Patent number: 8330259Abstract: A IC package for a wireless device includes an antenna that is attached to the chip. The electrically conductive elements of the antenna are spaced away from the antenna and particularly the endpoint of the antenna to prevent interference with the antenna. An element on the IC package may be shielded antenna. The antenna may have the shape of a space-filling curve, including a Hilbert, box-counting or grid dimension curve.Type: GrantFiled: July 22, 2005Date of Patent: December 11, 2012Assignee: Fractus, S.A.Inventors: Jordi Soler Castany, Carles Puente, Jose Mumbru Forn

Patent number: 7158228Abstract: A holographic imaging spectrometer, apparatus, and/or method enables the projection of a two-dimensional (2D) slice (having spectral information) of a four-dimensional (4D) probing object. A 4D probing source object is illuminated to emit an optical field. A holographic element having one or more recorded holograms receives and diffracts the optical field into a diffracted plane beam having spectral information. Collector optics (e.g., an imaging lens) focuses the diffracted plane beam having spectral information to a 2D slice (having spectral information) of the 4D probing source object. The focused 2D slice having spectral information is projected onto a 2D detector array surface. In addition, the holographic element may have multiple multiplexed holograms that are arranged to diffract light from the corresponding slice of the 4D probing source object to a non-overlapping section of the detector.Type: GrantFiled: July 25, 2003Date of Patent: January 2, 2007Assignees: California Institute of Technology, Massachusetts Institute of TechnologyInventors: Demetri Psaltis, Wenhai Liu, Jose Mumbru, George Barbastathis
