  • Patent number: 12283745
    Abstract: A transparent combination antenna is disclosed that provides bandwidth at both sub 6 GHz and the above 24 GHz spectra. For example, the transparent combination antenna can include a first layer of transparent conductive material, and a second layer of transparent conductive material. In some implementations, both of the first layer and the second layer can have different pitches. Additionally, in some implementations, a substrate may be positioned in between the first layer and the second layer. Various other systems are also disclosed.

  • Publication number: 20240250432
    Abstract: The disclosed antenna device may include a substrate and a uniplanar transparent conductive material on the substrate. The uniplanar transparent conductive material may include an active segment, a capacitive active segment to capacitively feed the active segment and separated from the active segment by a dummy segment, and a tuning active segment configured with dimensions to create a substantially 90-degree phase difference between electric field components of two edges the active segment when the antenna device resonates at a desired frequency. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.

  • Publication number: 20240178552
    Abstract: The disclosed apparatus may include a transparent NFC antenna that includes a transparent portion and a non-transparent portion. The transparent NFC antenna improves the radiation efficiency of standard NFC antennas by including a transparent conducting film such as metal mesh in the transparent portion, and metalized film in the non-transparent portion. The metalized film can extend along a narrow width of the perimeter of the transparent portion. In one implementation, the transparent NFC antenna can be incorporated into a touch-enabled display panel of a wrist-wearable device without interfering with the usability or viewability of the touch-enabled display panel. Various other implementations are also disclosed.

  • Publication number: 20240176135
    Abstract: A display system may include a light source and a waveguide coupler configured to couple light from the light source. A waveguide coupler may include an in-coupling region and an out-coupling region having a plurality of multiplexed volumetric Bragg gratings. A computer-implemented method may include measuring from different angles, by at least one processor and using an imaging technique, skin hair coverage in a skin surface region of a user. Another computer-implemented method may include identifying and mitigating potentially harmful messages in public forums. A further computer-implemented method may include receiving, by at least one processor, imaging results from at least one imaging device. A system may include a substrate and a transparent conductive material applied to the substrate in a specified pattern that forms an antenna. Various other devices, systems, and methods are also disclosed.

  • Publication number: 20240162623
    Abstract: The disclosed apparatus may include an antenna radiating structure that includes an active transparent mesh portion as well as a non-transparent antenna radiator portion. By combining transparent metal mesh and non-transparent metallic film into the antenna radiating structure, the disclosed apparatus results in improved radiation efficiency. Moreover, when overlaid on a transparent lens (such as with a pair of augmented reality glasses), the antenna radiating structure leaves the optical transparency of the lens largely unaffected due to the placement of the non-transparent metallic film. Various other implementations are also disclosed.
