    摘要: An aircraft has a first antenna arrangement, a payload and a processing unit. The first antenna arrangement is designed to wirelessly receive electromagnetic signals. The processing unit is coupled to the first antenna arrangement, on the one hand, and to the payload, on the other hand. The processing unit is designed to modulate an electromagnetic signal received by the first antenna arrangement and thereby to generate a first modulated signal and to forward it to the payload. The payload is designed to use the first modulated signal as working signal. A radiofrequency power signal on an uplink is thus remodulated into a payload working signal, such that the payload working signal is able to be used directly by the payload without rectification into a DC voltage.

    摘要: A contactless power feed apparatus 1 has a relay circuit 4 relaying power transmitted from a power transmission device 2 to a power reception device 3 in a contactless manner. The power transmission device 2 has: a transmission coil 12 transmitting AC power to the relay circuit 4. The relay circuit 4 has: a first coil 31, electromagnetically coupled with the transmission coil 12 and receiving the AC power from the transmission coil 12; a second coil 32, transmitting the AC power to the power reception device 3; and a resonant capacitor 33, resonating with the AC power supplied to the transmission coil 12 together with the first and second coils 31, 32. The power reception device 3 has: a resonant circuit 20, having a reception coil 21 receiving AC power from the second coil 32 by being electromagnetically coupled with the second coil 32 of the relay circuit 4.

    摘要: Eyewear and receptacles for housing such eyewear include components of a wireless power transfer system. The eyewear includes a receiver system for receiving power from a transmission system associated with the receptacle(s). The receiver system includes at least one receiver antenna, for receiving wireless power from the transmission system, and a repeater antenna for repeating the wireless power signal to the receiver antenna. The receiver antenna is positioned proximate to a first arm of the eyewear and the repeater is positioned proximate to a second arm of the eyewear. Positioning of the receiver and repeater antennas allows for positional freedom of the eyewear and/or the arms of the eyewear, when mechanically received by the receptacle.

    摘要: Disclosed herein is an antenna device that includes a first coil wound in a plurality of turns, and a second coil disposed outside the first coil as viewed in a coil axis direction of the first coil. The first coil is configured such that a first interval between turns in a first direction is larger than a second interval between turns in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction. An inter-coil distance between an outer edge of the first coil and an inner edge of the second coil is larger than the second interval as viewed in the coil axis direction.

    摘要: A system for wireless power networking, preferably including one or more nodes, such as transmit nodes, receive nodes, relay nodes, and/or hybrid nodes. The system may function to form a power network (e.g., mesh network) configured to transfer power wirelessly between nodes of the system. A method for wireless power networking, preferably including transmitting power, controlling relay nodes, and/or receiving power, and optionally including optimizing power network operation. The method is preferably performed at (e.g., by one or more nodes of) the system, but can additionally or alternatively be performed by any other suitable system(s).
