Abstract: In various implementations, a raceway may include a housing with walls and arms extending from the housing. A cavity may be disposed in the housing and cables may reside in the cavity, during use. The cables may provide connectivity to receptacles of the raceway and thus a variety of devices. A cover may be utilized with the housing to facilitate access to the cables in the cavity of the housing. In some implementations, the cover may be retained by flexible arms of the housing. The raceway may be configured to receive wire clips to retain cables and/or conduit disposed in a cavity of the raceway.

Each of the first and second buttons is actuatable in the first axial direction. The fastening device further includes first and second claws slidably disposed within the housing, each of the first and second claws including a hook portion extending outward from an engagement face of the housing. Each of the first and second claws engages one of the first or second push buttons within the housing so that relative movement of the first and second buttons toward one another moves the hook portions of the first and second claws away from one another in the first axial direction.

Abstract: A portable display screen that can be broken down into components for easy transport and storage, while also being relatively easy to assemble into a self-supporting display screen with a flat surface without distracting wrinkles or other defects.

Abstract: A piece of furniture, such as a lectern, has a shell with an opening. A rack for electronic equipment is mounted within the shell. The rack can be slid between a stowed position in which the rack is entirely within the furniture and an access position in which the rack extends through the opening and is partially outside the shell.

Abstract: A mechanical assembly of a multi-strand cable including a plurality of strands and a substrate, the plurality of strands being aligned at the substrate in a first direction and the substrate having a convex edge in a plane perpendicular to the first direction. The plurality of strands is assembled on the substrate by swaging the strands around the convex edge, leading to the deformation of a portion of the strands around said convex edge. The substrate includes an opening in a plane substantially parallel to the first direction, the edge of which forms at least one portion of the convex edge. The swaging operation is carried out on the portion of the strands positioned between the edges of the opening such that a portion of the plurality of punched strands passes through the opening and projects around the convex edge onto the top and bottom sides thereof.

Abstract: Some embodiments are directed to a connector-type female plug including a body; a module including a plurality of slots, each of the slots configured to receive an end of a strand of a cable and arranged so as to be plugged into by a rear face of the body; a lever pivotably mounted on the body in such a way as to be able to move between an open position and a closed position attained after lowering the lever in such a way as to grasp a rear face of the module and to push same into a completely plugged-in position; and a lock that can move along a sliding mechanism between a locked position, in which the lock is arranged in such a way as to hold the lever in the closed position, and an unlocked position.

Abstract: There is provided a lighting controller for a luminaire (70, 71, 72, 73, 74, 75) in a room (50).
