  • Contactless connector location systems and methods
    Patent number: 10405316
    Abstract: Embodiments discussed herein refer to systems, methods, and circuits for locating obfuscated EHF contactless connectors so that a contactless communication link can be established between two devices. When connector interfaces are not readily ascertainable, a user may rely on the location embodiments discussed herein to quickly and correctly orient his or her device with respect to another device to establish the contactless communication link.
    Type: Grant

    Assignee: KEYSSA SYSTEMS, INC.
    Inventors: Theo Kersjes, John Wolcott
  • Redundant contactless communication
    Patent number: 9888516
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus for EM communications. One of the apparatus includes a first device comprising: a first contactless connector and a second contactless connector, and a first controller configured to test the first contactless connector and the second contactless connector to determine a primary connector and a redundant connector, wherein the primary connector is configured to establish a communication link with a connector of another device.

  • Electromechanical sensor apparatus and methods with multisensing aspects
    Patent number: 8735198
    Abstract: One embodiment of the present application includes a multisensor assembly. This assembly has an electromechanical motion sensor member defined with one wafer layer, a first sensor carried with a first one or two or more other wafer layers, and a second sensor carried with a second one of the other wafer layers. The one wafer layer is positioned between the other wafer layers to correspondingly enclose the sensor member within a cavity of the assembly.
