Patent number: 9093849Abstract: A universal charging dock for charging a mobile device includes a base portion defining an opening, a back support portion connected to the base portion, a connector housing within the opening, and a wall mount module. The base portion has grooved sidewalls adjacent a track within the opening, and the connector housing has a grooved track that locks into the track and allows lateral movement along the track. The grooved track further allows the connector housing to rotate within the opening. A male connector, for connecting to a charging port of the mobile device, extends from the connector housing and may move vertically into or out of the connector housing to adjust an extension of the male connector. The universal charging dock may also be placed on either side, to achieve portrait or landscape orientations.Type: GrantFiled: January 7, 2013Date of Patent: July 28, 2015Assignee: Superior Communications, Inc.Inventors: Kristopher Carreon, Soo Youn Park, Mervyn Cheung

Patent number: 8836282Abstract: A battery charger including a converter unit, a terminal adaptor, a cable, a battery, and/or multiple power connectors. A terminal, such as an electronic device, can be connected to the converter unit using the cable or directly to the converter unit without the cable. The converter unit determines when to draw power from an external power and when to cease drawing power from the external power source by detecting a power enablement condition or a power disablement condition. The power disablement condition occurs when the terminal is fully charged, the terminal is disconnected from the converter unit, and/or a charge time of the terminal exceeds the predetermined charge time threshold. The power enablement condition occurs when the terminal is initially connected to the converter unit and/or the terminal needs to be charged. The battery supplies power to components of the converter unit and/or the terminal.Type: GrantFiled: February 17, 2014Date of Patent: September 16, 2014Assignee: Superior Communications, Inc.Inventors: George Chen, Harry Mkhitarian, Samuel Sentosa, David P.
