    Abstract: A touch controller is disclosed. The touch controller can comprise sense circuitry configured to sense an object at a touch sensor panel, and a touch processor. The touch processor can be capable of, when the object is a first distance from the touch sensor panel, determining a predicted touch location associated with the object on the touch sensor panel based on at least a trajectory of the object towards the touch sensor panel, and when the object is a second distance from the touch sensor panel, less than the first distance, determining an identified touch location associated with the object on the touch sensor panel based on at least the predicted touch location.

    Abstract: Connector adapters that may have a MagSafe connector receptacle and a Universal Serial Bus Type-C connector insert. This may allow MagSafe chargers to be used to charge devices having Universal Serial Bus Type-C connector receptacles. This also may provide the breakaway characteristic of a MagSafe connector system for a device that does not include a MagSafe connector receptacle. Other adapters may have other types of magnetic connector receptacles and connector inserts.

    Abstract: This application relates to a moisture ingress sensor. In particular, this application relates to a moisture ingress sensor that can detect liquid ingress into an electronic device. The moisture ingress sensor can include a resistor, an N-channel MOSFET, an operation amplifier, comparators, and an AND logic gate. The moisture ingress sensor is configured to provide a lower power means for accurately detecting moisture in an electronic device. Multiple areas of the electronic device can include the moisture ingress sensor in order to optimize the detection of moisture for at a variety of regions of the electronic device. Additionally, the electronic device can record signals from the moisture ingress sensor and shut down components of the electronic device that could be affected by the detected moisture. Furthermore, the moisture ingress sensor can be tuned to detect one or more types of liquids.

    Abstract: An electronic device is provided with a display such as a liquid crystal display mounted in an electronic device housing. The display may be provided with a backlight unit. The backlight unit may include radioluminescent backlight structures. The radioluminescent backlight structures include an ionizing radiation source that produces beta particles or other ionizing radiation. The radioluminescent backlight structures also include a phosphor that produces light in response to being struck by the ionizing radiation. The light produced by the phosphor passes through liquid crystal display layers and serves as backlight for the display. Photoluminescent material and light-emitting diodes may also be used to produce backlight for the display. The display backlight may have a light guide plate that is provided with light from the radioluminescent light source or other light source structures.

    Abstract: Power transfer systems including a direct current source and a plurality of outputs operable in several modes. A ground mode may couple an output to circuit ground and a current mode may couple the output to the direct current source. The power transfer system may also include a controller configured to iteratively select a pair of outputs from the plurality of outputs. Once a pair is selected, the controller may set a first output of the pair of outputs to the current mode and the second to ground mode for a determined duration. After the duration has passed, the controller may set the first output to the ground mode and the second output to the current mode for the same duration. Thereafter the controller may select another pair of outputs.
