  • Systems and methods for generating and transmitting wireless power transmission waves using antennas having a spacing that is selected by the transmitter
    Patent number: 10027168
    Abstract: Embodiments disclosed herein may generate and transmit power waves that, as result of their physical waveform characteristics (e.g., frequency, amplitude, phase, gain, direction), converge at a predetermined location in a transmission field to generate a pocket of energy. Receivers associated with an electronic device being powered by the wireless charging system, may extract energy from these pockets of energy and then convert that energy into usable electric power for the electronic device associated with a receiver. The pockets of energy may manifest as a three-dimensional field (e.g., transmission field) where energy may be harvested by a receiver positioned within or nearby the pocket of energy.

  • Semiconductor device
    Patent number: 10027311
    Abstract: To provide an inexpensive semiconductor device capable of suppressing the influence by crosstalk. A semiconductor device includes a signal wiring disposed in an organic interposer, an output circuit which is coupled to a first end of the signal wiring and which sets an impedance so as to generate a reflected wave antiphase to a waveform transmitted to the first end and periodically outputs data, and an input circuit which is coupled to a second end of the signal wiring and sets an impedance so as to generate a reflected wave of the same phase as a waveform transmitted to the second end. An average delay of the signal wiring is set to be 1/integer of 2 or more relative to a half of a cycle of the data. A difference between the maximum and minimum values of a delay of a signal at each of other signal wirings disposed in the organic interposer is set to be not greater than the average delay.

  • Electric power supply system controller
    Patent number: 10027124
    Abstract: A controller has a predicting section which computes a predicted electric energy predicted to be supplied from a power distribution grid to the load during an assessment period which is a predetermined period. The controller has a supply electric energy computing section which computes a supply electric power based on the predicted electric energy, the supply electric energy being an electric energy to be supplied to the load from the electric power converter during the assessment period. The controller has a time computing section which computes a discharge time by dividing the supply electric energy by a rated power of the electric power converter. The controller has a control section which controls the electric power converter so that an electric power corresponding to the rated power is supplied to the load only for the discharge time within the assessment period.
