Are You Missing a Power Brick?

When we returned from a trip to Conclave in Detroit on 9 October, K found she had an unfamiliar device in her briefcase:

I think OEM is a company that specialises in replacement power packs for computers, I've seen their power packs several times on refurbished laptops etc.

Wasn't there a company called "Factory Air" so dealers could tell people their cars had Factory Air?
