  • Patent number: 12213264
    Abstract: A server information handling system is secured by a bezel that couples to an access location, such as an air vent at a front or rear face of a housing. The bezel includes a security structure having a lock and configured to couple directly at the front face or with a bezel extension at the rear face so that the server information handling system can use the same bezel with both a front face or rear face rack mount. The bezel has a lock integrated with the security structure, an air filter that fits over the security structure to filter air flowing into the housing, and a filter brace that captures the air filter by coupling to the security structure over the air filter. The filter brace attaches and detaches at the security structure when the security structure locks a server information handling system housing so that the air filter can be changed while the housing remains secure.

  • Patent number: 12196011
    Abstract: A lock assembly for preventing theft of an electronic mobile device (EMD) is configured to engage a security cavity formed in the 2 mm thick outer wall of the EMD. The security cavity has left and right outwardly-flaring side walls extending away from the opening. The lock body supports first and second locking elements, each of which is configured to be insertable into the security cavity and has an arcuately-shaped side wall that is complementary in shape to the right/left outwardly flaring side wall of the security cavity. The first and second locking elements cooperate structurally to become wedged inside the security cavity in manner that prevents separation of the lock body from the EMD while the first and second locking elements are positioned inside the security cavity. Preferably, the arcuately-shaped sides of the locking elements extend over an arc angle of 180 degrees. A cable is coupled to the lock body to enable tethering the EMD to an immovable object, to prevent its theft.
