US Patent:

20220376556, Nov 24, 2022

Filed:

Jul 18, 2022

Appl. No.:

17/866723

Inventors:

- Redmond WA, US
Philip L. Swan - Redmond WA, US

Assignee:

OSSIA INC. - Redmond WA

International Classification:

H02J 50/40
H02J 50/20

Abstract:

The embodiments described herein comprise a distributed wireless power transmission system including a plurality of wireless power transmission systems (WPTSs) coordinating transmissions to create a virtual WPTS. The plurality of WPTS coordinate amongst each other to compensate for local phase shift differences between respective clock sources so that transmissions from the WPTSs constructively interfere at a wireless power receiver client (WPRC).

Abstract:

An interface of a device facilitates a user in positioning, orienting or otherwise moving a wireless power receiver of the device (and/or the wireless power transmitter) to increase an amount, strength, efficiency, consistency, etc. with which power is received by the wireless power receiver from the wireless power transmitter. For instance, a device comprising a processor can obtain information indicating a motion applicable to the device to increase an amount of wireless power that a wireless power receiver is receiving from a power transmitter. A user interface of the device can then render the information such that when the device is moved according to the motion, the amount of wireless power that is being received by the device is thereby increased.

H02J 50/80

Abstract:

Modification of a state of a wireless power receiving device is disclosed. The modification of the state can be based on anticipated delay in a communication session. In an aspect, this can include a delay related to authenticating the wireless power receiving device to a wireless power transmission system or component thereof. In an aspect, this can provide for better control over which wireless power receiving devices have wireless power directed at them, which can be related to safety, reliability, subscription level, or other best practices. In some embodiments, wireless power receiving devices can receive a first level of wireless power in a current state, in a modified state, etc., while a second level of power can be directed to the wireless power receiving device upon a rule related to anticipated delay being satisfied, e.g., upon authentication, upon expiration of a sleep timer, determined subscription status, etc.

International Classification:

H02J 50/60
H02J 50/20
H02J 50/80

Abstract:

Proximity based wireless power transmission modification is disclosed. A proximity of an object to a region of higher energy density associated with wireless transmission of power can be determined. Based on the proximity, wireless power transmission can be modified. Modification can include suspending transmission, initiating transmission, increasing transmission power, decreasing transmission power, or changing a distribution of transmitted energy of the region. The modification of the wireless power transmission can change, based on the proximity of the object to the region that is the target of the wireless power transmission, an amount of exposure to energy encountered by the object. A characteristic of the object can also be determined and employed in determining the modification of the wireless power transmission.

Abstract:

An apparatus is described for supporting payloads at high elevations with respect to a planetary body. The apparatus comprises a bearing that encircles a portion of a planetary body. One ring of the bearing rotates and a coupling mechanism transfers centripetal forces to another non-rotating ring. Stays connect the non-rotating ring to the planetary body; and contribute a force that is in equilibrium with the centripetal and gravitational forces. A preferred embodiment is constructed and tested in the ocean encircling Antarctica and then raised to altitude. Its coupling mechanism employs magnetic forces and its stays are interwoven, partially supported and stabilized aeronautically, and anchored to southerly located towers that are affixed to bedrock. The machine's elevation is not supported by transferring forces to the surface through the inertia of precision-guided high velocity components, thus these components are not necessarily exposed to seismic activity, weather, or anomalous air traffic.
