Publication number: 20220069448Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure relate to methods, apparatus, and systems for mitigating signal attenuation at a body-worn device transmitting a radio signal. An antenna structure for the body-worn device includes an antenna array configured to radiate at least one radio signal and a conductive band capacitively coupled to the antenna array. The conductive band is configured to detachably couple to a body of a user, and mitigate attenuation of the at least one radio signal when the conductive band is coupled to the body. The conductive band mitigates the attenuation by facilitating a radio frequency (RF) signal current corresponding to the at least one radio signal to flow through the conductive band and preventing absorption of the RF signal current by the body.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 24, 2021Publication date: March 3, 2022Inventors: Wei Cheng YEH, Rachel Elise RODGERS, Jason Arthur GILL, Sam James DEANE, Eric James BIEL, Charles Edward GREENE

Patent number: 10924832Abstract: A combined light and loudspeaker driver device comprising a housing supporting a loudspeaker driver, a heat removal element, electronic components and a light source. The heat removal element includes a column extending along a central longitudinal axis to a base of the housing, to meet a heat sink formed around the central longitudinal axis to the rear of the housing. The light source provides task lighting and is a heat source. It is mounted on a front end of the column distal from the heat sink at the base of the housing, to optimize conduction of heat away from the light source. The housing is generally cup shaped and has side walls. The interior of the side walls is parallel with the central longitudinal axis of the housing over the majority of the rearward depth thereof resulting in a large void behind the loudspeaker diaphragm, leading to improved sound.Type: GrantFiled: December 21, 2018Date of Patent: February 16, 2021Assignee: Zuma Array LimitedInventors: Susan Cook, Steve Kelly, Morten Warren, Sam James, Seongmin Hwang

Publication number: 20190374285Abstract: An energy conveying structure for invasive electrosurgery that provide for combined delivery of (i) RF or microwave electromagnetic energy for tissue treatment (e.g. ablation, coagulation or cutting), and (ii) optical radiation within a common structure that may form an instrument cable of a surgical scoping device. The structure resembles a hollow coaxial transmission line with an optical channel formed within it. The optical channel can lie within a passage that is formed within the inner conductive layer or within other layers of the coaxial transmission. The structure may be used to form an electrosurgical device capable of delivering RF/microwave EM energy, optical radiation and ultrasonic signals to a treatment site along an instrument cable of a surgical scoping device.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 29, 2018Publication date: December 12, 2019Inventors: Christopher Paul HANCOCK, Shaun PRESTON, William TAPLIN, Sam JAMES, George ULLRICH, David WEBB
