Abstract: A Planar Inverted-F Wing Antenna (PIFWA) device, system, and method used for commercial and residential induction cooking tops, ovens, combo-steamers, and pressure cookers. The outline of the PIFWA is an isosceles triangle with a truncated vertex end opposite the base side. The PIFWA transmits and receives (TX/RX) signals with wireless sensors including Surface Acoustic Wave (SAW) devices. The antenna comprises a device, system, and method to monitor the cooking process and temperature of food. Embodiments of the PIFWA antenna operate at about 433 MHz, have a feed between two slots, and a shorting plate at the opposing end. Antenna location and alignment within the culinary appliance provides uniform signal strength and gain performance in the regions occupied by one or more sensors.

Abstract: A system and method to calibrate a temperature probe through immersion in a substance of known change of state temperature. The saturated Surface Acoustic Wave (SAW) probe temperature signal is calculated, overcoming oven reference temperature variability.

Abstract: A wireless sensor device, system and method includes a handle/antenna component and probe shaft sensor. A spiralpole loop antenna interfaces with a probe shaft comprising electrical connection to a surface acoustic wave (SAW) sensor device for wireless temperature sensing. Applications include monitoring the internal temperature of the contents of ovens.

Abstract: An integrated package provides contactless communication through a coupling mechanism embedded in the package. Package types include Surface Mount Technology (SMT), Low Temperature Co-fired Ceramic (LTCC) technology, and dual-in-line integrated circuit pressed ceramic packages generally. The package can include an acoustic wave device (AWD) sensor such as a surface acoustic wave (SAW) device or a bulk acoustic wave (BAW) device. Coupling includes inductive and capacitive effects through plates, loops, spirals, and coils. Coil inductance and SAW capacitance can be parallel resonant at the desired SAW resonance with the coil impedance higher than the SAW impedance, minimizing load-pull effects.

Abstract: An acoustic wave sensor employs an electromagnetic device (EMD) to transduce and amplify the response of an impedance element to a physical measurand. A measurand is defined as a physical parameter being quantified by measurement. One embodiment uses a magnetic field sensor employing a microelectromechanical system (MEMS) capacitor to affect a change in the response of a SAW filter.
