  • Patent number: 12136964
    Abstract: A method for wirelessly coupling respective transducers of an automated motion platform and a sub-surface sensor node through a skin of a limited-access structure for the purpose of wireless power and data transfer. Coordinates of an as-designed position of the transducer of the sensor node in a local coordinate system of the limited-access structure are retrieved from a non-transitory tangible computer-readable storage medium. Then coordinates of a target position on an external surface of the skin of the limited-access structure are estimated. The target position is calculated to be aligned with the as-designed position of the transducer of the sensor node. The motion platform is moved under computer control so that the transducer onboard the motion platform moves toward the target position. Movement ceases when the transducer onboard the motion platform is at the target position. Then wave energy is transferred between the aligned transducers.

  • Patent number: 12057896
    Abstract: Systems and methods for sensing and tracing proximity contacts use a magnetic field detection or coupling technology where the detection range between proximate devices may be accurately determined. The detection range may be accurately determined, for example, by generating and detecting a defined magnetic field range and/or by measurement of the received magnetic field strength and direction within an undefined magnetic field range. Proximity sensing devices perform a proximity magnetic field detection when located within a defined, generated magnetic field during a proximity contact interaction with another device that is generating a magnetic field. The magnetic fields generated and detected are generated to behave as quasistatic fields, in contrast to radios that generate and detect radiated, dynamic, electro-magnetic fields.

  • Patent number: 12047124
    Abstract: Disclosed are techniques for handling of radio frequency (RF) front-end group delays for roundtrip time (RTT) estimation. In an aspect, a network node transmits first and second RTT measurement (RTTM) signals to a user equipment (UE) and receives first and second RTT response (RTTR) signals from the UE. The network node measures the transmission times of the RTTM signals and the reception times of the RTTR signals, and the UE measures the transmission times the RTTM signals and the transmission times of the RTTR signals. The group delays of the transmit/receive chains of the network node and the UE are determined for one set of transmit/receive chains based on the first RTTM signal and first RTTR signal. The group delays of the transmit/receive chain used for the second RTTM signal and the second RTTR signal are determined relative to the group delay of the one set of transmit/receive chains.
