    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to methods for monitoring the health of a battery cell. Specifically, the method includes receiving, by a controller communicatively coupled a pressure sensor positioned proximate to a battery housing having an initial volume and an initial shape and containing a battery cell, a pressure value indicative of a current volume or a current shape of the battery' housing. The pressure sensor is configured to measure the pressure value indicative of the current volume or the current shape of the battery' housing. The method also involves comparing, by the controller, the pressure value to a predetermined threshold pressure value. The method further involves adjusting, by the controller and based on the comparison, at least one parameter associated with operations of the battery cell.

    Abstract: An example method includes receiving, by a communication controller of a source device and from an audio source of the source device, audio data to be wirelessly transmitted to a sink device, wherein the audio data is received from the audio source at a rate; storing, by the communication controller and in a buffer, the audio data as a sequence of audio blocks, wherein each audio block includes audio data for a respective output time; transmitting, by the source device and to the sink device, audio blocks of the sequence of audio blocks using a wireless link between the source device and the sink device; determining a current condition of the wireless link; and automatically adjusting, by the communication controller and based on the current condition of the wireless link, the rate at which audio data is received from the audio source.

    Abstract: A smartwatch is configured to be usable to control a peripheral device. The smartwatch can be toggled between a typical or usual operating mode for a smartwatch and a mode for controlling the peripheral device. The toggling function is bound to a virtual button. Force applied to the virtual button is measured so that multiple functions, including the toggling function, can be accessed by applying different amounts of force to the button for a predetermined amount of time.

    Abstract: Methods and apparatus are described for self-alignment for wireless charging. In some implementations a method includes detecting a device to be charged by a wireless charger. The wireless charger includes a housing and a wireless power transmission coil that is movable within the housing. The method includes determining, by the wireless charger, a direction to move the wireless power transmission coil within the housing to improve alignment of the wireless power transmission coil with a wireless power receiving coil of the device to be charged. The method includes moving, by the wireless charger, the wireless power transmission coil within the housing in the determined direction to align the wireless power transmission coil improve alignment of the wireless power transmission coil with the wireless power receiving coil of the device to be charged.
