Abstract: A method of providing power to an implant includes: transcutaneously receiving first power wirelessly from a source transmitter by a receiver of a power relay device, the receiver of the power relay device being disposed inside a biological body and closer to a skin of the biological body than the implant is to the skin of the biological body; converting the first power into second power that has a substantially different frequency than the first power, or is of different type of power than the first power, or both; and internally coupling the second power from a transmitter of the power relay device to the implant disposed within the biological body.

Abstract: Certain aspects of the present disclosure relate to methods and apparatus for reconfiguring wireless power resonator. Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide a wireless power resonator. The wireless power resonator includes a first section. The wireless power resonator further includes a second section electrically coupled and physically coupled to the first section. The second section is configured to be movable with respect to the first section while remaining both electrically coupled and physically coupled to the first section to change an effective area of the wireless power resonator.
