Patent number: 10693320Abstract: Examples of wireless charging of a computing system are described herein. In an example, a charging notification from a power transmit unit (PTU) in a power transfer field of the computing system may be received. In response to receiving the charging notification, it may be ascertained whether a near field communication (NFC) component of the computing system is in an active state for data communication. When the NFC component is in the active state, an input may be provided to switch the active state of the NFC component to an inactive state for disabling data communication through the NFC component.Type: GrantFiled: July 29, 2016Date of Patent: June 23, 2020Assignee: Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P.Inventors: Han-Kuang Chang, YK Hsieh, Chung-Chun Chen, Mark Feng, David Hsieh, Ming-Shien Tsai

Publication number: 20150355098Abstract: A method for measuring nonlinear Electromagnetic (EM) radiation emitted by a material, comprising rotating a beam of EM radiation to form a rotating beam; irradiating a surface of a material with the rotating beam at an oblique angle with respect to the surface, wherein the rotating irradiates a plurality of scattering planes in the material; and detecting nonlinear radiation emitted by the material in response to the rotating beam, such that the nonlinear radiation generated by each of the scattering planes is detected by the detector. This method opens the possibility of applying nonlinear optics as a probe of lattice and electronic symmetries on small bulk single crystals in ultra low temperature, high magnetic field or high pressure environments, which can greatly complement diffraction based techniques.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 6, 2015Publication date: December 10, 2015Inventors: David Hsieh, Darius H.
