  • Usage of measurement antenna transmitting communication signal for power adjustment in wireless device
    Patent number: 8644778
    Abstract: A method is disclosed including, using a measurement antenna in a wireless device, determining whether a user is proximate the wireless device at least by transmitting a signal using the measurement antenna; in response to a determination the user is not proximate the wireless device, transmitting the signal using a main antenna at a normal transmit power; and in response to a determination the user is proximate the wireless device, transmitting the signal using the main antenna at a limited transmit power. Another method includes in response to a determination a user is not proximate a wireless device, transmitting a signal using a first set of main antennas; and in response to a determination the user is proximate the wireless device, transmitting the signal using the second set of main antennas. Apparatus and program products are also disclosed.

  • Kinetic harvesting frequency optimizer
    Publication number: 20100102673
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is an apparatus. The apparatus includes a kinetic energy scavenger mechanism and a frequency tuning system. The kinetic energy scavenger mechanism is configured to harvest energy from a movement of a portable device. The kinetic energy scavenger mechanism includes at least one piezo member. The frequency tuning system is connected to the kinetic energy scavenger system. The frequency tuning system is configured to tune a harvesting frequency of the at least one piezo member based on, at least partially, a characterization of the movement of the portable device.
