  • Publication number: 20170033605
    Abstract: A wireless power supply system includes a power transmitter and a power receiver. The power transmitter includes a power-transmitting coil to which AC power of a frequency is input from a power source. The power receiver includes a power-receiving coil magnetically coupled to the power-transmitting coil at a coupling coefficient, and a first power-receiving-side series element coupled in series to the power-receiving coil and having imaginary impedance jZS2i. In this wireless power supply system, the frequency and the imaginary impedance are determined so that impedance of a power-receiving side seen from the power source is independent of the coupling coefficient when the coupling coefficient changes.

A coating material is formed of a lipophilic polyrotaxane including a cyclic molecule, a linear molecule piercing through the cyclic molecule to include it, and blocking groups disposed at both end terminals of the linear molecule to prevent departure of the cyclic molecule. In the lipophilic polyrotaxane, at least one of the linear molecule and the cyclic molecule has a hydrophobic modification group.

  • Patent number: 7943718
    Abstract: To provide a hydrophobic modified polyrotaxane soluble in an organic solvent, and a crosslinked polyrotaxane using this. A hydrophobic modified polyrotaxane has a cyclic molecule, a linear molecule including the cyclic molecule with piercing through the cyclic molecule, and blocking groups which are placed at both end terminals of the linear molecule to prevent the cyclic molecule from leaving from the linear molecule. The cyclic molecule is cyclodextrin, and each of all or a part of the hydroxyl groups in the cyclodextrin is modified with a hydrophobic modification group. A crosslinked polyrotaxane is formed by combining this hydrophobic modified polyrotaxane and a polymer through the cyclic molecule.
