Abstract: A universal add-on device for controlling a movable barrier opener to open and close a movable barrier includes a control module which wirelessly communicates with a user's mobile electronic device. The opener includes a hand-held remote transmitter having a push-button switch. The hand-held remote transmitter is configured to transmit wireless signals to the opener for initiating the opener to move the movable barrier upon actuation of a push button of the push-button switch. The control module is either connected to an actuator to physically actuate the push-button switch of the hand-held remote transmitter or electrically connected in parallel with the push-button switch to electrically actuate the push-button switch of the hand-held remote transmitter. The device enables a manufacturer's compatible remote transmitter or a universal remote transmitter to be utilized to control the movable barrier using the user's mobile electronic device such as a smart phone.

Abstract: A mounting system is disclosed for removably securing an object to a support surface. The mounting system includes a retaining clip having a rear wall to be secured to the support surface, and a front wall spaced from the rear wall to form a pocket therebetween with an open upper side, an aperture in the front wall opening into the pocket and extending to an upper side of the front wall, and a sliding clip having a sliding portion sized to be vertically slid into and out of the pocket, and an attachment portion forwardly extending form the sliding portion to be secured to the tablet computer. The attachment portion is closely received in the aperture when the sliding portion is in the pocket and has a thickness substantially equal to or less than a thickness of the front wall.
