    摘要: Wireless power transfer systems, disclosed, include one or more circuits to facilitate high power transfer at high frequencies. Such wireless power transfer systems include a damping circuit, configured to dampen a wireless power signal such that communications fidelity is upheld at high power. The damping circuit includes at least a damping transistor that is configured to receive, from the transmitter controller, a damping signal for switching the transistor to control damping during transmission of the wireless data signals. Utilizing such systems enables wireless power transfer at high frequency, such as 13.56 MHz, at voltages over 1 Watt, while maintaining fidelity of in-band communications associated with the higher power wireless power signal.

    摘要: Described herein are systems and techniques for monitoring substances that are injected into an Earth formation whether that be CO2 from a carbon capture and storage (CCS) process, or water or steam injected for an enhanced oil recovery (EOR) process. Components located on an outside of a wellbore casing may be electrically isolated from components located on the inside of the wellbore casing. Data and/or power may be transferred through the wellbore casing wirelessly in order to increase the reliability of a data collection system because the need for wires to be placed on the outside surface of a wellbore casing is eliminated. The components located on the outside of the casing may receive electromagnetic (EM) or transmit EM fields as part of a system that collects data about substances that are injected into Earth formations during a CCS or EOR process.

    摘要: Systems, methods and apparatus for wireless charging are disclosed. A charging apparatus has an amplifier stage, a power switching stage and a controller. The amplifier stage has a choke that receives a current from an input of the amplifier stage, a resonant network coupled to an output of the choke and that provides an output current to a load, and a first switch configured to short the output of the choke to circuit ground when turned on. The power switching stage may be configured to couple a power supply to the input of the amplifier stage and may have a second switch operable to couple the input of the amplifier stage to circuit ground when turned on. The controller may be configured to control operation of the first switch and the second switch in accordance with a timing sequence that defines a cycle of the output current.
