Patent Research 11/5/07

Summary of US Patent 3938018 – Inductive Charging – One device.

Primary oscillator @ 10-40kHz. Secondary orientation is fixed, for use with one specific device.

Summary of US Patent 691718 – Increased Efficiency Inductive Charging.

Control module monitors secondary voltage and switches-in a plurality of coils to increase/decrease charging voltage. Theory is that different devices may require different charging voltages which will be controlled by this module located in the secondary circuitry.

Summary of US Patent 5959433 – Inductively Charged Battery Pack.

Not much info about design of coils. Good discussion of battery charging circuit.
