摘要: Systems and techniques are provided for a power receiver circuit. A power receiver circuit may include power generating elements that may generate alternating current. The power receiver circuit may include group circuits that may connect power generating elements in parallel to combine the alternating current from the power generating elements into a single alternating current. The power receiver circuit may include rectifier circuits which may include rectifier channels connected to the group circuits and may include a rectifier that may generate direct current from alternating current. The power receiver circuit may include a step down converter connected to rectifier circuits that may convert direct current to direct current of a target voltage level. An output switch and linear regulator may be connected to the step down converter, and a microcontroller may be connected to the linear regulator and the output switch and may control the output switch.

摘要: Systems and techniques are provided for a multichannel waveform synthesis engine. A phase counter module counts to a value corresponding to a number of phases available, outputs a phase counter value indicating a current phase, and resets the phase counter value when the phase counter value reaches a phase counter reset value. Several channels each output a waveform. Each channel includes a phase module that receives the phase counter value output from the phase counter module, and activates an activation signal when the phase counter value indicates a phase assigned to the channel from the number of phases available. Each channel includes a pulse width module that receives the activation signal, and when the activation signal is activated, activates a waveform for a period of time indicated by a pulse width assigned to the channel, and deactivates the waveform after the period of time indicated by the pulse width assigned to the channel.

摘要: A signal generator generates an electrical signal that is sent to an amplifier, which increases the power of the signal using power from a power source. The amplified signal is fed to a sender transducer to generate ultrasonic waves that can be focused and sent to a receiver. The receiver transducer converts the ultrasonic waves back into electrical energy and stores it in an energy storage device, such as a battery, or uses the electrical energy to power a device. In this way, a device can be remotely charged or powered without having to be tethered to an electrical outlet.
