Wireless power transfer in-band communication circuit and method
In an embodiment, a method for transmitting data from a wireless power receiver to a wireless power transmitter includes: wirelessly receiving power at a first frequency from a transmitter LC tank using a receiver LC tank; rectifying a voltage of the receiver LC tank using a rectifier; and while wirelessly receiving power, controlling a transistor coupled to the receiver LC tank to cause inflections in a transmitter current flowing through the transmitter LC tank to transmit data, detecting time locations of the inflections of the transmitter current within an oscillating cycle of the transmitter current based on a magnitude of the transmitter current, and determining the data based on the detected time locations.
Integrated Power Supply System with Audio and Electronic Communication and Connection Capabilities
An integrated power supply system with audio and electronic communication and connection capabilities for being retained relative to a work surface. The system has a system base, power outlets, electronic data connectivity ports, and speakers. The connectivity ports can comprise USB, USB-C, LAN, HDMI, telephonic, or other ports. A telephone connectivity subsystem enables telephone communication, and a wireless connectivity subsystem enables wireless operation. A central engaging portion of the system base is received into positive engagement in a selective position along a mounting collar and within an aperture in the work surface, and a mounting bracket clamps the work surface between the system base and the mounting bracket. A detachable electronic command console is operative to control electronic operation of the system base and electronics coupled to the system base. The command console is further operative to permit control and operation of the telephone connectivity subsystem.
Deployable chair and desk assembly
A deployable chair and desk assembly allowing for facile repositioning to different locations includes a chair and a desk. A pair of posts is engaged to and extends upwardly from a back of the chair. A canopy engaged to the posts shades the chair. A beam is engaged to and extends between the back of the chair and the desk so that the desk is positioned proximate to a front edge of the chair and provides a work surface for a user seated in the chair. Each of a set of ports is engaged to one of the chair and the desk and can operationally engage an electronic device. A solar panel is engaged to an upper surface of the canopy and is operationally engaged to the ports. The solar panel converts light into an electrical current to power an electronic device engaged to a respective port.
RECONFIGURABLE OFFICE SPACE ORGANIZERS AND WORKSPACE ASSEMBLIES
A workspace assembly includes a plurality of posts. Each post includes (i) a center portion, and (ii) spokes extending radially from the center portion. Each end of connectors connecting adjacent posts engage at least one spoke of a respective post. Panels are disposed between adjacent posts. First and second posts are connected by a first connector and a first panel is disposed between the first and second posts. First and third posts are connected by a second connector and a second panel is disposed between the first and third posts. Second and fourth posts are connected by a third connector and a third panel is disposed between the second and fourth posts. Engagement of the connectors with the respective posts sets respective angles of the connectors and panels relative to one another about the respective posts. A worksurface panel is supported between at least two sets of adjacent posts.
Portable Laptop Table Assembly
A portable laptop table assembly includes a table that has a work surface to support a laptop computer. A power strip is integrated into the table and the power strip has a plurality of output ports for plugging in a power cord from the laptop computer. A pair of stands is each pivotally coupled to the table and each of the stands is positionable in a deployed position to support the table over a support surface. Each of the stands is positionable in a stored position having each of the stands lying against the table. A pair of attachments is each coupled to the table and a strap is attachable to each of the attachments for wearing the strap over a user's shoulder to carry the table.
High-Security Mounting System for Retail Device Display
This document describes a high-security mounting system for retail device display. The mounting system includes a shelf and table system having a variety of security features that help reduce theft of electronic devices presented for retail display. The devices are mechanically fastened to a stand, which is mechanically fastened to a mounting surface of the mounting system using a series of holes defined in the mounting surface. A tray is fastened to an underside of the mounting surface and is usable to house the devices' electrical cords extending through the holes. A rigid placemat is attached to the stand and wraps around an edge of the mounting surface to capture a portion of the underside of the mounting surface to resist a pull force on the stand. Optionally, a riser can be used to adapt a device's configuration of mounting hardware to the holes in the mounting surface.
Wall mounted cellphone holder
A wall mounted cell phone holder including a shelf assembly and a cover assembly configured to be mounted to a wall is disclosed herein. The cover assembly of the body assembly is semi-cylindrical in shape and is used to cover a wall outlet of a wall to hide the mess of wires caused by cell phone chargers. The cover assembly attaches to the shelf assembly and is easily removable through a locking mechanism mounted thereon. Additionally, the shelf assembly is mounted directly onto a wall using threaded fasteners. Furthermore, the shelf assembly is of a suitable size to hold up to three cellphones, thereby providing a user with an organized method of charging phones. The shelf assembly further includes a hole that receives cellphone charging wires therethrough to provide a user with optimal wire management when charging cellphones.
Chase for connecting tables
A furniture system includes a first table having a first tabletop and one or more first legs supporting the first tabletop. The first tabletop includes a first upper surface and a first lower surface opposite the first upper surface. The furniture system also includes a second table having a second tabletop and one or more second legs supporting the second tabletop. The second tabletop includes a second upper surface and a second lower surface opposite the second upper surface. A chase is coupled to the first lower surface and the second lower surface to physically connect the first table to the second table. The chase includes a first channel extending therethrough. The first channel is configured to receive one or more cables.
Table support assembly with electrical/data interface
A table includes a table top with at least three corners. A support assembly includes a plurality of hollow tubes configured to carry electrical/data wires and having end openings. Each tube is connected to the underside of the table top such one end of the tube is arranged at a corresponding corner of the table top so that an end opening is accessible at the corresponding corner. The support assembly further includes a plurality of leg assemblies, each leg assembly including a pair of leg members joined at a curved portion, the curved portion sized and configured a tube with the end opening accessible at the curved portion.
