摘要:
The present invention relates to electronic devices such as mobile devices, and methods of operating such devices. In one embodiment of the invention, the electronic device includes first and second temperature sensors positioned at different respective locations on the electronic device and at least one processing device. The first and second temperature sensors respectively output first and second signals indicative of the respective temperatures experienced at those respective sensors. The at least one processing device (i) receives the first and second signals respectively from the first and second temperature sensors respectively and generates based thereon an indication of a difference or a relationship between the first and second temperatures, and (ii) determines an operational context of the electronic device based at least in part upon the difference. In an additional embodiment, other sensor information from one or more other sensors is taken into account in determining the operational context.

摘要:
An inductive device (200) that includes a core (210) configured so as to be a closed loop and at least one coil (220) around the core, and methods for assembly. The coil is formed from a material having a cross-section with an aspect ratio of a first dimension to a second adjacent dimension, with the first dimension being longer than the second dimension, wherein the coil is positioned around the core such that the first dimension is essentially normal to the core. In one embodiment the core includes a removable core section to enable assembly of the inductive device by slidably placing the coil onto the core through an opening formed in the core by removing the core section. In another embodiment, the coil is rotated to cause it to wind around the core.
