Abstract: Systems and methods for independently upgradeable docking stations are discussed herein. One or more chipsets of a docking station may provide services to a host device, and each may use a corresponding firmware. The docking station may receive chipset firmware update data for one or more of the chipsets. In a first case, this data is received from a universal serial bus (USB) storage device (which in some cases can independently update its copy of the chipset firmware update data with a cloud server). In other cases, this data is received from a cloud server using a network interface system on a chip (which may be internal to, or separately connected to, the docking station). The docking station performs this receipt and/or the corresponding firmware update with no input from any host device that may (or may not) be attached, and/or without interrupting chipset services of any such host device.

The mosaic video stream is transmitted to a client device for decoding and visual rendering within an output window.

Abstract: Provided herein are biodegradable kombucha bacterial cellulose-based composite materials particularly suitable for formulating films for use in packaging applications, such as food packaging, thereby serving as a replacement for non-degradable plastics. The films are edible, strong, transparent, and have low hygroscopicity. In addition to the bacterial cellulose, the films can also include protein encapsulated within the cellulose matrix, and a crosslinked coating with ionic polysaccharide, a polyether, and a metal cation. Alternatively, the films can include a bacterial cellulose matrix and a hydrophobically modified polysaccharide on the bacterial cellulose matrix. Also provided are an effective, green, and low-cost strategy for fabricating the biodegradable materials.

Abstract: Docking systems for electronic devices including displays are disclosed. An example docking system includes a first housing, a port hub and an integrated or detachable holder. The first housing includes a first surface that receives a first device, a second surface opposite to the first surface and a pad disposed on the second surface at proximity to a side of the second surface. The port hub may include a power inlet and a data input/output port. The power inlet receives a power supply voltage and further provides the power supply voltage to the first device. The data input/output port may receive data signals and may further provide the received data signals to the first device. The holder securing a second housing to the pad may include a hinge that pivotally adjusts an angle between the first housing and the second housing. The second housing may receive a second device.

Abstract: Power and data adaptors are disclosed. An example adaptor includes first and second ports configured to be coupled to an electronic device and a docking station respectively. The first port includes first data port and first power port configured to be coupled to data port and power port of the electronic device, respectively. The second port includes a second data port configured to be coupled to a data port of the docking station. The first data port receives first data from the electronic device and the second data port provides the first data to the docking station. The second data port receives second data from the docking station and the first data port provides the second data to the electronic device. The first power port supplies the power port of the electronic device with power having a first wattage greater than a second wattage supplied to the docking station.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides a physiological bra with automatic volume adjustment, including: a bra body, a cup structure overlapping the bra body, and a lining structure overlapping the cup structure, where the cup structure is arranged between the bra body and the lining structure; top portions of two sides of the bra body, top portions of two sides of the cup structure and top portions of two sides of the lining structure are fixedly connected; and the cup structure is stretchable between the bra body and the lining structure to vary the volume of the lining structure. The present disclosure solves the problem that existing bras cannot meet the needs of people with breast asymmetry.

Abstract: Power adapters having Universal Serial Bus (USB) Type-C (USB-C) receptacles acting in a USB Power Delivery (USB-PD) sink mode are disclosed herein. The USB-C receptacle can be connected to a USB-PD source via a USB-C cable. The power adapter further includes a socket in electrical communication with the USB-C receptacle that receives a removable (interchangeable) barrel plug of a size corresponding to the barrel receptacle of an output device to be powered by the power adapter. The power adapter uses a USB-PD controller to communicate with the USB-PD source via the USB-C receptacle to request that power be provided at a desired direct current (DC) voltage by the USB-PD source to the USB-C receptacle. The power so received is then delivered between the USB-C receptacle and the socket. From the socket, the power travels through the attached removable barrel plug and to the barrel receptacle of the output device.
