  • Patent number: 12210797
    Abstract: Examples described herein relate to transitioning a playback session between portable playback devices such as “smart” headphones, earbuds, and handheld speakers with playback devices of a zone-based media playback system. Exemplary techniques facilitate continuity of playback when transitioning between locations (e.g., from at home to on-the-go or vice versa) or between listening paradigms (e.g., personal or out-loud playback of audio content). An example implementation includes detecting a swap trigger, determining the source playback device(s) and target playback device(s), and performing a playback session swap between the source playback device(s) and target playback device(s).

  • Publication number: 20240399876
    Abstract: A hand held, portable jump starter device includes a rechargeable battery with a plurality of battery cells connected in series, and a battery cell equalization circuit connected to the rechargeable battery. The battery cell equalization circuit includes an individual battery cell equalization circuit for each of the plurality of battery cells, with each of the individual battery cell equalization circuits configured to discharge a particular battery cell upon the particular battery cell reaching a cell voltage exceeding a pre-determined upper voltage threshold until the particular battery cell reaches a pre-determined lower voltage level below the upper voltage threshold, and where the individual battery cell equalization circuits are configured to charge lower voltage individual battery cells at a higher rate allowing lower voltage individual battery cells to catch up in voltage to an individual battery cell having a highest voltage.
