  • Patent number: 10505392
    Abstract: A mounting assembly for transferring electrical power to an inductively powered device is contemplated, with a plurality of magnets positioned inside the mounting assembly includes for magnetically attracting and retaining the inductively powered device against a face plate, and for axially aligning the inductive power receiver of the inductive powered device with the inductive coil assembly inside the mounting assembly. A mounting support member is attached to the back plate of the mounting housing with adjustable joint for adjusted the orientation of the mounting housing relative to the mounting support member. The magnets retain the inductively powered device against the face plate and in the correct orientation with the inductive coil assembly even against forces which would otherwise disturb the inductive coupling, permitting use of the mounting assembly to transfer power in non-horizontal orientations and in moving vehicles.

  • Patent number: 10483599
    Abstract: A device for charging a mobile device, which is also capable of converting a digital audio signal of a mobile device in to an analog audio signal, includes a first digital interface, a digital to analog converter, and a preamplifier. The first digital interface is configured to provide power to a mobile device connected thereto in order to charge the mobile device, and the digital audio signal from the mobile device is passed to a digital to analog converter. A second digital interface or an analog jack may be incorporated, which is connectable to a headphone or other audio output device.

  • Patent number: 8926372
    Abstract: A multiple plug sliding adapter is disclosed. A first connector with a first terminal block is connected to an upstream cable. The first terminal block is also connected to a downstream first connector plug. A transform adapter is movably coupled to the first connector, and includes a first connector socket receptive to the first connector plug. An extension that spatially offsets the second connector from the transform adapter is connected to the first connector socket, and extends from the transform adapter. A second connector with a second terminal block is connected to the extension and a downstream second connector plug. The first connector plug and the second connector plug conform to different configuration standards.
