Abstract: A wireless charger has two opposing surfaces including a top face and a bottom face. At least one coil within an interior of the wireless charger is couple able to a source of electric power and is configured to wirelessly charge a first battery powered wireless-charging-compatible electronic device adjacent to the top face and a second battery powered wireless-charging-compatible electronic device adjacent to the bottom face, without a wired connection between the battery powered electronic devices and the wireless charger. The wireless charger can in an alternative embodiment include two coils with an interior thereof, one for charging adjacent to the top face and one for charging adjacent to the bottom face. A cord delivers power to the coils, through appropriate intervening electronics.

Abstract: An outer base of annular form surrounds an open space. The base includes a magnet for attachment of the outer base to a rear of a smartphone. A center ring surrounds the open space. This ring has a bearing on an outside edge which rotates relative to a race on an inner edge of the base, allowing the center ring to rotate relative to the base. A pair of ears extend radially inwardly into this open space, with the ears attached either to the ring or base. The ears are sized and spaced apart an appropriate distance to allow one ear to lift a crimped edge of a bottle cap while the other ear rests upon a top of the bottle cap. A loop is pivotably attached to the center ring and provides a stand or a finger loop or allows a smartphone to be suspended from a hook.

Abstract: A wireless streaming receiver or other signal input source is coupled to an HDMI slot on a television through a combination cord which includes male and female HDMI connectors at opposite ends of a hybrid cable segment. An HDMI conductor bundle extends along this hybrid cable segment between these HDMI connectors, to couple the wireless streaming receiver to the HDMI slot on the television. The combination cord also includes first and second USB cable segments extending from near each of the HDMI connectors. These USB cable segments extend to either a USB slot on the television to receive power therein or to a USB connector for attachment to a power port of the wireless streaming receiver. The USB conductor bundle extends along the USB cable segments and the hybrid cable segment to provide power from the USB slot on the television to the power port on the wireless streaming receiver.

Abstract: The charger includes a housing with a base wall opposite a face wall. A male electric power plug has prongs which extend from the face wall to connect to an AC power output receptacle. Intermediate walls extend from the base wall to the face wall including a top wall, a bottom wall and a pair of side walls. Lateral edges are located between the intermediate walls. A USB port, a cord, or other power outlet is located along at least one of these lateral edges, and in some embodiments multiple outlets extend from multiple edges. The charger can thus be utilized in one AC power output receptacle within an array of AC power output receptacles without blocking adjacent AC power output receptacles, and provide one or more sources of DC power to power and/or recharge portable electronic devices.

Abstract: The smartphone case has a compartment for a smartphone and also includes a hook which can be moved between a collapsed orientation adjacent to a rear surface of the smartphone case and a deployed orientation. In the deployed orientation, the hook can be placed over a wall or other elevated structure and the smartphone within the case can be suspended below. Alternatively, the smartphone can rest up from an edge thereof placed upon an underlying surface, and the hook positioned to also rest upon the underlying surface. The hook can both pivot and swivel in preferred embodiments, so that it can be positioned optimally to support the smartphone in a desired orientation. An optional second hook can also be provided. The rear surface preferably includes a recess therein to allow at least portions of the hook to be nested within the recess when in the collapsed orientation.

Abstract: An assembly is provided including a pole and a smartphone support. The pole is preferably adjustable in length and removably attachable to the smartphone support. The smartphone support is preferably configured as a clamp with an upper arm biased toward a base and with fingers therebetween which can engage edges of a smartphone to hold the smartphone therebetween. A trigger is provided on a handle of the pole which interfaces with the smartphone, such as by a cable removably connectable to an accessory port on the smartphone or wireless transmitter to a receiver in the smartphone, so that the trigger on the handle can operate a camera within the smartphone. A vent coupling is also provided on the support for attachment to a louver of an air conditioning vent or similar structure, typically with the pole removed from the support.
