  • Patent number: 10985484
    Abstract: A seam jump connector provides connectivity over an irregular area, such as seam, in a textile. The textile is part of a textile base structure that includes one or more electrically conductive interconnects formed either directly on the textile or on intermediate substrates that are attached to the textile. The intermediate substrates can be TPU sheets having conductive interconnects printed on a surface. The conductive interconnects of the textile base structure are discontinuous at an irregular area on the textile, and the seam jump connector includes a flexible and/or stretchable substrate with conductive interconnects. The seam jump connector is aligned with and stacked onto the conductive interconnects so as to provide electrical connectivity across the irregular area. The seam jump connectors can be configured to be permanently or removably attached to the textile base structure.

    Abstract: Coil assembly including a flux-control body having a magnetic material and a body side. The flux-control body includes a shield wall that defines a coil channel of the flux-control body that opens along the body side to an exterior of the flux-control body. The coil assembly also includes an electrical conductor positioned within the coil channel. The electrical conductor forms a power-transfer coil having co-planar windings that are configured to generate a magnetic flux within a spatial region that is adjacent to the body side. Adjacent windings are separated by the shield wall of the flux-control body. The shield wall controls a distribution of the magnetic flux experienced within the spatial region.
