  • Current distribution and thermal regulation in inductive power transfer coupling structures
    Patent number: 11646152
    Abstract: A magnetic structure for wireless power transfer has a plurality of pieces of magnetically permeable material arranged along a first dimension. Each piece is separated from a neighbouring piece by a gap defining a separation distance which is selected to prevent partial saturation of a region of the structure.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: November 27, 2017
    Date of Patent: May 9, 2023
    Assignee: AUCKLAND UNISERVICES LIMITED
    Inventors: John Talbot Boys, Grant Anthony Covic, Michael John Neath, Adeel Zaheer, Hui Zhi Beh
  • ELECTRIC VEHICLE DETECTION FOR ROADWAY WIRELESS POWER TRANSFER
    Publication number: 20220402365
    Abstract: A method of detecting a wirelessly powered vehicle on a roadway uses detection of induced voltages or currents in coils provided in the roadway. Once the vehicle has been detected the appropriate coils can be energised to power the vehicle.
    Type: Application
