Abstract: A tablet charging cabinet includes a storage space having a base, a top wall, two opposed side walls, and a back wall, and a plurality of angled partition panels defining a plurality of storage and charging compartments at different elevations therein, each compartment having a respective connector at the back of the respective panels. Each connector is configured for providing power supply and network connection to a respective electronic device connected thereto. At least two alignment posts located on two sides of each connector to facilitate alignment of an electronic device to a respective connector. Each partition panel is configured to have an opening to allow a charging indicator light of an electronic device to be visible from outside the cabinet. The plurality of partition panels are angled downward toward the back wall to facilitate connection of an electronic device to a respective connector.

Abstract: A charging apparatus for supplying power from a power source to a battery includes a main charging device and a remote indicator cable configured to be releasably connected to the main charging device. The main charging device and the remote indicator cable each have one or more indicator lights. The main charging device is configured for determining a charging profile of the battery upon triggering a learn button on the main charging device. The respective one or more indicator lights on the main charging device and on the indicator cable are configured to show an illumination pattern indicating a specific charging status.

Abstract: A control system for a common access cabinet having a plurality of drawers and electrically controlled latches. Each latch corresponds to one drawer and is configured to receive an electrical signal. The electrical signal contains an address assigned to a particular drawer. When a latch receives a signal that defines the address of the drawer to which that latch corresponds, the latch unlocks that corresponding drawer. The latches receive the signals over an asynchronous serial interface bus. A user input device receives user identification data that is processed by a processor device to determine if the user is authorized to access any of the drawers. If the user is authorized, the processor device generates a signal that contains an address that corresponds to a drawer identified in the user identification data. The signal is converted to an asynchronous serial signal which is routed to the asynchronous serial interface bus.
