  • Patent number: 11276915
    Abstract: Embodiments include apparatuses, methods, and systems including an electronic apparatus having a configurable sector cavity antenna integrated into a PCB. The configurable sector cavity antenna may include a first panel embedded within a first layer of the PCB along an edge of the first layer, and a second panel embedded within a second layer of the PCB along an edge of the second layer. The configurable sector cavity antenna may further include a fixed via wall to couple the first panel and the second panel along an inner edge of the first panel and the inner edge of the second panel, and a switchable via wall to selectively couple multiple interior points of the first panel and multiple interior points of the second panel.

  • Patent number: 10879596
    Abstract: Embodiments include apparatuses, methods, and systems for an antenna for a wearable device that includes a bezel on the wearable device to include a conductive circuit path to transmit and receive radiofrequency (RF) signals to and from the wearable device. In some embodiments, the bezel may be formed of a substantially conductive material to form the conductive circuit path. In other embodiments the bezel may be formed of a substantially non-conductive material and may include a conductive antenna pattern located on a surface of the bezel to form the conductive circuit path. Other embodiments may also be described and claimed.

  • Publication number: 20160322853
    Abstract: The disclosure relates to a method, apparatus and system to wirelessly charge a device. In one embodiment, the disclosure relates to a wireless charging station having a detector to identify presence of a device at or near the charging station that would otherwise be damaged by the magnetic field of the wireless charging station. The detector detects a response signal emitted from the device under charge and determines whether to generate the desired magnetic field to charge the device or to cease the magnetic field to preserve the device from potential damage caused by the magnetic field.
