Abstract: A rotatable quick disconnect electrical connector assembly is provided. The assembly includes a male component and a female component, which have a mating fit together and which have an electrical connection when in mating contact. The connection is further enhanced by magnetic attraction, one of either the male or female components having a magnetic material and the other having a magnet-sensitive material. Each of the male and female components has a generally circular cross-section, to permit relative rotation through unlimited degrees in clockwise and counterclockwise directions. The components may be made separately. A system of such connectors is also provided (e.g. for displays).

Abstract: A retractable speaker assembly for a partition, such as a ceiling, having a housing containing a speaker, a cavity, an actuator and a panel. The housing is concealed by the panel when the assembly is in a closed position, and is exposed when the assembly is in an operable position. The actuator moves the assembly between the closed and operable positions. The panel is positioned in such a way that the cavity that contains the assembly is concealed by the panel.
