Abstract: A resonant wireless power receiver that includes an electromagnetic resonator having one or more inductive elements that are arranged to form a receiver coil and a network of passive components arranged to form a matching network. A rectifier circuit converts ac power from the electromagnetic resonator to dc power. An available-power indicator measures the rectified power to assess the instantaneous power available to the receiver.

Abstract: An integrated circuit is disclosed. The integrated circuit includes an amplifier and a capacitor array coupled to the amplifier. The capacitor array is configured to be coupled in parallel to an inductor that is external to the integrated circuit, and the capacitor array and the external inductor comprise a tank circuit. The integrated circuit includes a resistor array coupled in parallel with the capacitor array. The resistor array is utilized to provide an overall frequency response of the capacitor array and resistor array that is opposite of a frequency response of the external inductor over a predetermined frequency range.
Abstract: Embodiments for processing signals are disclosed. In one embodiment, a method includes receiving signals from at least two non-contiguous channels, where the at least two non-contiguous channels are within a predetermined bandwidth, and where each of the at least two non-contiguous channels has a center frequency. The method also includes utilizing an average of the center frequencies of the at least two non-contiguous channels to down convert the at least two non-contiguous channels to a combined intermediate frequency (IF) channel that has a center frequency that is an average of a difference between the center frequencies of the at least two non-contiguous channels. The method also includes down converting the combined IF channel to a combined channel at a baseband frequency. The method also includes recovering the at least two non-contiguous channels from the combined channel at a baseband frequency utilizing an upper sideband and lower sideband recovery mechanism.
Abstract: The invention provides a method for performing intra-prediction. A target pixel is selected from a plurality of pixels of a current block. A first intra-prediction mode of a left block and a second intra-prediction mode of an up block are then determined A first prediction value of the target pixel is calculated according to the first intra-prediction mode. A second prediction value of the target pixel is calculated according to the second intra-prediction mode. The first prediction value and the second prediction value are then weighted-averaged to obtain a weighted-average prediction value as an intra-prediction value of the target pixel.
