  • Patent number: 10523064
    Abstract: A system utilizes the colocation of the sensing and the control or other powered sections of the product to supplement the environmental conditions in which the energy harvesting sensors operate, thus providing a robust energy source for sensors to operate.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: August 18, 2017
    Date of Patent: December 31, 2019
    Assignee: Computime Ltd.
    Inventors: Brenton James Judge, Wai-Leung Ha, Kwok Wa Kenny Kam, Chi Lung Chan, San Bao Gordon Qian, Xiao Jun Zhang
  • Patent number: 10291065
    Abstract: A smart plug that is partitioned into a plurality of printed circuit boards (PCBs) in a three dimensional manner to reduce its size. Aspects consider the effect of the possible increased internal temperature as the size of the smart plug is reduced. For example, thick metal foils connect various components of a smart plug to reduce heat dissipation within the smart plug. Also, a metal foil may transfer heat from contact metal on a PCB to a side wall of a plastic housing of the smart plug. The smart plug may comprise a computing device that obtains information identifying the attached electrical device and accesses device data about the time duration during which the attached electrical device exhibits transient characteristics. The computing device then uses the accessed data to effectively control the attached electrical device.
