  • Publication number: 20240400375
    Abstract: A strain sensor utilizes an ohmic-based contact switch to detect strain. The sensor can be incorporated into other structures, such as an artificial flapping wing, to detect strain and other parameters, including air flow disturbances. The sensors are fabricated using an additive manufacturing process, with a layer of gold or other conductive material applied for electrical conductivity and UV laser ablation for electrical isolation. The sensor design incorporates mechanical amplification, converting small strains into larger displacements that close contact pads, resulting in an ohmic switch activated at a specific strain threshold. Unlike traditional sensors, the switch provides a high or low state output directly without the need for additional amplification or post-processing. The device can detect disturbances in flapping wing cycles and obtain yaw rotation information, with potential applications in other aircraft for disturbance detection.

  • Patent number: 9503159
    Abstract: An electronic device includes a processor, a memory, an embedded element storing information, and a short-range radio controller. The embedded element is readable by an external reader. The short-range radio controller is configured to receive a radio communication. If the short-range radio controller is being powered by a primary battery that powers the processor, the short-range radio controller is configured to route the radio communication to the embedded element if the radio communication is for accessing the embedded element, or route the radio communication to a component of the electronic device different from the embedded element if the radio communication is not for accessing the embedded element. If the short-range radio controller is not being powered by the primary battery, the short-range radio controller is configured to route the radio communication to the embedded element.

  • Patent number: 9124365
    Abstract: A mobile device includes a processing device that converts a digital input signal to an analog output signal and a memory device that stores a plurality of gain tables, each including values associated with processing the digital input signal. The mobile device further includes at least one filter and at least one amplifier. The processing device is configured to select one of the plurality of gain tables based on the signal strength of the digital input signal and apply one or more values in the selected gain table to the filter, the amplifier, or both, to process the digital input signal, the analog output signal, or both. A method includes receiving a digital input signal, identifying a signal strength of the digital input signal, selecting one of a plurality of gain tables, and processing the digital input signal based on the selected gain table.

  • Patent number: 9031606
    Abstract: A method and system is provided to control a mobile device. The method includes initially determining whether 4G network service is available. The network switch is set to a 4G baseband processor upon determining that 4G network service is available. The 4G network connection is monitored to determine whether a fault occurs. If so, the 4G baseband processor is reset. However, if 4G network service is not available, whether 3G network service is available is determined. If so, the network switch is set to a 3G baseband processor. When in 3G mode, the 3G network connection is monitored to determine whether a fault occurs. If so, whether a 4G network service is available is determined. Even if there is no fault with the 3G network, the mobile device switches to use the 4G network when the 4G network becomes available.

  • Patent number: 8892160
    Abstract: A method and device is provided that determines whether an antenna is electrically connected to its respective coupling device. The first side of the device includes coupling device, a mechanical switch, and an application processor. The second side includes an antenna contact that that is creates an electrical connection with a coupling device on the first side when the first side is securely attached to the second side. The mechanical switch is configured to be in an “open” state when the antenna contact does not make an electrical connection with the coupling device. Each mechanical switch is configured to be in a “closed” state when the antenna contact does make an electrical connection with its coupling device. The application processor determines the state of each mechanical switch. When any switch is an “open” state, it provides a notification on an interface of the mobile device.
