  • Patent number: 10320230
    Abstract: A thermal management system for an electromagnetic induction-power transfer system. The system may include a charging apparatus including a housing that defines an interface surface. An accessory or induction-power consuming apparatus may be positioned proximate to the interface surface. The housing of the charging apparatus may include a power source and a power-transferring coil coupled to the power source and positioned below the interface surface. A thermal mass may be positioned within the housing and spaced apart from the interface surface. The housing may include a thermal path that is configured to conduct heat from the interface surface to the thermal mass.

  • Patent number: 10027185
    Abstract: A transmitter device for an inductive energy transfer system can include a DC-to-AC converter operably connected to a transmitter coil, a first capacitor connected between the transmitter coil and one output terminal of the DC-to-AC converter, and a second capacitor connected between the transmitter coil and another output terminal of the DC-to-AC converter. One or more capacitive shields can be positioned between the transmitter coil and an interface surface of the transmitter device. A receiver device can include a touch sensing device, an AC-to-DC converter operably connected to a receiver coil, a first capacitor connected between the receiver coil and one output terminal of the AC-to-DC converter, and a second capacitor connected between the receiver coil and another output terminal of the AC-to-DC converter. One or more capacitive shields can be positioned between the receiver coil and an interface surface of the receiver device.

  • Publication number: 20080172580
    Abstract: Code coverage data may be collected and reported. First, in response to running a plurality of different test cases, a first plurality of traces may be received. Each of the first plurality of traces may respectively correspond to a first plurality of outputs respectively produced by running each of the plurality of different test cases on a software program. Next, in response to a plurality of users running the software program, a second plurality of traces may be received. Each of the second plurality of traces may respectively correspond to a second plurality of outputs produced by the users running the software program. Then, the first plurality of traces may be compared to the second plurality of traces. A report may be created showing the comparison.
