A sensor for objects passing through the gap. Probably optical or IR sensor.

This. Definitely optical. Probably IR.

<edit>
Just realized I jumped the gun assuming pliskin's response was Kiwi's confirmation of my guess. Sorry about that!

Carry on Adidas!

I can guess the Oreo, in terms of the other widget - some sort of key for releasing / diassembling a piece of equipment?

(It looks sort of similar to a high voltage switch interlock key I have which allows you to open the equipment cabinet without tripping the switch open)

adidasguy · April 11, 2013, 03:06:32 PM

1. Not a real Oreo. better tasting knock-off but from/by whom?
2. Close.

yamahonkawazuki · April 11, 2013, 03:28:02 PM

Used to release a stereo from a car mounting? now the cookie,
is it a joe joe's? ( from trader joes)

adidasguy · April 11, 2013, 04:14:18 PM

Cookie: Trader Joes.

Thingy: still wrong.

oldmech · April 11, 2013, 04:43:57 PM

is the key thing for unlocking racks for main frames for server systems..hell i am reaching far here.

adidasguy · April 11, 2013, 05:34:23 PM

Nope.Something most of you probably had, never thought about it and tossed it out with the instructions and plastic bags which all were of little use.

yamahonkawazuki · April 11, 2013, 05:57:06 PM

is tool used by a moto owner?

adidasguy · April 11, 2013, 06:03:19 PM

Kiwi's first guess was on the right track.

yamahonkawazuki · April 11, 2013, 06:08:51 PM

used to open a server case ( or pc case? to pop a lock/tab?

pliskin · April 11, 2013, 06:18:53 PM

It's a key to open the interior doors of your house. Push it in those little holes in the doorknob.

Or

To open a CD/DVD door without power.

adidasguy · April 11, 2013, 06:29:33 PM

CD/DVD drive thingy. Probably could work on a bathroom door.
