  • Patent number: 12462660
    Abstract: Disclosures relate to a sensor system and arrangements having different sized removable spacers. The spacers may be mixed and matched as needed or desired to compensate for misalignment conditions. Further, different spacer combinations and adjustments may be guided by a security management computing device. Variations in configurations of mounting surfaces, such as door and window assemblies, may be accommodated. Alignment of a transmitter or a receiving device, e.g., a magnetic device, with respect to a transmitter or receiving device despite misalignment of the components due to, for example, uneven surfaces of a door or a window, or a respective frame may be achieved.

  • Patent number: 12185429
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and devices relating to a wireless network device configured for adjustable positioning are described herein. In an example, a network device comprises a body and a bendable element configured to carry electrical power to the body and components therein. The body houses an antenna and transceiver configured for wireless communication. The bendable element, attached to the body of the network device, is configured for adjustable positioning such that a position of the bendable element is substantially maintained when the positioning force is removed. A facing of the antenna within the body may be based on the positioning of the bendable element.
