WIRELESS POWER TRANSFER AND COMMUNICATIONS FOR INDUSTRIAL EQUIPMENT

摘要

Methods and systems for wirelessly transmitting power and/or data, using an inductive power transfer unit (110) comprising an inductive power transmitter (118) and an inductive power receiver (120). Preferably, the inductive power transmitter (118) is capable of receiving power from a power source and transmitting it wirelessly and inductively to the inductive power receiver (120), which in turn delivers power to power consuming devices (158). More preferably, the inductive power receiver is capable of delivering power to the power consuming devices (158) even when it is not receiving inductive power from the wireless power transmitter.
