Abstract:
A device, battery and system to reduce battery leakage is provided. The system includes a battery, a battery-powered device, and an interface therebetween comprising cell contacts and a data interface. The battery comprises: a cell; a low-power protection circuit; and a high-power protection circuit configured to receive an indication via the data interface that disables the high-power protection circuit, leaving the low-power protection circuit enabled. The battery-powered device comprises: a high-power subsystem used when the battery-powered device is in an operating state; a switch between the cell contacts and the high-power subsystem; and one or more sensing circuits configured to, in response to determining one or more of a power-off state and a low-battery state: open the switch to the high-power subsystem; and transmit, to the battery, via the data interface, the indication.
Abstract:
A recognition device (100) and method (200) for recognizing a target (302). The recognition device (100) includes a sensor (112) and an electronic processor (102). The electronic processor (102) configured to receive the characteristic from the sensor (112). The electronic processor (102) identifies a profile based on the characteristic and compares the profile to a plurality of predetermined profiles (103) to determine an identity profile. The electronic processor (102) identifies the target (302) based on the identity profile and determines, based on at least one selected from the group consisting of a location of the target (302), speed of the target (302), and a direction of movement of the target (302), a virtual geographic boundary (300). The electronic processor (102) causes a transmission of the at least one selected from the group consisting of the identity profile and the characteristic to at least one associated device located in the virtual geographic boundary (300).
Abstract:
A method of controlling an electronic device having a battery and a speaker is disclosed. The method includes receiving an audio data signal, monitoring a battery-related parameter of the battery, determining whether the monitored battery-related parameter traverses a threshold, and bit-shifting the audio data signal based on the monitored battery- related parameter traversing the threshold. Also disclosed is an attenuator circuit for an electronic device having a battery.
