Abstract: A wireless power transmitting device transmits wireless power signals to a wireless power receiving device. To detect foreign objects, the wireless power transmitting device has an array of temperature sensors. The array of temperature sensors may include temperature sensor components such as temperature sensitive thin-film resistors or other temperature sensitive components. A temperature sensor may have thin-film resistors formed on opposing sides of a substrate. The thin-film resistors may be formed from meandered metal traces to reduce eddy current formation during operation of the wireless power transmitting device. Signal paths coupling control circuitry on the wireless power transmitting device to the array of temperature sensors may be configured to extend along columns of the temperature sensors without running along each row of the temperature sensors, thereby reducing eddy currents from loops of signal routing lines.

Abstract: A wireless power transmitting device transmits wireless power signals to a wireless power receiving device. The wireless power receiving device has a rectifier and a wireless power receiving coil that receives wireless power signals. The wireless power transmitting device uses a layer of coils to transmit the wireless power signals. A dielectric layer in the wireless power transmitting device defines a charging surface that receives the wireless power receiving device. A layer of temperature sensors is interposed between the layer of coils and the dielectric layer. Control circuitry in the wireless power transmitting device uses temperature information from the temperature sensors to determine whether a foreign object such as a coin is present on the charging surface.

Abstract: Apparatuses, systems, and methods for a digital power amplifier (DPA) to generate a monotonic and linear ramp-up and ramp-down for a time division multiple access (TDMA) slot transmission are described. In one aspect, a monotonic and linear amplitude-to-control input code relationship model is generated for the DPA and stored. When the DPA needs to generate a ramp-up or ramp-down, the stored monotonic and linear amplitude-to-control input code relationship model is used to shape the input control code before it is input into the DPA. A new monotonic and linear amplitude-to-control input code relationship model may be generated and stored if the operating conditions change. The apparatuses, systems, and methods described herein may be applied to a multi-standard broadband modem chip capable of 2G transmission.

Abstract: A system, apparatus, and method are disclosed to provide an enhanced search index for searchable content by limited capability devices, such as mobile phones. A URL analyzer determines clusters of mobile web page URLs and corresponding tokens. A landing page identifier evaluates cluster URLs and the tokens to identify landing page URLs for mobile web pages likely to be relevant to an associated search term. A mapper associates the landing page URLs with related domain hosts that include conventional web pages generally not accessible to limited capability devices. A category tagger associates the landing page URLs with categories of conventional web pages that share a content topic. The landing page URLs, and corresponding tokens, domain host information, and categories are added to the search index. A submitted search term is evaluated relative to the tokens, domain host information, and categories to determine relevant mobile web landing pages as search results.
