A wireless power system may include an accessory configured to transfer or relay wireless power to a portable electronic device. The portable electronic device may include wireless charging circuitry and sensors configured to detect compatible accessories currently coupled with the portable electronic device. The portable electronic device performs wireless charging or related functions in accordance with the coupled accessories.

Wireless power system with communications

Systems, methods, and computer-readable media for managing near field communications during a low power express mode of an electronic device are provided that may make credentials of a near field communication ('NFC') component appropriately secure and appropriately accessible while also limiting the power consumption of the NFC component and of other components of the electronic device.

Management of near field communications using a low power express mode of an electronic device

Embodiments disclosed herein relate to reducing a power consumption of an electronic device while maintaining some functionality of the electronic device while the electronic device is in a low power mode. The device may be in the low power mode due to a battery level being below a threshold. If the battery level is below the threshold, the electronic device may enter the low power mode. However, before entering the low power mode, some functionality of an application processor may be transferred to a communication controller. Once the functionality is transferred, the application processor may be disabled to reduce power consumption while maintaining functionality of the application processor. The electronic device may also utilize various communication protocols to communicate with a peripheral device. Even though the electronic device may be in the low power mode, the communication controller may be used to cause the peripheral device to perform various actions.

Electronic device functionality in low power mode

The invention herein is a ventricular assistive device (VAD) based on a progressive cavity pump. A progressive cavity pump does not use blades or fins to propel the blood. Instead, the pump stator and rotor are designed so that, when combined, there are a series of cavities formed between the pump rotor and the stator wall. Blood is carried through the pump chamber in these cavities when the rotor rotates. In the preferred embodiment of the invention, the cavities progress on a straight line path through the pump, providing an efficient and unobstructed channel for blood flow and minimizing the risk of thrombus.
