Ambient Announces Award of Newest Patent to Its Portfolio; Six New Claims Awarded on Inductive Coupling Technology.BOSTON -- Ambient Corporation (OTCBB OTCBB See OTC Bulletin Board (OTCBB). : ABTG ABTG AquaBio Tech Group ), a leader in Broadband over Power Lines Using the electric utility to provide Internet access. Also called "power line communications" (PLC), high-frequencies carrying data are superimposed over the low-frequency waves on the electrical transmission lines. (BPL See broadband over power lines. ) solutions, announced today the addition of its fifth and newest patent to its growing patent portfolio. The U.S. Patent and Trademark Office issued Patent Number 6,897,764, 'Inductive Coupling of a Data Signal for a Power Transmission Cable.' A distribution transformer is an obstacle to the utilization of an existing electrical distribution system for high-speed data communications data communications, application of telecommunications technology to the problem of transmitting data, especially to, from, or between computers. In popular usage, it is said that data communications make it possible for one computer to "talk" with another. . Ambient's Patent Number 6,452,482, issued in September 2002, covers the coupling of data signals to power transmission cables, so as to bypass distribution transformers. The newly granted Patent Number 6,897,764 is a continuation of Patent Number 6,452,482. In accordance with the new claims awarded, Ambient's inductive coupling In electronics, inductive coupling refers to the transfer of energy from one circuit component to another through a shared magnetic field. A change in current flow through one device induces current flow in the other device. technology is well-suited for connecting and extending backhaul data connections on medium voltage utility lines. "This new patent is a significant addition to our existing patent portfolio. The new claims facilitate and augment the implementation of many important network topologies for distributing high speed backhaul feeds throughout a utility's grid system," noted inventor Dr. Yehuda Cern, Ambient's Chief Engineer.
