Abstract: This disclosure provides systems, methods and apparatuses for a wireless power transmission apparatus to detect a fault of the wireless power reception apparatus. Various implementations relate generally to fault detection and mitigation in a wireless power system. In some aspects, a transmission (TX) controller of the wireless power transmission apparatus can detect a fault in the wireless power reception apparatus based on power transfer measurements or calculations in the wireless power transmission apparatus. The techniques may enable the wireless power transmission apparatus to detect faults such as an open circuit in the wireless power reception apparatus or a thermostat failure, among other examples. During the transmission of wireless power, the wireless power transmission apparatus may detect the fault and cease the transmission of wireless power.

Abstract: This disclosure provides systems, methods and apparatuses for preventing power transfer in a secondary coil of a wireless power reception apparatus. Some implementations relate generally to the use of one or more switches. In some implementations, the one or more switches may be coupled in series to one or both ends of the secondary coil. The one or more switches may be controlled based on a handshake communication between the wireless power reception apparatus and a compatible wireless power transmission apparatus. The one or more switches may be controlled using bias power from a wireless communication interface that is separate from a power reception circuitry that includes the secondary coil. The one or more switches may disable power transfer in the secondary coil to protect one or more components of the wireless power reception apparatus or to enable measurement of a coupling factor during measurement periods.

Abstract: This disclosure provides systems, methods and apparatuses for foreign object detection (FOD) in a wireless power transfer (WPT) system. Some implementations relate generally to the use of detection coils that are excited to measure and compare a differential current through a coil pair that includes at least two detection coils. A foreign object may cause a change in impedance for one or more detection coils compared to one or more other detection coils. By detecting the differential current of the coil pair, a detection apparatus may determine that a foreign object is in proximity to one of the detection coils of the coil pair. This disclosure provides several options for the design, construction, layout, and operations of detection coils to improve foreign object detection.

Abstract: This disclosure provides systems, methods, and apparatuses for wireless power reception. Various implementations relate generally to a wireless power reception apparatus including multiple secondary coils that receive wireless power from corresponding primary coils of a wireless power transmission apparatus. When a secondary coil receives power form a primary coil, they form a latched coil pair. Initially, the wireless power reception apparatus receives via a number of latched coil pairs. Coil pairs may de-latch as they physically move out of alignment. If one or more coil pairs de-latch, voltage may drop in the latched coil pairs. The wireless power reception apparatus includes a power controller that can detect drops in voltage resulting from de-latching coil pairs. In response, the power controller can modify current drawn from the remaining latched coil pairs. By modifying current drawn from the remaining latched coil pairs, the power controller can avoid system failure.
