Abstract: A system and method provides a way to sever the data connection between a USB port and a client device, while still allowing the client device to charge. Typical connections between a client device and a USB port involve a USB cable. However, the device described herein is used in series with the client device and USB port. The device automatically detects the allowed charging current from the USB port and presents that information to the client device. During this exchange, no data transfer is allowed between the client device and USB port in either direction. Once the client device is provided, and charging information presented by the device, the client device begins to charge.

Abstract: A system is for wireless non-radiative energy transfer. A transmitter comprises an inductively coupled power source that is configured to provide a magnetic energy field. One or more receivers are configured to be placed within the magnetic energy field. A decoupling and rectifying stage is configured to supply power to a device.
