20110164186 | DISTINGUISHING AND COMMUNICATING BETWEEN WHITE SPACE DEVICES TRANSMITTING ATSC-COMPATIBLE SIGNALS - White space signals are differentiated from licensed ATSC signals through modification of a waveform of the white space signal. White space signals may be modified by shifting the ATSC-compatible waveform so that the pilot frequency of the white space signal is at a location outside of the frequency range associated with the pilot frequency in a licensed ATSC signal or embedding a watermark signal into said ATSC-like white space signals. White space device transmitters generate the signals with these modifications and white space receivers are equipped to detect whether a pilot exists in the standard licensed pilot frequencies. Based on these differences, white space devices can better operate without interfering with licensed ATSC transmission. Additionally, the modification techniques may be used to embed data in the white space signal that may be used to communicate connection data or networking data to other white space devices. | 07-07-2011 |

This power can be used to provide power to the ICs to reduce overall power consumption by the electronic device. The harvested dissipated heat can be supplied to ICs in the electronic device to provide power to the ICs. Alternatively, or in addition, the harvested dissipated heat can be stored in an energy storage device to provide power to the ICs at a later time. | 09-11-2014 |
20150103051 | INFRARED TOUCH AND HOVER SYSTEM USING TIME-SEQUENTIAL MEASUREMENTS - A touch and hover-sensitive sensor system is provided.

The light guide may include light-turning arrangements that are configured to redirect light passing through a first side of the light guide from/along orthogonal directions within the light guide. A controller may illuminate proper subsets of the light sources; light that is emitted from the first side and that encounters an object, e.g., a fingertip, may be reflected back into the first side and then redirected to the light sensors. Depending on the light sensors that detect the highest redirected reflected light intensity and the active light sources, the controller may determine the XY/XYZ location of the object. | 04-16-2015 |
