  • Publication number: 20210255530
    Abstract: A wall controller is provided. The wall controller includes a projection screen having an input device and a projector arranged to project a digital image onto the projection screen from the projector, wherein the projector has an optical axis that is non-orthogonal to the projection screen. The wall controller includes a housing having the projection screen mounted thereto at a first end of the housing, the housing having the projector at a second end of the housing. The housing is dimensioned to fit the second end of the housing through an aperture in a first wall, fit the second end into a wall space between the first wall and a second wall, and fit a majority of the first end of the housing into the aperture until the projection screen is parallel to a surface of the first wall and a front portion of the projection screen is flush with, recessed in or extends from the surface of the first wall. The aperture dimensioned to fit the first end of the housing or the front portion of the projection screen.

  • Patent number: 10606216
    Abstract: Watch case including: a case middle; removable horns; and at least one nut. The nut is inserted in a housing formed in the thickness of the case middle. A nut portion protrudes to the outside of the case middle. A removable horn-retaining screw is engaged in each nut. The thickness required to accommodate the screw is not supported by the case middle, but by the projecting nut portion. It is thus possible to make case middles that are very thin, and therefore light-weight, while at the same time ensuring attachment of the horns to the case middle.
