  • Publication number: 20240154435
    Abstract: An indexed sequence of bits in a buffer is allocated for tracking a battery charging state. The indexed sequence of bits has a first number of bits. A battery voltage of a rechargeable battery is sampled at a sampling rate. For each sampled battery voltage, the battery voltage is compared with a voltage threshold. A next bit position in the indexed sequence of bits is identified. In accordance with a determination that a comparison result is true, a predefined first value is added to the next bit position. A second number of bits that are filled with the predefined first value is determined. A ratio between the second number and the first number is also determined. In accordance with a determination that the ratio exceeds a threshold step-down ratio, a battery charge voltage is stepped down. The rechargeable battery is charged to a step-down voltage.

  • Publication number: 20240142722
    Abstract: A passive optical alignment coupling between two bodies each having a complementary interstitial two-dimensional planar array of protrusions defining an array of interstices. Each array of protrusions defines an array of discrete protrusions separated and isolated from one another on the surface of the corresponding bodies. When the bodies are pressed together, the array of protrusions defined on one body intermesh with protrusions defined on the other body with protrusions of one body received in corresponding interstices defined on the other body. The protrusion surfaces of each adjacent pair of protrusions are in point contact. The first body is removably attachable to the second body to define a demountable coupling, with the first array of alignment features against the second array of alignment features to define an elastic averaging coupling, thereby passively aligning the first body to the second body.
