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:
Described herein are techniques related to near field coupling and WLAN dual-band operations. For example, a WLAN dual-band utilizes the same coil antenna that is utilized for near field communications (NFC) functions. The WLAN dual-band may be integrated into an NFC module to form a single module.

Abstract:
An apparatus of embodiments, as described herein, includes one or more processors to track data associated with movement of a computing device accessible to a user, and evaluate the data and compare a latency with latency thresholds, where the data indicates the latency and the latency thresholds associated with a frame. The one or more processors are further to maintain a current video encoding rate, if the latency is lower than a first latency threshold and greater than a second latency threshold. The current video encoding rate is decreased if the latency is equal to or greater than the first latency threshold, where the current video encoding rate is increased if the latency is lower than the second latency threshold. The one or more processors are further to present the frame at the computing device including one or more of a wearable device and a mobile device.
