Patent number: 11013057Abstract: Embodiments discussed herein refer to systems, methods, and circuits for establishing EHF contactless communications links. The EHF contactless communication link may serve as an alternative to conventional board-to-board and device-to-device connectors. The link may be a low-latency protocol-transparent communication link capable of supporting a range of data rates. The link may be established through a close proximity coupling between devices, each including at least one EHF communication unit. Each EHF unit involved in establishing an EHF communication link may progress through a series of steps before data can be transferred between the devices. These steps may be controlled by one or more state machines that are being implemented in each EHF communication unit.Type: GrantFiled: June 7, 2019Date of Patent: May 18, 2021Assignee: KEYSSA, INC.Inventors: Ian A. Kyles, Kenneth R. Kveton, Michael A. Bourdess, John Wolcott, Steve Novak, Roger D. Isaac, Gary D. McCormack

Patent number: 10405316Abstract: Embodiments discussed herein refer to systems, methods, and circuits for locating obfuscated EHF contactless connectors so that a contactless communication link can be established between two devices. When connector interfaces are not readily ascertainable, a user may rely on the location embodiments discussed herein to quickly and correctly orient his or her device with respect to another device to establish the contactless communication link.Type: GrantFiled: October 19, 2015Date of Patent: September 3, 2019Assignee: KEYSSA SYSTEMS, INC.Inventors: Theo Kersjes, John Wolcott
