  • Publication number: 20170182903
    Abstract: Technologies for wireless charging of an electric vehicle include moving a first coil toward a second coil based on a sensed distance between the first coil and the second coil. In an embodiment, the first coil is embodied as a power transmission coil that is moved toward the second coil, which is embodied as a power receiving coil located in the electric vehicle. The power transmission coil may be moved vertically from a roadway or other substrate beneath the electric vehicle. In another embodiment, the first coil may be embodied as the power receiving coil located in the electric vehicle that is moved downwardly from the electric vehicle toward the second coil, which is embodied as the power transmission coil. In such embodiments, the power transmission coil may be embodied in the roadway or other substrate beneath the electric vehicle. Additional technologies for controlling the movement and transfer of power of the coils are also disclosed.

  • Publication number: 20170188129
    Abstract: A proximity sensing headphone may include a gyroscopic sensor to determine the motion of the headphone structure and a proximity sensor to determine the movement of an external object through a three-dimensional ambient environment. A proximity sensing headphone control circuit determines the relative motion or movement between the headphone structure in the three-dimensional ambient environment and the external object in the three-dimensional ambient environment to determine at least a distance between the headphone structure and the external object and a velocity of the external object through the three-dimensional ambient environment about the headphone structure. The control circuit may provide an alert output if the determined distance between the headphone structure and the external object is less than a defined distance threshold or the velocity of the external object through the three-dimensional ambient environment about the headphone structure exceeds a defined velocity threshold.

  • Publication number: 20170179731
    Abstract: An apparatus is described herein. The apparatus includes a power transmit unit coil and an active shielding coil. The power transmit unit coil includes a set of main windings, positioned at a first location on a structure, to carry a first current in a first direction, wherein the first current is to cause an electromagnetic field to emanate from the power transmit unit coil. The active shielding coil is positioned at a second location on the structure and is to carry a second current in a direction substantially opposite the first direction wherein the second current is to cause a reduction of the size of the electromagnetic field.

  • Patent number: 7654878
    Abstract: A backframe may be utilized to align a plurality of emissive display tiles precisely with respect to one another. The individual display tiles may be removable from the backframe for replacement or other reasons. As a result, the spacing between individual tiles in an overall large format display may be precisely controlled in some cases. In addition, regularly occurring gaps between adjacent tiles may be filled with a suitable light absorbing material to reduce the visibility of seams.

  • Patent number: 7027015
    Abstract: An organic light emitting device display may be compensated for color variations between sub-pixels of the same expressed color. This may be done initially upon manufacture of the display and may be continued and updated in the course of the display's lifetime to compensate for differential effects of aging on different expressed sub-pixels. In accordance with one embodiment of the present invention, the display may be driven to achieve a color gamut that substantially all of the pixels are capable of achieving.

  • Patent number: 6822256
    Abstract: An organic light emitting device display may be formed that is suitably passivated while still permitting electrical access to cathodes and anodes via electrical contacts. In one embodiment, a barrier layer may be formed over the light emitting material to prevent moisture or other ambient attack. The barrier layer may be covered with other layers to form an outer and inner via down to the cathode or anode to be contacted. A contact metal may be provided to the anode or cathode. The layers over the barrier layer permit patterning and contact formation while the barrier layer adequately protects the light emitting material during those steps and thereafter.
