condition to provide raised rails designed to improve tactile feedback of to a user of the alignment between the base and an axis of rotation of the shaft, and has affixed thereto two rails designed to improve tactile feedback of to a user of the alignment between the base and an axis of rotation of the shaft. Each base has a magnet and a switch to vary magnetic flux for affixation and release from the shaft surface. Each device has brackets designed to securely and reproducibly position laser photoelectric devices relative to the base and axis of rotation of the shaft. The attaching includes a human placing at least one of the devices slightly askew relative to the axis of rotation of the shaft, and the human gently twisting the device to allow the liner contact edges to seat on the circumferential surface of the shaft, to provide tactile feedback to the human to confirm parallel alignment between the at least one device's laser photoelectronic device and the axis of rotation of the shaft.
