  • Patent number: 11920869
    Abstract: An energy-moving device (EMD) transfers heat between a low-temperature-rated device (LTRD) and a high-temperature-rated device (HTRD), wherein the LTRD is thermally separated from the HTRD such that the LTRD is not stacked above the HTRD. A temperature-controlling device (TCD) actively transfers heat between the LTRD and the EMD. An air-moving device (AMD) generates an air stream for transferring heat from the EMD to ambient air. A controller receives temperature information about the ambient air, the LTRD, and the HTRD; determines when heat should be removed from the LTRD, when heat should be added to the LTRD, and when no heat needs to be transferred to or from the LTRD; and determines a first voltage for the TCD and a second voltage for the AMD based on the received temperature information. And a neural network updates the voltage values based on how effectively the voltage values have performed.

  • Publication number: 20160285495
    Abstract: A charger system for cell phones and the like provides an easel stand supporting the cell phone and a photocell for an optimal charging with the photocell substantially perpendicular to the direction of the sun. A wireless charging coil built into the easel allows power to be communicated from the photocell and an internal storage battery to the phone as supported on the easel.
