Abstract: A wireless power transmitter system includes: a power delivery structure comprising power transmitting elements (power transmitting elements), each of which is configured to induce a field, and configured to adapt to an exterior shape of an entity that contains a receiver; a power circuit configured to provide power to the power transmitting elements selectively; and a controller configured to: determine an electrical characteristic, other than power transfer to the receiver, associated with actuating at least one of the power transmitting elements; determine at least one power transmitting element subset, based on the electrical characteristic, containing less than all, and at least one, of the power transmitting elements; select, based on power transferred to the receiver, one or more charging power transmitting elements to use to charge the receiver wirelessly; and cause the power circuit to provide power to the one or more charging power transmitting elements.

Abstract: Certain aspects of the present disclosure relate to methods and apparatus for reconfiguring wireless power resonator. Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide a wireless power resonator. The wireless power resonator includes a first section. The wireless power resonator further includes a second section electrically coupled and physically coupled to the first section. The second section is configured to be movable with respect to the first section while remaining both electrically coupled and physically coupled to the first section to change an effective area of the wireless power resonator.
