摘要:
A power adapter for extending power from an electrical power source to a electrical device. The power adapter includes an adapter body, including an exchange surface, having one or more sets of interior electrical contacts. The power adapter further includes an end section that is attachable and detachable from the body. The end section includes (i) a set of end section interior electrical contact elements that make contact with the at least one set of interior electrical contacts, and (ii) a plug connector, electrically connected to the set of end section interior electrical contacts, and adapted to mate with a corresponding electrical receptacle.

A display device is associated with a user account. A service is able send a message to a display device using a predefined set of parameters, The set of parameters include a display identifier, a message type, and a message content that is of the message type. The message content can be specific to the display device of the user account. The service receives a communication that is in response to the message communicated from the service.

An input feature is provided for a computing device. The input feature is multi-dimensional in ability to detect position information, applied pressure and/biometric characteristics about the user or finger. The input feature may also include a haptic feedback mechanism.
摘要:
An inductive signal interface comprises a coil assembly including one or more inductive coils, a bridge circuit including a plurality of switches, and control circuitry. The control circuitry is configured to individually operate the plurality of switches to enable the inductive signal interface to dynamically switch between a power-transmit mode and a power receive mode.
