The present invention is a message updating system for an electronic label. The system comprises a message updating device, wherein a controller thereof controls a power-supply transmission unit and a message-update transmission unit to respectively transmit a charging signal and a message-updating to the electronic label for charging the electronic label and updating label information of the electronic label. A detection device picks up the label information to generate label content information, transmits the label content information to the controller to make the controller compare the label content information with update comparison information, and generates an alert message if the label content information is different from the update comparison information. The present can charge the electronic label that is mounted on an article and update label information simultaneously while the article is being transported.

Electronic apparatuses according to embodiments of the present technology may include an enclosure having a lid. The enclosure may define a first cavity and a second cavity, and may include an enclosure battery. The apparatuses may include a first enclosure wireless charging coil extending about the first cavity. The apparatuses may include a second enclosure wireless charging coil extending about the second cavity. The apparatuses may include a first earbud having a first earbud battery and a first earbud wireless charging coil operably coupleable with the first enclosure wireless charging coil for wireless charging of the first earbud battery. The apparatuses may include a second earbud having a second earbud battery and a second earbud wireless charging coil operably coupleable with the second enclosure wireless charging coil for wireless charging of the second earbud battery.

An ECU controls a vehicle including a power reception unit that can wirelessly receive electric power from a power feeding facility placed on a travel road. The ECU includes a memory in which a user-desired condition is stored, the user-desired condition being a condition under which a user of the vehicle desires on-road power reception, the on-road power reception being power reception from the power feeding facility placed on the travel road, and a processor connected to the memory. When a physical condition for power feeding from the power feeding facility to the vehicle is satisfied and when the user-desired condition stored in the memory is not satisfied, the processor controls the power reception unit to suppress on-road power reception.

A portable information handling system glass ceramic housing integrates plural wireless charging coils on one side and plural coil interface traces on an opposing side that interface with conductive material disposed in through glass via openings. Conductive contacts interfaced with the coil interface traces and exposed at the glass ceramic housing interior couple to a printed circuit board assembly through pogo pins that bias against the conductive contacts to communicate power from the wireless charging coils to the charger of the information handling system. The conductive contacts co-locate with a logo etched into the glass ceramic housing to provide an aesthetically pleasing wireless charging solution.
