This disclosure generally relates to a battery kiosk that houses and distributes rechargeable batteries for light electric vehicles. The battery kiosk includes various visual indicators that are activated based on the individual's progress with a rechargeable battery exchange process.

A contactless card with power harvesting unit is described. The power harvesting unit is configured to harvest power from near field communication radio wave fields and supply power to a memory, processor, and communication circuit of the contactless card. In some embodiments, the contactless card may also include a capacitor for smoothing out power deliver or a rechargeable battery. The contactless card is configured to establish two-way communication with a secondary device and to store and execute applets. In some embodiments, the contactless card is a payment card which contains information associated with a primary profile and a secondary profile. The secondary profile may be activated using two-way communication if the primary profile is deactivated due to fraudulent activity.

A charger system comprising a charging station including a plurality of nests for chargers is described. Each of the plurality of nests is designed to partially eject the charger when instructed to do so, and further comprises a nest lock to lock in the charger into the nest when not ejecting. The charger system interacting with a user account, enabling a user to request the charger, wherein the charger is ejected from the nest for a valid request.

A system and method for a context-aware digital assets distribution platform. The platform comprises means for distributing or broadcasting digital assets to mobile devices in conjunction with an object providing dynamic sources of context information. The digital assets distribution platform incorporates one or more component architecture, a mobile device application having one or modules for dynamic context sensing, context recognition, context and information communication-transmission, and digital assets content sharing via a mobile computing network. The platform enables the distribution or broadcast of personalized information or services to mobile device users.

Various embodiments of kiosks for purchasing mobile phones and other mobile electronic devices from users are disclosed herein. In some embodiments, the kiosks include an apparatus to position an electrical connector for connection to a mobile device. This apparatus enables the kiosk to connect to the mobile device to electrically inspect the mobile device, and the associated electrical connectors and cables are not subjected to repeated pulling and other rough handling that can lead to premature wear and tear. Accordingly, use of connector carriers configured in accordance with the present technology can lead to longer connector/cable service life, reduced maintenance, and greater kiosk up-time. In some embodiments, the apparatus can include a camshaft having one or more cam lobes positioned to act against one or more cam followers, e.g., carrying one or more electrical connectors.

A shared equipment leasing device, a method and a system therefor are provided, which are applied to a field of electronic technology, including a cabinet body and a power management module, the cabinet body being provided with a main chip, an electromagnetic lock, an equipment slot, a buckle and a spring. The main chip is electrically connected to the power management module and the electromagnetic lock. The buckle and the spring are arranged in the equipment slot, and the electromagnetic lock is connected to the buckle. The main chip is configured to control the electromagnetic lock to open or lock the buckle. The spring is configured to eject the shared equipment inserted in the equipment slot after the main chip controls the electromagnetic lock to open the buckle. The device, the method and the system can improve the convenience and usability for ejecting and inserting of the shared equipment.

An electrical distribution center includes a plurality of electrical receptacles or ports which are activated when currency is deposited into a currency receiving mechanism that is coupled to a timer switch. Electricity is provided to the receptacles for a pre-paid period of time. Thereafter, the timer switch opens to prohibit further flow of electricity to the receptacles until additional currency is deposited or credited to the electrical distribution center. The electrical distribution center may be connected to an electrical grid or include an electricity generating source such as a solar panel and associated control circuitry.
