Patent number: 11427097Abstract: Embodiments discussed herein refer to electric vehicle charging ports having integrated contactless communication units (CCUs). The electric vehicle charging ports include male and female connector assemblies that can be coupled together in a manner that enables consistent and reliable operation of contactless communications and power transfer. The connector integrates power and alignment such that when two connector assemblies are coupled together, power connections are made in combination with establishing contactless communications links between counterpart CCUs in both connector assemblies. The fixed alignment of the connector assemblies ensures that contactless communication channels, spanning between the connector assemblies, are aligned to enable consistent and reliable operation of contactless communications.Type: GrantFiled: September 30, 2019Date of Patent: August 30, 2022Assignee: Molex, LLCInventors: Roger D. Isaac, Alan Besel

Patent number: 10797371Abstract: Conduit structures for redirecting extremely high frequency (EHF) signals are disclosed herein. The conduit structures discussed herein are designed to re-direct EHF or RF signal energy from a first signal path to a second signal path. The conduit structures according to embodiments discussed herein can re-direct the RF signal energy while simultaneously adhering to specified signaling characteristic of the RF signal and minimizing stray RF signal radiation within a device to support device-to-device contactless communications.Type: GrantFiled: April 4, 2019Date of Patent: October 6, 2020Assignee: KEYSSA SYSTEMS, INC.Inventors: Alan Besel, Eric Sweetman, Bojana Zivanovic

Patent number: 10720689Abstract: Conduit structures for guiding extremely high frequency (EHF) signals are disclosed herein. The conduit structures can include EHF containment channels that define EHF signal pathways through which EHF signal energy is directed. The conduit structures can minimize or eliminate crosstalk among adjacent paths within a device and across devices. Launch structures that interface with waveguides are also disclosed herein. Launch structures can control the EHF interface impedance between a contactless communication unit and the waveguide. Waveguide structures discussed herein are designed to provide maximum bandwidth with minimal jitter over a desired distance.Type: GrantFiled: November 20, 2017Date of Patent: July 21, 2020Assignee: KEYSSA SYSTEMS, INC.Inventors: James Gill Shook, Stephan Lang, Alan Besel, Dennis F. Rosenauer, Giriraj Mantrawadi, Eric Sweetman, Bojana Zivanovic, Srikanth Gondi
