Abstract: This disclosure describes a power unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) that may generate a current from a conductor of an overhead power line carrying an AC power signal. The power UAV has a receptor that includes a secondary coil. Current is generated by the secondary coil of the receptor from magnetic fields emanating from the overhead power lines while the power UAV is flying. The generated current may be used to fly the power UAV, recharge an energy storage device of the power UAV, or be provided to another UAV. In various implementations, while the power UAV is flying, the power UAV may receive another UAV, recharge the other UAV, and then release the UAV to resume flying. In various implementations, the power UAV may also monitor characteristics of the power delivery system.

Abstract: An antenna structure with a radio frequency (RF) circuit, an antenna carrier, and conductive material disposed on the antenna carrier and coupled to the RF circuit slot is described. The conductive material can radiate or receive first electromagnetic energy as a loop antenna in a first frequency band in a second order mode. The conductive material can include a first slot between portions of the conductive material and a second slot between other portions of the conductive material. The first slot or the second slot can radiate or receive second electromagnetic energy as a slot antenna at a second frequency band in a first order mode. The second frequency band can be higher than the first frequency band.

Abstract: A unified proximity sensor including multiple physically separated radio antenna structure for mobile electronic devices that senses proximity of a person to the antennae. Changes in capacitances of the antennae are detected based on a low frequency signal output by a single capacitance sensor. As a human body approaches any of the antennae, this capacitance increases. Based on the increase in capacitance, the transmission powers of radio signals emitted by the antennae are reduced.

Abstract: Antenna structures and methods of operating the same are described. One antenna structure includes a ground plane, a feed point, an antenna element, and a parasitic element. The feed point can be coupled to the antenna element and can receive a signal to cause the antenna structure to radiate electromagnetic energy. The antenna element includes: a first portion that extends in a first direction from the feeding point at the RF feed; a second portion that extends from a distal end of the first portion; a third portion that extends from a side of the second portion; a fourth portion that extends from the third portion; and a fifth portion that extends from the fourth portion. The parasitic element includes: a sixth portion that extends from the fourth portion; and the seventh portion that extends from the sixth portion to the ground plane.

Abstract: Dual-band antenna structures and methods of operating the same of an electronic device are described. One apparatus includes a radio frequency (RF) feed and a dual-band antenna structure coupled to the RF feed at a feeding point and coupled to a ground plane at a grounding point. The structure includes a first loop antenna and a second loop antenna, both coupled to the feeding point and the grounding point. The first loop antenna radiates electromagnetic energy in a first resonant mode in a first frequency band and the second loop antenna radiates electromagnetic energy in a second resonant mode in a second frequency band and radiates electromagnetic energy in a third resonant mode in the first frequency band. Surface currents create three or more hot spots of magnetic field.

Abstract: Systems and methods for addressing an inadvertent decrease in transmission energy/power due to triggering a proximity sensor by a cover disposed on a computing device. In an embodiment, a cover sensor may be incorporated into the device. The cover sensor may be used to detect the presence of a cover on the device, as well as whether the cover is in an open or closed position. The output of the cover sensor may then be used to adjust a trigger/proximity threshold of the proximity sensor to account for the presence and position of the cover on the device. In this manner the device may avoid unnecessary power backoff caused by proximity of the cover, rather than proximity of the user. This improves the over the air (OTA) performance of the device, as well as the user experience.

Abstract: An antenna to communicate at a defined frequency; a feed point; and a near-field coupler array coupled to the feed point is described. The near-field coupler array may include a substrate; a ground plane on a first side of the substrate; and a near-field coupler array disposed on a second side of the substrate. The ground plane may include a first aperture and a second aperture. The near-field coupler array can include a first coupler element aligned with the first aperture and a second coupler element aligned with the second aperture. A first width of the first coupler element can be larger than a second width of the first aperture. A third width of the second coupler element can be larger than a fourth width of the second aperture. The first width and the third width can have a correlation to the defined frequency.
