Patent number: 10284020Abstract: Techniques are described for accumulating data regarding the charging environment and power delivery efficiency at various regions in the environment under various transmission conditions. In some embodiments, this data may be utilized to generate efficient and sophisticated power transmission schedules; however, this data may also be leveraged for the manipulation of the standing waves within the environment. This allows for two discrete and powerful applications: creation of null zones and conversely the generation of high power regions. These regions may also be referred to as ‘power nulls’ and ‘energy balls’ respectively.Type: GrantFiled: May 1, 2017Date of Patent: May 7, 2019Assignee: Ossia Inc.Inventors: Hatem Zeine, Dale Mayes, Benjamin Renneberg, Anas Alfarra

Publication number: 20180255596Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure describe techniques for encoding beacon signals in wireless power delivery environments. More specifically, techniques are disclosed for encoding beacon signals to isolate client devices for wireless power delivery in wireless power delivery environments. The beacon signals can be encoded or modulated with a transmission code that is provided to selected clients in the wireless power delivery environment. In this manner, beacon signals from the select clients can be identified and the corresponding client devices isolated for wireless power delivery. In some embodiments, the transmission code can be a pseudorandom sequence that is used by the wireless power delivery clients to encode transmitted beacon signals.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 30, 2018Publication date: September 6, 2018Applicant: Ossia Inc.Inventors: Hatem Ibrahim Zeine, Prithvi Shylendra, Anas Alfarra
