Abstract: An apparatus and method for lost power detection are described. In one implementation, an apparatus for wireless transferring power comprises a wireless power transmitter configured to wirelessly transmit power at a power level sufficient to power or charge a chargeable device. The apparatus further comprises a controller configured to determine a first and second power difference between a first and second power measurement and the second and a third power measurement of the power level provided by the wireless power transmitter at a first, second, and third sample time, respectively. The controller is further configured to determine a transmitter power difference between the first power difference and the second power difference. The controller is further configured to determine an absence or a presence of an object that affects consumption of power transmitted by the wireless power transmitter based at least on the transmitter power difference Δ_T.

Abstract: The present disclosure describes aspects of Zener overvoltage protection (OVP) with a thermal trigger for an implant. In some aspects, an apparatus comprises a rectifier disposed in a rectification circuit and configured to rectify alternating current (AC) power received at the rectification circuit to direct current (DC) power. The apparatus also includes a Zener diode and thermistor. The Zener diode is disposed in the rectification circuit between the rectifier and an output terminal, and is configured to clamp the DC power at a predefined voltage. The clamped DC power output at the output terminal is usable by the implant. The thermistor and Zener diode are disposed in temperature-measuring proximity. This enables the thermistor to measure a temperature of the Zener diode, which correlates to voltage at the Zener diode due to clamping. When the measured temperature exceeds a threshold temperature indicative of an OVP condition, remedial OVP actions are initiated.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for lost power detection are described. In one implementation, an apparatus for wirelessly transferring power comprises a wireless power transmitter configured to wirelessly transmit power at a first power level sufficient to power or charge a chargeable device. The apparatus further comprises a controller configured to obtain a first power measurement of the first power level. The controller is further configured to determine a first adjusted power measurement of the first power measurement based on one or more tolerance values of the wireless power transmitter. The controller is further configured to determine a second adjusted power measurement of a second power measurement of a second power level received by the chargeable device based on one or more tolerance values of the chargeable device. The controller is further configured to determine if a power difference between the first and second adjusted power measurements exceeds a threshold value.
