Abstract:
Method, apparatus, and computer program product example embodiments provide short-range communication based location finding. According to an example embodiment of the invention, a method comprises receiving, by a first transceiver of an apparatus mounted on a moveable platform, from a remote device, one or more wireless packets including information packets containing angle of arrival information from the remote device, wherein the moveable platform is in motion relative to the remote device; determining in the apparatus, at least a first angle of arrival from the received angle of arrival information; and generating distance estimation data in the apparatus relative to the remote device, based on the determined first angle of arrival.
Abstract:
A material contains a curable liquid polymer containing suspended nanoparticles capable of exhibiting a magnetic property. The nanoparticles are present in a concentration sufficient to cause the curable liquid polymer to flow in response to application of a magnetic field, enabling the material to be guided into narrow regions to completely fill such regions prior to the polymer being cured. A method includes applying a filler material to at least one component, the filler material including a heat curable polymer containing nanoparticles, and applying an electromagnetic field to at least part of the filler material. The nanoparticles contain a core capable of experiencing localized heating sufficient to at least partially cure surrounding polymer. Also disclosed is an assembly for use at radio frequencies. The assembly includes a substrate and at least one component supported by the substrate. The substrate contains a thermoplastic or thermoset polymer with suspended nanoparticles capable of exhibiting a magnetic property. The nanoparticles are of a type and have a concentration in the polymer selected to provide a certain dielectric permittivity, magnetic permeability and dissipation factor.
