摘要： Various embodiments of devices and associated methods are described herein for authenticating electrical devices. In one aspect, an electrical device is provided comprising an interface configured to receive and transmit signals; a power line coupled to the interface and configured to provide a power signal thereto; and an authentication circuit coupled to the interface and the power line. The authentication circuit is configured to disable the power signal on the power line for a specified time period in response to an authentication request signal received at the interface and to provide an authentication response signal on the power line to represent the disabling of the power signal.

摘要： The disclosure is directed at the use of an energy generator system, containing a thermal electric generator (TEG), within a portable device, such as a mobile communication device, to recover waste heat within the device. This waste heat may then be recovered in the form of electricity that can then be use for various applications such as for powering the portable device or recharging a power source.

摘要： Diagnostic use of physical and electrical battery parameters is made to enhance battery authentication and security. A power management module measures an electromagnetic radiation spectrum of a battery module based on signal strengths of the electromagnetic radiation detected at one or more antennas. The measured electromagnetic radiation spectrum of the battery is compared to a reference electromagnetic radiation spectrum, which may be specified for authentic batteries, for example. If the measured electromagnetic radiation spectrum corresponds to the reference electromagnetic radiation spectrum, the battery is authenticated for use with the mobile communication device. A relative condition of the battery, such as an age or state of health, may also be estimated based on the measured electromagnetic radiation spectrum of the battery module.
