  • Patent number: 11038376
    Abstract: A wireless power transmitter, a wireless power transmitter and a method for driving a wireless power transmission system are disclosed. In an embodiment, a wireless power transmitter includes an inverter, an impedance circuit, an inductance circuit with a first transmission coil and a second transmission coil and a switch circuit. The impedance circuit and the inductance circuit establish a resonance circuit. The inverter is configured to provide AC power to the resonance circuit. The switch circuit is configured to couple the first transmission coil directly and/or via the second transmission coil to the impedance circuit to change a resonance frequency of the resonance circuit and to keep a frequency of the AC power within a prescribed range.

  • Patent number: 7336609
    Abstract: A method is provided in which at least one of the following parameters is first determined for a transmitter: parameter representative of the presence of the message oriented memory management feature in the receiver; number of message storage locations provided in the receiver; size of the message storage locations provided in the receiver. A receiver transmits to the transmitter the number of information units still permitted under time control or under event control, the receiver ascertaining this number from the number of messages received or from the number of message storage locations which are still free. The transmitter ascertains the number of messages that can still be transmitted to the receiver from the transmitted number of information units which are still permitted.
