    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer-storage media, for wireless charging using time-division multiplexing. In some implementations, a wireless charger is configured to concurrently charge multiple devices by providing power wirelessly to individual devices in different time periods. The wireless charger can perform time-division multiplexing by selectively directing the output of a single driver circuit to different power transfer coil segments at different times. The wireless charging sessions of multiple devices can be maintained by repeating a pattern of activating different power transfer coil segments one by one in successive time periods.

    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer-storage media, for improving wireless charging. In some implementations, an electronic device determines a power demand of the electronic device. The electronic device includes a wireless power receiver including a wireless power receiving coil configured to receive power through inductive coupling with a wireless charge. The electronic device determines an operating voltage or operating frequency for the wireless charger based on the power demand of the electronic device. The electronic device sends, to the wireless charger, data indicating the operating voltage or operating frequency for the wireless charger.

    Abstract: An example mobile computing device includes at least one processor, a battery, and a device enclosure. The device enclosure at least partially encloses the mobile computing device. At least one portion of the device enclosure comprises at least one first element, a region that is at least partially formed in and at least partially surrounded by the at least one first element, at least one insulative element formed in the region, wherein the at least one insulative element includes at least one electrically insulative material, and a wireless charging module included in the region. The wireless charging module is configured to wirelessly communicate with an external charging device to induce a current in the wireless charging unit, and wherein the current is used to charge the battery of the mobile computing device.
