  • Publication number: 20230396097
    Abstract: A wireless power transmitting device includes a surface adapted to support a container containing a wireless power receiving device and further includes a wireless power transfer coil positioned to couple with a wireless power receiving coil of the wireless power receiving device when the container is placed on the surface. The wireless power transmitting device detects a presence of the wireless power receiving device when the container containing the wireless power receiving device is placed on the surface and determines whether the wireless power receiving device permits wireless power transfer while it is inside the container. Using the wireless power transfer coil, the wireless power transmitting device wirelessly transmits power to the wireless power receiving device through the container to charge a battery of the wireless power receiving device, in accordance with determining the wireless power receiving device permits wireless power transfer while it is inside the container.

  • Publication number: 20230393837
    Abstract: In some implementations, the device may include exiting a shelf-life mode and turning on a peer-to-peer wireless protocol in response to detecting a power source. A device identifier can be provided to a host device via the peer-to-peer wireless protocol. A connection ticket authorizing the electronic device to connect to a wide area network can be received from the host device via the peer-to-peer wireless protocol. The connection ticket can be being generated by a server system using a private key. The connection ticket may include the device identifier associated with the electronic device. A connection to a wide area network can be requested from an access point using a network wireless protocol. A software update can be performed over the wide area network via the access point.

  • Patent number: 10891745
    Abstract: A system for real-time depth sensing includes a structured-light stereo device, a time of flight device, and a computing device. The computing device executes instructions that cause the computing device to determine depth measurements of a scene using information received by the structured-light stereo device and to determine time of flight measurements of the scene using information received by the time of flight device. The computing device executes further instructions that cause the computing device to generate a depth map using the depth measurements, to generate calibration points using the time of flight measurements, and to update the depth map using the calibration points.
