  • Publication number: 20240187270
    Abstract: A method includes receiving, from an entity, a request to organize a survey on a topic, based on the request, organizing a survey of a plurality of people, recording a video of the survey, obtaining a transcription of the video and linking the transcription of the video in time to the video to yield a processed video. The method can further include presenting, on a user interface to the entity based on the processed video, the video and the transcription of the video, wherein each word in the transcription of the video is selectable by the entity, receiving a selection of text by the entity from the transcription of the video and, based on the selection of the text, presenting a portion of the video at a time that is associated with when a participant in the video spoke the text. The user can also select a “clip to next speaker” option to generate a clip.

  • Patent number: 10530188
    Abstract: A remote device in accordance with the present invention includes an adaptive power receiver that receives wireless power from the wireless power supply by induction. The adaptive power receiver may be switched among two or more modes of operation, including, for example, a high-Q mode and a low-Q mode. By controlling the switching between modes, the amount of energy received by the adaptive receiver may be controlled. This control is a form of adaptive resonance control or Q control.

  • Patent number: 10187042
    Abstract: A wireless power transfer component with a selectively adjustable resonator circuit having a Q control subcircuit that varies the Q factor of the resonator circuit to control the amount of power relayed by the resonator circuit. The resonator circuit may be in the wireless power supply, the wireless power receiver, an intermediate resonator or any combination thereof. The resonator circuit may be actively configured based on a feedback circuit. The feedback circuit may sense a characteristic in the secondary circuit or elsewhere and actively operate the control subcircuit based on the sensed characteristic. The feedback circuit may cause the Q control subcircuit to change (reduce or increase) the Q factor when the sensed characteristic crosses a threshold value. The Q control subcircuit may include a variable resistor having a value that can be varied to adjust the Q factor of the resonator circuit.

  • Patent number: 9680311
    Abstract: A wireless power system for wirelessly transferring power to a remote device from a wireless power supply at a range of distances. Various embodiments are contemplated in which reflected impedance from the remote device can be reduced by reducing coupling outside the desired wireless power transfer path, allowing delivery of wireless power over a range of distances. For example, a system incorporating one or more of shielding, spacing, and offsetting may be used to reduce reflected impedance from the remote device. An adapter may also be used to extend the range of wireless power transfer.
