Abstract
A novel apparatus is disclosed that provides a secure, tamperproof, and cordless installation to securely and reliably couple any electronic device directly onto any standard power outlet. The installation is easy, certification free, and does not need to reduce the number of available power outlets. The apparatus also enables reliable and effective signal coupling for power line control and communication devices including X.10, HomePlug, and other proprietary power line based physical layers. For these types of systems the apparatus may provide life line support using a battery or any other form of energy storage. The device is optimally installed directly onto a standard wall outlet by replacing the current face plug with a housing that can be affixed directly onto the duplex outlet with screws that attach to any existing threaded hole used by conventional or other mounting devices within a wall box.
