Abstract: USB hubs and methods of connecting peripheral devices to multi purpose computers wherein the devices or cables thereto are pushed downward into a USB port on the hub resting on a desk or other horizontal surface. Holding the hub with another hand may be unnecessary. Some hubs also have USB ports on a side to which other peripheral devices may be connected while holding the hub with another hand. Some hubs have several USB ports on the side which may be in a horizontal line when viewed in a side view. Some hubs have another port on top for connecting peripheral devices with one hand. Hubs may have a housing with a top, bottom, and at least one straight or curved side and a surface may curve upward from a substantially vertical side. Different embodiments have a power port, indicator lights, feet, or a combination thereof.

Abstract: An electrical device (800, 1100, 1700, 1800) includes: a housing (810, 1110) having a top portion (811, 1111); a bottom portion (816, 1316) opposite the top portion; and a first side portion (917, 1217) between the top portion and the bottom portion; and a first cable management element (850) located at the first side portion, and having a first flexible tube (851) with a first opening (852) along a length of the first flexible tube.

Abstract: Active clamping of an electronic device such as a power strip to the edge of a desk, table, or board featuring at least one force-redirecting mechanism comprising one, two, four, or more moving parts and biasing mechanisms that bias the moving parts into contact with the edge, such that a frictional force increases a clamping force to resist removal of the device from the edge. Different embodiments feature a roller, a ramp, and springs, or cams and springs. In some embodiments, one or two arms project from a housing of the device, which define or form a void configured to engage the edge, and, in certain embodiments, one of the arms has a pivot mount and a release mechanism, or a rotatable knob and clamp. Various embodiments feature a housing containing electronic components such as surge suppression components, power receptacles, a cord, a status indicator, pins, and elastomeric surfaces.
