Abstract: A wireless power transmitter includes a charging coil, an electronics housing, and a top side. The charging coil housing houses a charging coil and includes a top surface, wherein the charging coil wirelessly transmits power to a receiver placed on the top surface of the charging coil housing. The electronics housing houses one or more electronics and a fan. The top side is located adjacent to the electronics housing, wherein a top surface of the top side faces a bottom surface of the receiver. An intake cooling path is defined by a region between the bottom surface of the receiver and the top surface of the top side and an exhaust cooling path is located on a side of the charging coil housing opposite the intake cooling path and defined by a region between the receiver and the top surface of the top side.

Abstract: A wireless charging device includes a main housing having a first end and a second end and a channel extending between the first end and the second end, a wireless charging coil located within the main housing separately from the channel, and a top housing located adjacent to the main housing and having a top surface and a bottom surface. The top surface is configured to receive a device to be charged, and the bottom surface is directly exposed to the channel, wherein the top housing is comprised of a thermally conductive and electrically insulative material, and wherein the channel is configured to guide airflow along the bottom surface of the top housing to dissipate heat within the wireless charging device.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for automatically generating a multi-color palette and picker based on a set of colors is presented herein. Specifically, a method is described for generating a color palette with a plurality of anchors. Each anchor is assigned a color and a location in the color palette. The palette is colored with interpolated colors, based on each anchor's location. A user may select an interpolated color or an anchor color from the color palette and update one or more images and/or other objects with the selected color.

Abstract: The present disclosure is related to illustrative embodiments of an apparatus and method for maintaining carbonation of sparkling beverages, such as sparkling wines, cocktails, and non-alcoholic beverages such as sodas and coffee. A transparent, shatter-resistant, height-adjustable carbonation enclosure is used to contain an opened bottle of a sparkling beverage. An air-tight carbonation cap with a built-in one-way valve is used to re-carbonate the beverage inside the bottle using a pressurized gas source. The base of the carbonation enclosure includes a platform that may be used to adjust the effective height of the enclosure to fit the height of the bottle and provide an air-tight interface between an opening of the bottle and the carbonation cap. The carbonation enclosure further includes a number of openings to open air to prevent pressurization of the carbonation enclosure. Another illustrative embodiment includes a safety enclosure for multiple bottles pressurized directly by conical nozzles.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for copying and blending a source region of an image into a target region of an image is presented herein. Specifically, a method is described for generating a difference color map from colors sampled in a source region and colors sampled just outside of a target region. The difference color map is applied to the source region stored. The results are stored in the target region. If no additional input has been received to modify the source region or the target region, then a larger difference color map may be generated and used to copy and blend the source region into the target region. A source region may appear to be better blended into the target region if a larger difference color map is used.

Abstract: An apparatus and method are disclosed for carbonation of liquids, such as beverages like cocktails. The apparatus includes a transparent container having a small opening and a twist-lock large opening. The small opening includes a self-sealing one-way valve to introduce a gas, such as CO2, into the container. The large opening is used to load the liquid and solid ingredients, such as ice and fruit chunks. The large opening includes an O-ring to self-seal the container upon pressurization by the gas. A light port at the bottom of the container may be provided through which a light may be shone for visual effects. In operation, the user fills the container through the large opening with ice and fruit chunks, and twists the large opening shut. The user then injects CO2 through the valve and shakes the container to produce high-quality highly carbonated cocktails that sparkle much like Champagne.
