A system, a method, and a device for detecting and charging electronic articles, and more particularly for charging batteries in electronic cigarettes.

Method, system and device for switchless detection and charging

A system for verifying authenticity of precious metal coins and bars includes a sensor system defining a sample region configured to receive a precious metal coin or bar therein; a sample support; and a data processor configured to communicate with the sensor system so as to receive a detection signal therefrom and to provide an output signal. The system includes a data storage device and an output display. The sensor system detects a bulk electrical property of the coin or bar. The data processor processes the detection signal and retrieves a stored physical property from the data storage device to provide an output signal that includes at least a measured value of the bulk electrical property and a corresponding range of expected values. The output display uses the output signal to display information for a user to be able to make an authenticity verification of the coin or bar.

Systems and methods for detecting fake or altered bullion, coins, and metal

A personal solar appliance (PSA) is presented that collects and stores solar energy. A method of charging a battery from a solar cell according to some embodiments is presented that includes applying power from a bootstrap circuit when the battery has a very low state of charge or the solar cell has output below a threshold; and applying power from a maximum power point circuit when the battery and the solar cell provide power above the threshold.
