Abstract: Methods and systems for monitoring and analyzing electrical energy use at a site are disclosed herein. An electricity monitoring device configured to measure real-time electricity characteristics (e.g., instantaneous voltage levels) may be plugged into an outlet of an electrical circuit of a structure. The data obtained by such device may then be analyzed to determine electricity usage levels for the site and/or for individual electrical devices in the structure (e.g., based upon unique electrical signatures indicated by variations in voltage levels). The electricity usage levels may further be used to generate an energy use profile for the structure.

Abstract: A mechanism for connecting a first object, such as a chassis and/or motherboard, to a second object, such as a faceplate and/or daughterboard. A first link may be connected to the first object and a second link may be connected to the second object. The second link may have a slot and the first link may have a pin which is releasably connectable to the slot to form a pivot connecting the first link to the second link. The pin may be releasable from the slot at a first point of travel of the pivot and the pin may not be releasable from the slot at a second point of travel of the pivot. The first link may include a first retaining lobe and the second link may include a second retaining lobe disposed to interlock with the first retaining lobe.
