Patent EP-3580811-A1 (EP)
Inventor: AU CHAD
IPC: H01Q1/22
Filed: 2018-03-13
Abstract: Systems and methods for providing temporary cell coverage using lighter than air reflectors. The system can include a balloon or airship (e.g., a blimp) with a reflective lower surface. A ground-based source antenna can be aimed at the balloon to bounce cellular, or other communications, signals off the balloon and then back to the ground. The system can provide additional wireless coverage and bandwidth in remote locations and/or areas of high demand. The coverage area of the system can be adjusted by changing the shape of the bottom surface of the balloon. The coverage area of the system can also be adjusted by changing the height of the balloon above the source antenna. A dedicated source antenna and balloon can also serve as a microwave backhaul antenna system for a temporary cell site, using a balloon with a reflective surface shaped to collimate the radio link in a desired direction.

Abstract: Sandwich-type lateral flow assay devices, systems, and methods described herein measure concentration of an analyte of interest in a sample, and can determine the precise concentration of the analyte when it is present at high concentrations. A signal of maximum intensity is generated when the concentration of analyte of interest in a sample is zero. For low concentrations of analyte, the lateral flow assays described herein generate signals that are the same as or substantially equivalent to the maximum intensity signal. High concentrations of the analyte of interest generate signals that are less than the maximum intensity signal. Lateral flow assays of the present disclosure solve drawbacks associated with the hook effect of sandwich-type lateral flow assays by eliminating the phase of the dose response curve where signals are increasing.

Abstract: An optical filter may reduce the frequency and/or severity of photophobic responses or for modulating circadian cycles by controlling light exposure to cells in the human eye in certain wavelengths, such as 480nm and 590nm, and a visual spectral response of the human eye. The optical filter may disrupt the isomerization of melanopsin in the human eye reducing the availability of the active isoform, whereas the attenuation of light weighted across the action potential spectrum of the active isoform attenuates the phototransduction cascade leading to photophobic responses. Embodiments of an optical filter are described. In one embodiment an optical filter may be configured to transmit less than a first amount of light in certain wavelengths, and to transmit more than a second amount of light weighted across the visual spectral response. Methods of use and methods of manufacturing optical filters are also described.

Abstract: Techniques are described for fast wakeup of a crystal oscillator circuit. Embodiments operate in context of a crystal oscillator coupled with a phase-locked loop (PLL). For example, prior to entering sleep mode, embodiments retain a previously obtained coarse code used to coarse-tune a voltage controlled oscillator of the PLL. On wakeup, the PLL is configured in a chirp mode, in which the retained coarse code and a sweep voltage are used to generate a chirp signal at, or close to, a target stimulating frequency for the crystal oscillator. The chirp signal can be used to inject energy into the crystal oscillator, thereby causing the crystal oscillator to move from sleep mode to steady state oscillation relatively quickly.
