Publication number: 20140273853Abstract: Docked devices communicate wirelessly and in close proximity using multiple transmitters of Extremely High-Frequency (EHF) signals of 30-300 GHz. The devices may not be precisely aligned when docked. Tolerance of misalignment is improved by adding barriers such as solid metal blocks or rows of metal-filled vias that have a spacing of less than one-quarter the EHF wavelength. The barriers reflect EHF radiation and prevent EHF radiation from penetrating the barrier. Barriers placed between adjacent transmitters and receivers block stray electromagnetic radiation from causing cross-talk. The barriers can be placed closer to the transmitters than to the receivers to allow for a wider area for reception, permitting a wider misalignment. EHF reflecting features such as ground planes spaced a quarter-wavelength apart may be added to an end of a substrate near a connecting edge to act as a barrier and reflect electromagnetic radiation back toward an intended receiver.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 13, 2014Publication date: September 18, 2014Applicant: WAVECONNEX, INC.Inventors: Roger Isaac, Gary Davis McCormack, Ian A.

Publication number: 20140281534Abstract: A communication device employs a contactless secure communication interface to transmit and receive data with a computing device using close proximity extremely high frequency (EHF) communication. The communication device and the computing device periodically initiate a discovery operation mode, whereby the devices periodically transmit identifying information about the respective devices and listen for identifying information from the other device. Upon completion of the discovery mode operation, the devices enter a link-training operation mode and exchange capability information about the respective devices. During transport mode operation the communication device employs methods to manage access to data stored on the communication device by encrypting the data using one or a combination of training information or capability information as a basis for generating an encryption key.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 19, 2013Publication date: September 18, 2014Applicant: WaveConnex, Inc.Inventors: Gary Davis McCormack, Ian A.

Publication number: 20100192332Abstract: A conventional zipper is the preferred means for closure of many jackets and other outerwear. Conventional zippers are prone to jamming and snagging due to the introduction of the liner into the slider body as the zipper is opened and closed.
