Abstract: A variety of applications can include wireless power and voltage regulation for wireless power transfer systems. A receiver can receive power wirelessly from a transmitter to provide an output voltage. The receiver can regulate the output voltage with respect to a window defining an upper threshold and a lower threshold and can generate a first signal in response to the output voltage exceeding the upper threshold voltage and a second signal in response to the output voltage reducing below the lower threshold voltage. The receiver can change its input impedance and control reception of the power in response to the first and second signals. A transmitter can sense current in the power transistors or the coil of the transmitter in response to the change of input impedance of the receiver. The sensed current can be used to modify the current to the output of the transmitter to adjust the transmitted power.

Abstract: The invention is composed of a main member, a bearing, a brake ring and a detection structure. The main member has a middle hole for installing the bearing, a first pivot portion supporting a first shaft, and a second pivot portion supporting a second shaft. The first and second shafts are arranged coaxially and perpendicular to the middle hole. The brake ring has a brake hole, a first arm coupled with the first shaft, a second arm coupled with the second shaft. The detection structure is to keep the brake ring at the first position, so that the brake ring is allowed to rotate around the bearing with the first and second shaft. However, when the brake ring is subjected to a set stress to control the displacement of the brake ring to the second position. Therefore, the displacement change of the brake ring can be visually detected.
