  • Patent number: 11561628
    Abstract: The disclosed technology provides for a device and method related to powering an electronic stylus with a removable, integrated battery that acts as a structural segment and external casing along the long axis of the stylus body. The integrated battery incorporates interlocking features, which removes the need for an external tube around a battery cell. As a result, the electronic stylus has one structural component performing multiple functions (e.g., providing power, functioning as the stylus casing), which achieves a more lightweight and compact electronic stylus. The placement of the battery along the long axis can vary to provide comfortable weight distribution for writing, which can involve an interlocking interface at one end of the battery or at both ends of the battery (e.g., to interlock with one or both ends of the electronic stylus).

  • Patent number: 11506350
    Abstract: The present invention provides an outdoor lighting lamp comprising a ground inserted base including an assembly opening and a ground nail, and a lighting module including a first shell, a light projection gap, a light emitting component, and a solar panel connected with the light emitting component. The light generated by electrifying the light emitting component is only projected by the light projection gap. One end of the first shell is mounted at the assembly opening, and the first shell is forced to rotate relative to the ground inserted base based on an axis of the ground nail to be a rotation axis. The solar panel is arranged at one end of the first shell where is in an opposite direction of the ground inserted base and not in horizontal. The solar panel adjusts a light receiving position by rotating the first shell relative to the ground inserted base.

  • Patent number: RE49252
    Abstract: A tiltable solar disk light has a solar light disk body comprising a disk-shaped housing which houses solar cells, LEDs, a rechargeable battery, a pushbutton switch, and driver electronics configured to deliver power to the LEDs from the battery when the switch is in the ON position and the solar cells are not detecting ambient light and to cut off power to the LEDs when the switch is in the OFF position or the solar cells are detecting ambient light. The disk body is tiltably and rotatably supported in a frame, on a pair of pegs extending from the housing, with enough clearance space about the disk body to permit tilting and rotating within the frame. A landscape spike is optionally connected to the frame by curved arms configured to define a clearance gap between the spike and the frame to permit the disk body to tilt within the frame about the axis of rotation formed by the pegs.
