Wirelessly powered receiver system and sensors are described. In an embodiment, the power receiver system, includes an inductive coil that receives wireless power from an external transmitter, a capacitor bank that optimizes power transfer to an energy harvesting device, and a power-receiving frontend RF-DC rectifier with a periodically enabled closed feedback loop that adapts settings of the capacitor bank in real-time to adapt to changes on the inductive coil to maximize power transfer efficiency.

The present disclosure may provide a triboelectric generator equipped in an electronic device, the triboelectric generator including a power generating unit configured to generate electricity based on an ultrasound wave provided from outside, a first silicon layer arranged between an upper surface of the power generating unit and an inner surface of the electronic device, a second silicon layer arranged on a lower surface of the power generating unit, and a housing arranged to surround an outer periphery of the power generating unit, the first silicon layer, and the second silicon layer.

A method of monitoring heating of a hermetic package of an implanted transcutaneous energy transfer system (TETS) coil, the method includes monitoring a power transfer between the implanted TETS coil and an external TETS coil; detecting an amount of power lost during the power transfer; determining if the amount of power lost during the power transfer is above a first predetermined threshold; if the power lost is above the first predetermined threshold, determining if a misalignment between the implanted TETS coil and the external TETS coil is greater than a predetermined distance; and if the misalignment is greater than the predetermined distance, generating an alert to align the external TETS coil with the implanted TETS coil.

A battery-less, wirelessly powered localization system is described. In an embodiment, a wirelessly powered localization system, includes an external Tx antenna that generates a radio frequency (RF) signal that wirelessly powers a set of one or more localizers, an external Rx antenna that receives an output from the localizers, a localizer including: an Rx antenna that receives a radio frequency (RF) signal from an external Tx antenna, a passive four-stage full-wave CMOS rectifier that generates a DC voltage using the received RF signal, a low-dropout regulator that generates a stable DC voltage based on the rectifier-generated voltage, a frequency divider circuit to divide the frequency of received RF signal, and a Tx antenna that outputs an RF signal at the divided frequency to the external Rx antenna.
