Claim 20:
21. A mount (10) for securing a device (12) to an article (14), wherein the mount (10) defines a central axis (30), the mount (10) comprising:
a housing (16) having an internal volume (18) configured to selectively receive and retain the device (12) in the housing (16), wherein the internal volume (18) has a maximum internal-volume outer dimension (40), wherein the housing (16) has a housing outermost perimeter (42), and wherein the housing (16) comprises:
a base (46), wherein the base (46) defines a seat (32) within the internal volume (18), wherein the seat (32) comprises a lower seat surface (34) configured to mate with the device (12), wherein the lower seat surface (34) is concave, wherein the seat (32) comprises one or more seat ledges (36) extending around the central axis (30), wherein the one or more seat ledges (36) define an inside ledge diameter (38) that is less than the maximum internal-volume outer dimension (40), wherein the base (46) comprises a base sidewall (58) extending upward from the lower seat surface (34) and circumferentially around the central axis (30), wherein the base sidewall (58) comprises an external thread (60), and wherein the base (46) comprises a circumferential flange (70) extending away from the central axis (30);
a cover (48) removably and threadingly coupled to the base (46) to permit placement and removal of the device (12) in and from the internal volume (18), wherein the cover (48) comprises a skirt (68), wherein the skirt (68) comprises an internal thread (62) configured to mate with the external thread (60) of the base sidewall (58), wherein the cover (46) comprise a ceiling surface (54) that defines an upper side of the internal volume (18), wherein the internal volume (18) is configured so that when the device (12) is operatively received in the internal volume (18) and the cover (48) is operatively coupled to the base (46), there is a gap (56) between the device (12) and the ceiling surface (54) and the device (12) is fixed relative to the housing (16), wherein the cover (48) comprises a rib (64) extending downward from the ceiling surface (54) and circumferentially around the central axis (30), wherein the rib (64) is positioned closer to the central axis (30) than the base sidewall (58) when the cover (48) is operatively coupled to the base (46), wherein when the device (12) is operatively received within the internal volume (18) and the cover (48) is operatively coupled to the base (46), the rib (64) engages the device (12) and compresses the device (12) between the rib (64) and the seat (32), wherein the cover (48) engages the circumferential flange (70) of the base (46) when the cover (48) is operatively coupled to the base (46); and
a gasket (66) positioned between the rib (64) and the skirt (68) and positioned to be compressed between the base sidewall (58) and the cover (48) when the cover (48) is operatively coupled to the base (46);

a coupler (20) attached to the base (46) and configured to be operatively attached to a planar surface of the article (14), wherein the coupler (20) comprises a double-sided foam tape (28), wherein the coupler (20) has a coupler outermost perimeter (44) that is coextensive with the housing outermost perimeter (42); and
wherein the mount (10) is substantially radially symmetrical about the central axis (30).
