Abstract: Systems and methods for wireless power transfer systems are described. A controller of a device can detect an overvoltage condition associated with direct current (DC) power being outputted by a rectifier. The controller can, in response to detection of the overvoltage condition, the controller can control a phase of a current of alternating current (AC) power being received by the rectifier to cause the current and a voltage of the AC power to be out of phase.

Abstract: The present invention relates to the field of tableware technology, and more particularly to a portable tableware suite having foldable and combinable tableware. The tableware suite includes a box body; a fixing plate located within the box body for limiting and avoiding the tableware from moving in the box body; the tableware, which is at least one member selected from the group consisting of a knife, a fork and a spoon, fixed on the fixing plate; and at least one limit part located on the fixing plate for engaging with the tableware. The fork and the spoon are foldable when in use and are flat while the fixing plate is fixed. The tableware such as flat knife, fork and spoon is fixed on the fixing plate, and then is stored in the box body; the fixing plate is easy to be put in or taken out of the box body. In the process of carrying, because the tableware is fixed by the limit part, the tableware will not contact each other, thereby avoiding the noise caused by mutual collision.

Abstract: The present invention is drawn to a ventilation system for a “climate object”, in particular all components with which the user of a vehicle may come in contact in a passenger compartment such as, for example, a steering mechanism for a vehicle, a dashboard, an armrest, a door paneling, a seat cover, a heating blanket, a padding, a cover or a seat, all which include at least one air flow device to guide air through the climate object.

Abstract: A system and method is presented for virtually fitting clothing, jewelry, hats, or eyewear frames utilizing 3D scans of a user's face and/or body. The system and method include inputting a 3D scan of a user's face and a 3D model of the item into the software. The 3D image of the item to be fitted is placed on the face or body image resulting from the 3D scan and is iteratively moved until collision is detected between the 3D model of the item and the 3D model of the face or body. A recommendation engine can be used to recommend different items to the user based on the virtual fit. Eyewear frames may be recommended based on testing each model to determine if temple pieces are long enough to get over the ear and if flex is too great or too small.

Abstract: A Universal Serial Bus docking station is provided in which a USB hub includes a housing which may receive at least one additional USB module which is connected to the USB hub without the use of an additional cable. In a preferred embodiment of the invention, up to three USB modules may be inserted into the housing in stacked arrangement. In addition, each USB module maybe used as a stand alone unit by snapping a sleeve onto the rear of the module. Still further, a USB connector is adapted for use standing vertically from a circuit board and being retained by spring clips extending through the circuit board in a direction substantially parallel to the longitudinal axis of the connector.

Abstract: A headset adapted for use with a cellular telephone comprises an earphone shaped to fit in the ear of a user, an earphone arm extending from the earphone to an earphone arm pivot end, a support protrusion extending from the earphone arm pivot end to rest under the ear of the user when wearing the headset, a telescoping arm extending from a microphone to a microphone arm pivot end, the microphone arm pivot end pivotally connected to the earphone arm, the telescoping arm having an arcuate shape.
