Patent number: 11575234Abstract: A male connector (100) includes a contact pad substrate (101) and a connector shell (102). The contact pad substrate (101) includes a linear array of contact pads (103a, 103b, 103c, 103d) that are adapted for aligning with corresponding contacts (103?a, 103?b, 103?c, 103?d) of a contact-bearing tongue (104?) of a corresponding female connector (100?) that conforms to a USB Series A receptacle contact pad pitch specification. The two outermost contact pads (103a, 103d) of the linear array are electrically connected together. The connector shell (102) is formed from an insulating material and comprises a tubular portion (102a) for insertion into the corresponding female connector (100?), and a handling portion (102b) for handling during insertion.Type: GrantFiled: August 8, 2019Date of Patent: February 7, 2023Assignee: KONINKLIJKE PHILIPS N.V.Inventors: Robert Willem Bosma, Johannes Antonius Van Rooij, Willem-Jan Arend De Wijs, Jan Harm De Boer, Mustafa Hakan Gokgurler

Patent number: 11529194Abstract: The present invention relates to a system SY for determining a position of an RF transponder circuit RTC respective an ultrasound emitter unit UEU. The RF transponder circuit RTC emits RF signals that are modulated based on received ultrasound signals that are emitted or reflected by the ultrasound emitter unit UEU. The position of the RF transponder circuit RTC respective the ultrasound emitter unit UEU is determined based on a time difference ?T1 between the emission of an ultrasound signal by the ultrasound emitter unit UEU and the detection by the RF detector unit RFD of a corresponding modulation in the RF signal emitted or reflected by the RF transponder circuit (RTC).Type: GrantFiled: March 20, 2017Date of Patent: December 20, 2022Assignee: KONINKLIJKE PHILIPS N.V.Inventors: Willem-Jan Arend De Wijs, Gerardus Johannes Nicolaas Doodeman, Jacobus Josephus Leijssen, Michiel De Jong, Jan Harm de Boer

Publication number: 20080285429Abstract: In order to create a record carrier having a side-channel which cannot be copied with a channel-bit recorder, the record carrier (1) has a modulated spiral. By modulating one or more of the spiral parameters, like the channel bit length or the track pitch, a side-channel is created. If a record carrier having such a side-channel is copied using a channel-bit recorder, the information present in the side-channel is lost. The number of bits to be stored in the modulated spiral can be selected as desired; also the way in which the bits are present can be selected; the bits can e.g. can be stored in different bands (A,B,C,D) present on the record carrier, in which band the spiral parameter modulated can be kept constant.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 25, 2004Publication date: November 20, 2008Applicant: Koninklijke Philips Electronics N.V.Inventors: Johan Cornelis Talstra, Antonius Hermanus Maria Akkermans, Adrianus Johannes Maria Denissen, Nicolaas Lambert, Antonius Adriaan Maria Staring, Jan Harm De Boer

Patent number: 7263052Abstract: The invention relates to a method for generating a primary binary signal having a predetermined spectral shape in a predetermined frequency range, in particular having a notch in the power spectrum in a predetermined frequency range. In order to avoid crosstalk between a primary binary signal and a secondary binary signal it is proposed according to the invention that data-words are modulated into channel-words forming the channel bitstream of the primary binary signal and that the modulation of the data-words is chosen such that the predetermined spectral shape of the channel bitstream of the primary binary signal is achieved by using an evaluation criterion based on a spectral weight function the shape of which is tailored to the spectral extent of the channel bitstream of a secondary binary signal.Type: GrantFiled: September 18, 2003Date of Patent: August 28, 2007Assignee: Koninklijke Philips Electronics N.V.Inventors: Willem Marie Julia Marcel Coene, Job Cornelis Oostveen, Aloysius Michael Josephus Maria Spruijt, Paulus Reinier Joannes Van Roosmalen, Jan Harm De Boer

Patent number: 7068574Abstract: An information system according to the invention comprises a record carrier and a playback apparatus. The record carrier has information marks along a track thereof and exhibits first variations caused by existence and nonexistence of the information marks along the track. The first variations represent an information signal recorded on said record carrier. The record carrier further exhibits second variations caused by variations associated with the information marks. The phase of the second variations is coupled to the phase of the first variations.Type: GrantFiled: July 2, 2001Date of Patent: June 27, 2006Assignee: Koninklijke Philips Electronics N.V.Inventors: Job Cornelis Oostveen, Willem Marie Julia Marcel Coene, Jan Harm De Boer, Franciscus Antonius Johannes Kamperman, Aloysius Michael Josephus Maria Spruijt, Paulus Reinier Joannes Van Roosmalen
