Abstract: A system for providing power to devices from a magnetoelectric energy harvester can include a processor and a memory. The memory can store a rate analysis module and a controller module. The rate analysis module can include instructions that cause the processor to determine a rate at which an energy storage device bank stores energy received from a magnetoelectric energy harvester. The controller module can include instructions that cause the processor to cause, in response to an existence of a condition and the rate being: (1) greater than a power consumption rate of a first device, the first device to receive power from the energy storage device bank and (2) greater than a power consumption rate of a second device, but less than the power consumption rate of the first device, the second device to receive the power from the energy storage device bank.

Abstract: A circuit and methods describing a complementary metal-oxide semiconductor (CMOS) rectifier for use in radio frequency (RF) energy harvesting with body biasing by the RF input to control the threshold voltage of each transistor. The CMOS rectifier includes an energy harvesting antenna, and multiple rectifier stages. The antenna receives electromagnetic radiation from the environment and generates a DC current. The oscillating input current is an RF+ positive current during a first half cycle and is an RF− negative current during a second half cycle. A first rectifier stage includes a first capacitor connected to the RF+ positive current, a second capacitor connected to the RF− negative current and a cross coupled CMOS circuit connected to the antenna.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a mount featuring one or more sets of embedded magnets which are designed to engage with complimentary sets of magnets disposed either in a protective case for use with the mount, or in a mobile device contained within such a protective case. The mount includes a pin which is magnetically actuated to extend into a hole disposed in the protective case when the case and the mount are brought within a prescribed distance. Thus, the case and the mount “snap together” and are restrained from sliding relative to one another by the pin.

Abstract: A method includes selecting a power level from among available power levels at which to amplify a radio frequency (RF) signal using a power amplifier. The method includes providing the amplified RF signal to antennas. The antennas are caused to, upon receiving the amplified RF signal, radiate RF energy within a transmission field. The method includes determining predicted specific absorption rate (SAR) values of the transmission field and determining, based on the predicted SAR values, a keep out zone within the transmission field. The keep out zone is an area at which the predicted SAR values are greater than or equal to a predetermined SAR threshold of the transmission field. The method includes receiving, from sensors, an indication that an object is within the keep out zone. The method includes in response to receiving the indication, causing the antennas to cease radiating the RF energy.
