  • Patent number: 11973261
    Abstract: An antenna structure with wide radiation bandwidth in a reduced physical space includes a metallic housing, a first feed portion, and a second feed portion. The metallic housing includes a metallic side frame and a metallic back board. The metallic side frame defines a slot, and first and second gaps. The metallic side frame between the first gap and one end of the slot forms a first radiation portion. The second gap divides the first radiation portion into first and second radiation sections. The first feed portion feeds current and signal to the first radiation section, and the first radiation section works in a GPS mode and a WIFI 2.4 GHz mode. The second feed portion feeds current and signal to the second radiation section, and the second radiation section works in a WIFI 5 GHz mode.

  • Patent number: 11729904
    Abstract: An efficient fabrication technique, including an optional design step, is used to create highly customizable wearable electronics. The method of fabrication utilizes rapid laser machining and adhesion-controlled soft materials. The method produces well-aligned, multi-layered materials created from 2D and 3D elements that stretch and bend while seamlessly integrating with rigid components such as microchip integrated circuits (IC), discrete electrical components, and interconnects. The design step can be used to create a 3D device that conforms to different-shaped body parts. These techniques are applied using commercially available materials. These methods enable custom wearable electronics while offering versatility in design and functionality for a variety of bio-monitoring applications.
