Abstract:
Configurations and methods of wireless power transmission for charging or powering one or more electronic sensors or devices within a vehicle are disclosed. Wireless power transmission for powering or charging one or more electronic sensors or devices within a vehicle may include a transmitter capable of emitting RF waves for the generation of pockets of energy; and one or more electronic sensors or electronic devices operatively coupled or otherwise embedded with one or more receivers that may utilize these pockets of energy for charging or powering. Such sensors or electronic devices may range from tire pressure gauges, security alarm sensors, rear window defrosters to audio speakers.
Abstract:
The present disclosure provides a method for improving battery life of electronic devices such as Bluetooth headsets, smart-watches among others running on small batteries, for example coin batteries. The method may include wireless power transmission through suitable techniques such as pocket-forming, while including receivers and capacitors in the aforementioned devices. Wirelessly charged capacitors may provide sufficient power on which devices may run, and thus, battery life of such electronic devices may be enhanced.
Abstract:
A wireless power transmission method may employ pocket forming in combination with one or more reflectors for redirecting the formation of pockets of energy towards one or more locations or electronic devices of interest. A transmitter can be purposely aimed at the reflector which can then redirect the transmitted RF waves towards a receiver embedded or operatively coupled to the electronic device. These reflectors can be installed in the room ceiling, walls, or floor, in relation to the position of the transmitter and the electronic device. Reflectors can be made of metallic materials capable of reflecting RF waves and can exhibit various configurations, shapes, sizes and surface textures, according to the application.
