  • Patent number: 10546226
    Abstract: A feedback control system for RFID assembly production. The control system can include a measurement system and a control system. The measurement system may take measurements of one or more electrical properties of an RFID chip assembly, for example an RFID strap or RFID antenna. The measurement system may then communicate to the control system to adjust one or more parameters affecting the electrical properties. Once the desired set of electrical properties is achieved, the chip assembly may be cured. The feedback control system may be implemented dynamically, either for precision assembly of individual chip assemblies or in batch for controlling the average properties of assemblies on a rolling production line. The feedback control system can also be implemented in a step-wise fashion and be used to collect data and iteratively self-improve.

  • Patent number: 10544960
    Abstract: A system for securing an air conditioning unit to a building without the need for any alteration and/or damage to the building itself. The system includes a cross bar, an air conditioning unit support, and a strut. The arrangement of the components results in the cross bar applying an outward force to an interior surface of the building and strut applying an inward force to an exterior surface of the building in response to the downward force exerted on the air conditioning unit support. The sum of the forces applied on the surfaces of the building is sufficient to secure the air conditioning unit to the building.

  • Patent number: 10542890
    Abstract: An example magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) coil base apparatus for use with interchangeable attachable and detachable coil attachments is described. The coil base apparatus electrically and mechanically couples to different MRI coil attachments designed for imaging different body parts (e.g., ankles, knees, wrists, elbows, shoulders). The MRI coil base apparatus includes elements (e.g., channel, pre-amplifier, mixer, feed circuit, decoupling circuit) for controlling the coil attachment to transmit radio frequency (RF) energy that produces nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) in an object exposed to the RF energy. The coil attachment includes elements that transmit the RF energy and a copper trace that receives resulting NMR signals. The coil base apparatus may include a slide apparatus for repositioning the coil attachment in one axis when the coil attachment is coupled to the coil base apparatus or a pivot apparatus for rotating the coil attachment when it is coupled to the coil base apparatus.
