  • Publication number: 20220008572
    Abstract: An apparatus is provided for delivering IR and/or UV radiation, to an area or a surface in which virions, such as SARS-CoV-2 (the virus that causes the disease, COVID-19), may exist, wherein the IR radiation is intended to degrade the viral envelope of the virions and wherein the UV radiation is intended to break specific molecular bonds in order to degrade the RNA of the virion contained within a viral envelope.
    Type: Application
    Filed: May 13, 2021
    Publication date: January 13, 2022
    Inventors: James Arthur Graham, JR., Ghobad Heidari-Bateni, Stanton C. Braden, Craig Martin Gregersen

  • Patent number: 9559526
    Abstract: Exemplary embodiments are directed to wireless power transfer. A wireless power transmitter includes a transmit antenna and a controller. The transmit antenna inductively transfers power to a plurality of receiver devices. The controller is operably coupled to the transmit antenna and causes a first one of the plurality of receiver devices to be enabled to receive the power from the transmit antenna and causes at least a portion of the remaining receiver devices to be disabled from receiving the power while the first receiver device is enabled.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 8823319
    Abstract: Exemplary embodiments are directed to wireless power transfer. A transmit antenna generates an electromagnetic field having a region for wirelessly transferring power from the transmit antenna to a plurality of receiver devices. A controller is operably coupled to the transmit antenna. The controller determines a power allocation for a particular one of the plurality of receiver devices disposed within the region, and adjusts the power allocation based at least in part on a power requirement received from the particular one of the plurality of receiver devices.

  • Patent number: 8497658
    Abstract: Exemplary embodiments are directed to wireless power transfer. A transmitter generates an electromagnetic field at a resonant frequency with a transmit antenna to create a coupling-mode region within a near field of the transmit antenna. The transmitter defines a beginning of a recurring period by on-off keying the electromagnetic field during a synchronization portion of the recurring period. During a power transmission portion of the recurring period, the transmitter couples portions of the electromagnetic field to different receive antennas of various receiver devices within the coupling-mode region. The transmitter also determines a power allocation within the recurring period for the various receiver devices disposed within the coupling-mode region and adjusts a power level of the near field radiation responsive to power requirements received from the receiver devices.
