  • Publication number: 20230336033
    Abstract: A device for inductively charging an electronic accessory includes a first portion, a second portion, and a spacer. The first portion includes a first transmission coil in a first plane where the first transmission coil is configured to generate a first magnetic field, and the second portion includes a first transmission coil in a second plane where the second transmission coil is configured to generate a second magnetic field. The spacer is positioned between the first transmission coil and the second transmission coil and between the first plane and the second plane. The spacer material magnetically insulates the second transmission coil from the first magnetic field.

  • Patent number: 11742698
    Abstract: A method of adapting the charging of an accessory device includes transmitting a first transmission signal at a first transmission amplitude, measuring a receiving load of the first transmission signal, and if the charging device does not receive a response signal to the first transmission signal, transmitting a second transmission signal at a second transmission amplitude that is different from the first transmission amplitude.
