Abstract: This document describes techniques and apparatuses directed at reducing inductive-charging power loss. In aspects, a mobile device includes a multi-layer flexible printed circuit board (FPCB) coil that forms a receiver coil having a Litz-wire structure. The FPCB coil includes a multi-trace bundle, having traces systematically routed throughout the different layers of the FPCB coil to reduce eddy current losses.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer-storage media, for improving wireless charging. In some implementations, an electronic device determines a power demand of the electronic device. The electronic device includes a wireless power receiver including a wireless power receiving coil configured to receive power through inductive coupling with a wireless charge. The electronic device determines an operating voltage or operating frequency for the wireless charger based on the power demand of the electronic device. The electronic device sends, to the wireless charger, data indicating the operating voltage or operating frequency for the wireless charger.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and techniques for safely controlling wireless charging in the presence of a foreign object are presented. A method includes determining a power difference between a power transmitted by a wireless charger and a power received by an electronic device, determining a level of misalignment of the electronic device with respect to the wireless charger; estimating an amount of power difference due to the level of misalignment of the electronic device with respect to the wireless charger, adjusting a power difference threshold for the wireless charger based on the estimated amount of power difference, and controlling operation of the wireless charger based on the power difference and the adjusted power difference threshold.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides for a wearable device having a wireless power receiving system that may inductively receive or transmit power. The wireless power receiving system includes a receiver coil having a profile that follows a contour of a bottom cover of the wearable device. A transmitter coil from a wireless charging device has a complementary profile that mates with the profile defined by the receiver coil. In one example, the wireless power receiving system includes a shielding, and a receiver coil attached to the shielding. The receiver coil further includes an inner wall and an outer wall connected by a top surface of a coil body. The inner wall defines a center opening in the receiver coil, wherein the receiver coil is conical in shape.

Abstract: A wireless charging receiver that includes a first coil, a second coil, and a nanocrystalline sheet is disclosed. The first coil is configured to be located within a recess in the nanocrystalline sheet and is positioned between the second coil and the nanocrystalline sheet. The first coil includes first and second terminals and the second coil includes third and fourth terminals. The first terminal is connected to the third terminal and the second terminal is connected to the fourth terminal to electrically connect the first coil to the second coil. The first coil may be formed of a flexible printed circuit board having a continuous trace or may be formed of litz wire. The first coil may be a hybrid coil with a first portion formed of a flexible printed circuit board having a continuous trace and with a second portion formed of litz wire.
