A U.S. patent was received by two Cypress men for the creation of a new system that charges electronic devices. The men and their research partner have developed this device for Hewlett-Packard.

The patent is for for electronic devices that do not use a docking station to connect to a computer. A computer card or express card is used to power the devices. The card also serves as a connection for peripheral devices such as a mouse speakers or optical sensor. The device creatively eliminates the hassle of having to worry about multiple power sources and interfaces.

The inventors are listed as Paul J. Doczy and Jonathan R. Harris of Cypress. Steven S. Homer of Tomball was also included in the patent. HP owns the patent that was originally filed on July 30 of 2007.

HP’s international headquarters are located in Palo Alto, California. The Houston HP office is located in Cy-Fair serves as the nerve center of its U.S. Division.
