Abstract: A modular ceiling system has uniformly appearing devices supported by a channel or a ceiling in an aesthetically pleasing pattern with a single network and control system. The channel or ceiling has uniform sized and shaped openings into which a plurality of uniformly sized and shaped devices is fitted. The devices share a common communication protocol and power source. Each of the devices is connected to a central control system having the same communication protocol as the devices. A network connects the central control system and all of the devices together allowing communications between the central control system and the devices and among the devices using the common communication protocol.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an automated jacking system for lifting an automobile comprising: a plurality of mounted jacks, wherein each mounted jack includes an I-shaped assembly; a control means; and an activation means. Each mounted jack is firmly attached to each end of each axle of the automobile. The control means may include either a control panel within the interior of the automobile or a remote handheld control device. The activation means includes a motor on each mounted jack, wherein each mounted jack includes a base, a mounting bracket and a cylindrical body. The cylindrical body connects the mounting bracket to the base. A plurality of bolts firmly attaches each mounted jack to the respective axle. The mounted jacks according to the present invention may use either pneumatic or hydraulic means of power within the cylindrical body.
