Patent number: 11517283Abstract: The invention provides a magnetic inductive sensing device (30) comprising a loop antenna (10) for inductively coupling with electromagnetic (EM) signals emitted from a medium in response to stimulation of the medium with electromagnetic excitation signals. The device includes an electromagnetic shield (36) element which is arranged such as to intercept electromagnetic signals travelling to or from the antenna. The shield element is formed of conductive material such as to block electrical field components of incident signals but further incorporates a non-conductive gap in the material so as to prevent the formation of eddy currents. A loop of the antenna is broken by an opening, the opening being bridged by a capacitor, and the device comprises a signal processing means which is electrically coupled to the antenna via only a single point of the antenna, located to one side of the opening.Type: GrantFiled: January 2, 2018Date of Patent: December 6, 2022Assignee: Koninklijke Philips N.V.Inventors: Jacobus Josephus Leijssen, Gerardus Johannes Nicolaas Doodeman, Rick Bezemer, Mark Peter Paul Kleijnen, Wouter Herman Peeters

Patent number: 11490827Abstract: The invention provides a magnetic inductive sensing system for sensing electromagnetic signals emitted from a body in response to electromagnetic excitation signals applied to the body. The electromagnetic signals are generated and sensed by the same loop resonator which comprises a single-turn loop antenna and a tuning capacitor. The loop antenna of the resonator and a signal generation means for exciting the resonator to generate excitation signals are together configured so as to optimize the value of a ratio between the radial frequency of the generated electromagnetic excitation signals and a reference frequency of the antenna, where the reference frequency is the frequency for which one wavelength of the generated excitation signals (waves) matches the circumferential length of the antenna. This ratio, which corresponds to a normalized radial frequency of the generated excitation signals, is maintained between a value of 0.025 and 0.50.Type: GrantFiled: January 2, 2018Date of Patent: November 8, 2022Assignee: KONINKLIJKE PHILIPS N.V.Inventors: Wouter Herman Peeters, Mark Peter Paul Kleijnen, Gerardus Johannes Nicolaas Doodeman, Rick Bezemer, Jacobus Josephus Leijssen, Ronny Hubertus Johannes Grosfeld

Patent number: 9259592Abstract: The invention relates to an electronic apparatus (100) comprising a charging module (20) for receiving external energy (RF1) and for transferring it to a rechargeable energy storage (10) in a “charging state”. Moreover, the apparatus comprises a processing module which can be operated in a working state that is enabled if the charging module (20) is in the charging state and the apparatus is in a standard operating mode. The processing module may for example be a communication module (30) that can communicate wirelessly in its working state. In the standard operating mode, communication with the apparatus (100) is thus only possible if the apparatus (100) is simultaneously charged. The communication module (30) can therefore be completely switched off during the residual time, thus reducing power consumption and avoiding erroneous communication or misuse.Type: GrantFiled: September 17, 2009Date of Patent: February 16, 2016Assignee: KONINKLIJKE PHILIPS N.V.Inventors: Jacobus Josephus Leijssen, Hubert Cecile Francois Martens, Michael Marcel Jose Decre, Jeroen Jacob Arnold Tol
