Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a system that uses a switch to convey wireless signals between a plurality of electronic devices interconnected by dielectric waveguides. In some embodiments, the system includes a plurality of electronic devices respectively having a transceiver element that generates a wireless signal that transmits a data packet. A switch receives the wireless signal from a first one of the plurality of electronic devices and re-transmits the wireless signal to a second one of the plurality of electronic devices. A plurality of dielectric waveguides convey the wireless signal between the plurality of electronic devices and the switch. Respective dielectric waveguides have a dielectric material disposed at a location between one of the plurality of electronic devices and the switch. Using the switch to convey wireless signals between the plurality of electronic devices provides a system that has a low wireless signal attenuation and reduced number of transceivers.

Abstract: A sensor may encode data using a first encoding scheme. The first encoding scheme may include encoding a data bit, included in the data, using a first chip sequence that corresponds to a first set of current levels. A second encoding scheme may be used by another sensor to encode other data. The second encoding scheme may include encoding a data bit, included in the other data, using a second chip sequence that corresponds to a second set of current levels. The first chip sequence and the second chip sequence being different chip sequences. The sensor may modulate a current, based on the first set of current levels, to provide the encoded data.

Abstract: Internal event verification is enabled in sensor bus systems. One example sensor bus system includes a channel master component and one or more channel slave components. A first subset of the channel slave components can include sensors that sense one or more properties (e.g., acceleration) associated with an event (e.g., crash) and output sensor data based on the one or more sensed properties. A second subset of the channel slave components can include channel verification components that can receive, decode, and analyze at least a portion of the sensor data, and output event data indicating whether an event occurred based on the analyzed portion of the sensor data. The channel master component can receive and decode the sensor data and the event data, and output information to a controller, which can send a signal to initiate a response (e.g., airbag deployment) when an event is detected and verified.

Abstract: Various methods and devices involving a slave device are discussed. The slave device, which may be without a clock input, receives a clock message and generates a clock based on the received clock message. In some embodiments, the slave device receives a further clock message and transmits a confirmation message simultaneously with receiving the further clock message. In other embodiments, determining a clock may comprise sampling the clock message with an internal system clock and providing the clock based on located edges. Other techniques are also discussed.
