Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to a contactless card including an actuation security structure that is actuated to provide authorization in accessing identifying information on an integrated circuit within the contactless card. In at least one embodiment, the actuation security structure includes a pair of conductive layers and a pair of electrodes. Ends of the pair of conductive layers overlap respective ones of the pair of electrodes. The ends of the pair of conductive layers are at and in a first elastically deformable region and the respective ones of the pair of electrodes are at and in a second elastically deformable region. An owner of the contactless card may provide authorization to access the identification information on the contactless card by applying force to both the first and second elastically deformable regions inward resulting in the ends of the conductive layers moving into electrical communication with the pair of electrodes.

Abstract: A wireless power receiver includes a rectifier with first and second inputs coupled to first and second terminals of a receiver coil, and having a first output coupled to ground and a second output at which a rectified voltage is produced. A first switch is coupled between the second input and ground, and is controlled by a first gate voltage generated at a first node. A second switch is coupled between the first node and ground, and is controlled by a second gate voltage. The first gate voltage closes the first switch to couple the second input to ground when the rectified voltage is less than a threshold voltage, boosting the rectified voltage. The second gate voltage closes the second switch to cause the second gate voltage to be pulled to ground when the rectified voltage is greater than the threshold voltage, limiting the boosting of the rectified voltage.

Abstract: A wireless power receiving circuit includes a transistor based rectifier receiving an AC input voltage, and control logic receiving an overvoltage signal. The control logic generates control signals for controlling turn on of transistors within the transistor based rectifier based upon the overvoltage signal so as to cause the transistor based rectifier to produce a rectified output voltage from the AC input voltage. A comparator compares the rectified output voltage to a reference voltage and asserts the overvoltage signal if the rectified output voltage is greater than the reference voltage. In response to assertion of the overvoltage signal, the control logic asserts the control signals to simultaneously turn on all transistors of the transistor based rectifier.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a strain gauge including a substrate, with a first Wheatstone bridge arrangement of resistors disposed on a first surface of the substrate, and a second Wheatstone bridge arrangement of resistors disposed remotely from the first Wheatstone bridge arrangement of resistors. The resistors of the first Wheatstone bridge arrangement are equal in resistance to one another, while the resistors of the second Wheatstone bridge arrangement are unequal in resistance to one another and unequal to those of the first Wheatstone bridge arrangement. The first Wheatstone bridge arrangement of resistors are electrically connected in parallel with the second Wheatstone bridge arrangement of resistors such that each resistor of the first Wheatstone bridge arrangement is electrically connected in parallel with a different resistor of the second Wheatstone bridge arrangement.

Abstract: A receiver circuit includes a rectifier operable in full-, half-synchronous and asynchronous modes. A measurement circuit, with method, provides for real-time power measurement within the rectifier. The measurements are made based on the average output current from the rectifier delivered to the load and measurements sampled over time of the instantaneous voltage at each input/output node of the rectifier. Equivalent resistance in the rectifier is determined from the measurements and power dissipation calculated from the determined equivalent resistance and the average output current. The instantaneous voltages are synchronously captured through high-voltage AC coupling in order to detect the voltage drop across each element of the rectifier. The sensed voltages are amplified in the low voltage domain and converted by a high-speed analog-to-digital converter in order to produce data useful in computing equivalent resistance values. From these values, power dissipation within the rectifier is calculated and real-time equivalent resistance is available.

Abstract: A bridge rectifier is controlled by control circuitry to act a “regtifier” which both regulates and rectifies without the use of a traditional voltage regulator. To accomplish this, the gate voltages of transistors of the bridge that are on during a given phase may be modulated to dissipate excess power. Gate voltages of transistors of the bridge that are off during the given phase may alternatively or additionally be modulated to dissipate excess power. The regtifier may act as two half-bridges that each power a different voltage converter, with those voltage converters powering a battery. The voltage converters may be switched capacitor voltage converters that switch synchronously with switching of the two half-bridges as they perform rectification.

Abstract: A method of making a light sensor module includes connecting a light sensing circuit to an interconnect on a substrate, and forming a cap. The cap is formed by producing a cap substrate from material opaque to light to have an opening formed therein, placing the cap substrate top-face down, dispensing a light transmissible material into the opening, compressing the light transmissible material using a hot tool to thereby cause the light transmissible material to fully flow into the opening to form at a light transmissible aperture, and placing the cap substrate into a curing environment. A bonding material is dispensed onto the substrate. The cap is picked up and placed onto the substrate positioned such that the light transmissible aperture is aligned with the light sensing circuit, with the bonding material bonding the cap to the substrate to thereby form the light sensor module.
