  • Patent number: 10978913
    Abstract: A variable magnetic field in which a power-supplying coil and a power supplying resonator exist is generated only by the power-supplying coil. Power-supplying coils and each of which generates a variable magnetic field due to the supply of a variable current via a first current path on one coil end a side and a second current path on the other coil end side; resonance capacitors which are provided on the first current path and the second current path; and a power-supplying coil short-circuit mechanism which is able to cause at least one of the power-supplying coils and to function as a power supplying resonator by allowing the end portions and of the first current path and the second current path to short-circuit with each other are provided.

  • Publication number: 20170194816
    Abstract: A comparator circuit compares a value of current detected by a current detector with a threshold. A first signal is output if the value is determined as to be equal to or more than the threshold. A second signal is output if the value is less than the threshold. Then, a logical operation is executed based on a signal output from the comparator circuit and the signal (oscillation signal, pause signal) output from a signal oscillator. When the power-shut off condition is met; i.e., the signal from the comparator circuit is the second signal and the signal from the signal oscillator is the pause signal, a turn-off control signal which turns off power supply to the power-supplying module is output to the oscillation output device, and a turn-on control signal which turns on the power supply to the power-supplying module is output to the oscillation output device otherwise.
