摘要： Techniques are disclosed involving reconfigurable coils. Such coils may be used in applications, including (but not limited to) wireless charging and near field communications (NFC). For instance, a reconfigurable coil may include a first conductive portion and a second conductive portion. Two or more configurations may be established. These configurations may correspond to particular current paths. For example, in a circular configuration, a path is provided having the same rotational sense in both first and second conductive portions. However, in a figure eight configuration, a path is provided having a first rotational sense in the first conductive portion and a second rotational sense in the second conductive portion. A switch coupled between these portions may set the coil's configuration. Configurations may be selected based on one or more operating conditions involving the coil.

摘要： Disclosed is a wireless charging device for charging electronic devices placed within proximity of the transmitter of the wireless charging device. The wireless charging device includes an inductive coupler, a reflected power detector, a power source and a power control system. The inductive coupler is configured to charge at least one electronic device present in the charging area. The inductive coupler takes power form the power source. The inductive coupler is also capable of communicating with electronic devices being charged to exchange a set of information. In addition to notebook PCs, this solution can be extended to desktop and tablet PCs, slates and office furniture as pervasive means of wireless charging multiple devices.
