Patent number: 9581625Abstract: The present invention is directed to an RFID device. The RFID device includes a brace affixed to an inductor or capacitor. The brace is constructed from a material structurally responsive to a predetermined stimulus, such that stimulus-responsive structural alterations to the brace structurally alters the inductor, capacitor, or other RFID subcomponent of the RFID circuit capable of generating a current alteration, which in turn alters the signal frequency of the RFID.Type: GrantFiled: April 27, 2015Date of Patent: February 28, 2017Assignee: U.S. Photonics, Inc.Inventors: Jacob Conner, Ryan Giedd

Patent number: 9102523Abstract: The present invention includes an electron-discharge signal system with a supercharged electron source and process therefor. The system may be any signal modification unit such as a klystron, magnetron, traveling wave tube, etc. The system includes a heat-responsive electron source, supercharger, collector, a wave modification assembly, and a bleeder module. The electron source discharges an electron beam along a predetermined electron path. The supercharger heats the electron source upon absorption of electromagnetic radiation of a predetermined signal characteristic redirected by the system. The bleeder module redirects a portion of the system's output signal to the supercharger, which heats in response thereto. In other embodiments, the system may be operated entirely by electromagnetic radiation from a freestanding signal source.Type: GrantFiled: September 17, 2012Date of Patent: August 11, 2015Assignee: U.S. Photonics, Inc.Inventors: Jacob Conner, Ryan Giedd
