Disclosed is a shelf light for plant growth having vertical stand with a plurality of wooden partitions vertically arranged in parallel at intervals and wooden vertical rod connected between adjacent wooden partitions, and lighting unit on top of vertical stand. Wooden partition on topmost end vertically is constructed as light holder for arranging lighting unit; power box powering lighting unit is mounted on another wooden partition below light holder; power box is provided with plug connecting wire accessing to electricity, with side wall configured with USB-A, USB-B and USB-C interfaces and top surface configured with wireless charging pad. The utility model, a framework entirely formed by connecting all-wooden materials, has firm structure, with functions of plant growth light, USB power docking station and wireless charging pad, so as to provide green decoration for home environment while compounding use of charging base stations, resulting in strong functionality and high space utilization.

Methods and apparatus to determine user presence are disclosed. A disclosed example monitoring device to determine of a presence of a user in a metering environment includes a mount to couple the monitoring device to a wearable device to be worn by the user, the wearable device to receive content from a content device, a sensor to detect motion of the user, and a transmitter to transmit motion data pertaining to the detected motion of the user for the determination of the presence of the user.

There are provided systems and methods for a physical stand for multiple device orientations and peripheral card reader. A device stand may include a dock that allows for placement and securing of a computing device within the device case, such as through a locking or connecting mechanism. The device dock further includes a peripheral component, such as a physical card reader, that allows for reading and entry of card data into the computing device for use with an electronic transaction processing application on the computing device. This allows the computing device to process transactions electronic with an online service provider. Further, the device stand includes a hinge or joint that allows for rotating and inverting of the computing device over a curved extension from a base of the device stand, which allows the computing device to be viewed in multiple directions and orientations.

A docking station and a control method thereof are provided. The docking station includes a first USB interface, a second USB interface, a video signal output terminal, a microcontroller, a first signal multiplexer, a second signal multiplexer, a video signal processor, and a video signal converter. The microcontroller determines whether the first USB interface or the second USB interface is connected to an electronic device. When the first USB interface is connected to the electronic device, the microcontroller sets the first USB interface as an uplink port. The uplink port receives a signal from the electronic device, and selects and outputs a video signal through the signal. The video signal processor is configured to receive and process the video signal. The video signal converter converts the video signal into a video output signal that is capable of being output to the video signal output terminal for playing.

A key retention device and a portable dock for the key retention device are disclosed. The key retention device includes a key holder and a base. The key holder is rotatably coupled to the base. The base includes pins that extend into a cavity of the key holder when the key holder is in a closed position and do not extend into the cavity when the key holder is in an open position. The base includes a finger that prevents users from inserting an electronic key into the key holder when the key holder is in the closed position. The key retention device can receive the portable dock and lock the key holder in the locked position when a user input is received. The user input can be provided to the key retention device to remove an electronic key from the portable dock or to remove the portable dock altogether.

A battery in a mobile phone cover may be selectively charged according to a user-selectable parameter. When charged, the battery in the mobile phone cover may be used to charge a battery in a mobile phone.

A system can include a tablet computer that includes a tablet display; and a clamshell computer that includes a keyboard housing, a display housing and a hinge assembly that rotatably couples the keyboard housing and the display housing, where the display housing includes a display viewable via a display side, an opposing back side, and a tablet computer recess disposed between the display side and the back side that removably receives the tablet computer.

An assistive system according to an embodiment of the present disclosure includes a cradle module including a holder body on which a user terminal is to be placed and a drive unit configured to drive the holder body, the cradle module configured to output a terminal connection signal when the user terminal is placed on the holder body, and an assistant server configured to receive the terminal connection signal from the cradle module and execute an assistive service, the assistant server configured to control the drive unit by a preset drive pattern through a drive control signal when executing the assistive service. It is possible to easily and conveniently identify a plurality of assistive services outputted according to each situation by controlling a cradle module through a drive pattern corresponding to an assistive service while outputting a voice corresponding to the assistive service when executing the assistive service.

A modular ruggedized protective case for a mobile communications device is disclosed. In embodiments, the protective case includes a flexible (e.g., rubberized) primary housing partially enclosing the mobile device and itself partially surrounded or enclosed by a rigid secondary housing. The secondary housing includes port protectors for concealing or shielding connector ports (e.g., USB, HDMI, AC, other like power/data inputs) of the mobile device. The protective case includes an adapter for a type cover keyboard, e.g., capable of partially covering the display surface of the mobile device when closed and serving as a keyboard or other input device when opened; the type cover adapter attached to a connection port and provides for transmission of control input from the type cover to the mobile device when the mobile device is enclosed in the protective case.
