Patents by Inventor Bernhard Theo Knoll

Bernhard Theo Knoll has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 8890749
    Abstract: One aspect of the invention relates to a transceiver device with a substrate with a layer of dielectric material with a relative permeability of greater than 1 and/or with a magnetic material with a relative magnetic permeability of greater than 1. An antenna is monolithically integrated in the substrate and/or in the layer, and the antenna is arranged for transmitting and for receiving signals. A circuit is monolithically integrated in the substrate which is coupled to the monolithically integrated antenna.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20070221841
    Abstract: A method and an apparatus is disclosed for two-dimensional profiling of doping profiles of a material sample with scanning capacitance microscope. A scanning of a two-dimensional structure of a dielectric or partially dielectric material sample with a tip of a probe of the scanning microscope is carried out. The change in capacitance during the scanning motion of the probe from one position on the material sample to the next is measured. Finally, an evaluation of the change in capacitance during the scanning motion of the probe from one position on the material sample to the next as a current is carried out.

  • Patent number: 7213769
    Abstract: A smart card having a support element, at least one electrically conductive contact-making element in a surface area of the support element, and at least one electrical circuit, which is on and/or in the support element, and is coupled to the at least one electrically conductive contact-making element. Microstructures and/or nanostructures are incorporated in the at least one electrically conductive contact-making element, of such a size that the microstructures and/or nanostructures absorb electromagnetic radiation at at least one wavelength.
