  • Patent number: 10712800
    Abstract: Systems, apparatuses, and methods for aligning active and idle phases of components in a computing system are disclosed. A computing system includes components that can be forced into an active or idle phase and components that cannot be forced into an active or idle phase. The system implements schemes for aligning the active and idle phases of the components within the system. For example, a timer starts counting when a processor and memory subsystem go from a low power state to an operational state. If the amount of time spent by the processor and memory subsystems in the operational state without transitioning to the low power state exceeds a threshold, the system forces active-to-idle and idle-to-active phase transitions of components in the system in order to cause a realignment of active and idle phases of the various components within the system.

  • Patent number: 9543780
    Abstract: A modular wireless charging assembly is presented herein. In particular, the charging assembly comprises a plurality of wireless charging pads or bases disposed in removably interconnected relation with one another to provide a collective charging surface or interface. Particularly, each of the wireless charging pads or bases include a charging surface which is structured and configured to wirelessly charge an electronic device (e.g., a cellular telephone, mp3 player, PDA, game console, etc.) disposed thereon. The various wireless charging pads or bases include attachment assemblies which are structured to dispose adjacent wireless charging pads or bases in a removably interconnected relation with one another.
