  • Patent number: 10772112
    Abstract: Generally, the described techniques provide for transmission schedule coordination, and in some cases transmission schedule modification, for time division multiple access (TDMA) links amongst devices engaged in communications. A network neighborhood alignment (NNA) protocol may allow devices to inform peer devices of current (e.g., established) connections within the network neighborhood (e.g., of TDMA links established between the device and peer devices, or of TDMA links established between other per devices that are known to the device). Devices may also communicate desired connection preferences, requests for peer device current connection information (e.g., the types of data being transferred by a peer device, the connection type of links associated with the peer device), etc. In some examples, the NNA protocol may establish the information exchange via a dedicated network neighborhood channel (NNC) or via point-to-point messages exchanged between devices (e.g.

  • Patent number: 10731883
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for ventilating are described. Generally, the described methods, systems, and devices may support generating subsonic air pressure waves for enhancing air ventilation, heating, and cooling applications. Specifically, a transducer device may be configured to provide air ventilation, heating, and cooling based on a generated waveform. For example, the transducer device may be coupled to a waveform generator that may generate a repeating asymmetric waveform having an attack and decay profile for generating pulses (e.g., pressure waves) that propagate outward. In some implementations, multiple transducer devices may be configured to operate synchronously with each other to further enhance the air ventilation, heating, and cooling application.

  • Publication number: 20200067340
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless charging are described. A device may be configured to function as a wireless power transmitter or wireless power receiver, or both. In some implementations, the device may be configured with a single coil that may function as a receiver coil and a transmitter coil when desirable. Alternatively, the device may be configured with two separate coils (e.g., a receiver coil to operate as a wireless power receiver and a transmitter coil to operate as a wireless power transmitter).
