A power delivery system for a computing device includes a power connector, a power delivery switch, a charging circuit, and a hardware controller. The power connector is configured to selectively electrically connect with a power supply unit. The power delivery switch is electrically intermediate the power connector and the charging circuit. The hardware controller is configured to limit a charging current at the charging circuit to a sub-threshold level for a current-limiting duration based at least on initiation of a transition of the power delivery switch from an OFF state to an ON state that lasts for a switching duration that is less than the current-limiting duration. The charging circuit is configured to modulate the charging current to a regulated charging current and deliver the regulated charging current to a system load of the computing device after the current-limiting duration has elapsed.

A radio frequency (RF) front end device has a signal traveling from a first antenna to a second antenna in an uplink path and a signal traveling from a third antenna to a fourth antenna in a downlink path. The device is under the control of automatic on/off controller (AOOC) which upon receiving a signal indication from a receive signal detector and amplifier (RSDA) turns on the operations of power amplifier (PA) and simultaneously turns off a low noise amplifier (LNA). This LNA is turned off when the power amplifier is turned on to prevent uplink path and downlink path forming a feedback loop which would result in oscillation, noise and interference.

A system and method for charging battery packs is provided. The system may include a charging pad comprising a power supply, a charging pad surface, and a microcontroller unit.

The apparatus further comprises an external device in wireless communication with the communication device. The external device is operable to receive information from the communication device and the external device is operable to provide an output viewable to the user.

A wearable device including an antenna structure, a chip having a receiver which is electrically coupled to the antenna structure and is configured to receive radio signals by means of the antenna structure, and a trigger device which is arranged in or on the wearable device, which device comprises electrically conductive material and which is configured to trigger foreign object detection in a wireless energy charger in accordance with a wireless charging standard for wirelessly charging an electronic device by means of taking up load from radio waves emitted by the wireless energy charger.

A flexible wireless charging mouse pad includes an anti-slip cushion layer, a double-sided adhesive layer, and a coil. The anti-slip cushion layer has a topside with a single-ring groove, and the single-ring groove has an inner bottom groove wall. The double-sided adhesive layer is adhered to the topside. The coil has multiple surrounding rings arranged side by side with one another to form a coil module, and the coil module of the coil inside the single-ring groove is stacked and connected between the double-sided adhesive layer and the inner bottom groove wall and adhered by the double-sided adhesive layer, so as to achieve a wireless charging effect by the mouse pad in the condition of having only one single-ring groove on the flexible board layer, further to achieve the effects of reducing manufacturing difficulty, lowering manufacturing cost, and improving market competitiveness.

A battery charging system suitable for charging mobile devices is presented. The system includes a plurality of charging stations. The system also includes a charging station location identification system coupled with the plurality of charging stations. Further, the system includes a communications platform configured to provide a communication means for the plurality of charging stations. Additionally, the system includes a wayfinding system configured to provide prioritization information for potential users of the battery charging system and arranged to couple with the charging station location identification system and the plurality of charging stations. The system includes an alerting system configured to provide system status of a mobile device and arranged to interact with the wayfinding system. The system also includes a merchandising module configured to provide economic data and purchasing functions for the potential users of the battery charging system.

A power supply conversion structure and an electronic device including the same are provided. By providing a voltage regulating module connected to a switched capacitor converter, the voltage regulating module receives a first voltage of the switched capacitor converter and converts the first voltage into a second voltage, and the second voltage is higher than a voltage of a current battery, so that in the use process of the electronic device, if a voltage output to a load of the electronic device is reduced below a threshold voltage, the voltage output to the load of the electronic device is boosted to be higher than the voltage of the current battery, thus avoiding bad customer experience such as black screen and even shutdown of the electronic device. As the switched capacitor converter and the voltage regulating module operate cooperatively, the number of switches can be reduced.

A dock for portable electronic devices (PEDs) such as portable computers, smartphones, and the like has a dock cavity wherein a PED may be inserted. The cavity wall bears an external connector aligned to connect with a PED's onboard connector for charging and/or data communications when the PED is properly inserted in the cavity. However, the external connector retracts within the cavity wall if the PED is misinserted such that it bears against the external connector. The cavity walls are designed to loosely receive (and coarsely align) the PED upon initial insertion, and then closely receive (and finely align) the PED's onboard connector with the dock's external connector as the PED approaches full insertion. The rear cavity wall, against which the leading edge of the PED bears upon full insertion, is configured to resiliently yield upon impact with the PED, thereby decreasing repeated shock damage to the dock and PED.
