Abstract: The innovation disclosed and claimed herein, in one aspect thereof, comprises systems and methods of determining network segmentation. The innovation can search a network to determine a set of network entities, the network entities belonging to the network, and determine network factors of each network entity in the set of network entities. The innovation can evaluate each network factor and determine segmentation candidates based on the evaluation of each network factor. The innovation can determine a risk ranking for each network factor for each network entity and aggregate each risk ranking into a segmentation score for each network entity. The innovation can determine a segmentation candidate when a network entity segmentation score satisfies a threshold score. The innovation can generate a sub-network that is part of the network for the segmentation candidate, and transfer the segmentation candidate to the sub-network.

Abstract: A power transmitter (101) of a wireless power transfer system comprises a resonance including a transmitter coil (103) for generating a power transfer signal for wirelessly transferring power to a power receiver (105). Further, a driver (1303) generates a drive signal for the resonance circuit (201) and a message receiver (1305) is arranged to receive messages from the power receiver (105). A power loop controller (1307) implements a power control loop by adapting the power of the drive signal in response to power control messages received from the power receiver (105). However, the regulation is subject to a constraint of at least one of a current or voltage of the resonance circuit and a power of the drive signal being below a maximum limit. Further, the power transmitter (101) comprises an adapter (1309) which adapts the maximum limit in response to a load indication indicative of a loading of the power transfer signal by the power receiver (105).
