  • Malleable TETS coil with improved anatomical fit
    Patent number: 10636566
    Abstract: Systems and methods for wireless energy transfer are described. A transmitter unit has a transmitter resonator with a coil that is coupled to a power supply to wirelessly transmit power to a receiver unit. A receiver unit has a receiver resonator with a coil coupled to a device load. At least one of the resonators is a malleable, non-planar resonator that can be bent and shaped to conform to a patient's anatomy.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: June 26, 2019
    Date of Patent: April 28, 2020
    Assignee: TC1 LLC
    Inventors: Carine Hoarau, Steven Reichenbach, Don Hannula
  • Integrated implantable TETs housing including fins and coil loops
    Patent number: 10476317
    Abstract: Systems and methods for wireless energy transfer are described. A transmitter unit has a transmitter resonator with a coil that is coupled to a power supply to wirelessly transmit power to a receiver unit. A receiver unit has a receiver resonator with a coil coupled to a device load. The receiver unit can include a ferrite enclosure to prevent transmission of magnetic flux into electronics of the receiver unit, and can include ferrite fins to increase a coupling between the transmitter resonator and the receiver resonator.
