  • Patent number: 10771671
    Abstract: Modular digital camera systems are disclosed. The modular digital camera system can include a brain module configured to be releasably coupled to one or more of a port extender module, power module, display module, and handle module. The brain module and other accessory modules can be structured according to some embodiments to increase an ease of coupling and decoupling the modules. The brain module can include an antenna, such as a slot antenna, for transmitting and receiving radiofrequency signals.

  • Publication number: 20110151780
    Abstract: An information handling system having an antenna disposed at an outer housing surface provides wireless information signals received by the antenna to a receiver within the housing by capacitive coupling of the signals through the housing. A capacitive pattern portion connected to the antenna at the outer housing surface is disposed opposite a capacitive coupler at the inner surface so that electromagnetic energy of wireless signals inductively couples between the conductive material of the capacitive pattern portion and the capacitive coupler through non-conductive material of the housing without physical contact between the capacitive pattern portion and the capacitive coupler.

  • Patent number: 7555134
    Abstract: Wireless earphone systems provide earphones configured to be supported entirely by the ear canals of the wearer and to provide stereophonic reproduction of sound to the wearer based on a two-channel stereophonic signal from a transceiver that is attachable to a device. Certain systems include earphones configured such that channel reception can be switched between the earphones. Certain systems include an earphone that includes: a housing; a ground plane comprising circuitry; and a multi-segmented antenna configured to receive a signal from a transceiver, wherein the antenna and the ground plane are disposed within the housing, wherein the antenna is substantially parallel to the ground plane, and wherein the antenna and the ground plane are separated by a distance.

  • Publication number: 20020028655
    Abstract: A repeater system for wireless communications applications is, in one aspect, programmable and controllable in a manner that enables multi-user, multiband, and multi-protocol operation. The repeater system includes a repeater coupled to an inside antenna system and to an outside antenna system, either or both of which may be adaptive. Inside cellular phones are coupled via links (that may be cellular or non-cellular) to the repeater and to a control unit, which is itself connected by a link to the repeater. The repeater includes a repeater core coupled to a control component. The core is constructed from a number of modules, the selection of which determines the operation and functionality of the repeater core. Core modules, selectively enabled by a user, establish one or more of the following modes of operation: passive, single-frequency active (SFA), Up/Down Converter (UDC), Remote Wireless Modem (RWM), and Shared-Identity repeater operation.
