Wireless energy transmission is a key element in Contactless HF Communication Technologies, such as radio frequency identification or near field communication (NFC). This power aspect differentiates the technology from conventional wireless communication. The authors consider the circuit model as a lumped-element description with a coupled-transformer field model to formulate a representation of the problem and include the orientation of the magnetic field in planar space. The authors propose a novel computational model to reveal the dynamics of energy transfer can be represented as a set of forces projected by the oscillator at the interface of free-space. Finally, a highfrequency finite-element simulation based on the authors' model is used to solve a practical problem of two coupled elliptical spiral-loop antennas of a credit-card size, where the authors consider their contribution in the context of NFC.

The need for customizable properties in autonomous robotic platforms, such as in-home nursing care for the elderly and parallel implementations of human-to-machine control interfaces creates an opportunity to introduce methods deploying commonly available mobile devices running robotic command applications in managed code. This paper will discuss a human-to-machine interface and demonstrate a prototype consisting of a mobile device running a configurable application communicating with a mobile robot using a managed, type-safe language, C#.NET, over Bluetooth.

Although the problem of a critique of robotic behavior in near-unanimous agreement to human norms seems intractable, a starting point of such an ambition is a framework of the collection of knowledge a priori and experience a posteriori categorized as a set of synthetical judgments available to the intelligence, translated into computer code. If such a proposal were successful, an algorithm with ethically traceable behavior and cogent equivalence to human cognition is established. This paper will propose the application of Kant's critique of reason to current programming constructs of an autonomous intelligent system.

This document is written with the intention to describe in detail a method and means by which a computer program can reason about the world and in so doing, increase its analogue to a living system. As the literature is rife and it is apparent we, as scientists and engineers, have not found the solution, this document will attempt the solution by grounding its intellectual arguments within tenets of human cognition in Western philosophy. The result will be a characteristic description of a method to describe an artificial system analogous to that performed for a human. The approach was the substance of my Master's thesis, explored more deeply during the course of my postdoc research. It focuses primarily on context awareness and choice set within a boundary of available epistemology, which serves to describe it. Expanded upon, such a description strives to discover agreement with Kant's critique of reason to understand how it could be applied to define the architecture of it...

This paper will discuss the role of an artificially-intelligent computer system as critique-based, implicit-organizational, and an inherently necessary device, deployed in synchrony with parallel governmental policy, as a genuine means of capturing nation-population complexity in quantitative form, public contentment in societal-cooperative economic groups, regulatory proposition, and governance-effectiveness domains. It will discuss a solution involving a well-known algorithm and proffer an improved mechanism for knowledge-representation, thereby increasing range of utility, scope of influence (in terms of differentiating class sectors) and operational efficiency. It will finish with a discussion of these and other historical implications.

ABSTRACT Modern methods of spawning new technological motifs are not appropriate when it is desired to realize artificial life as an actual real world entity unto itself (Pattee 1995; Brooks 2006; Chalmers 1995). Many fundamental aspects of such a machine are absent in common methods, which generally lack methodologies of construction. In this paper we mix classical and modern studies in order to attempt to realize an artificial life form from first principles. A model of an algorithm is introduced, its methodology of construction is presented, and the fundamental source from which it sprang is discussed.

A pair of circular loops of the same radius set at a distance form a closed induction circuit. Coupled to a capacitor, these loops form a resonant circuit wherein energy is transported from one to the other. When a current is introduced into one of the loops, it is received by its companion. This is due to the propagation of magnetic waves through the medium, in this instance, atmospheric air of a characteristic impedance

Diagrammatic models of feeding choices reveal fundamental robotic behaviors. Successful choices are reinforced by positive feedback, while unsuccessful ones by negative feedback. This paper will address robotic feeding by casually relating consequential behavior subtended by a strong dependence upon survival.

Power delivery for biomedical implants is a major consideration in their design for both measurement and stimulation. When performed by a wireless technique, transmission efficiency is critically important not only because of the costs associated with any losses but also because of the nature of those losses, for example, excessive heat can be uncomfortable for the individual involved. In this study, a method and means of wireless power transmission suitable for biomedical implants are both discussed and experimentally evaluated. The procedure initiated is comparable in size and simplicity to those methods already employed; however, some of Tesla’s fundamental ideas have been incorporated in order to obtain a significant improvement in efficiency. This study contains a theoretical basis for the approach taken; however, the emphasis here is on practical experimental analysis.

This paper will propose a method and means of applying non-thermal radio-frequency waves to the human body via the skin. The author proposes the reason for this would be to improve cell health and by dendrite growth and synaptic boutons which suggest the multiplicity of connections between an axion and its synapse and other neurons. These improved and multiplied connections serve in recovery of patients with neurodegenerative diseases and damage caused by strokes by helping the neural system reroute connections, due to the presence of a compatible and high-quotient energy allowing replication of cells and growth of new pathways.

A resonant transmitter–receiver system is described for the wireless transmission of energy at a useful distance for grid-coordinate power and information. Experimental results are given showing delivery of power of an unmodified Tesla resonator contrasted with a modified version achieving improved efficiency over a 4 m range. A theoretical basis is provided to back up the experimental results obtained and to link the study with previous research in the field. A number of potential routes are suggested for further investigations and some possible applications of the technology are considered

This thesis will focus primarily on two main concepts: context awareness and choice in artificial systems limited by a fluid yet rigorous epistemology. I argue this will allow the strongest adaptation mechanism in an artificial entity. I will present this argument by giving a background of the problem, illustrating different points of view, and reveal a method which can generate tangible experiments to understand the scope of the problems currently in artificial life and machine consciousness.

This work involves investigation of a type of wireless power system wherein its analysis will yield the construction of a prototype modeled as a singular technological artifact. It is through exploration of the artifact that forms the intellectual basis for not only its prototypical forms, but suggestive of variant forms not yet discovered. Through the process it is greatly clarified the role of the artifact, its most suitable application given the constraints on the delivery problem, and optimization strategies to improve it. In order to improve maturity and contribute to a body of knowledge, this document proposes research utilizing mid-field region, efficient inductive-transfer for the purposes of removing wired connections and electrical contacts. While the description seems enough to state the purpose of this work, it does not convey the compromises of having to redraw the lines of demarcation between near and far-field in the traditional method of broadcasting. Two striking scenarios are addressed in this thesis: Firstly, the mathematical explanation of wireless power is due to J.C. Maxwell’s original equations, secondly, the behavior of wireless power in the circuit is due to Joseph Larmor’s fundamental works on the dynamics of the field concept. A model of propagation will be presented which matches observations in experiments. A modified model of the dipole will be presented to address the phenomena observed in the theory and experiments. Two distinct sets of experiments will test the concept of single and two coupled-modes. In a more esoteric context of the zero and first-order magnetic field, the suggestion of a third coupled-mode is presented. Through the remaking of wireless power in this context, it is the intention of the author to show the reader that those things lost to history, bound to a path of complete obscurity, are once again innovative and useful ideas.

The principal features of coupled mode theory are reviewed, in particular as applied to passive structures, such as coupled resonators and coupled waveguides. The former are examples of coupling of modes in time, the latter are examples of coupling of modes in space. Active structures are considered briefly insofar as they obey conservation laws in terms of positive and negative energies. The complications caused by nonorthogonality of the mode energies, or powers, are brought up. These were the topic of recent publications. The coupling of modes formalism has intuitive appeal in that the coupling equations in their simplest form can be written down by inspection. When '%ne points" as, for instance, cross talk are at issue, then more formal derivations are required. The one presented here is based on a variational principle.

An interesting paper by  W.E. Sumpner (1865-1940) with a unique perspective into computation of energy stored and transmitted by wave phenomena. This paper also addresses the problem of measurement of power that had consumed his work in the period 1891-1895. Peripherally, it addresses concerns about proofs of electrodynamics first espoused by Wilhelm Weber.

Pamphlet which states Edward Leedskalnin (1887-1951) as being the author of this interpretation of magnetism. I cannot verify the authenticity of this document and posit judgement is reserved solely for the reader. I obtained it from a donkey network in the early 2000s. My opinion is that it could be more or less of Leedskalnin's typewriter and novel illustrations, for whom else would go to the efforts of describing the phenomenon of magnetism in this way, only to be deceptive by not taking credit? What is further interesting is the document was first typed up, then pages were added later. I've personally done some thought experiments the drawings inspire and I must say there is some substance here.
