Abstract: A permanently installed absence of voltage tester (AVT) may include a connectivity verification system for verifying the connectivity of system cable leads to the main power lines in electrical equipment. An installed AVT may indicate whether the electrical equipment is in an electrically safe state without first requiring direct access to the equipment. One step in the AVT test procedure may include connectivity verification by the connectivity verification system, which may include a sub-procedure to confirm that the installed AVT is directly coupled as intended with direct connection to the equipment being monitored. The connectivity verification system may validate that the AVT is measuring the actual voltage on the power lines of the electrical equipment and has not registered a no-voltage condition due to an unknown disconnection error or installation failure.

The cable tie head also includes a locking wedge and a release mechanism pivotally connected to the locking wedge. The strap body includes a plurality of teeth on one side of the strap body. The strap body wraps around the cables and extends through the strap passageway engaging the locking wedge to secure cables. When desired, the release mechanism is lifted to disengage the locking wedge from the teeth of the strap body to release the cables.

Abstract: A cabinet defined by a frame with front vertical posts, back vertical posts, and front to back beams extending from the front vertical posts to the back vertical posts. Equipment rails are secured to the frame at the front and the back of the cabinet. The equipment rails include vertically orientated holes extending there through. The vertically orientated hole in one of the front equipment rails is aligned with the vertically orientated hole in one of the back equipment rails to create a pathway between the vertically orientated holes. An enclosure is installed in the pathway between the aligned vertically orientated holes thereby connecting the front equipment rail to the back equipment rail.

Abstract: A data center cabinet has an equipment rail movably secured to front-to-back beams by a retaining mechanism. The retaining mechanism has a threaded member extending through a front-to-back beam and the equipment rail and a handle rotatable relative to the threaded member. A first cam disk is positioned between the handle and equipment rail and is fixed to the equipment rail and a second cam disk is positioned between the handle and first cam disk and is fixed to the handle. First and second surfaces of the first and second cam disks are engaged with the handle in a first position to provide a clamping force between the equipment rail and front-to-back beam to prevent movement of the equipment rail and the first and second cam surfaces are disengaged with the handle in a second position to remove the clamping force to allow movement of the equipment rail.

Abstract: A self-laminating rotating cable marker label is constructed of a transparent film having a first adhesive area, an adhesive-free smooth area, and a second adhesive area. A print-on area forms one side of the transparent film, the print-on area adapted to receive indicia identifying the cable about which the marker label is applied. A perforation extends across the transparent film providing a line of separation of the transparent film. When wrapped around a cable, the second adhesive area overlies the print-on area such that the cable identifying indicia is visible through the transparent second adhesive area. As the transparent film is wrapped around the cable, the first adhesive area adheres to the cable. The remainder of the transparent film is rotated, breaking the perforation, whereby the smooth area of the film in contact with the cable provides smooth rotation of the label around the cable.

Abstract: A system, device, and method for implementing secure control over audio-visual (AV) equipment connected to an AV gateway is disclosed. The solution includes utilizing a user device to remotely control the AV gateway by connecting both the user device and the AV gateway to an Internet of Things (IoT) network, and facilitating communication between the user device and the AV gateway via messages using an MQTT broker or IoT cloud services.

Abstract: A system and method for optimizing a display layout of multiple video streams at a sink device is provided. The display layout of multiple streams may be dynamically optimized based on a number of different variables, including characteristics of the sink device, total number of active incoming streams, active audio, and other characteristics of the source material or device. The source of an incoming media stream may contain useful characteristics for optimizing the display layout of multiple media streams. One such characteristic of a source device may include the device type, such as laptop, PC, phone, or tablet. Information may be extracted from each incoming stream in order to predict a source device type from which the incoming media stream originates.

Abstract: A system, device, and method for implementing secure control over audio visual (AV) equipment connected to an AV gateway is disclosed.
