Abstract: Described herein are techniques related to near field coupling and wireless power transfers. A device may include a cascaded coil antenna to include a first coil antenna that is connected in series with a second coil antenna. The first and second coil antennas are independent antennas prior to cascading and are located in different surfaces of the device to establish near field coupling through front side, top side, bottom side, or corner side of the portable device. Furthermore, a flux guide may be placed in the cascaded coil antenna to facilitate magnetic flux at the first coil antenna and the second coil antenna to induce current of the same phase during receive mode. During transmit mode, the flux guide facilitates the magnetic flux at the first coil antenna and the second coil antenna to generate magnetic fields of the same direction.

Abstract: Example wirelessly powered unmanned aerial vehicles and tracks for providing wireless power are described herein. An example apparatus includes a track section having a transmitter coil to generate an alternating magnetic field and an unmanned aerial vehicle having a receiver coil. The alternating magnetic field induces an alternating current in the receiver coil when the unmanned aerial vehicle is disposed in the alternating magnetic field.

Abstract: A sensor system can include a sensor coil and a sensor coupled to the sensor coil. The sensor coil can include coil portions that generate signals based on magnetic coupling induced in the coil portions by a receiving coil device (e.g., a NFC tag) and magnetic distortion induced in the coil portions by magnetic coupling of a power transmitting unit (PTU). The sensor can reduce the magnetic distortion induced in the first and the second coil portions by the PTU, detect the receiving coil device based the first and the second signals, and control the PTU based on the detected receiving coil device.

Abstract: Techniques for wirelessly charging small power receiving units are disclosed. An example power receiving unit includes a transportation mechanism to enable the power receiving unit to move and a wireless communication system that enables the power receiving unit to communicate with a plurality of other power receiving units. The power receiving unit is a master unit and the other power receiving units are nodes that take commands from the master unit. The power receiving unit also includes a controller to command the nodes to form a composite receive coil over a power transmitting unit and communicate with the power transmitting unit to start a charging session.
