Methods and apparatus for security device coupling
First Claim
1. An apparatus for coupling a provided security device to a provided portal cover and communicating between a first side and a second side of the portal cover, wherein the security device includes a first magnet and a second magnet, the apparatus comprising:
- a second device that provides and detects an electric potential;
a first metal fastener having a first end portion and a second end portion; and
a second metal fastener having a third end portion and a fourth end portion;
wherein;
the first end portion and the third end portion are positioned on a first side of the cover;
the second end portion and the fourth end portion are positioned on a second side of the cover;
the first magnet and the second magnet magnetically and electrically couple to the first end portion and the third end portion respectively thereby coupling the security device to the cover;
the second device electrically couples to the second end portion and the fourth end portion;
the second device detects an electric potential provided by the security device to the first magnet and the second magnet; and
the security device detects an electric potential provided by the second device to the second end portion and the fourth end portion.

Abstract
An apparatus, according to various aspects of the present invention, that couples a provided security device to a provided portal cover and communicating between a first side and a second side of the portal cover. The security device includes a first magnet and a second magnet. The apparatus includes a second device, a first metal fastener, and a second metal fastener. The first metal fastener has a first end portion and a second end portion. The second metal fastener has a third end portion and a fourth end portion. The first end portion and the third end portion are positioned on a first side of the cover. The second end portion and the fourth end portion are positioned on a second side of the cover. The first magnet and the second magnet magnetically and electrically couple to the first end portion and the third end portion respectively thereby coupling the security device to the cover. The second device electrically couples to the second end portion and the fourth end portion. The second device detects an electric potential provided by the security device to the first magnet and the second magnet. The security device detects an electric potential provided by the second device to the second end portion and the fourth end portion.
