Patents by Inventor Teal Hand

Teal Hand has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 11342775
    Abstract: Techniques and mechanisms for supplementing power delivery with a battery. In an embodiment, a voltage is provided at a first node with the battery to power a load circuit. A charger is coupled between the first node and a second node, wherein a capacitor is coupled to provide charge to the charger via the second node. In response to detecting a transition of the voltage below a threshold voltage level, controller logic operates switch circuitry of the charger to provide charge from the capacitor. Such operation maintains the voltage in a range of voltage levels which are each above a minimum voltage level required by the load. At least a portion of the range is below the threshold voltage level. In some embodiments, another voltage at the second node provides a basis for generating a control signal to throttle an operation of the load circuit.

  • Patent number: 11262826
    Abstract: In some examples, an apparatus can control power provision to a computing device. A controller is to provide power to the computing device from a first power source at a power level above a sustained power rating of the first power source for a first time period, and is to provide power to the computing device from a second power source at a power level above a sustained power rating of the second power source for a second time period after the first time period.
