Abstract
A cradle casing has a DC/DC adapter to receive DC power from a DC power source and generate a first DC power signal. A sleeve accepts an AC/DC adapter, and guides movement of the AC/DC adapter when the AC/DC adapter is inserted into the cradle casing. The AC/DC adapter is capable of receiving AC power from an AC power source and generating a second DC power signal. A circuit receives at least one of the first DC power signal and the second DC power signal and outputs a third DC power signal.

1-16. (canceled)
A cradle casing, comprising:
- a DC/DC adapter to receive DC power from a DC power source and generate a first DC power signal;
- a storage area to accept an AC/DC adapter when the AC/DC adapter is inserted into the cradle casing, the AC/DC adapter being capable of receiving AC power from an AC power source when inserted into the cradle casing and generating a second DC power signal;
- a circuit to receive at least one of the first DC power signal and the second DC power signal and to output a third DC power signal.
The cradle casing according to claim 20, wherein the output cable is stored within an output cable storage device.
26-32. (canceled)
A cradle casing, comprising:
- a storage area to accept an adapter when the adapter is inserted into the cradle casing, the adapter being capable of receiving power from a power source and generating a DC power signal;
- an output cable to provide the DC power signal to an electronic device;
- a mating device to electrically couple the adapter to the cradle casing;
- a first regulation device to generate a first DC output voltage of the DC power signal;
- and
- a routing circuit to receive a first programming signal, to output the first programming signal to the regulation device to set the first DC output voltage.
