Patent number: 8723723Abstract: A dual mode ground penetrating radar includes an enclosure which houses radar electronics. The dual mode ground penetrating radar includes a enclosure housing radar electronics. The dual mode ground penetrating radar further includes a first antenna feed having ferrite loading and extending outside of the enclosure. The dual mode ground penetrating radar further includes a second antenna feed spaced apart from the first antenna feed, the second antenna feed having ferrite loading and extending outside of the enclosure. An RF signal is provided in at least one of the first and second antenna feeds by the radar electronics.Type: GrantFiled: February 8, 2013Date of Patent: May 13, 2014Assignee: King Abdulaziz City for Science and TechnologyInventors: Tariq A. Al-Khalefah, Khaled F. R. Almutairi, Per Arne Vincent Utsi

Patent number: 8718787Abstract: An apparatus for providing transdermal wireless communication includes medical implant circuitry; a transceiver coupled to the medical implant circuitry; a first metal surface having an end portion and a base portion; a second metal surface parallel to the first metal surface and connected to the first metal surface by a conductor, the second metal surface being separated from the first metal surface by a dielectric layer; a first radiating element tuned to a first frequency and disposed within the dielectric layer between the first metal surface and second metal surface; and a feed structure in electrical communication with the transceiver and the first radiating strip. The first radiating element has a first reactive portion at a first end thereof, a second reactive portion at a second end thereof, and a first radiating strip extending between the first reactive portion and the second reactive portion.Type: GrantFiled: September 11, 2012Date of Patent: May 6, 2014Assignee: MicroCHIPS, Inc.Inventors: Vincent Utsi, Mark Norris, Jean-Daniel Richerd
