Patents by Inventor John Robert Balint, III

John Robert Balint, III has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 9520740
    Abstract: A shielding arrangement for preventing AM radio interference when a wireless charger is used in a vehicle has a plurality of parallel conductors arranged at a distance from one another responsive to a frequency desired to be attenuated. An interconnection arrangement includes a solid conductive junction and connects the conductors to one another without forming loops, and to ground. The conductors are traces disposed on a PCB. Additional parallel conducts are disposed on the other side of the PCB at an orthogonal orientation with respect to the first conductors. The spacing between the conductors is determined in response to the frequency desired to be attenuated, as well as frequencies thereabove that are desired to be propagated therethrough, such as mobile telephone signals. The solid conductive junction that is disposed on the printed circuit board is electrically and thermally conductive, such as copper.

  • Publication number: 20140171123
    Abstract: Systems and methods of configuring mobile electronic devices are provided. In one aspect, a system includes a vehicle, a mobile electronic device including a first manner of operation and a second manner of operation different than the first manner of operation, and a wireless charging system positioned in the vehicle and adapted to wirelessly charge the mobile electronic device. The mobile electronic device operates in the first manner of operation outside of the vehicle, and the wireless charging system identifies the mobile electronic device when the mobile electronic device is inside the vehicle and operation of the mobile electronic device changes from the first manner of operation to the second manner of operation with the mobile electronic device in the vehicle. In another aspect, the system includes a wireless charging system positioned at any location and adapted to communicate data to a mobile electronic device associated with the location.
