Publication number: 20230059432Abstract: An electronic device (that is capable of both transmitting and receiving wireless power) may be physically and inductively coupled to a removable accessory (that only receives wireless power). The electronic device and removable accessory may optionally be placed on a power transmitting device. In response to the electronic device and removable accessory being placed on a wireless power transmitting device, the electronic device may switch from a power transmitting mode (in which the electronic device transmits wireless power to the removable accessory) to a power receiving mode (in which the electronic device receives wireless power from the wireless power transmitting device). To ensure the electronic device detects the wireless power transmitting device and switches to the power receiving mode in this scenario, the electronic device may transmit wireless power in bursts separated by sleep periods while in the power transmitting mode.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 28, 2021Publication date: February 23, 2023Inventors: Lixin Shi, Weihong Qiu, Zelin Xu, Zaki Moussaoui, Matthew J.

Patent number: 11336116Abstract: A wireless charging system is configured to charge one or more receiver devices simultaneously. The wireless charging system includes multiple coils that may be driven independently based on a feedback system with one or more feedback channels. One of the feedback channels may be a voltage and/or current measurement of coil driving signals from the coils that are indicative of receiver device presences on the wireless charging system. A coil driving signal may be sampled and processed using discrete Fourier transform to determine amplitude and phase information of the signal.Type: GrantFiled: January 30, 2020Date of Patent: May 17, 2022Assignee: AIRA, INC.Inventors: William Paul Abajian, Jules Marie Xavier Laffitte, John MacDonald, Viswajit Natarajan, Lixin Shi, Jake Lee Vander Ploeg, Xiaoping Zhu

Patent number: 11336117Abstract: A wireless charging system is configured to charge one or more receiver devices simultaneously. The wireless charging system includes multiple coils that may be driven independently based on a feedback system with one or more feedback channels. One of the feedback channels may be demodulated communication signals from the one or more receiver devices. The demodulation may be performed by a communication demodulation circuit with configurable gain. The demodulated communication signals are processed for error correction at a bit level and a packet level, which improves accuracy despite presence of multiple receiver devices and noisy conditions.Type: GrantFiled: January 30, 2020Date of Patent: May 17, 2022Assignee: AIRA, INC.Inventors: William Paul Abajian, Jules Marie Xavier Laffitte, John MacDonald, Lixin Shi, Jake Lee Vander Ploeg, Xiaoping Zhu

Patent number: 11031817Abstract: A wireless charging system is configured to charge one or more receiver devices simultaneously. The wireless charging system includes a plurality of coils for wireless charging the one or more receiver devices. The wireless charging system may use a machine learning algorithm to detect the one or more receiver devices and select which of the multiple coils to activate for charging the multiple coils. Based on measurements made from signal through the coils within the wireless charging system, the machine learning algorithm determines a subset of the coils to activate for charging the detected one or more receiver devices.Type: GrantFiled: January 30, 2020Date of Patent: June 8, 2021Inventors: William Paul Abajian, Jules Marie Xavier Laffitte, John MacDonald, Viswajit Natarajan, Lixin Shi, Xiaoping Zhu

Publication number: 20190156985Abstract: A tunable inductor has a first magnetic core and a second magnetic core wound with a direct current (DC) winding and an alternating current (AC) winding. A first portion of the AC winding is wound around a first portion of the first magnetic core, and a second portion of the AC winding is wound around a first portion of the second magnetic core. The DC winding is wound simultaneously around the first magnetic core and the second magnetic core in a second portion that does not overlap the first portion of the first magnetic core and the second magnetic core. The DC winding is connected to a DC control circuit that applies a DC voltage to control permeability of the first magnetic core and the second magnetic core, which allows inductance value of the tunable inductor to be adjusted.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 20, 2018Publication date: May 23, 2019Inventors: Nikola Popov, Lixin Shi

Patent number: 9674301Abstract: Methods, devices and systems for facilitating a connection are described. In one aspect, a method for facilitating a connection between a public internet protocol (IP) address allocated remote management server (RMS) and private IP address allocated customer-premises equipment (CPE) devices that are serviced by a home gateway device (HGD) is described. The CPE devices are located within a different type of network than the RMS. The HGD implements the method which includes: receiving, from an operation support system, a request to download a service module stored on a storage server, the request including an identifier associated with a CPE device; in response to receiving the request, downloading the service module from the storage server; initiating the downloaded service module on the HGD; and in response to initiating the service module, instructing an identified CPE device based on the identifier to establish the connection with the RMS via the HGD.Type: GrantFiled: September 10, 2013Date of Patent: June 6, 2017Assignee: Rogers Communications Inc.Inventors: Jun Ma, Jianming Liu, Lixin Shi, Jianguo Feng
