Abstract: A system that includes a power transmitting antenna (124) with a coiled conductor defined by a first axis and a second axis perpendicular to the first axis, where a single plane comprises the first axis and the second axis. The system includes a support layer (140, 142) comprising: a substantially planar top surface and a substantially planar bottom surface opposite the substantially planar top surface arranged parallel to the plane. The support layer also comprises a material with a predetermined resiliency. The support layer is configured to support a mass of a user and maintain a predetermined spacing between the plane of the power transmitting antenna and the user during compression of the material from the mass of the user.

Abstract: The disclosure describes techniques to provide antennae configured to harvest radio-frequency (RF) energy from the nearby environment to provide electrical energy to an electrically powered device. Antennae may be configured in different shapes, lengths, locations, and materials to efficiently collect RF energy to be converted to electrical power. In some examples, RF energy may be harvested from existing sources, such as FM radio transmissions, communication transmissions such as Wi-Fi and BLUETOOTH, and similar existing sources. In other examples, antennae may be configured to collect energy from a source specifically designated to recharge the device. In some examples, the harvested RF energy may be sufficient to power the device. In other examples, the harvested RF energy may provide enough power to reduce the amount of recharging required by other means, such as by inductive recharging.

Abstract: Devices, systems, and techniques are described to detect when a power transmitting and receiving system is in an inefficient position, which may cause a thermal response that less desirable than a more efficient position. The system may power transmitting device configured to wirelessly transfer electromagnetic energy to a power receiving device. Processing circuitry of the system may compute a target output power deliverable by the power transmitting device for a first duration and control the power transmitting device to output the target output power based in part on a heat limit. The processing circuitry may further calculate an energy transfer efficiency to the power receiving unit, update an adjustment factor based on the calculated energy transfer efficiency, and apply the adjustment factor to the heat limit for a subsequent duration.

Abstract: Disclosed is a system for recharging a selected power source wirelessly, such as through a power transmission. The power source may be positioned within a subject and be charged wirelessly through the subject, such as tissue of the subject. A thermal transfer system is provided to transfer or transport thermal energy from a first position to a second position, such as away from the subject.

Abstract: A wireless power transfer system and devices that are configured to perform techniques to detect a single fault in primary processing circuitry by using second, independent processing circuitry. The techniques may include calculating and verifying an integrated output power dose. Verifying the integrated output power dose may include, for example, secondary processing circuitry calculating the integral of power delivered over a predetermined time duration and compares the calculated integral to an expected integral dose curve stored at a memory location accessible by the secondary processing circuitry. The detection techniques may also include determining a maximum output power profile. The secondary processing circuitry may receive a commanded output power target from the primary processing circuitry and compare the commanded output power to the maximum allowed output power vs. time.
