摘要： An antenna system includes a first portion and a second portion. The first portion and the second portion form an antenna loop. The first portion may be etched on a printed circuit board. The second portion may be coupled with the first portion or extend from the first portion. The first portion and the second portion each may have one or more turns. Further, the second portion of the antenna loop resides in a three-dimensional geometric space that is different from the first portion of the antenna loop. The antenna system is particularly well suited for electronic devices having a confined internal space, for example, a cordless pointing device, a cordless gaining device, or a cordless camera device. A method for designing an antenna system is also disclosed.

摘要： A method and system for data wireless systems on computers, for using the same cable to bi-directionally transmit antenna signals as well as other signals to and from the inside of a shielded computer housing. An example of a control signal is a connect signal for establishing initial contact between the computer and a remote wireless device. An example of a control signal transmitted from inside the computer housing to the outside, is a signal for lighting an LED. Antenna signals are separated from the control signals based on differences between these signals, for example, differences in frequency. In one embodiment, a capacitor filters out a DC control switch signal, while the high frequency antenna signal is filtered by the normal input pin circuitry of a processor.

摘要： A control device includes a case having a bottom surface that has a front portion and a back portion; and a first friction pad and a second friction pad disposed on the front portion of the bottom surface. The first and second friction pads are configured to detect pressure from a user hand to power-up the control device. The first and second friction pads are also configured to detect the absence of the user hand and place the control device in a sleep mode based on the detection of the absence of the user hand.

摘要： An antenna circuit and matching technique that cancels the inductive reactance of an antenna and thereby reduces the reactive voltage of the antenna are provided. Serial tuning capacitors are inserted along the conductor of the loop antenna as often as necessary to achieve a negligible instantaneous level of reactance on the antenna. The loop antenna is broken up into loop segments, where each segment may or may not have a serial capacitor depending on the desired performance criteria. Each capacitor is selected so as to have a reactance that effectively cancels the inductive reactance of a portion of the loop segment preceding the corresponding serial capacitor. The advantage is that the instantaneous level of reactance on antenna stays nulled, and thus any reactive voltage difference between loop segments remains negligible, even with high current flowing inside the antenna. Parasitics such as ohmic losses, internal capacitive loss and capacitive loss to the external world are all reduced. Moreover, the selected serial tuning capacitors are placed along the antenna wire to effect an average reactive voltage of substantially 0 volts across the antenna. The antenna is thus balanced about GND. Principles of reciprocity regarding passive antennas apply, so both transmitting and receiving antenna configurations are applicable.

摘要翻译： 提供一种消除天线的感抗从而降低天线的无功电压的天线电路和匹配技术。 串行调谐电容器沿着环形天线的导线被插入，以便在天线上实现可忽略的瞬时电抗水平。 环形天线被分解成环路段，其中根据期望的性能标准，每个段可以具有也可以不具有串联电容器。 选择每个电容器以具有有效地抵消相应串联电容器之前的环路段的一部分的感抗的电抗。 优点是天线上的瞬时电抗水平保持为零，因此即使在天线内部流过高电流，环路段之间的任何无功电压差仍可忽略不计。 诸如欧姆损耗，内部电容损耗和对外部世界的电容损耗之类的损失都减少了。 此外，所选择的串行调谐电容器沿着天线布线放置，以实现天线基本上为0伏的平均无功电压。 因此天线平衡约GND。 无源天线的互惠原则适用，因此发射和接收天线配置都适用。

摘要： The present invention provides a wireless radio frequency ("RF") communications interface between peripherals and the host personal computer or workstation. In one embodiment, the present invention provides a wireless electronic mouse which uses an RF transmitter to transmit information unidirectionally to a receiver which is coupled to a host computer. This arrangement eliminates the need for a cable connection between the mouse and the receiver, while at the same time permitting continuous communication therebetween. The present invention also provides a method and apparatus to allow the receiver to differentiate between multiple RF wireless mice operating within the same transmission zone by a combination of providing a unique identification code to each transmitting mouse and allowing the user to choose from a plurality of transmission channels. The receiver then automatically switches to the channel selected by the user. The present invention can further receive transmissions from either one or two peripheral devices. In one device mode, the receiver filters out stray frequencies from other RF peripherals. In two device mode, the receiver has the ability to receive information from two RF peripherals, while filtering out other stray RF peripherals operating in the same transmission zone. This allows a user to use the same receiver for one peripheral, such as a mouse, for detailed work and another peripheral for other types of special applications, such as a pointing device for software presentations. The present invention further provides for a power consumption minimization method in the wireless peripheral.
