Abstract: A mounting bracket for releasably securing an article to a structure includes a first and second bracket assembly each including one or more ring clamps defined by opposed ring end arms, a clamp base defining one or more pairs of slots each receptive to corresponding ones of the opposed ring end arms of the ring clamps, and a clamp base coupling. One set of ring clamps with one of the clamp bases are engageable to the article. The other set of ring clamps with the other one of the clamp bases are engageable to the structure. One of the clamp bases couplings is engageable with the other clamp base coupling, and a locking pin is removably engaged therewith.
Abstract: A mounting assembly for transferring electrical power to an inductively powered device is contemplated, with a plurality of magnets positioned inside the mounting assembly includes for magnetically attracting and retaining the inductively powered device against a face plate, and for axially aligning the inductive power receiver of the inductive powered device with the inductive coil assembly inside the mounting assembly. A mounting support member is attached to the back plate of the mounting housing with adjustable joint for adjusted the orientation of the mounting housing relative to the mounting support member. The magnets retain the inductively powered device against the face plate and in the correct orientation with the inductive coil assembly even against forces which would otherwise disturb the inductive coupling, permitting use of the mounting assembly to transfer power in non-horizontal orientations and in moving vehicles.

Abstract: A device for charging a mobile device, which is also capable of converting a digital audio signal of a mobile device in to an analog audio signal, includes a first digital interface, a digital to analog converter, and a preamplifier. The first digital interface is configured to provide power to a mobile device connected thereto in order to charge the mobile device, and the digital audio signal from the mobile device is passed to a digital to analog converter. A second digital interface or an analog jack may be incorporated, which is connectable to a headphone or other audio output device.
