Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20090140443Microstructure with Enlarged Mass and Electrode Area for Kinetic to Electrical Energy Conversion - A microstructure has a substrate, a fixed electrode having a plurality of fixed fingers fixed to the substrate, a movable electrode having a body (06-04-2009
20090284102System and Method for Resonance Frequency Tuning of Resonant Devices - Tunable vibration energy scavengers and methods of operating the same are disclosed. The disclosed energy scavengers comprise a beam with a main body, wherein the beam comprises at least one flap and means for changing a shape of the at least one flap, wherein the at least one flap is physically attached to the main body along a longitudinal side of the main body. The disclosed methods comprise tuning the shape of the at least one flap, thereby tuning the stiffness of the structure.11-19-2009
20100187835Electromagnetic Energy Scavenger Based on Moving Permanent Magnets - An electromagnetic energy scavenger (07-29-2010
20110074247Systems and Methods for Resonance Frequency Tuning of Micromachined Structures - A microstructure according to embodiments of the present invention comprises a substrate, and a resonant structure having a resonance frequency and comprising a seismic mass and suspension elements for suspending the seismic mass at two opposite sides onto the substrate. The substrate is adapted for functioning as a tuning actuator adapted for applying stress onto the suspension elements, thus changing the stiffness of the suspension elements. This way, the resonance frequency of the microstructure may be adapted to input vibration frequencies which may vary over time or may initially be unknown. By adapting the resonance frequency of the resonant structure, a suitable power may be generated, even in circumstances of variable input frequencies.03-31-2011

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20090077263METHODS AND APPARATUS FOR DATASET SYNCHRONIZATION IN A WIRELESS ENVIRONMENT - Methods, apparatus, systems, and computer program products are provided for wirelessly synchronizing datasets that are stored on a wireless device and at a network device, such as a network server or database. Present aspects provide for a simplified and efficient synchronization process, whereby synchronization can be completed in a single round-trip of wireless communication between the wireless device and the network device. Single round-trip synchronization provides for less use of network resources, shorter overall synchronization cycle times and lessens the likelihood of wireless network failures, such as call drops or the like, causing the synchronization process to fail. Additionally, simplification and efficiency are further realized by creating a synchronization process that allows the network dataset to be independent of the wireless device datasets, i.e., the network server does not require a full change history nor is the network server required to know the wireless device dataset version.03-19-2009
20110107107Multisigning - A Protocol For Robust Multiple Party Digital Signatures - Embodiments describe a system and/or method for multiple party digital signatures. According to a first aspect a method comprises establishing a first validity range for a first key, establishing a first validity range for at least a second key, and determining if the validity range of the first key overlaps the first validity range of the at least a second key. A certificate is signed with the first validity range of the first key and the first validity range of the at least a second key if the validity ranges overlap. According to another embodiment, signage of the certificate is refused if the first validity range of the first key does not overlap with the first validity range of the at least a second key.05-05-2011

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20100269156APPARATUS AND METHODS FOR PROVIDING AUTHORIZED DEVICE ACCESS - Methods, apparatus, and systems are described for providing an accessor device an access credential to interact with a device resource on an accessee device. An authorization entity having a trust relationship with the accessee device, or a linked subordinate authorization entity, generates the access credential. The access credential includes a modification detection indicator, at least one access privilege, and an accessor public key. The at least one access privilege corresponds to at least one device resource on the accessee device. The authorization entity forwards the access credential to the accessor device, which presents the access credential to the accessee device for authentication. Once authenticated, the accessee device grants access to one or more device resources, and controls requests to insure they are within the scope of the at least one access privilege.10-21-2010

20090136052Active Noise Cancellation Using a Predictive Approach - A method for active noise cancellation in a volume generates a mathematical model of a noise process to be cancelled. Using the mathematical model, a noise signal in a next sample period is predicted from a measured noise signal. The predicted signal is inverted and applied to the volume. Destructive interference of the noise signal and the inverted signal cancels the noise in the volume.05-28-2009
