Abstract: Some demonstrative embodiments include apparatuses, systems and/or methods of wireless power transfer. For example, an apparatus may include a wireless power controller to communicate between a Wireless Power Receiver (WPR) and a Wireless Power Transmitter (WPT) an indication of a requested amount of power to be provided from the WPT to the WPR via a wireless power signal, said indication is in the form of a load modulation event within a predefined time interval, said load modulation event comprises a change in a level of a magnetic field of said wireless power signal, a duration of said load modulation event is based on the requested amount of power to be provided from the WPT to the WPR.

Abstract: Disclosed is a wireless charging device for charging electronic devices placed within proximity of the transmitter of the wireless charging device. The wireless charging device includes an inductive coupler, a reflected power detector, a power source and a power control system. The inductive coupler is configured to charge at least one electronic device present in the charging area. The inductive coupler takes power form the power source. The inductive coupler is also capable of communicating with electronic devices being charged to exchange a set of information. In addition to notebook PCs, this solution can be extended to desktop and tablet PCs, slates and office furniture as pervasive means of wireless charging multiple devices.

Abstract: Two devices containing NFC radios may use some of the NFC components to permit one device to wirelessly charge a battery in the other device. Time sharing between the communication and charging, functions may allow the two devices to use the same frequency for both functions, without the charging, function causing interference in the communication function. One device may periodically transmit polls, with both a data exchange communication period and a charging period occurring between two successive polls. In some embodiments, a data exchange period using the NFC radios and a charging period using the charging circuitry do not overlap in time.

Abstract: Briefly, in accordance with an embodiment of the invention, an apparatus to extend communication range is provided. The apparatus may be coupled to a wireless local area network (WLAN) access point (AP) and may include at least one low noise amplifier, a power amplifier, and two circulators.

Abstract: A recording unit is incorporated into an electronic device to record an extent to which the electronic device is operated. In one embodiment, the recording unit is a code structure installed in a memory of the electronic device. The extent to which the electronic device has been operated can be interpreted based on information recorded on the electronic device by the recording unit. In one embodiment, the extent to which the electronic device has been operated is used to determine whether or not the electronic device is eligible for re-sale as a new product.
