  • Patent number: 11362528
    Abstract: Mitigation of audible output of one or more components in a charging circuit. A charging circuit may include a mitigation controller operative to monitor a frequency of voltage at an input of a charging circuit. The frequency of the voltage at the input node may result in a mitigation condition associated with audible output of one or more components of the charging circuit. In response to detection of the mitigation condition, the mitigation controller may temporarily disable the supply of power from charging circuit to a system load to mitigate (e.g., potentially eliminate) audible output of the circuit. During a time in which the charging circuit is disabled from supplying power to the system load, a battery of the device may supply power to the system load.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 10697505
    Abstract: The description relates to devices that include hinged portions and controlling rotation of the hinged portions with smart clutch control. One example can include powering a motor to cause clutch portions to engage in a first instance. The example can also include monitoring an operational parameter during the powering. The method can further include, based at least in part upon the monitoring, adjusting power to cause the clutch portions to engage in a second instance with a force that is different than the first instance.
