An HMD includes first and second batteries mounted therein, and includes a plurality of power receivers that receive power from the first and second batteries by wireless transmission, a power supply manager that monitors states of the first and second batteries, a communication interface that performs wireless communication with the first and second batteries, and a plurality of limiters that limit the power received by the plurality of power receivers. A controller causes the limiters to limit power, which is supplied to a load, according to a power use state of the load in the device, and the power supply manager acquires information of remaining power storage amounts of the first and second batteries through the communication interface and displays the acquired information on a display. Therefore, since it is possible to supply power required for driving the device while wearing the HMD, the HMD can be continuously used.

A receiver for a wireless charging system, capable of receiving power energy using non-contact type magnetic induction, includes a coil capable of receiving the power energy and a part for generating a predetermined output power from the power energy received by the coil, a portable terminal, an NFC coil further provided outside of the coil, and a ferrite sheet further provided at the coil and the NFC coil.

A charging surface comprising multiple conductive regions can be used to charge an electronic device placed on it the surface so that electrodes on the device engage respective conductive regions of the surface. In order to distinguish such chargeable devices from short circuits and other spurious connections, the coupling interface associated with the charging surface is controlled so as to establish a text voltage across each pair of conductive regions in sequence, and look for pairs of conductive region demonstrating a voltage drop characteristic of a particular class of device. Relationships between every pair of conductive regions can be determined and recording, and the voltage level supplied to each conductive region set accordingly. The coupling interface may furthermore operate to identify device classes, and to set supply voltages or establish additional connections on the basis of stored device class information. Discrimination on the basis of voltage drop can be enhanced by the provision of a coupling adapted associated with a device to be detected, where the coupling adapter demonstrates an anti-inversion characteristic, for example implemented with a MOSFET, across at least a pair of these electrodes.

An open concept computer cart has a frame, a lower computer storage shelf supported by the frame, an upper computer storage shelf supported by the frame, and a forward-facing brick storage area formed vertically intermediate the upper and lower computer storage shelves. The upper and lower computer storage shelves are rearwardly inclined to prevent computers stored thereon from sliding off of the shelves. A single wiring retention strip is formed along a front surface of the open concept computer cart, and a power outlet strip is formed along a rear of the brick storage area. The wiring retention strip has wire retention cutouts formed along its length to retain charging tethers for computers stored on both the upper and lower computer storage shelves.

An arrangement for powering a mobile device with a fast charge discharge power source such as a supercapacitor without reliance on resistors to protect device electronics from comparatively high supercapacitor current discharge rates. The arrangement protects device electronics by coordinating a switch with a charge controller to balance recharge of a battery electronically coupled to the supercapacitor. The arrangement and techniques utilized result in a substantially continuous trickle charging of the battery from the supercapacitor. In this way, the battery is continuously charged so long as the supercapacitor holds power and the battery remains the safe medium through which device electronics are powered.
