Antennas Embedded In The Front Frame Of Smart Glasses, Joshua Moore, Josh Tiffin

Defensive Publications Series

Ergonomic head-up display is enabled by reliable, low latency, radio frequency (RF) communication between smart glasses and smartphones. The form factor of antennas on head-worn frames is impacted by the proximity of the frame to the human head and by cross-body interference. In addition, the large bandwidth required on the glass-to-phone link entails the use of multiple antennas, limiting the space available to route signals. The presence of antennas also restricts the choice of material for the front frames. This disclosure describes a multi-element, front-frame structure for smart glasses that enables metallic front-frame materials that enable superior cosmetic, structural, and …

Thermal Interface Material Of High Conductivity And Thermomechanical Reliability, N/A

Defensive Publications Series

Heat exchange in printed circuit boards is enabled by the thermal interface material (TIM) between the heat source (silicon die) and the heat sink (copper cold plate). While solder-based TIMs have high thermal conductivity, they can melt during reflow procedures, leading to reliability problems. Polymer TIMs are pliant and stay in place through reflow procedures; however, their thermal conductivity is substantially lower than solder TIMs.

This disclosure describes techniques to apply solder and polymer TIMs in a composite manner that leverages their complementary properties - the high thermal conductivity of the solder TIM and the higher reliability of the polymer …

Active Capacitors To Supply Surges In Power Demand, N/A

Defensive Publications Series

To control thermal runaway in PCIe, SATA, and similar interfaces, the maximum drawable power from a slot is limited. The increasingly bursty load (including CPUs, ASICs, motors on HDDs, etc.) on the PCIe/SATA slot demands such power that the electrical design power (EDP) can be much larger than thermal design power (TDP). When this happens, the slot power specification can limit the performance of the load, and the datacenter power supply design needs to be overprovisioned for the EDP, if it can last long enough. This disclosure describes techniques of local energy storage that enable riding through EDP power excursions …
