  • Antenna gain enhancement using frequency selective surface
    Patent number: 12244062
    Abstract: A method of using an antenna system, comprising a transducer that is configured to transduce between wireless signals and wired signals and that is disposed between a ground conductor and a frequency selective surface, includes: providing constructive interference between a first signal of a first frequency and a reflected first signal comprising a reflection of a portion of the first signal by the frequency selective surface and the ground conductor; and providing constructive interference between a second signal of a second frequency, different from the first frequency, and a reflected second signal comprising a reflection of a portion of the second signal by the frequency selective surface and the ground conductor.
    Type: Grant

  • Mobile device positioner and configurable mobile device holder
    Patent number: 11770149
    Abstract: A mobile device holder that includes a body having a plurality of cavities. The mobile device holder includes a first assembly, a second assembly, and a third assembly. The first assembly is coupled to the body. The first assembly is configurable to be coupled to different portions of the body. The first assembly includes a first arm configured to be coupled to the body, a first slider coupled to the first arm, where the first slider is configured to move along the first arm, a first cap coupled to the first arm, and a first screw coupled to the first cap, where the first screw is configured to move the first slider along the first arm and towards the body.
