Abstract: An infrared (IR) light source drying apparatus (10, 100, 120) is disclosed as including a body (123), an airflow output device (14, 104, 122) for outputting an airflow from the body, and an IR lamp (108, 124) for emitting an IR light ray, the apparatus being without any heating element in the path of movement of the airflow through the body. The airflow outputted by the drying apparatus (10, 100, 120) and directed towards a target (T) is at the ambient temperature, and serves to cool the target. The present invention can provide waterproof functions when drying the target, operate with batteries and use significantly less power for powering the drying apparatus.

Abstract: A power transmitting antenna (20, 30) is disclosed as including a flexible elongate polymer core (22, 32a) and a length of copper strip or wire (23, 33a) wound on, around and along the elongate core to form an electrically conductive layer (24, 34a) on, around and along the elongate core. A method of producing a power transmitting antenna (20, 30) is disclosed as including steps (a) providing a flexible elongate polymer core (22, 32a), and (b) winding a length of a copper wire or strip (23, 33a) on, around and along the elongate core to form an electrically conductive layer (24, 34a) on, around and along the elongate core.
