Publication number: 20220200150Abstract: An end-fire antenna for wideband low form factor applications includes a first metal layer, a second metal layer, and a dielectric layer disposed between the first and second metal layers. An open cavity formed in the dielectric layer that is filled with air, the cavity defined by a pair of sidewalls that extend from an aperture of the cavity to a rear wall of the cavity, where the depth of the aperture is defined between the aperture and the rear wall. The cavity is formed by selecting the width of the aperture of the cavity and the depth of the cavity such that the antenna achieves the same gain during operation irrespective of a variation in the thickness of the antenna.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 28, 2021Publication date: June 23, 2022Inventors: Foad Arfaei Malekzadeh, Stephen Stephen Kovacic, Abdulhadi Ebrahim Abdulhadi, Dinhphuoc Vu Hoang

Publication number: 20140329472Abstract: Embodiments relate to a sensing device configured to sense the environment of an antenna in a wireless communications or wireless power transfer device without impacting data signal or transferred power integrity. By incorporating a sensing device in the wireless device that operates outside the data signal operating and operational power transfer frequency(s) of the antenna, send/receive data signal integrity may be retained while sensing the environment of the antenna. The sensing device may further use properties of the sensed environment to adjust the configuration of a tunable antenna to decrease signal degradation due to the environment and increase battery life or power transfer efficiency of the wireless device.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 5, 2014Publication date: November 6, 2014Applicant: CommSense LLCInventors: Andrew Stephen Kovacs, Wesley Nathaniel Allen

Publication number: 20070166244Abstract: Disclosed are compositions for delivering one or more oral care substances to the oral cavity, comprising: (a) a silicone pressure sensitive adhesive selected from a silicone/resin copolymer with silicon-bonded hydroxyl radicals, a silicone/resin copolymer with endcapped silicon-bonded hydroxyl radicals and mixtures thereof; (b) a plasticizing material; (c) a water-soluble bioadhesive polymer; (d) a hydrophilic surfactant, and (e) at least one oral care substance. The silicone/resin copolymer is prepared by polycondensing a silanol endblocked polydialkylsiloxane and a hydroxyl endblocked silicate resin. The polycondensation product may be further reacted with a trialkylsilyl endcapping agent to reduce the number of hydroxyl radicals in the polymer. Further disclosed are methods of using these compositions, such as for teeth bleaching and whitening applications.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 19, 2006Publication date: July 19, 2007Inventors: Chanchal Ghosh, Stephen Kovacs, Satyanarayana Majeti
