Abstract: A method, a controlling unit and an electronic charging arrangement for determining a state of charge of a battery (205) during charging of the battery (205) are presented. The method comprises charging (110) the battery (205) with a charging current (410) during a first time period (T1), interrupting (120) the charging current (410) after the first time period (T1) at least for an interruption time period (T2), determining (130) a change (480) of terminal voltage (420) of the battery (205) during the interruption time period (T2), and determining (140) the state of charge based on the determined change (480) of terminal voltage (420).

Abstract: The invention relates to an apparatus and method, for capturing an electronic image using a CMOS imager having an electronic shutter and a reduced dark current component in its image output signal. The dark current is reduced by—reading out each line of the CMOS imager in normal and reversed order and subsequent processing.

Abstract: At least one object in an image presented on a display of an apparatus is detected and image location data for each of the at least one object is obtained. Each detected object on the display is presented in a sequential fashion based the obtained image location data, where the image is panned on the display and a currently displayed object is resized by an image resizing module of the apparatus to be a focal point of the image.

Abstract: A charging device including a battery; a first induction coil coupled to the battery; and an induction core extending through the first induction coil. The induction core has a portion which extends in an outward direction from the charging device and is adapted to removably couple with a second induction coil of a portable electronic device by extending into the second induction coil.

Abstract: A battery system for a portable electronic device includes a thin wall can structure for holding cathode and anode material and electrolyte defining a battery cell. Current is limited by a safety component integral with a cap assembly that seals the can structure and provides electrical and mechanical connection with a related battery pack engagement and holding arrangement which maintains the battery pack in an operative position in the electronic device. A finger groove is used to lift the battery pack from its operative position. A weakened wall in the finger groove functions as a safety vent and ruptures to release built-up pressure to prevent the battery pack from exploding.

Abstract: The invention pertains to a safety feature that finds particular utility in batteries with flexible shells. Conductors to be attached to the electrodes of a battery are thin strips, and the strength of such a conductive strip (20) is reduced at one point e.g. by cutting a slit (22) on its side. At one side of the slit the conductive strip is attached to the top part (61) of the battery shell, and at the other side of the slit to the bottom part (62) of the battery shell. If overcharging, for instance, generates an overpressure inside the battery, the battery shell bulges and tears (B) the conductive strip in two starting at the slit. This way, the structures and equipment around the battery will avoid damage possibly caused by battery chemicals or high temperature. The arrangement according to the invention makes separate internal battery protection components redundant and has low costs.

Abstract: A flexible battery structure comprises a stack of a layer of cathode active material and anode active material separated by a layer of electrolyte and held between a cathode flexible substrate and an anode flexible substrate, wherein the cathode and anode substrates have a surface area larger than the surface area of the stacked layers to form and define overlapping end portions which are hermetically sealed with a water-resistant composite material. The outer surface of the cathode and outer surface of the anode form the positive polarity and negative polarity connection leads of the battery structure. The anode and cathode substrates are flexible to accommodate applications in which the battery is subjected to bending.
