Pairyosi Unveils Nucleum 4-in-1 USB-C Hub

New Pairyosi 4 in 1 usb c hub

CES 2018 – Pairyosi has unveiled its latest USB-C docking station for notebooks, called Nucleum. This hub provides multiple ports for connecting up to 4 devices at once. In addition, it can deliver up to 60 watts of power over its USB-C cable.

For an in-depth look at USB-C, or Type-C, take a look at our feature article.

Nucleum Features

It’s important to note the Nucleum isn’t a Thunderbolt 3 (TB3) hub, although it certainly could be connected to a TB3 port. Thunderbolt is a high-speed connection that runs over a USB cable. The Nucleum instead supports USB 3.1. It doesn’t provide as much throughput as TB3, but it has enough to drive a single 4K monitor.

The Nucleum has the following ports:

4K HDMI Video Output
2x USB Type-A ports
Type-C port supporting pass-through charging
Premium Aluminum construction
Super slim and sleek design

The Nucleum is compact for a hub. The total weight is just 3.2 ounces. Thanks to all of its inbuilt ports, a device like this can mitigate or eliminate the need for dongles. We’re especially impressed that, Many of the new kind of notebooks we test no longer include USB 3.0 port. This is especially true if you have an ultra-thin notebook like the MacBook Pro. (That notebook has only USB-C ports, as a matter of fact.)

Bear in mind that not all USB-C ports are created equal. It’s not uncommon for a notebook to have a USB-C port with just USB 3.0 speeds. USB 3.1 speeds are considerably faster. If you’re not sure what your notebook has, ask in our forums!

Wireless charger car mount

How to choose a wireless car charger for your iPhone

You’re cutting one cord but adding another: The charger itself must have power, and that power comes from a cable that usually plugs into a USB port. It’s important to note that some charging pads, especially the cheaper ones, don’t come with a wall plug, meaning you’ll have to supply your own or plug the pad into your laptop or another powered port.

Some might say that’s a “cheat,” that this isn’t really wireless charging at all. Tomato, tomahto: There’s no longer a wire between your phone and the charger, so that part is wireless.

And if you want to cut the cord altogether, at least while you travel, there are mobile power-banks that have Qi charging capabilities.

How do I charge in my car?

It’s tricky, but not impossible. Some cars have Qi-compatible charging stations built in, which sounds ideal but may not be. Most of those stations reside down low, in the center console.

The ideal spot for a phone in a car is near or on top of the dashboard, where it’s close to eye level. (Actually, the ideal spot is in the glove compartment or anywhere else you won’t actually use it while driving. But that’s a lecture for another day.)

To accomplish that, you’ll need an aftermarket Qi car mount. As with regular mounts, these come in a variety of styles: vent mounts, windshield mounts and so on.

Other mounting options include a more traditional cradle (no magnets, just arms) like the one used by this Pairyosi car charger. Just take note that any Qi charger you install in your car will involve a cord running from the mount to the USB port or cigarette lighter.

How do I get ‘fast’ charging?

You don’t, not until Apple issues a software update, which is expected sometime before the end of the year. Even then, this is where things get a little confusing. Apple’s bundled wall plug delivers 5-watt charging via a Lightning cable. The aforementioned Belkin and Mophie pads can charge at 7.5 watts, but the new iPhones don’t yet support that rate. They will after the software update, and it’s possible they’ll be able to work with even higher-wattage chargers as the Qi specification supports up to 15 watts power delivery.

As for the charging pads and stands, not all of them specify their power output. So if you want a little future-proofing in the form of support for fast charging, choose one that explicitly states 10-watt (or better) output.

Of course, the pad on your nightstand doesn’t really need fast charging, so there it’s OK to go with low or unknown wattage.

Wireless charging gone crazy

Our development team has announced today the soon release of our new wireless charger. The Pairyosi‘s PY-WC wireless charger is a game changer. Although wireless chargers have been out there for a long time, many phone users weren’t happy with them. Which influenced some manufacturers to remove wireless charging from their new models. But, with the latest wireless charging standard, many manufacturers changed their mind.

Wireless chargers used to be either bulky or in cheap plastic form. On top of that, they weren’t as good as they should have been, in other words, they were slow charging at only with 200 ma – 500 ma. Your smartphone would take hours to charge. Besides that, it would have to be aligned perfectly for the charger to work. We changed all of that.

Why Double the power if we can triple it with PY-WC

The PY-WC wireless charger will deliver up to 1.3 Amps of power, which is enough to rapidly charge your smartphone. On top of that, you don’t have to 100 percent perfectly aligned it, it only needs to be 10 mm close.

Compactness mixed with stunning aesthetics

The PY-WC wireless charger will have a very small form factor. It is really light and ideal for travel, office, and home. Our designers have done a great job with perfecting the look.

Why you should move to wireless?

Wireless charging is today’s trend many big names in the smart gadgets business are pushing it in their products. Wireless charging helps to solve the cable compatibility issues as well as eliminating the overuse of cables and that can damage the phones connector. On top of that, many other manufacturers in the health and home electronics fields are moving to wireless charging too.

The PY-WC supports them all

The PY-WC supports a lot of devices including almost all the mobile phones with wireless charging, smart watches as well as tablets. We will release it sooner than you can imagine, stay tuned for new information.

Ensuring safety in wireless charging systems

As the wireless charging pioneer, Pairyosi has vast experience in developing and producing wireless charging systems. Pairyosi was the first to launch a wireless charging platform into the consumer and then the automotive markets and is a leading provider of technology to Mobile device manufacturers. Working with various industries over the years has brought huge value while allowing us to get to know the unique requirements of each market.

In an inductive wireless charging system, a changing current creates a magnetic field enabling energy to transfer from one coil to another. During this process, some of the energy is lost and is disposed in the form of heat. To ensure safety, Pairyosi has developed several measures that are implemented in the Pairyosi systems and products and have proved to produce high quality and safe products.

Here are some of our safety mechanisms and measures:

Foreign Object Detection: Our Charging Spot sends an analog ping to detect if there is anything on the surface. If the detection is positive, our Charging Spot will send a stronger digital boost in order to confirm if the object is a relevant device or a foreign object. Of course power will be transmitted only to relevant devices and not to foreign objects.
Over-voltage protection: Our Charging Spot includes a hardware based overvoltage protection mechanism, calibrated to accommodate normal operating conditions. Protection will be activated in case of abnormal conditions such as introduction of foreign objects, extreme load on the receiver or any internal circuit faults.
Overcurrent protection: Our Charging Spot includes an overcurrent protection mechanism with a dynamic threshold, which automatically adjusts itself according to the protocol being used.
Power regulator: Our Charging Spot communicates with the receiver, and in case there is a large discrepancy between the transmitted and received power, the Charging Spot will decrease or stop the power transmission. This prevents unnecessary power transmitting to foreign objects or transmission of high voltage to a receiver that isn’t capable of accepting it.
System calibration: During production, our Charging Spots are calibrated to detect foreign objects. The Charging Spots are configured with calibration parameters relevant to their resonant curve properties. The calibration will be tested with each engagement, and the Charging Spot will cease charging if parameters are not aligned.
