An active medical device comprises an electrical energy power source powering a medical device. The power source has an open-ended casing that is hermetically sealed with a glass-to-metal seal (GTMS) supported in a lid closing the casing. The medical device has an open-ended housing that houses a PCB assembly which is configured to control functions of the active medical device. A sleeve provides a sleeve lumen, and a flex circuit resides inside the sleeve lumen. The flex circuit inside the sleeve lumen is connected to the power source and to the PCB assembly to power the active medical device, and the sleeve is connected to the medical device housing at the housing open end and to the power source casing adjacent to the lid supporting the GTMS to hermetically seal the active medical device.

A system, recharge apparatus, and method includes transmit coils positioned in a pattern to allow at least one of the transmit coils to establish a wireless link with a receive coil positioned in proximity of the recharge apparatus. A power source is coupled to the transmit coils and configured to selectively energize ones of the transmit coils to transfer power to the receive coil. An energy efficiency detection circuit is configured to detect an electrical response of each one of the transmit coils when energized by the power source, the electrical response indicative of an energy efficiency between the one of the transmit coils and the receive coil. The power source selectively energizes ones of the transmit coils, selected according to a statistical analysis of an historical record and the electrical response indicative of the energy efficiency meeting a minimum efficiency criterion for energy transfer to the receive coil.

A rechargeable battery jump starting device having a highly conductive electrical pathway from a rechargeable battery of the device to a vehicle battery being jump started. The highly conductive pathway can be provided by a highly electrically conductive frame connecting one or more batteries of the rechargeable battery jump starting device to battery clamps of the rechargeable battery jump starting device.

A DC charging module for a charging inlet assembly includes a module housing extending between a front and a rear. The module housing has an inner chamber between the front and the rear. The DC charging module includes a terminal having a mating pin at a front of the terminal and a cable connector at a rear of the terminal. The cable connector is located in the inner chamber of the module housing. The mating pin extends forward of the module housing into the charging inlet assembly for mating with a charging connector coupled to the charging inlet assembly. The DC charging module includes a power cable extending into the inner chamber of the module housing to electrically connect to the cable connector of the terminal. The DC charging module includes a heat exchanger received in the inner chamber of the module housing. The heat exchanger is thermally coupled to the cable connector of the terminal. The heat exchanger includes a coolant channel for coolant flow through the heat exchanger for actively cooling the terminal.

The disclosure relates to a power supply unit mountable on or in a building (e.g., a wall box), which provides a power supply for the building and for alternating current charging of an electric vehicle (BEV, PHEV) as well as makes possible a communication via a satellite link, and a method of operating the power supply unit.

A ring includes a controller. The ring can also include a power source configured to power the controller. The ring further can include a charging unit. The charging unit can be configured to convert a first form of energy into a second form of energy. The charging unit also can be coupled to the power source to provide the second form of energy to the power source. The controller can execute instructions to control operation of a user interface. Other embodiments are disclosed.

A supply charging device includes a supply power connector having a supply housing coupled to a panel having a guide member configured to engage a guide feature of a receive power connector to guide mating. The supply power connector includes a door closing a supply contact chamber holding supply power contacts. The supply charging device includes a float element engaging the panel to allow floating of the supply power connector relative to the panel for aligning the mating end of the supply power connector with the receive power connector. A sealing boot is coupled to the housing and the panel to provide an environmental seal between the supply power connector and the panel. The sealing boot is flexible to maintain sealing as the supply power connector floats relative to the panel.

Embodiments relate to a robotic system having a plurality of sensors attached to a robot. The system includes an identifier attached to a receiver hitch of a cart. The identifier includes information related to a cart with which the identifier is attached. At least one sensor of the plurality of sensors is configured to detect the identifier and transmit sensor data to a computing unit of the robot. The computing unit of the robot operates the robot and/or the plurality of sensors based on the cart information. Some embodiments include a facility sensor attached to a facility. The facility sensor is configured to detect presence or absence of a cart.

Systems, methods, and articles for a portable power case are disclosed. The portable power case is comprised of at least one battery and at least one PCB. The portable power case has at least one USB port and at least two access ports, at least two leads, or at least one access port and at least one lead. The portable power case is operable to supply power to an amplifier, a radio, a wearable battery, a mobile phone, and a tablet. The portable power case is operable to be charged using solar panels, vehicle batteries, AC adapters, non-rechargeable batteries, and generators. The portable power case provides for modularity that allows the user to disassemble and selectively remove the batteries installed within the portable power case housing.

A method for predicting risk exposure can include receiving data from a sensor. The method for predicting risk exposure also can include analyzing the data via a machine learning (ML) model. The analyzing can include determining that the data represents a light exposure pattern correlated with a risk pattern. The ML model can be trained with training data indicative of the light exposure pattern and indicative of the risk pattern to identify a correlation between the light exposure pattern and the risk pattern. The method for predicting risk exposure further can include predicting a risk exposure for a user based on the analyzing the data. The method for predicting risk exposure further can include providing a notice indicating the risk exposure, as predicted. Other embodiments are disclosed herein.
