Abstract:
Techniques associated with a combination speaker and light source ("speaker-light device") responsive to states of an organism based on sensor data are described, including generating chemical sensor data in response to one or more chemicals sensed by one or more chemical sensors in the same or different speaker-light devices. A scent generator may be activated to counter an odor caused by a chemical detected by the chemical sensor(s). The speaker-light device may activate an air mover operative to circulate ambient air over the chemical sensor. The speaker-light device may take an appropriate action in response to detected chemicals that affect states of the organism. Some or all of the actions taken may be taken by other devices in communication with the speaker-light device(s). An action may include generating and presenting a path or route to be taken by a user to an area of safety or reduced chemical concentration.

Abstract:
Various embodiments feature charging systems to engage rechargeable devices securely and to charge the rechargeable batteries included in these rechargeable devices effectively. In some embodiments, a charging system may include a charging device shaped to couple securely to a separate rechargeable device housing a rechargeable battery (sometimes referred to herein as a "rechargeable device"). In such embodiments, the charging device may include a top surface having a concave shape suitable for engaging with a corresponding convex surface of the rechargeable device. The charging device may also include a charging connector positioned at or near a point of inflection of the top surface. The rechargeable device may include a charging connector positioned on the convex surface. When the charging connector of the rechargeable device is coupled to the charging connector of the charging device, the convex surface of the rechargeable device may engage the concave top surface of the charging device.
