    摘要: This disclosure provides systems, methods and apparatus for detecting foreign objects. An apparatus for detecting a presence of an object is provided including a plurality of electrically conductive loops arranged in an array. The apparatus includes a sensor circuit configured to determine a characteristic associated with each of the plurality of loops. The apparatus includes a hardware processor configured to, for each loop of the plurality of loops, determine a parameter based on the characteristic associated with the loop and the characteristic associated with at least one adjacent loop. The hardware processor may be further configured to determine the presence of the object based on the parameter. The parameter may comprise a sum of a difference between the characteristic associated with the loop and a reference value for the characteristic, and a difference between the characteristic associated with each of the at least one adjacent loop and the reference value.

    摘要: This disclosure provides systems, methods and apparatus for detecting foreign objects. An apparatus for detecting a presence of an object is provided. The apparatus includes a coil configured to inductively sense a presence of an object based on an electrical characteristic of the coil that varies as a function of a temperature of the object when the object is exposed to an alternating magnetic field. The apparatus further includes a controller configured to detect a change in the electrical characteristic.

    摘要: This disclosure provides apparatuses and methods for detecting foreign objects. An apparatus for detecting a presence of an object comprises at least one radar antenna attached to a wirelessly chargeable vehicle. The at least one radar antenna is configured to transmit a radar signal into a space between a wireless power receiver of the vehicle and a wireless charger as the vehicle moves in a primary direction of movement of the vehicle and receive the radar signal. The apparatus further comprises a radar processing circuit configured to determine a presence of the object in the space based on at least one characteristic of the received radar signal. The radar processing circuit is further configured to provide an indication to receive power from the wireless charger based at least in part on the determining the presence of the object.

    摘要: Systems, methods, and apparatus are disclosed for guiding and aligning an electric vehicle with a charging station. In one aspect, a method of guiding an electric vehicle is provided, including determining a location of a charging spot associated to a charging base in relation to a charging coupler of the electric vehicle. The method further includes displaying an indicator of the location of the charging spot in a three dimensional perspective view, the indicator displayed for guiding a user of the electric vehicle to position a charging coupler of the electric vehicle over the charging base within a tolerance area. The method further includes transitioning to displaying the indicator of the location of the charging spot in a two dimensional top-down view based on determining that an angle between a reference point and a point on ground related to the location of the charging spot satisfies a threshold.
