  • Tunable metamaterials
    Patent number: 9369106
    Abstract: A metamaterial comprises a support medium, such as a planar dielectric substrate and a plurality of resonant circuits supported thereby. At least one resonant circuit is a tunable resonant circuit including a conducting pattern and a tunable material, so that an electromagnetic parameter (such as resonance frequency) may be adjusted using an electrical control signal applied to the tunable material.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: July 12, 2013
    Date of Patent: June 14, 2016
    Assignee: Toyota Motor Engineering & Manufacturing North America, Inc.
    Inventors: Serdar H. Yonak, Frederick W. Mau, II, Vinh N. Nguyen

  • MEDIA DEVICE WITH SPEECH RECOGNITION AND METHOD FOR USING SAME
    Publication number: 20080312935
    Abstract: A media player utilizing speech recognition software to perform functions of the media player or make file selections that may be played by the media player. The media player may include one or more microphones to receive a voice command from the user. The one or more microphones may be actuated into a state for receiving a voice command and providing the voice command to one or more microprocessors which perform a function based on the voice command.
