    摘要: A “semi-transparent” antenna and Radio Frequency (RF) device implementing the same. The semi-transparent antenna gathers some of the RF energy in a carrier signal, but most of the energy in the RF wave does not couple into the antenna. Accordingly, because the antenna minimally affects the electromagnetic RF fields surrounding the antenna even in the vicinity of the antenna, assemblies of objects carrying the RF devices can be formed while maintaining acceptable communications with the RF devices.

    摘要: A circuit tracks the total amount of time that a host device has spent in its high power “activated” state (and optionally idle and hibernate states) and thereby can estimate the total power consumed by the host device. A remote device can query the state of a counter storing a value representing this time to accurately determine how much of the energy has been consumed by the host device and how much time is left and/or how many more operations can be performed before the host device's battery is exhausted.

    摘要: A system and method for selectively activating a device based on an activate command. A circuit, in low power mode, listens for an activate command. The activate command includes a preamplifer centering sequence, an interrupt signal, and an activate code. The circuit receives a signal that may or may not be an activate command, self-biases the signal based on the preamplifer centering in the preamp/gain control, then determines whether the interrupt signal is of the proper length in the interrupt circuit. If the interrupt is not the proper length, the process stops. If it is the proper length, the command is recognized as an activate command, and a data slicer compares the activate code to a prestored value. If the activate code matches the prestored value, the device is powered up. If they do not match, the device is not initiated.

    摘要: Apparatuses and methods for forming microelectronic assemblies are claimed. One embodiment of the invention includes a contact smart card wherein fluidic self assembly is used to build the microelectronic structures on the microelectronic assembly such that a contact smart data is transmitted unidirectionally. A contact smart card is inserted directly into a device that transfers data to a microelectronic assembly coupled to the smart card. Another embodiment of the invention relates to a contactless smart card in which fluidic self assembly is also used here to build the microelectronic assembly. Data is transmitted to an antenna that is embedded in the contactless card in which a plurality of blocks were deposited thereon.
