20150145740 | Integrated Frequency Multiplier and Slot Antenna - A metal substrate with a slot therein forms a slot antenna, the slot having a major axis and a minor axis. A dielectric layer has a plurality of terminals disposed on or in the dielectric layer and the layer is attached on one surface of the substrate. The terminals of a non-linear device, such as a diode, are connected to corresponding terminals of the dielectric layer. The non-linear device is positioned proximate the slot and is substantially aligned with a minor axis of the slot. A transmission line feeds an RF signal to the non-linear device that in turn frequency multiplies the RF signal to an RF signal that is radiated by the slot antenna. The dielectric layer is positioned in the slot such that the radiated RF signal has a desired output power. A protective layer is applied to the other surface of the substrate to cover the slot. | 05-28-2015 |

20100324775 | Vehicle interaction communication system - The information available to a driver of a vehicle is greatly expanded using wireless communications (e.g., using Bluetooth wireless communication devices). In one embodiment, information regarding an adjacent vehicle such as a brake light, a turn light, speed, distance, direction, etc., is transmitted from one vehicle to a nearby or adjacent other vehicle. The received information is used in any appropriate manner, such as causing the receiving vehicle to change vehicle speed or brake, to turn to avoid a collision, etc. In a second embodiment, roadside wireless transceivers collect information regarding passing vehicles, and central database is compiled relating to a traffic conditions. The traffic condition information can be passed back to the passing vehicles for appropriate use, e.g., causing the driver to slow down, or even causing a navigation device in the receiving vehicle to manually prompt for or automatically recalculate a best route to an intended destination. In yet another embodiment, broadcast transmitters can be established at signs and other significant locations transmitting information to passing vehicles. The broadcast information may be as simple as indicating the existence of the sign, or depending upon the range of the particular wireless transmitter, the existence of a particular sign, bump in road, curve, etc., can be forewarned far in advance of when the driver will actually see the relevant object. Alternatively, the broadcast information may be quite detailed, e.g., containing a detailed itemization and directions to a large number of gas stations, restaurants, etc., reachable from a particular exit from a highway. | 12-23-2010 |
