Patent number: 8610833Abstract: Techniques involving the reception of content are disclosed. For example, an apparatus may include a tuning detection module, a channel selection module, and a remote tuning module. The tuning detection module determines a local tuning of a user device. This determination may be made from a leakage signal (e.g., local oscillator (LO) leakage) generated by the user device. Based on the determined local tuning, the channel selection module selects an output channel from a remote digital tuner. The output channel may then be tuned by the remote tuning module for reception by the user device at its local tuning.Type: GrantFiled: April 30, 2012Date of Patent: December 17, 2013Assignee: Intel CorporationInventor: Joshua D. Posamentier

Patent number: 8502650Abstract: A radio frequency identification (RFID) tag may have a non-responsive mode, triggered by a command from an RFID reader, that temporarily prevents the RFID tag from responding to a query from any RFID reader for a period of time. In some embodiments this non-responsive mode may automatically end after a certain period of time without further action by the RFID reader. In other embodiments this non-responsive mode may end when directed to by another command addressed specifically to the RFID tag.Type: GrantFiled: March 2, 2012Date of Patent: August 6, 2013Assignee: Intel CorporationInventors: Joshua D. Posamentier, Joshua R. Smith

Patent number: 7316509Abstract: An optical-electronic interface may include a circuit substrate, an electrical component mounted on the substrate, an optical component mounted off the substrate, and a flexible interconnect having a first end electrically connected to the optical component and second end electrically connected proximate to the optical component. The electrical component may include electrical leads and the circuit substrate may include electrically conductive traces connected to the electrical leads. The second end of the flexible interconnect may be electrically connected directly to the electrical leads of the electrical component or directly to the electrically conductive traces at a position located proximate to the electrical component.Type: GrantFiled: June 30, 2004Date of Patent: January 8, 2008Assignee: Intel CorporationInventor: Joshua D.

Patent number: 6895147Abstract: A prismatic tap assembly positioned over a vertical cavity surface emitting laser (VCSEL) redirects a small portion of a beam back to a light detector positioned adjacent to the VCSEL. The larger portion of the beam passes through the tap assembly and into, for example, an optical fiber. The light received by the light detector may be used to monitor the power output of the VCSEL and may be used for control purposes.Type: GrantFiled: June 26, 2003Date of Patent: May 17, 2005Assignee: Intel CorporationInventor: Joshua D.

Publication number: 20040264876Abstract: A small form factor (SSF) pluggable optical connector may be subject to wear damage when plugged and unplugged. A press-fit metal or ceramic sleeve is placed inside of the female receptacle to prevent the male portion of the connector, including a fiber optic tip, from making direct contact with the inner wall of the receptacle. Thus, the connector may be strengthened resulting in a connector that is more resistant to wear and further may prevent worn debris from fouling the tip of the optical fiber.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 30, 2003Publication date: December 30, 2004Inventor: Joshua D.
