  • Publication number: 20190394553
    Abstract: Appliances, such as earbuds, configured to be used in pairs or otherwise configured to be operated in communication with one another, are arranged for transferring charge from a donor appliance to a recipient appliance. For the earbud system, a first earbud includes an external contact operatively coupled to the first battery, and the second earbud includes a complementary external contact operatively coupled to the second battery. The external contact on the first earbud and the complementary external contact on the second earbud are arranged for electrical connection to provide power from the first battery on the first earbud for charging the second battery on the second earbud, so that the second earbud can act as a recipient of power from the first earbud which acts as a donor of power.

  • Publication number: 20190247982
    Abstract: An apparatus that focuses on improving efficiency, profitability, and results in the automotive detailing and automotive paint and body shop industries, contains a first layer, a second layer, and a center layer. An inner surface of the first layer is connected to the center layer. An inner surface of the second layer is connected to the center layer opposite to the first sanding layer. The multiple tiers of the apparatus improve user control and maximizes surface contact between the apparatus and the surface being sanded. A first edge and a second edge of the first layer and the second layer can be a straight-cut edge, a bevel cut edge or a rounded edge. Thus, the apparatus can be used on a variety of surfaces. The consistency and the uniformity of the sanding patterns obtained helps the user compound and polish the sanded surface to a more refined finish.
