摘要: A wireless power transmitting device includes a surface adapted to support a container containing a wireless power receiving device and further includes a wireless power transfer coil positioned to couple with a wireless power receiving coil of the wireless power receiving device when the container is placed on the surface. The wireless power transmitting device detects a presence of the wireless power receiving device when the container containing the wireless power receiving device is placed on the surface and determines whether the wireless power receiving device permits wireless power transfer while it is inside the container. Using the wireless power transfer coil, the wireless power transmitting device wirelessly transmits power to the wireless power receiving device through the container to charge a battery of the wireless power receiving device, in accordance with determining the wireless power receiving device permits wireless power transfer while it is inside the container.

摘要: A wireless power system may use a wireless power transmitting device to transmit wireless power to a wireless power receiving device. The wireless power transmitting device may transmit wireless power at a wireless power transmission frequency. Wireless power signals at the wireless power transmission frequency can create interference with a sensitive electrical component in the wireless power receiving device when the wireless power transmission frequency lies in a sensitive frequency band associated with the component. Measurement circuitry in the wireless power receiving device can measure the wireless power transmission frequency. In response to determining that the wireless power transmission frequency lies in a sensitive frequency band, the wireless power receiving device may send an in-band wireless power level adjustment request to the wireless power transmitting device. The request causes a frequency adjustment that moves the wireless power transmission frequency out of the sensitive band.

摘要: A wireless power receiving device may have wireless power receiving circuitry with a coil and rectifier. The wireless power receiving circuitry receives wireless power signals and uses the rectifier to supply a corresponding output. The output is characterized by a current, a voltage, and a power equal to a product of the current and voltage. The output of the rectifier is supplied to a direct-current-to-direct-current power regulator integrated circuit, which supplies direct-current power to a system load and battery. A controller integrated circuit directs the power regulator circuit to dither the current while monitoring for a peak in the power. If the power regulator circuit dithers the current satisfactorily, the wireless power receiving circuitry may be operated at the peak power. If the power regulator circuitry does not dither the current in response to being directed to dither the current, a wireless power transmission level may be reduced.

摘要: A wirelessly locatable tag may include a first housing member defining a first exterior surface of the wirelessly locatable tag and an interior surface opposite the first exterior surface. The wirelessly locatable tag may further include a second housing member defining a second exterior surface of the wirelessly locatable tag a first antenna configured transmit the wireless signal using a first wireless protocol, a second antenna configured to communicate using a second wireless protocol different than the first wireless protocol, and an audio system. The audio system may include a magnet assembly configured to produce a magnetic field and a coil positioned within the magnetic field and coupled to the interior surface of the first housing member, the coil configured to interact with the magnetic field to impart a force on the first housing member, thereby moving a portion of the first housing member to produce an audible output.

摘要: An electronic device can include a battery bus, a load having a transient power requirement, and a transient power management circuit coupled between the battery bus and the load and configured to meet the transient instantaneous power requirement of the load while maintaining a minimum voltage on the battery bus. The transient power management circuit can include a boost converter coupled between the battery bus and a capacitor bank, and the load may be coupled to the capacitor bank. A control circuit may be configured to operate the boost converter to charge the capacitor bank. A control switch may be coupled between the boost converter and the capacitor bank, and the control circuit may be further configured to limit inrush current into the capacitor bank. Additionally, a state of charge of the battery may be estimated from a time required to charge the capacitor bank.
