Abstract:
Described herein are architectures, platforms and methods for enhancing range and increasing data rates during near field communication (NFC) related functions or transactions.
Abstract:
The disclosure generally relates to a method and apparatus for wireless charging station with adaptive radio interference detection and control. During wireless charging of a smart device, the harmonics associated with the magnetic resonance coupling between the power transmission unit (PTU) and the power receiving unit (PRU) may interfere with radio communication if PRU engages in radio messaging. The disclosed embodiments provide method and system for identifying interference and adapting the wireless charging power to reduce or eliminate interference while efficiently charging the PRU.
Abstract:
Described herein are architectures, platforms and methods for dynamic amplification/boosting of near field communications (NFC) antenna transmission power in a device during NFC related functions that require increase in an NFC antenna transmission power such as a payment transaction. For example, to comply with Europay MasterCard and Visa (EMVco) standards with regard to higher NFC antenna transmission power during the EMVco transactions, the NFC antenna transmission power may be dynamically controlled to maximize efficiency of a battery/power supply of the device.
Abstract:
This document discloses one or more systems, apparatuses, methods, etc. for integrating coil antennas in a carbon fiber chassis portable device. More particularly, the carbon fiber chassis portable device containing unidirectional weave carbon fibers in its chassis—to support near field communications (NFC) related functions—is described.
Abstract:
Techniques of magnetic field distribution are described herein. The techniques may include forming a wireless charging component including a driving coil to receive a driven current generating a magnetic field. An outer turn of a parasitic coil may be formed, wherein the outer turn is adjacent to the driving coil. An inner turn of the parasitic coil may be formed, wherein an inductive coupling between the driving coil and the parasitic coil generates a redistribution of a portion of the magnetic field at the inner turn.
Abstract:
An antenna element forms a ring slot antenna comprising a first slot and second slot. The antenna element is located on a first surface of a conductive chassis that encases a body or a volume for wireless communication signals to be received or transmitted. A coupling component is located on an opposite side of the conductive chassis and behind the antenna element. The coupling component facilitates a coupling between a communication component and the antenna element as a function of the orientation and geometric shape of the coupling component to facilitate different resonant frequencies via the first and second slots of the antenna element.
Abstract:
Embodiments of systems and methods for providing in-mold laminate antennas are generally described herein. Other embodiments may be described and claimed.
Abstract:
Described herein are techniques related one or more systems, apparatuses, methods, etc. for reducing induced currents in a apparatus chassis. For example, a fractal slot is constructed in the apparatus chassis to reduce the induced currents, and enhance passage of magnetic fields through the apparatus chassis. In this example, the fractal slot may include a no-self loop fractal space filling curve shape to provide high impedance to the induced currents.
Abstract:
The disclosure relates to a method, apparatus and system for power transmission unit (PTU) having a sensing unit. The sensing unit may be integrated with the PTU to determine when a power receiving unit (PRU) is proximal and awaken the PTU's charging coil. When a PRU is not present, the PTU may be in Deep Sleep state to save power.
Abstract:
Some demonstrative embodiments include apparatuses, devices, systems and methods of channel switching. For example, a video source device may include a radio to establish a peer to peer (P2P) connection over a first wireless communication channel between the video source device and a video sink, the P2P connection to stream from the video source device to the video sink content to be displayed on a display device, and to receive from the video sink a message including type information indicating a type of the display device; and a controller to initiate, based on the type of the display device, a channel switch procedure to switch the P2P connection from the first wireless communication channel to a second wireless communication channel.
