    摘要: A power transmitter for wireless power transfer includes a control and communications unit configured to provide power control signals to control a power level of a power signal configured for transmission to a power receiver and including a pulse width modulation (PWM) signal generator for determining and selecting the operating frequency from the operating frequency range. The power transmitter further includes an inverter circuit configured to receive a direct current (DC) power and convert the input power to a power signal, coil configured to transmit the power signal to a power receiver, the coil formed of wound Litz wire and including at least one layer, the coil defining, at least, a top face, and a shielding comprising a ferrite core and defining a cavity, the cavity configured such that the ferrite core substantially surrounds all but the top face of the coil.

    摘要: A carry case for an electronics-enabled eyewear device, such as smart glasses, has charging contacts that are movable relative to a storage chamber in which the eyewear device is receivable. The charging contacts are connected to a battery carried by the case for charging the eyewear device via contact coupling of the charging contacts to corresponding contact formations on an exterior of the eyewear device. The charging contacts are in some instances mounted on respective flexible walls defining opposite extremities of the storage chamber. The contact formations on the eyewear device are in some instances provided by hinge assemblies that couple respective temples to a frame of the eyewear device.

    摘要: Wireless power receivers are described, which are used in conjunction with a wireless power transmission system. For instance, a wireless power receiver is provided comprising an antenna configured to receive wireless power signals from a wireless power signal transmitter. The antenna can be coupled to wireless power circuitry that delivers power based on the wireless power signals received by the antenna. Further, a module is provided that contains the wireless power receiver and couples to a device powered by the wireless power circuitry. Further, the module is configured to couple to the device in a fixed position that affixes an orientation of the antenna relative to the device.

    摘要: A battery module for a hearing device is configured for inductive resonance charging. The battery module has a secondary cell, a blocking sleeve that encloses the secondary cell and shields the secondary cell against a magnetic field, a jacket formed from permeable material outside the blocking sleeve, and an induction coil outside the jacket for receiving energy inductively. The induction coil and the jacket form a receiving antenna for receiving the energy. The material and/or the geometric structure of the blocking sleeve, the jacket made of permeable material, and/or the induction coil is/are additionally selected in such a way that the battery module, in particular the induction coil, has a quality factor of at least 35 for receiving energy at a predetermined value of a charging frequency that is employed by a charging device that generates a magnetic alternating field.
