A charging stand is provided including a body having a first surface, and a bump having a top region and one or more sides. The one or more sides extend between the first surface and the top region. The charging stand further includes one or more base contact pins that are coupled to the body. Each base contact pin has an exposed end disposed at a first distance in a first direction from the first surface. The charging stand further includes a bump contact pin extending from the top region of the bump. The bump contact pin has an exposed end disposed a second distance in the first direction from the first surface, the second distance is greater than the first distance, and the first direction is perpendicular to the first surface.

Device charging system

Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to a headphone or speaker assembly that contains two or more audio components that are configured to be magnetically coupled together by use of a complementary magnetic pole configuration in the headphone or speaker assembly to provide one or more useful functions. These useful functions may include elements that are able to sense that the two or more audio components are in contact with each other, or are at least proximate to each other, so that their audio playback capability can be suspended while they are in this unused state. A sensor located within one of the components can detect a change in the magnetic field and generate an electronic signal indicating a clasped condition.

Embodiments of the disclosure provided herein are configured to desirably distribute and thus withstand forces that are applied to an audio device assembly during regular use. The configurations discussed herein can be used to prevent the various device related components from becoming damaged during use. The application of these forces can cause immediate failure of the electrical connections in extreme cases, or more typically cause eventual failure of the electrical connections and device due to repetitive application of the applied force. Therefore, it is desirable to minimize the stress applied to the various electrical connection points during use, such as the electrical connection points.

Robust audio device design

A method of improving the rate of extraction of oil bearing liquid from an oil well comprising the steps of providing a sump in the well casing below the openings through the casing communicating with the oil bearing formation so that the oil bearing liquid flowing into the casing flows into the sump; removing the oil bearing liquid collected in the sump through an oil lift pipe whose intake is submerged in the oil bearing liquid so that the intake of the oil lift pipe remains submerged in the oil bearing liquid; and imposing a vacuum in the casing at the openings through the casing to the oil bearing formation and above the oil bearing liquid in the sump to increase the flow of oil bearing liquid from the oil bearing formation into the casing through the openings. The application also discloses the apparatus for carrying out the method.
