Abstract:
A wireless charging device includes: a base (422) configured to be worn by a user; and a coil (440) attached to the base (422) and comprising an electrically conductive material shaped to produce a magnetic field to convey power wirelessly to a receiver in response to receiving power, the coil (440) including multiple turns (446) each having a turn length with at least one of the multiple turns (446) having an adjustable turn length, the multiple turns (446) being disposed along a common axis such that each of the multiple turns (446) is disposed around the axis for the respective turn length of the turn.
Abstract:
An electronic apparatus may include an electrically conductive body configured to magnetically couple to a first magnetic field. A first tuning element may be connected to the electrically conductive body. An electrically conductive coil may be wound about an opening defined by the electrically conductive body, and configured to magnetically couple to a second magnetic field.
Abstract:
Methods and apparatus are disclosed for wirelessly transmitting power. In one aspect, an apparatus (402) for wirelessly transmitting power to power or charge a wireless power receiver is provided. The apparatus comprises a transmitter circuit (204) configured to transmit wireless power via a magnetic field sufficient to power or charge a load. The apparatus further includes a processor circuit (522) configured to determine a power level capability of the transmitter circuit. The apparatus further includes a communication transceiver circuit (532) configured to transmit a first communication to the wireless power receiver (406), the first communication including a request to adjust a power demand from a first power level to a second power level, the first power level being higher than the second power level. The second power level is commensurate with the power level capability of the transmitter circuit.
Abstract:
Techniques for reducing reflected reactance in a wireless power transfer system are provided. An example apparatus includes a resonant network including a variable reactance element, such that the resonant network is configured to resonate when the variable reactance element is at a resonant reactance value (C_R), a control circuit operably coupled to the variable reactance element and configured to determine a first reactance value (C_1) and a second reactance value (C_2), such that an output of the PRU is the desired output (V_1) when the variable reactance element is either the first reactance value (C_1) or the second reactance value (C_2), and the first reactance value (C_1) is below the resonant reactance value (C_R) and the second reactance value (C_2) is above the resonant reactance value (C_R), determine an indication of a source reactance associated with a wireless power source, and adjust the variable reactance element to either the first reactance value (C_1) or the second reactance value (C_2) based on the indication of the source reactance.
