Abstract: A wireless charger adapter may include a structural member, a receive inductor coil supported by the structural member, an electrical circuit, and an output. The structural member may be placed in proximate location with a cradle of a wireless charging device inclusive of a transmit inductor coil. The receive inductor coil may inductively receive wireless power signals inductively transferred by the transmit inductor coil of the wireless charging device. The electrical circuit may convert the wireless power signals received by the receive inductor coil into electrical signals and the output may output the electrical signals from the electrical circuit to one or more external devices.

Abstract: A handheld code reader may include a main structure, a handle extending from the main structure, and a trigger configured to be pulled by a finger of a user holding the handle. The code reader may further include a conductive element, an antenna configured to sense an inductive change caused by the trigger moving the conductive element, and electronics in electrical communication with the antenna, the electronics configured to determine when the inductive change is indicative of a user selecting to activate a pre-trigger aiming function.

Abstract: A wireless power transfer (WPT) system is operative to dynamically make power-transfer efficiency optimizations based on supply power, load characteristics, or a combination thereof. In various embodiments, optimizations include power-level-specific path selection, loading-based WPT voltage adjustments, and other techniques in various combinations.

Abstract: A scanner that includes a pressure-sensitive component and a haptic feedback component. The pressure-sensitive component can active a function of the scanner. The scanner may include a biometric-sensitive component which may activate additional or similar functions of the scanner. When a function is activated, a plurality of haptic feedbacks may be presented by the haptic feedback component. A method of manufacturing the scanner is also provided.
