Abstract:
A method, an apparatus, and a computer program product for booting the apparatus with a low-energy battery are provided. In a first configuration, the apparatus monitors a level of the battery while the battery is charging. The apparatus attempts a boot of the apparatus when the level is greater than or equal to a dynamic boot threshold. The apparatus increases the dynamic boot threshold when the boot is unsuccessful and repeating the monitoring and the attempting based on the increased dynamic boot threshold. In a second configuration, the apparatus detects a connection to an external power source. The apparatus attempts a boot using an FLCB protocol that is based upon power drawn directly from the external power source upon detecting the connection to the external power source. The apparatus attempts the boot as part of an ATC protocol when the boot using the FLCB protocol is unsuccessful.

Abstract:
A conductive multi-touch touch-sensitive panel includes two intersecting but electrically isolated arrays of linear conductors which can be brought into electrical contact by touching the panel. A display element may be positioned beneath the two arrays of linear conductors to provide a touchscreen panel. A touch to a cover plate or member causes one or more linear conductors in one array to contact one or more linear conductors in the other array. The location of a touch to the panel can be detected by individually or sequentially applying an electrical signal, such as a voltage or current, to each linear conductor in one array while sensing voltage or current on each of the linear conductors in the other array.
Abstract:
A method, apparatus, and non-transitory computer readable medium are provided for high current battery charging using IR dropout compensation. The method first measures a battery current value and then multiplies that battery current value by an effective resistance of the battery to produce an effective dropout voltage value. The effective battery voltage value is then compared with a desired battery top off voltage value. The switch mode battery charger output setpoint is adjusted based on the setpoint voltage. Battery current and terminal current are then compared. Charging is terminated if the battery current is less than the terminal current. If the battery current is greater than the terminal current the battery current value is measured again and the charging process continues until the condition is met.
