CONTROLLED WIRELESS CHARGING IN AN ELECTROMAGNETICALLY SHIELDED ENVIRONMENT
The technology is generally directed towards wireless power charging of one or more receiver devices within a container that is electromagnetically shielded with respect to the frequency or frequencies used for the wireless charging. A controller determines, via signaling from one or more sensors, that the container is in the electromagnetically shielded state with respect to emitting external radiation at the charging frequency or frequencies. When electromagnetically shielded, the controller controls the output power state of a wireless power transmitter device to charge the one or more receiver devices. The controller can determine when to stop the charging of a receiver device, such as when sufficiently charged. The controller and wireless power transmitter device can charge the one or more receiver devices selectively, e.g., based on which one needs more charge or other criterion. The controller can obtain and externally communicate the state of charge of the receiver device(s).
THERMAL TRANSFER SYSTEM AND METHOD
Disclosed is a system for recharging a selected power source wirelessly, such as through a power transmission. The power source may be positioned within a subject and be charged wirelessly through the subject, such as tissue of the subject. A thermal transfer system is provided to transfer or transport thermal energy from a first position to a second position, such as away from the subject.
FLEXIBLE RECHARGER WITH INTEGRATED ELECTRONICS
A wireless power transfer system in which the driver and control circuitry are located within the electromagnetic field of the power transmission antenna, e.g., a charging coil. The power transfer system may be contained in a flexible housing, which change shape using one or more hinges, be formed of a conformable material and so on. Changes in the relative location of the antenna and the circuitry may cause interference in the circuitry and loading of the antenna, which in turn may impact the electromagnetic field output by the antenna. The wireless power system may include sensors that provide an indication of an amount of deformation of the system. The driver circuitry of this disclosure may receive an indication of the relative location of the circuitry to the antenna and compensate for changes in the output electromagnetic field caused by changes in the relative location.
