  • Patent number: 8461719
    Abstract: Described herein are improved capabilities for a source resonator having a Q-factor Q1>100 and a characteristic size x1 coupled to an energy source, and a second resonator having a Q-factor Q2>100 and a characteristic size x2 coupled to an energy drain located a distance D from the source resonator, where the source resonator and the second resonator are coupled to exchange energy wirelessly among the source resonator and the second resonator.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 6118807
    Abstract: A delay diversity processor for use in receiving direct sequence spread spectrum data utilizes multipath signals to enhance bit synchronization performance by integrating the magnitude of each multipath signal to allow for erratic fluctuations in the multipath signal. As a result, the receiver is less prone to sudden signal strength variation that might trigger erroneous bit resynchronization. The delay diversity processor comprises a first circuit which determines a magnitude value for each of a plurality of correlated signal samples of individual data bits of plural data streams of the received spread spectrum data. A second circuit integrates each of the magnitude values over a period of time corresponding to receipt of a plurality of the individual data bits. The integrated magnitude values provide a measure of confidence of a particular one of the correlated signal samples with respect to remaining ones of the correlated signal samples.
