System for use in combination with a remote node powered by a first number of lines, each line thereof being capable of providing power to the remote node in an active state of the line and not being capable of providing power to the remote node in a non-active state of the line; said system comprising: a second number of convertors; and a power control part configured for controlling the power provided by each line of said first number of lines to a converter of said second number of converters, in function of the time, depending of the states of the first number of lines.

Disclosed herein is a metal frame for a device being equipped with a wireless charging transmitter or receiver including a plurality of perforation holes configured in at least one partial area of the metal frame, wherein the perforation hole has a diameter ranging from sub nm to several μm, and wherein an average distance between an arbitrary point A on a circumferential surface of a perforation hole, among the plurality of perforation holes, and an arbitrary point B on a circumferential surface of another perforation hole being adjacent to the perforation hole is equal to or less than a skin depth corresponding to a metallic material of the metal frame, and wherein point A and point B respectively correspond to points indicating a longest distance between the circumferential surfaces of each perforation hole to which point A and point B belong.

Accordingly, the metal frame is expected to perform wireless charging by including at least a wireless charging receiver, i.e., enabling wireless charging to be carried out smoothly despite equipping a mobile device with a metal frame for its outer feature instead of a plastic frame, wherein the metal frame provides an excellent texture of premium quality and outstanding durability as compared to the plastic frame.

A system for powering a network element of a fiber optic wide area network is disclosed. When communication data is transferred between a central office (CO) and a subscriber terminal using a network element to convert optical to electrical (O-E) and electrical to optical (E-O) signals between a fiber from the central office and twisted wire pair, coaxial cable or Ethernet cable transmission lines from the subscriber terminal, techniques related to local powering of a network element or drop site by the subscriber terminal or subscriber premise remote powering device are provided. Certain advantages and/or benefits are achieved using the present invention, such as freedom from any requirement for additional meter installations or meter connection charges and does not require a separate power network.
