A group of 27 patents awarded to Apple on Tuesday includes a patent for a docking station that could offer inductive charging and a "reradiating antenna" that could improve the cellular signal of a ...

That’s an interesting question, and the answer is beyond my knowledge of RF engineering, so I reached out to Neeraj Sood, a researcher at the University of Toronto and a member of McMaster ...

Everyone loves wireless power these days, almost vindicating [Nikola Tesla’s] push for wireless power. One reason why transmitting electricity this way is a terrible idea is the massive losses ...

Another batch of newly granted Apple patents were published today by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, and then detailed by Patently Apple. Perhaps the most notable is one for an inductive ...

The first passive transponders powered by incoming RF date back to the early 1970s, as does the vision for most of today’s manifold RFID applications. Yet only with advances in semiconductor ...

The manufacturing industry is being asked to manage product lifecycle more precisely and efficiently, in part due to legislation on the disposal of home electronic equipment. Systems for tracking a ...
