    Abstract: An example apparatus includes a power monitor, a memory, and a processor. The power monitor is to measure a power level of the apparatus. The memory is to store a power level to temperature increase rate correlation. The processor is in communication with the power monitor and the memory. The processor is to determine that an internal temperature threshold is to be exceeded based on the power level and the power level to temperature increase rate correlation. The processor also is to perform a device operation modification to reduce the power level in response to a determination that the internal temperature threshold is to be exceeded.

    Abstract: In some examples, an electronic device comprises a processor and a power circuit coupled to the processor. The power circuit is to provide power to the processor and to measure a current drawn from the power circuit by the processor. The electronic device also comprises a voltage regulator controller coupled to the processor and the power circuit. The voltage regulator controller is to receive a current usage prediction from the processor, receive the measurement from the power circuit, compare the current usage prediction and the measurement, and, based on the comparison, drive the power circuit in accordance with the measurement instead of the current usage prediction.

    Abstract: Apparatus, systems, articles of manufacture, and methods to provide battery cell rebalancing are disclosed. An example apparatus includes a first battery cell having a first size. The apparatus further includes a second battery cell having a second size different than the first size. The apparatus further includes a first variable resistor couplable to the first battery cell. The apparatus further includes a second variable resistor couplable to the second battery cell. The apparatus further includes a sensor to determine a first internal resistance of the first battery cell, and a second internal resistance of the second battery cell. The apparatus further includes an integrated circuit to adjust a first resistance of the first variable resistor and a second resistance of the second variable resistor based on the first internal resistance and the second internal resistance.

    Abstract: According to examples, an apparatus may include a power converter and a controller. The controller may intercept a power contract negotiation between a first device and a second device, spoof the first device and the second device with respect to each other, and determine a power contract between the first device and the second device. The controller may also supply power to the first device from an external power source through the power converter according to the power contract while enabling pass-through of a communication signal between the first device and the second device through the apparatus.

    Abstract: In one example in accordance with the present disclosure, an electronic device is described. An example electronic device includes a processor, a port to receive a connector of a peripheral device, and a power supply. An example power supply is to supply power to the processor and the peripheral device when connected to the electronic device. The example electronic device also includes an electronic device controller. The electronic device controller is to alter an amount of power from a first value to a second value to supply to the peripheral device based on an amount of power available from the power supply and a lower threshold power level that enables data communication from the peripheral device. The example electronic device also includes a power delivery controller. The power delivery controller is to provide the amount of power having the second value to the peripheral device based on an output from the electronic device controller.
