    Abstract: This disclosure is directed to product merchandising systems that enable products to be swapped between base assemblies of different product merchandising systems and accommodate different charging/powering capabilities of the products. Product merchandising systems have puck assemblies comprising modular puck upper portions and modular puck lower portions. Various different products may be mounted on the modular puck upper portions, each with a different way of receiving power from the modular puck upper portions. Each modular puck upper portion can be detached from a modular puck lower portion of a product merchandising system and reattached to a modular puck lower portion of another product merchandising system without having to reconfigure a power connection to the product attached to the modular puck upper portion.

    Abstract: Methods and systems that selectively controls whether a battery is electronically connected to or disconnected from operational circuitry of an electronic device are described. The switching circuitry electronically connects the battery with operational circuitry in response to external electric power being available to the operational circuitry, thereby allowing the battery to be available as a backup source of electrical power for the operational circuitry when external electric power is lost. Methods and systems also electronically disconnect the battery from the operational circuitry in response to a loss of external electric power to the operational circuitry. As a result, undesirable battery drainage is avoided if the device is left in storage or is not being used for an extended period of time.

    Abstract: Subject matter disclosed herein may generally relate to docking systems, and more particularly, to docking systems for portable computing devices such as, for example, tablet computing devices. The docking system may include (1) an enclosure for the portable computing device and (2) a base, where the enclosure can be docked to the base. A communication channel can be established between the portable computing device and the base via the enclosure and an electrical connection that exists when the enclosure is docked with the base. Through the communication channel, data such as credential data can be passed from the portable computing device to the base. The base can control whether the enclosure is permitted to be undocked from the base based on this credential data.

    Abstract: Methods and system are directed to wireless and non-conductive transfers of power and data to electronic devices. The methods and systems can be implemented in retail security products, such merchandising display assembly for displaying devices such as smart phones, tablets, digital cameras, and wearables. In one aspect, a merchandising display assembly may include a wireless power transfer capability and a wireless data transfer capability. An electronic device may interface directly with the base position assembly or via an intermediary assembly. The interface may be accomplished without an electrical cable to transmit power and data from the base position assembly to the electronic device.
