Publication number: 20240103380Abstract: The present disclosure relates to systems and methods relating to the fabrication of light guide elements. An example system includes an optical component configured to direct light emitted by a light source to illuminate a photoresist material at one or more desired angles so as to expose an angled structure in the photoresist material. The photoresist material overlays at least a portion of a first surface of a substrate. The optical component includes a container containing a light-coupling material that is selected based in part on the one or more desired angles. The system also includes a reflective surface arranged to reflect at least a first portion of the emitted light to illuminate the photoresist material at the one or more desired angles.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 1, 2023Publication date: March 28, 2024Inventors: James Dunphy, David Hutchison

Patent number: 10376218Abstract: A device for gathering data has first and second electrodes. The first electrode is coupled to a surface of interest, and the second electrode is coupled to “everything else” or “the air”. The first electrode is shielded from the second, and from most sources of parasitic capacitance, by a shield that is driven by an active driver that drives the shield to track, and ideally to match, the instantaneous potential of the electrode. The second electrode is likewise shielded in a similar way from most sources of parasitic capacitance. These shields likewise help to limit the extent to which RFI from the device electronics couples with either of the electrodes. In this way the sensing device achieves a markedly better signal-to-noise ratio at frequency bands of interest.Type: GrantFiled: March 11, 2015Date of Patent: August 13, 2019Assignee: PROTEUS DIGITAL HEALTH, INC.Inventors: Mark Zdeblick, James Hutchison, Lawrence Arne

Patent number: 9305154Abstract: A device may request, and a server may provide, access to information associated with an image based on trusted face recognition. The server may receive a first image, registration, and associated information from a first device. The first image may include feature data, which the server may extract to create a first feature template. The server may store, and correlate, the first feature template, registration and associated information for the first image. A second device may extract feature data from a second image, create, and provide to the server, a second feature template. The server may authenticate the second device. The server may compare the second feature template with stored feature templates to identify a match. The server may determine whether to share associated information for a match with, and return an access indication to, the second device based, in part, on the authentication.Type: GrantFiled: March 15, 2013Date of Patent: April 5, 2016Assignee: QUALCOMM IncorporatedInventors: James A.

Patent number: 9042889Abstract: Methods and apparatuses are provided that facilitate avoiding one or more wireless communication systems based at least in part on determining a level of unreliability of a reverse link channel related to a system. This can be based at least in part on determining whether the system can be accessed over the reverse link channel. If not, the wireless communication system can be avoided to conserve power utilized to perform such access attempts. Where the unreliability is temporary, however, some access attempts can be performed for systems of higher priority than a current system during the period of avoidance of one or more higher priority systems.Type: GrantFiled: September 1, 2010Date of Patent: May 26, 2015Assignee: QUALCOMM IncorporatedInventors: Wei Qi, Arvind Swaminathan, Manasi D.

Patent number: 8660527Abstract: A wireless device receives a request to originate a data call, e.g., from the user or a higher layer application. If origination control is not to be applied, then the wireless device originates the data call immediately. Otherwise, the origination of the data call is controlled based on prior data call origination attempts that are applicable to the data call. For example, the wireless device may originate the data call immediately if (1) the most recent origination attempt was successful or (2) the most recent origination attempt was unsuccessful but a predetermined time period has elapsed since this unsuccessful origination attempt. If the most recent origination attempt was unsuccessful and the predetermined time period has not elapsed, then the wireless device may (1) wait until this predetermined time period elapses and then originate the data call or (2) reject the data call.Type: GrantFiled: September 29, 2005Date of Patent: February 25, 2014Assignee: QUALCOMM IncorporatedInventors: Sriram Nagesh Nookala, Rotem Cooper, James A. Hutchison, Venugopal Ramamurthy (Gopal)

Patent number: 8468366Abstract: Disclosed is a method for storing an identifier in a first station having a secure non-volatile data store protected by cryptographic data, an identifier flag for indicating that the identifier has been written to the secure data store, and an authenticated trust agent that prohibits writing of an identifier to the secure data store if the identifier flag is set. In the method, the identifier is written to the secure non-volatile data store, wherein the identifier written to the secure data store is encrypted using the cryptographic data. The identifier flag is irreversibly set after writing the identifier to the secure data store so that the trust agent prohibits another write of an identifier to the secure data store.Type: GrantFiled: March 24, 2008Date of Patent: June 18, 2013Assignee: QUALCOMM IncorporatedInventors: David Figueroa, James A.
