  • Hazard detection system for portable electrical devices
    Patent number: 11128114
    Abstract: A power control apparatus can include a power circuit configured to transfer power to a load circuit. The apparatus can also include one or more environmental sensors configured to register environmental data including at least one of movement, hazardous gas, environmental temperature, environmental moisture, and collision data associated with the apparatus. The apparatus can also include a power controller circuit operatively connected to the one or more environmental sensors and the power circuit, the power controller circuit being configured to receive the environmental data from the one or more environmental sensors, determine whether the received environmental data exceeds a predetermined threshold, and in response to determining that the received environmental data exceeded a predetermined threshold, interrupting supply of power from the power circuit to the load circuit.
