A vehicle system is disclosed herein. The vehicle includes a vehicle structure. A vehicle component is coupled to the vehicle structure via electromagnetic attraction. The controller is configured to generate a command to vary the amount of electromagnetic attraction between the vehicle structure and the vehicle component in response to a received vehicle threat signal.

A mount for an electronic device includes a ferromagnetic element securable to the electronic device, and a mount body including a face plate and at least one leg, the magnet secured in the face plate, and the at least one leg movable from a stored position to a support position. The stored position is flush with the face plate, and the support position is normal to the face plate. The magnet and ferromagnetic element combine with the leg in it support position to allow reliable mounting of heavy and/or oversized electronic devices.

There is provided an apparatus having a beverage container holder and a beverage container, wherein the beverage container holder has a holding device for arranging the beverage container holder on a receptacle, and has a receiving device for detachably fixing the beverage container in place. The beverage container has an internal recess for receiving a liquid, and has an arrangement device designed to be complementary in shape and area to the receiving device. A magnetic device is provided on the receiving device and/or the arrangement device for their mutually detachable fixing. The arrangement device of the beverage container extends from a bottom side of the beverage container toward the internal recess, and has at least one surface area facing toward the receiving device, and the surface area corresponds to at least one segment of an outer surface of an ellipsoidal body.

A vent mount has a housing that defines an open top slot and an interior cavity receptive to a fragrance cartridge through the open top slot. A first rotatable joint element has an extension stalk centrally fixed to the housing. A magnetic device mount head has a second rotatable joint element coupled to the first rotatable joint element. The vent mount has a vent grill clamp centrally fixed to and extends from the fragrance cartridge housing.

A portable retainer for securing personal electronic devices on the backs of seats is provided. The portable retainer provides a core having communicating wire holes adjacent each end of thereof, through which an elastic wire protrudes for either hanging from a seatback in an upright hanging position or being supported in a pocket of the seatback in an inverted propped up position. The portable retainer provides front and rear endplates that are peripherally broader than the core for facilitating winding the elastic wire about the core in a stored position. The endplates may provide a slot for magnets, to which anchor plates can removably attach to a desired electronic device in either the hanging or the propped-up positions for viewing the anchored electronic device from selective angles and height, due in part to the rigidly malleable elastic wire.

A rotationally limited connection system that includes a first mount to hold an object or couple with an object, a first ferromagnetic coupling element that includes a material attracted to a magnet or wherein the material includes the magnet, a first mechanical coupling element. The first mechanical coupling element includes at least one protrusion to limit rotation of the first mount with respect to another object in 90 degrees increments. The first mount is coupled with the first ferromagnetic coupling element and the first mechanical coupling element.

A retaining assembly to attach one or more mobile devices to a mobile object. The retaining assembly may include a mounting plate that attaches to the mobile object by way of a mounting bracket or scorecard clip-on. The mounting bracket provides dovetails for selecting engaging the mounting plate in different orientations. The mounting plate facilitates various magnetized components to removably attach to the mobile device. If the mobile device has a third-party extensible grip, a retaining ring may be employed to attach the mobile device or the extensible grip modified to one of the various magnetized components.

Provided is a wireless charging system for a portable terminal, the system including: a terminal accessory which is fixed to the rear surface of a portable terminal and in which a transmission coil for generating a magnetic field for electromagnetic induction-type wireless charging is embedded; and a wireless charging device which is couplable to the terminal accessory by using magnetism, wherein: the terminal accessory and the wireless charging device include a first electric contact point and a second electric contact point, respectively, and thus, when the terminal accessory and the wireless charging device are coupled to each other, the first and second electric contact points come into contact with each other, so that power is supplied from the wireless charging device to the transmission coil embedded in the terminal accessory; and two or more magnets arranged in different polar directions from each other are provided at the wireless charging device.

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.
