Nobuyuki TAKABAYASHI has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 11936210
    Abstract: A power transmission apparatus includes a controller that controls a power transmitter that performs wireless power transmission. The controller is configured to: cause the processor to: cause the power transmitter to emit a first power transmission beam for which a first power is set; acquire feedback information on a result of reception of the first power transmission beam in a power reception apparatus; identify a power receiving capability in the power reception apparatus; and determine, with reference to the power receiving capability and the reception result, a second power which is usable in wireless power supply for the power reception apparatus and which is larger than the first power. The power receiving capability includes a maximum value of an input power range of the power reception apparatus. The wireless power transmission uses an electromagnetic wave having a frequency equal to or higher than that of a microwave.

  • Publication number: 20230402881
    Abstract: A power transmission apparatus according to an aspect of the present disclosure includes a control unit that controls a power transmitting unit that performs wireless power transmission. The control unit causes the power transmitting unit to radiate a power transmission beam for supplying electrical power to a target power reception apparatus in accordance with a control parameter related to a radiation direction and a beam shape of the beam. The control unit refers to a position of an edge in an image obtained by photographing a periphery of the target power reception apparatus and monitoring entry of a biological body or an object with respect to a no-entry region that is created in a periphery of a path of the beam. The control unit stops radiation of the beam when entry of a biological body or an object with respect to the no-entry region is detected.
