    Abstract: A wireless power transfer component with a selectively adjustable resonator circuit having a Q control subcircuit that varies the Q factor of the resonator circuit to control the amount of power relayed by the resonator circuit. The resonator circuit may be in the wireless power supply, the wireless power receiver, an intermediate resonator or any combination thereof. The resonator circuit may be actively configured based on a feedback circuit. The feedback circuit may sense a characteristic in the secondary circuit or elsewhere and actively operate the control subcircuit based on the sensed characteristic. The feedback circuit may cause the Q control subcircuit to change (reduce or increase) the Q factor when the sensed characteristic crosses a threshold value. The Q control subcircuit may include a variable resistor having a value that can be varied to adjust the Q factor of the resonator circuit.

    Abstract: A wireless power transfer system with a remote device having a communication transmitter configured to initiate communications with a framing pulse to prevent noise from being mistaken for legitimate data. The communication system may employ a bi-phase modulation scheme, and the framing pulse may be generated to present no transitions in the communication signal during a specified period of time. The communication transmitter may produce the framing pulse by applying a load in the remote device. The present invention also provides a method for transmitting communication signals in a wireless power supply system including the general steps of: (a) preceding each communication with a framing pulse configured to present a bit sequence that does not exist in legitimate data communications, (b) maintaining the framing pulse for a period of time sufficient to effectively "reset" the communications receiver and (c) transmitting communications following the framing pulse.

    Abstract: An item of print media including an inductive secondary for providing power to a load. The inductive secondary is responsive to an electromagnetic flux to generate a time-varying current or voltage therein. The current or voltage induced in the inductive secondary directly or indirectly powers the load to thereby enhance the functionality and/or the appeal of the item of print media without significantly adding to its cost. The load can provide a visual and/or auditory output, and can include an electroluminescent display, an e-ink display, a piezo speaker coil, an electrostatic speaker, an OLED, an LED or an LCD display. Embodiments of the invention can be utilized in connection with a wide variety of print media, including for example books, booklets, pamphlets, labels, magazines, manuals, brochures, maps, charts, posters, journals, newspapers or loose leaf pages.

    Abstract: A selectively controllable electromagnetic shield having an electromagnetic shielding material and a mechanism for selectively generating an aperture in the shield. The mechanism for selectively generating an aperture in the shield may be a magnetic field source that generates a magnetic field of sufficient strength to substantially saturate all or a portion of the shielding material. For example, a permanent magnet or DC electromagnet may be used to selectively saturate the shield. In its un-saturated state, the magnetic shield has a high permeability so that it draws much of the electromagnetic field into itself and functions as a flux path for the magnetic field. In effect, the shield directs the flow of much of the magnetic field through the shield so that the amount of the field passing from one side of the shield to the other is dramatically reduced. Once saturated, the permeability of the shield is substantially reduced so that the magnetic field lines are no longer drawn into the shield to the same degree. As a result, once saturated, the effectiveness of the shield in the saturated region is reduced and a substantially greater amount of the electromagnetic field may flow through or around the shield in the region saturated by the magnet.

    Abstract translation: 一种具有电磁屏蔽材料的选择性可控的电磁屏蔽和用于在屏蔽中选择性地产生孔的机构。 用于在屏蔽中选择性地产生孔径的机构可以是产生足够强度的磁场的磁场源,以使屏蔽材料的全部或一部分基本饱和。 例如,可以使用永磁体或直流电磁体来选择性地使屏蔽层饱和。 在其不饱和状态下,磁屏蔽具有高磁导率,使得其将大部分电磁场吸入其自身并用作磁场的磁通路径。 实际上,屏蔽件将大部分磁场的流动引导通过屏蔽件,使得从屏蔽件的一侧到另一侧的场的量大大减少。 一旦饱和,屏蔽层的磁导率显着减小,使得磁场线不再以相同的程度吸入屏蔽层。 结果,一旦饱和,屏蔽在饱和区域中的效能就会降低,并且在磁体饱和的区域内电磁场的数量可能会流过或围绕屏蔽。
