Abstract: Aspects of the subject technology provide improved techniques for human-computer interactions including disambiguation of a human user's linguistic command. The improved techniques may include integrating linguistic input from a user with additional input from sensors relating to the user and the user's environment. In an aspect, imagery of a user's environment may be first analyzed to identify objects in the environment. Input regarding the user, such as a user's gaze location, may trigger a second analysis of a subset of the identified objects in the environment. The results of these analyses may then be used to resolve an ambiguity in linguistic user input from the user.

Abstract: A housing for portable chargers includes a frame, at least one retaining member, and a charging pad. The frame defines a plurality of components configured to receive a plurality of portable chargers. The at least one retaining member is attached to the frame and configured to retain the plurality of portable chargers in the plurality of compartments. The charging pad extends into the plurality of compartments and is configured to charge the plurality of portable chargers.

Abstract: A portable power bank includes: a housing; a rechargeable battery disposed within the housing; a plurality of contacts disposed on the housing and in electrical communication with the rechargeable battery; and a first connector in electrical communication with the rechargeable battery and configured to be plugged into a port of a first electronic device. The contacts are configured to receive electrical power from a conductive charging pad capable of supplying the electrical power when the contacts are placed on the conductive charging pad. A system including a conductive charging pad and one or more of the portable power banks is also described.

Abstract: A mounting system for a portable device includes a top case, a bottom case coupled to the top case, and first and second arms on two sides of the top case and the bottom case and spaced away from each other. Each of the first and second arms include a first section and a second section. In a first state where the top case is pushed toward the bottom case and a first distance is between the first and second arms, the first sections protrude outside from the top case. In a second state where the second sections are pushed toward each other and a second distance smaller than the first distance is between the first and second arms, the first sections do not protrude outside from the top case or protrude outside from the top case less than in the first state.

Abstract: An electronic handheld device with remote cable release mechanism, a handle portion and method for performing the same. The device includes a housing defining an internal cavity and has an elastically deformable flexible portion. An electrical connector block is disposed in the cavity and includes a female receptacle configured for receiving a male electrical cable connector having a movable locking clip configured to releasably engage the connector block. An actuating protrusion is preferably disposed on the flexible portion of the housing for releasing the cable connector. The protrusion is movable towards the connector block in response to the application of an inward pressing force on the flexible portion. The protrusion operates to depress the locking clip on the cable connector, thereby releasing the cable connector. In another embodiment, a resealable dimple may be provided in the flexible portion which can be punctured via a probe to access the locking clip.
