Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure describe techniques for providing wireless power to passive (or non-beaconing) clients in ‘active beaconing’ multipath wireless power delivery environments. To facilitate these techniques, a calibration apparatus (or ‘beaconing wand’) and techniques for use thereof are described. In some embodiments, the calibration apparatus facilitates wireless power transfer from the wireless power transmission system to the passive client by establishing communications with the wireless power transmission system and/or the passive client and broadcasting surrogate beacon signals when proximate to the passive client.

Abstract: A system is provided for use in a printer, the system including a media width sensor which is configured to sense the presence of media at a predetermined transverse position within the media path. By sensing media at such predetermined transverse position, it is possible to determine media width, and thus to identify media type. Correspondingly, it is possible to adapt media handling to address particular characteristics of the media, namely, thickness of the media and width of the media sheets.

Abstract: An active matrix electroluminescent device that includes a plurality of layers. A rearwardly disposed support layer supports the plurality of layers and an interface circuit. The interface circuit is electrically connected to row and column drivers by a plurality of first electrical lines. The drivers are electrically connected to the plurality of layers so as to enable pixels within the electroluminescent device to be selected. An interface controller is remotely located from the support layer and is electrically connected to the interface circuit by at least one second electrical line so as to indicate which pixels within the device to illuminate. The number of first electrical lines is greater than the number of the at least one second electrical line. In another embodiment of the present invention, the number of lines required to interconnect a passive thin film electroluminescent device with an interface controller can in a similar manner be reduced by including an interface circuit.
