  • Patent number: 10256660
    Abstract: Systems and methods for free device placement for wireless charging are described. In some embodiments, an Information Handling System (IHS) may include a processor; and a memory coupled to the processor, the memory having program instructions stored thereon that, upon execution by the processor, cause the IHS to: determine that the IHS is placed in a position on a wireless charging pad such that the wireless charging pad cannot provide power to the IHS above a minimum threshold value; request that the wireless charging pad provide fringe power to IHS without repositioning the IHS on the wireless charging pad, wherein the fringe power is smaller than the minimum threshold power level; and use the fringe power to indicate a problem or error to a user.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20170199556
    Abstract: Systems and methods for synchronous adapter power energy burst mode support for system turbo are described. In some embodiments, an Information Handling System (IHS) may include a processor and a memory coupled to the processor, the memory having program instructions stored thereon that, upon execution by the processor, cause the IHS to: determine that the processor is expected to enter a turbo mode; and transmit a command to a power adaptor in anticipation of the turbo mode to make an additional amount of energy available to the IHS when the processor enters the turbo mode.
