  • Publication number: 20160301259
    Abstract: The disclosed system utilizes multiple wireless power receivers (antennas and or paths) for receiving power. The disclosed system includes a chip, such as an application specific chip (ASICs) connectable to multiple antennas and units to convert radio frequency (RF) power into direct current (DC) power. The disclosed system can also include antennas that are used to receiving power, communicate, and send a beacon signal. The disclosed system also comprises a mobile electronic device to receive wireless power using multiple antennas connected or coupled to multiple wireless power receivers.

  • Publication number: 20160127012
    Abstract: Techniques are described herein for filtering and/or otherwise isolating or extracting components of multi-component signals. More specifically, embodiments of the present disclosure describe techniques for filtering and/or otherwise extracting a continuous wave component (or wireless power component) and a modulated data component from a multi-component signal. In some embodiments, the techniques describe systems, apparatuses and methods for filtering and/or otherwise isolating or extracting a frequency (e.g., modulated data component) from a continuous wave (e.g., wireless power component) without affecting the levels of other frequencies. The individual components or signals can be transmitted by one or more sources and received at one or more existing antennas of an electronic device simultaneously.

  • Patent number: 5991960
    Abstract: A clean wipe device for cleaning an optical surface, like the cover glass on a charge coupled device (CCD) imager surface, and the method to make the same, comprises an elongated support, an absorbent swab attached to an end of the elongated support, and a cleaning element. The cleaning element is secured to the end of the support so as to cover the swab and to present an elongated side as a broad cleaning surface. In addition, the elongated side extends between two acute angle end sections of the cleaning element, thus presenting two corner cleaning surfaces to the optical surface.
