A USB Charging Station For Customers

Universal USB Charging Solutions for Public and Business Environments

In response to the growing number of portable devices we carry—tablets, Chromebooks, phones, MP3 players, and even 3D glasses—Saelig Unique Electronics has released a product designed to keep everything powered while ensuring safe charging for each individual device.

USB charging station device

The Cambrionix U16S Universal USB Charging Board supports charging for up to 16 USB 2.0 devices simultaneously at manufacturer-approved speeds, with each port providing up to 2.1A. Compatible with both Mac and Windows environments, the U16S is well-suited for schools, restaurants, airports, or any setting where offering a convenient and reliable charging station could enhance customer service.

This solution also integrates with LCD or LED displays, providing users with real-time feedback on battery status, time remaining, and current draw (in Amperes) for each connected device. Through its included LiveViewer software, administrators can monitor which ports are active, how much energy each device consumes, and even enable or disable ports remotely to prevent unauthorized use outside of permitted hours.

Overall, the U16S is a practical charging utility for public facilities and can even prove useful in homes with multiple devices needing simultaneous power. More details can be found in Saelig’s official press release and on their website: https://www.saelig.com/.

For comparison, some products go beyond charging alone. The PC-Based Duplicators from Nexcopy not only charge but also manage data transfer between devices and computers. Supporting up to 20 USB 2.0 devices or 16 USB 3.0 devices, the USB200Pro handles advanced controller-level functions such as creating and writing partitions, enabling USB write protection, and even producing Copy Secure drives—media that prevents unauthorized copying, relocation, or deletion of data while still allowing full viewing access.

As flash media and USB devices continue to grow in use across professional and consumer settings, solutions like these—whether charging stations or advanced duplication tools—are becoming increasingly essential. Staying informed on the latest products ensures that businesses, schools, and public venues select the right tools for both customer convenience and organizational security.

Save USB Drives As An Image

Nexcopy Expands USB Scrub with Free Image Creation Tool

Nexcopy Inc., a leading manufacturer of USB duplicators and printers, has introduced a new image creation tool designed to make exact copies of master flash devices. This new functionality is an add-on to Nexcopy’s already popular USB Scrub utility, which was originally developed to remove old registry entries of mass storage devices in Windows 32-bit and 64-bit operating systems. The addition allows users to create binary image files of USB flash drives, hard drives, and other mass storage devices, producing an archival copy that mirrors the original device at the lowest possible level.

Nexcopy CopySecure image file creation

Cyrus Riahi, Marketing Manager for Nexcopy, explains: “The utility is a binary process which captures boot code, partition table size, and file structure to create an exact copy of any mass storage device.” He adds, “The feature is a new addition to the USB Scrub software which cleans old registry entries to provide better performance from the host computer with relation to USB devices.”

The Nexcopy imaging feature is ideal for creating archival copies of bootable flash drives. The resultant file type is the industry-standard .img, making it compatible with Nexcopy’s PC-based USB duplicators and suitable for duplicating content to hundreds or thousands of drives. Because the utility works at the binary level, it is file system agnostic—handling Mac HFS, Linux distributions, Windows FAT and NTFS with equal ease.

There are some considerations: files larger than 4GB must be saved to an NTFS or exFAT partition because FAT32 cannot support single files that size. The tool also gives users control over when to stop the imaging process. It can capture an entire device, or stop at the end of valid data clusters, producing smaller image files that save time and storage space.

The software isn’t limited to USB flash drives. It can also create images of SD cards, CompactFlash, and microSD media, with no restriction beyond the host system’s storage capabilities.

The imaging utility is free to download at:

The AlphaGo AI VS. The Strongest Go Player in the World

It’s over 2500 years old and the rules are deceptively simple, but Go is an incredibly complex game. The rules are simpler than those of chess, but a player typically has a much more vast choice of moves. The game is played with white and black stones and the aim is to capture territory as well as your opponent’s pieces. Stones can be captured by surrounding them but the control of the board is a much more complicated matter which is why a true competitive AI has been rather difficult to create. In a landmark victory against the European champion in October it was proven that the efforts of the DeepMind team and subsequently Google’s efforts on the AlphaGo project had found success in what had been thought impossible since the early years of computing.
