Publication number: 20190073881Abstract: An anti-theft device for monitoring Type C USB connector. An alarm module has a first terminal and a second terminal. A male plug has a first conductive member in electrical communication with the first terminal and a second conductive member in electrical communication with the second terminal. When the male plug is positioned within the receptacle, a closed electric circuit forms between the first and second conductive members. The alarm module supplies an electric current to the first terminal and monitors the electric current flowing to the second terminal. Responsive to detecting an interruption in the electric current flowing between the first and the second terminals, the alarm module transmits an alarm signal.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 5, 2018Publication date: March 7, 2019Inventors: Christopher A. Kelsch, Chung-Ping Lee, John N. Figh, JR., Lucas P. Swartwood, Bruno M. L. Telles, Ryan G. Bernosky

Patent number: 10074250Abstract: An anti-theft device for monitoring connection between a male plug and a female receptacle. The male plug has a sheath enclosing a plurality of conductive pins. The sheath contains a tongue having a first retracted configuration when the male plug is outside the female receptacle and a second displaced configuration when the male plug is inserted in the female receptacle. In the second displaced configuration, the tongue engages at two conductive pins, thereby creating a closed electric circuit. An alarm module monitors the electric current flow within the electric circuit, and responsive to detecting an interruption in the electric current flow, the alarm module transmits an alarm signal.Type: GrantFiled: September 16, 2016Date of Patent: September 11, 2018Assignee: Vanguard Products Group, Inc.Inventors: Christopher A.

Patent number: 8696377Abstract: A communication connector with analog coupling circuit and a mechanical coupling circuit used for providing security to electronic devices. The analog circuit includes a male plug with an outer shell and tongue shell. Between the outer shell and tongue is a thin layer of non-conductive material to prevent the closure of a circuit. Two separate conductors are wired through the USB body; one attaching to the outer shell and the other attaching to the tongue. A closed circuit is created when the male USB is placed into a female receptor. The mechanical circuit creates a closed circuit when the plunger switch becomes compressed. There is a security monitor system connected to an end of the two conductors, which sound an alarm when circuit is opened. The alarm will sound if a thief attempts to steal the article either by cutting the wire or removal of the plug.Type: GrantFiled: June 25, 2013Date of Patent: April 15, 2014Assignee: Vanguard Products Group, Inc.Inventors: Christopher A.

Publication number: 20120327748Abstract: The present invention discloses a smart waking device and a smart waking method thereof. The smart waking device comprises: a detection unit, a setting unit, a waking unit and a processing module. The detection unit detects user's motion. The setting unit sets a first predetermined time. The waking unit issues a waking message. The processing module is electrically connected with the detection unit, the setting unit and the wakening unit. Based upon the first predetermined time, the processing module takes a time interval starting from the first predetermined time. While the detection unit detects the user's motion during the time interval, the processing module controls the waking unit to issue the waking message.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 7, 2011Publication date: December 27, 2012Inventor: Chung-Ping Lee
