  • Patent number: 8878393
    Abstract: Exemplary embodiments are directed to wireless power transfer. A power transmitting device is attached to an existing vehicle item or is embedded in a vehicle element. The power transmitting device includes a transmit antenna to wirelessly transfer power to a receive antenna by generating a near-field radiation within a coupling-mode region. An amplifier applies a driving signal to the transmit antenna. A presence detector may detect a presence of a receiver device within the coupling-mode region. The presence detector may also detect a human presence. An enclosed compartment detector may detect when the vehicle element is in a closed state. A power output may be adjusted in response to the closed state, the presence of a receiver device, and the presence of a human.

  • Patent number: 5529502
    Abstract: An assembly for electrically interconnecting a printed circuit board (106) to a flexible circuit carrier (104) includes a retention clip (102) for mechanically pressing the printed circuit board (106) against the flexible circuit carrier (104). The printed circuit board (106) includes a set of locating features (110) which match with locating features (116) located on the flexible circuit (104). A set of retention features (114) match up with side locks (122) located on the retention clip) and maintain the clip (102) engaged to the printed circuit board (106) in a mechanically biased state. The clip (102) also includes alignment apertures (118) for receiving the locating features (110) on the printed circuit board to aid in alignment of the assembly.
