  • Patent number: 8831225
    Abstract: A device is disclosed including a security module to generate and update cryptographic keys to establish a secure relationship between the device and one or more station devices in a wireless video area network (WVAN) and a domain manager to maintain a list of the station devices that are authorized to operate in the WVAN.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: March 25, 2008
    Date of Patent: September 9, 2014
    Assignee: Silicon Image, Inc.
    Inventor: James P. K. Gilb
  • Patent number: 8155712
    Abstract: A radio frequency (RF) transmitter has a plurality of digitally controlled phased array antennas coupled to and controlled by the processor to transmit data. The processor is to enable one or more antennas to be turned off during a use of the apparatus to reduce a power consumption of the apparatus.

  • Patent number: 6440244
    Abstract: A synthetic magnetodielectric composite material for absorbing electromagnetic radiation has a sheet of fabric having first and second surfaces. The fabric is formed of an insulating material. Magnetically permeable thread is disposed within the fabric. The magnetically permeable thread comprises a material having a permeability substantially greater than the permeability of free space. The fabric is impregnated with resin. The magnetically permeable thread is configured to provide predetermined permittivity and permeability within a selected frequency range, so as to provide desired absorption/transmission of electromagnetic radiation.

  • Patent number: 6337125
    Abstract: A composite electromagnetic absorber provides increased EMR absorption while being thinner and/or lighter than prior art EMR absorbers. To accomplish this, synthetic dielectric materials are combined with either synthetic magnetic materials or magnetically lossy materials in such a way that the permittivity and permeability of the composite material are substantially matched over the desired range of frequency. The match in the permittivity and permeability allows the majority of the electromagnetic fields to enter the material where the electric and magnetic loss components absorb the electromagnetic energy.

  • Patent number: 5045819
    Abstract: A multilayer-multiconductor microstrip circuit having reduced dimensions and minimal pulse distortion and crosstalk for high-speed, high-density digital application is created utilizing a microstrip having a plurality of substrates, each having a preselected dielectric constant of a magnitude which, combined with the height of each substrate, produces effective dielectric constants of the independent propagating nodes which are substantially equal.
