  • 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.

  • Publication number: 20110310001
    Abstract: An adaptive interface system includes a user interface providing a visual output, a sensor for detecting a vision characteristic of a user and generating a sensor signal representing the vision characteristic, and a processor in communication with the sensor and the user interface, wherein the processor receives the sensor signal, analyzes the sensor signal based upon an instruction set to determine the vision characteristic of the user, and reconfigures the visual output of the user interface based upon the vision characteristic of the user to highlight at least a portion the visual output within a field of focus of the user.

  • Publication number: 20060034819
    Abstract: The invention relates to a mutant protein comprising at least a fragment of a mutant dimethylarginine dimethylaminohydrolase (DDAH) enzyme, wherein the fragment possesses an affinity for asymmetric N,N-dimethyl arginine (ADMA) and/or L,N-monomethylarginine (LNMMA), which exists at lower plasma levels than ADMA, and is deficient in hydrolyzing ADMA or LNMMA to citrulline, releasing citrulline, or both.

  • Publication number: 20050255552
    Abstract: The present invention provides methods of making antibodies having the binding specificity of a reference antibody. Antibodies generated by the methods of the inventions have at least one minimal essential binding specificity determinant from a heavy chain or light chain CDR3 from the reference antibody. The method can be used, e.g., in humanization procedures. The invention also provides libraries and antibodies made in accordance with the methods.

  • Publication number: 20050008625
    Abstract: This invention provides for a novel means for obtaining human idiologs for any non-human antibody to any target by epitope guided replacement of variable regions using competitive cell-based methods in which the competitor can be either the reference antibody or a ligand that binds to the same epitope on the target as the reference antibody.
