Abstract: The invention relates to an apparatus (1) for impedance measurement of an external substance, said apparatus comprising a plurality of resonant circuits with respective coil elements (3a, 3b, 3c, 3d) and respective capacitive elements (5a, 5b, 5c, 5d), said resonant circuits operating at different resonant frequencies. The signals (S1, S2, S3, S4) from the resonant circuits are detected by an ampere meter (6). The power loss experienced by the resonant circuits due to an electromagnetic interaction with a conductive body is reflected in a change in the magnitude of respective signals. By detecting the signal (S1, S2, S3 or S4), the power loss by the resonant circuit is determined. The resonant circuit is preferably integrated into an insulating fabric carrier (2). The invention further relates to a vital sign measurement system and a method of enabling an impedance measurement.

Abstract: A wireless resonant powering device 1 according to the invention comprises a first inductor winding 3, which is arranged to form a transformer 9 with the inductor winding 13 of the energizable load 11. The first inductor winding 3 is arranged to form a resonant circuit 5, which may comprise a suitable plurality of electric capacitances and coils. The components of the resonant circuit 5 are selected such that the magnetic energy received by the inductor winding 13 damps the energy flow in the resonant circuit so that the induced voltage in the inductor winding 13 is substantially constant and is independent of the magnetic coupling between the first inductor winding 3 and the inductor winding 13 at the operating frequency of the driving means 6. The resonant circuit is driven by the driving means 6, comprising a control unit 6c arranged to induce an alternating voltage between a first semiconductor switch 6a and a second semiconductor switch 6b. At the output of the transformer 9 an alternating voltage is generated, which is rectified to a DC-voltage by a diode rectifier, filtered by an output capacitance. The resonant circuit 5 is operable on its coupling independent point by the driving means 6. This figure schematically illustrates a situation, where a variable coupling between the first inductor winding 3 and the inductor winding 13 exists. The invention further relates to a wireless inductive powering device, an energizable load, a wireless system and a method for wireless power transfer.
