Abstract: A system for charging a device can include a housing and a first solar panel, a second solar panel connected in series to the first solar panel, and a third solar panel connected in series to the first solar panel and the second solar panel. The system can include a boost converter including an input channel connected to the first, second, and third solar panels and an output channel configured to couple to the device. The system can include a charge pump including a first flying capacitor connected between the first solar panel and the third solar panel and a second flying capacitor connected between the second solar panel and the third solar panel. The system can include a controller configured to selectively switch connectivity between the set of solar panels and the set of flying capacitors to route current to the boost converter.

Abstract: One variation of a system for solar power systems includes: a power storage device; a flexible PCB layer; a photovoltaic cell arranged over the flexible PCB layer; and a power conversion circuit arranged underneath the flexible PCB layer, the system comprising a power stage circuit electrically coupled to the photovoltaic array and to the power storage device through the flexible PCB layer; and a controller electrically coupled to the power stage circuit through the flexible PCB layer and configured to a) measure a power output from the photovoltaic array, b) operate the power stage circuit in an idle mode in response to determining that the power output does not exceed a threshold power output, and c) calculate a maximum power point of the photovoltaic array in response to determining that the power out exceeds the threshold power output.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method of establishing one or more federations for content distribution in a system comprising a plurality of content providers (CSPm) and a plurality of content distributors (CDAj), the method comprising a step (130), implemented by an intermediate entity (INT) distinct from said content providers and from said content distributors, of associating at least one of said content providers with at least one of said content distributors as a function of parameters provided to the intermediate entity by said content providers and of parameters provided to the intermediate entity by said content distributors.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for enabling the discovery of at least one service (24) matching a discovery request and provided by an object located in a space among interconnected smart spaces.
