Patent number: 12068803Abstract: Technologies are described for a two-wire power delivery system with negotiated charging between host and client devices. The host device uses a state machine and additional support circuits to negotiate time-domain separated bi-directional communications with a client device over powerlines with a two-wire cable. After attachment of the client device is detected by the host device, communications are sent from the host device to the client device, an acknowledgement is sent by the client device to the host device, and charging by the host device is established. Additional failsafe conditions may be detected by the host device, such as: detachment of the client device, short circuits, and dead batteries. Periodic retriggering of negotiated communications is utilized to ensure safe charging operation and failsafe conditions. The client device includes a correspondingly configured state machine with support circuitry to facilitate communications and proper detection of conditions by the host device.Type: GrantFiled: December 28, 2022Date of Patent: August 20, 2024Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventor: Julian Arlo Binder

Patent number: 12040848Abstract: Described herein are methods of making and using and apparatus for wirelessly communicating data and providing power, particularly from a location exterior to a body and to an implantable device disposed within a body with tissue. The described embodiments provide apparatus and methods for efficiently transfer data and power between an external transceiver and an (implanted) biomedical device. The method is to modulate power carrier, which wirelessly powers the device, using an asynchronous modulation scheme, such as amplitude shift keying (ASK) modulation, with minimal modulation depth in order to not disrupt the power flow.
