  • Publication number: 20260079384
    Abstract: A mounting system with flexible arms radiating from a central intersection point, each arm having specified length and diameter dimensions and embedded magnets providing defined holding force. The arms are constructed from materials enabling 180-degree bending while maintaining structural integrity. The system includes an interchangeable polygonal puck having between 3-20 sides, with regular or irregular configurations. The puck incorporates retention grooves, variable facet angles, and locking mechanisms including snap-fit, ball-detent, and bayonet-style options. The flexible arms enable conformity to irregular surfaces while maintaining magnetic alignment when opposing bodies are placed on either side of an object.

  • Patent number: 12276378
    Abstract: The mounting system comprises flexible arms with embedded magnets for secure attachment to various surfaces. Interchangeable pucks allow connection of different devices. The system features a magnetic force multiplication effect when bodies are aligned on opposite sides of an object, enhancing holding power. Constructed from durable materials, the system offers safety, convenience, and versatility across applications. Pucks can incorporate tracking technology for device recovery. The design allows quick adjustments and angle changes, making it suitable for dynamic environments like winter sports, industrial settings, and creative filming.

  • Publication number: 20180320970
    Abstract: A system (2) for extruding and drying an extruded honeycomb body (14) which has channels (18) that extend in a longitudinal direction (L) and which channels (18) are each bounded by first channel walls (20a) that extend in a first direction (A) which is transverse relative to the longitudinal direction (L), and by second channel walls (20b) that extend in a second direction (B) in which is also transverse relative to the longitudinal direction (L) comprises: (i) an extruder (16) having an extrusion head (17) for producing the honeycomb body (14) by extrusion; (ii) a microwave oven (4) comprising an arrangement of a plurality of microwave radiators (6), each microwave radiator being for irradiating the honeycomb body with a directional microwave beam in an irradiation direction (S); and (iii) a feed unit (12) adjoining the extruder (16) for transferring the honeycomb body from the extruder (16) into the microwave oven (4), wherein either: (a) the extrusion head (17) of the extruder is oriented in such a way th
