  • Apparatus and method for transferring energy across a connectorless interface
    Patent number: 6268785
    Abstract: An apparatus for transferring energy across a connectorless interface is disclosed. The apparatus comprises a primary transfer device (150) and secondary transfer device (100). The primary transfer device (150) includes a primary power transformer (320) having a set of windings (304) and a primary data transformer (330) having a set of windings (310). The secondary transfer device (100) includes a secondary power transformer (202) having a set of windings (106) and a secondary data transformer (204) having a set of windings (112). The secondary transfer device (100) is disposed proximate the primary transfer device (150) such that the set of windings (304) of the primary power transformer (320) is generally concentric with the set of windings (106) in the secondary power transformer (202), and the set of windings (310) in the primary date transformer (330) is generally concentric with the set of windings (112) in the secondary data transformer (204).
