  • Publication number: 20260080530
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are system, apparatus, article of manufacture, method and/or computer program product embodiments, and/or combinations and sub-combinations thereof, for a computer-implemented method for displaying a plurality of measurement cycles at a plurality of frequencies in a graphical user interface (GUI) including generating a first image including a structure based on at least one signal, wherein the at least one signal includes a vibrometry measurement of a vibration of the structure, displaying a first window within the GUI including the first image, generating a second image including a real time image of the structure, displaying a second window within the GUI including the second image, determining a plurality of mobility measurements at the plurality of frequencies for at least one of the plurality of measurement cycles, wherein each of the plurality of the mobility measurements are based on an amplitude of the vibration induced at the structure and sound pressure driving the vibration of the

  • Patent number: 11005293
    Abstract: Systems and techniques are provided for beamforming for wireless power transfer. A phase/amplitude map for a notional field in a plane of an aperture of the second wireless power transfer device may be determined. A Fourier transform may be performed on the phase/amplitude map for the notional field to generate a spatial frequency representation of the notional field. A phase/amplitude map for a second notional field in a plane of an aperture of the first wireless power transfer device may be determined based on the spatial frequency representation of the notional field and the position of the second wireless power transfer device. Control signals for transducer elements of the first wireless power transfer device may be generated based on the determined phase/amplitude map for the second notional field. The control signals for the transducer elements may be supplied to the transducer elements.
