Abstract: An apparatus including a first electrical connector; and a second electrical connector. The first and second electrical connectors have magnets to provide a magnetic holding force with each other and provide alignment of the electrical connectors to hold the second electrical connector against the first electrical connector at a predetermined position. Magnetic poles of the magnets are configured to limit orientation of the second electrical connector on the first electrical connector. The second electrical connector includes two power contacts and an interruption detector contact, where the power contacts are movably mounted on the second housing and configured to disconnect from electrical contacts of the first electrical connector, when the second electrical connector is being disconnected from the first electrical connector, only after the interruption detector contact of the second plurality of electrical contacts disconnects from an electrical contact of the first electrical connector.

Abstract: Methods and an apparatus to connect a peripheral device to a wireless network access point are provided herein. A host device associated with a wireless network access point stores and obtains a set of wireless credentials related to a wireless network formed by the wireless network access point. The host device opens a connection between the host device and the peripheral device to transmit the set of wireless credentials from the host device to the peripheral device. The host device identifies the peripheral device over the wireless network access point.

Abstract: The invention relates to a compact storage system and a corresponding method for storing frozen specimens. The compact storage system comprises one storage area, a housing with thermal insulation and at least one refrigeration unit, with which at least the storage area is coolable down to a temperature of at least ?15° C. The compact storage system also comprises storage shelves arranged completely within the refrigerated storage area and a transfer area arranged above this storage area. An essentially horizontally moving robot is arranged within the transfer area. The compact storage system is characterised in that it comprises at least one essentially vertical paternoster device, with a plurality of essentially horizontally oriented storage shelves circulating on an essentially oval path. The robot working in conjunction with the paternoster device is accomplished for removing or depositing a storage shelf and/or objects from/onto a storage shelf respectively.
