  • Publication number: 20180306874
    Abstract: An exemplary system for determining field characteristics using one dimension of a vector field utilizes a field measurement apparatus configured to acquire measurement data of the vector field corresponding to one dimension of the vector field and at least one computing device configured to simultaneously solve a set of equations characterizing the vector field by composing the set of equations into discrete counterparts, obtaining the measurement data of the vector field as input data for the discrete counterparts to the set of equations, and computing output data satisfying the discrete counterparts to the set of equations in at least one vector dimension that differs from the vector dimension of the input data using a matrices solution.

  • Publication number: 20180159368
    Abstract: The present disclosure is directed towards wireless power transfer using one or more rotating magnets in a receiver. An exemplary embodiment provides for a system comprising a transmitter that generates a dynamic magnetic field and a receiver comprising a magnet and a coil. In operation, the magnet rotates in response to the dynamic magnetic field and induces a voltage across the coil.

  • Publication number: 20180136201
    Abstract: The present disclosure is directed towards characterizing liquids through the use of magnetic discs that rotate in response to dynamic magnetic fields. In some embodiments, a light beam is transmitted into the liquid while the magnetic discs rotate, and one or more parameters a light beam signal associated with the transmitted light beam are identified. Various characteristics of the liquid may be detected based on the one or more parameters of the light beam signal.
