Abstract:
This disclosure pertains to wireless-power transfer systems, and in particular (but not exclusively), to techniques to improve the coupling efficiency between a power transmitting unit and a power receiving unit within a computing system. The present disclosure includes a system which comprises a computing unit and a power transmitting unit adjacent thereto. The computing unit includes a system base, a conductive surface, and a power receiving unit. The conductive surface may have an opening that is adjacent to the power receiving unit and a slot extending from the opening towards the perimeter of the conductive surface. The system base may be coupled to the power receiving unit. The power receiving unit provides power to the system base.
Abstract:
Techniques for focusing the energy radiated by a wireless power transmitting unit are described. An example power transmitting unit includes a transmit coil configured to generate a magnetic field to wirelessly power a device within an active wireless charging area. The power transmitting unit also includes a power generating circuitry to deliver current to the transmit coil to generate the magnetic field. The power transmitting unit also includes a patch array disposed in parallel with the transmit coil to reduce the strength of the magnetic field at frequencies outside of the operating frequency during operation of the power transmitting unit.
Abstract:
Techniques for voltage regulation in a system, method, and apparatus are described herein. An apparatus for voltage regulation in a wireless power receiver may include a rectifier having an output voltage. The apparatus may also include voltage compensation logic including at least one capacitor to reduce voltage variation of the output voltage from the rectifier.
