Patent Images
1. A method for contactless energy transfer between an emitter and a device, the method comprising:
- receiving an audio signal with a first module, the first module comprising an electromagnetic loudspeaker having an inductive element configured to drive a membrane of the electromagnetic loudspeaker, wherein changes in a position of the inductive element cause movements of the membrane; and
transferring energy from the emitter to a load via the inductive element.
