Abstract: A signal generator generates an electrical signal that is sent to an amplifier, which increases the power of the signal using power from a power source. The amplified signal is fed to a sender transducer to generate ultrasonic waves that can be focused and sent to a receiver. The receiver transducer converts the ultrasonic waves back into electrical energy and stores it in an energy storage device, such as a battery, or uses the electrical energy to power a device. In this way, a device can be remotely charged or powered without having to be tethered to an electrical outlet.

Abstract: An array of ultrasonic transducers can be controlled to produce a steerable beam. Beam steering can be skewed by buffer delays in the distribution of a clock signal. The skew can be at least approximately linearized by distributing the clock signal in a diagonal fashion across an array of buffers corresponding to ultrasonic transducer controllers. Potential error in beam steering that can arise from clock skew can be corrected based on the linear tilt.

Abstract: Systems and techniques are provided for beamforming for wireless power transfer. A phase/amplitude map for a notional field in a plane of an aperture of the second wireless power transfer device may be determined. A Fourier transform may be performed on the phase/amplitude map for the notional field to generate a spatial frequency representation of the notional field. A phase/amplitude map for a second notional field in a plane of an aperture of the first wireless power transfer device may be determined based on the spatial frequency representation of the notional field and the position of the second wireless power transfer device. Control signals for transducer elements of the first wireless power transfer device may be generated based on the determined phase/amplitude map for the second notional field. The control signals for the transducer elements may be supplied to the transducer elements.

Abstract: An apparatus of the disclosure is directed to an elongated polygon-shaped transducer elastic layer having a first plurality of edges, a first plurality of vertices, and a first electrical connection at one of the first plurality of vertices. The apparatus includes an elongated polygon-shaped electrically active material layer having a second plurality of edges, a second plurality of vertices, and a second electrical connection at one of the second plurality of vertices, where the elongated polygon-shaped electrically active material layer is disposed on the elongated polygon-shaped transducer elastic layer to transform electrical excitation into a high-frequency vibration to produce ultrasonic acoustic emissions or transform received high-frequency acoustic vibration into electrical signals. The elongated polygon-shaped transducer elastic layer and the elongated polygon-shaped electrically active material layer may be hexagonal.

Abstract: An apparatus of the disclosure is directed to conical structure of an ultrasonic transducer. The conical structure may have a first circumference and a second circumference, respectively located at opposite ends of the conical structure, where the first circumference has a greater length than the second circumference. An angle may be formed between a plane including the second circumference and a surface of the conical structure, and a distance may be formed between the first and second circumferences. A rim may be coupled at or adjacent to the first circumference of the conical structure. An ultrasonic transducer may be coupled to the second circumference of the conical structure.
