Patent number: 10770919Abstract: Disclosed are systems for wireless energy transfer including transcutaneous energy transfer. Embodiments are disclosed for user interface (UI) hubs to connect multiple batteries and to output system information to a patient. Embodiments are further disclosed for garments and devices to be worn by a patient requiring treatment. The garments are configured for a desired placement of a transmitter coil relative to a body of the patient and for facilitating patient comfort and quality of life. Methods for manufacturing and using the devices and the systems are also disclosed.Type: GrantFiled: October 30, 2018Date of Patent: September 8, 2020Assignee: TC1 LLCInventors: Carine Hoarau, Jeffrey R. Lind, Ian Coll McEachern, John Nguyen, Joanna M. Ignacio, Chalan Koneru, John Curtis Layton, Nicole L. Parks, Leif A. Erickson, Serge Dubeau, Martin A. Leugers, Alex R. Brown
