Patent number: 11677249Abstract: A foldable watch charging adapter has a watch charging housing provided with an induction charge surface. The watch charging housing is coupled to a charge end of a charge arm. A joint rotatably couples a pivot end of the charge arm to a joint end of a connector arm; and an electrical connector is provided at a connector end of the connector arm. An angular interconnection orientation of the electrical connector may be adjusted by rotating the connector arm with respect to the charge arm about the joint. Further, a connection interface adapter may be included to increase the range of connection interfaces that may be utilized.Type: GrantFiled: February 28, 2020Date of Patent: June 13, 2023Assignee: Xentris Wireless LLCInventors: Mark Lopotko, Christopher Whetstone

Patent number: 11605840Abstract: A battery provided with at least one battery cell electrically coupled to a battery management circuitry, a power regulation and supply circuitry, a USB-C port controller, an E-marker integrated circuit and a USB interface. The E-marker integrated circuit provided in-line along a CC conductor between the USB-C port controller and the USB interface. The USB-C port controller is configured to enable the E-marker integrated circuit upon reception of a vendor defined message via the USB interface which enables a high power delivery mode between the battery and a device without the presence of a separate interconnecting E-marker cable there between.Type: GrantFiled: March 25, 2021Date of Patent: March 14, 2023Assignee: Xentris Wireless LLCInventors: Vivek Patel, Rick Nowinski

Patent number: 9401573Abstract: An electrical plug connector includes an insulated housing, conductive terminals, and a metallic shell. The insulated housing includes a base portion and recessed portions configured at two sides of the base portion. The conductive terminals are held at the base portion. The metallic shell includes a body shell, two stopping pieces, two holding portions, and an extending sheet. The body shell encloses the base portion and defines two engaging grooves. The stopping pieces are protruded out of lateral inner surfaces of the body shell to engage with the recessed portions. The holding portions allow connections of portions of the body shell spaced by the engaging groove and hold two sides of the circuit board from moving. Engaging pieces of the extending sheet are engaged with the circuit board to prevent the circuit board from being detached from the insulated housing to prevent charging or data transmission failure.Type: GrantFiled: December 29, 2015Date of Patent: July 26, 2016Assignees: XENTRIS WIRELESS LLC, ADVANCED-CONNECTEK INC.Inventors: Fernandel M. Fernandez, Min-Lung Chien, Ming-Yung Chang
