Abstract: A docking speaker includes a case enclosing a pair of push-push woofers located around two opposite lateral sides and outwardly facing away from each other in the transverse direction, a wireless charging module located between the pair of push-push woofers in the transverse direction and forming an upward oblique seating face on which the smart phone is adapted to be positioned, and a full range speaker located between the pair of push-push woofers in the transverse direction and aligned below the wireless charging module in the vertical direction when viewed along the front-to-back direction.

Abstract: Some embodiments concern a method of transmitting electrical signals. The method can include: using a global positioning satellite receiver to determine a first location of a first electrical device; using a first transmitter to transmit the first location to a first server; using a receiver to receive information identifying at least one first unused frequency at the first location from the first server; selecting a first transmission frequency from the at least one first unused frequency; and communicating the first transmission frequency to a user. Other embodiments are disclosed in this application.

Abstract: Apparatus for supporting a tablet computer or an electrical device having a touch screen in multiple orientations, the apparatus including a substantially planar base, a back member, a first hinge attaching the back member to the base, a cover configured to hold the electrical device, and a connector that attaches the cover to the back member. The connector can include at least one alignment piece that aligns the cover to the back member only in certain predefined orientations including a landscape orientation and a portrait orientation, and the alignment piece inhibits the cover from being rotated about an axis perpendicular to the cover relative to the back member when the cover is attached to the back member with the connector, but the connector allows the cover to be detached from the back member and reattached in a different one of the predefined orientations.

Abstract: An apparatus for supporting an electronic device such as a tablet computer from a user's leg, the apparatus having a leg-conforming region having a rounded edge configured to conform around the top of one of the user's legs. Various embodiments have a base, a lower back member, an upper back member, hinges, a flexible top layer, a flexible bottom layer, a central stiff layer, or a combination thereof. In some embodiments, the leg conforming region extends across a hinge. In certain embodiments, the members, base, or a combination thereof, are planar, rectangular, or both. In different embodiments, the leg conforming region can be flexible, elastic, or a hole through the apparatus. Hinges can be parallel, some embodiments include a handle, and methods include a method of obtaining, providing, or manufacturing an apparatus for supporting an electronic device from a user's leg.

Abstract: A cord management device comprises a body (110) having a first end (111), a second end (112), a perimeter (113), and an interior (114) bounded by the perimeter. A cord (210) that is to be managed may be wrapped around the body of the cord management device in such a way as to control a length of a portion (211, 212) of the cord that is able to hang freely, thus protecting the entire cord. The cord management device further comprises an aperture (120) spaced apart from the perimeter and extending through the interior of the body, and still further comprises a recess (140) in the interior of the body capable of receiving and storing an object (410) attached to the cord. A cord management system including the cord management device is also disclosed.
