Abstract: The present invention generally relates to a powered mobile display device stand for use in locations without available or reliable electrical power. A plate designed to hold a display device is attached to an articulating neck. The neck is affixed to a mobile base containing therein a battery, inverter, charger, power input and power output. The plate may articulate to adjust viewing angle of the display device. And the neck may articulate to adjust the viewing height of the display device. The battery may be sized to provide power to the display device, as well as additional peripherals. Computer software is optionally included to control and monitor all functionality of the system using a display device such as a touchscreen monitor.

Abstract: The present invention generally relates to automatic charging systems and methods for mobile devices that require more power than is possible with inductive chargers. A mobile device charging station is provided, wherein each mobile device inserted for charging contains a charging receiver that is attached to a cover, such as a laptop cover. The cabinet further comprises a multiplicity of base stations, each of which provides a grid of conductive alternating polarity connection plates, spaced to accept two prongs similarly spaced on the bottom of the charging receiver. Power flows from the base station automatically through the charging receiver to the mobile device when it is placed on a surface containing a base station within the cabinet.
