First Claim
Patent Images
1. A system for wirelessly charging a battery, the system comprising:
- a power generating device configured to generate and transfer power to the battery, the power generating device electrically coupled to a source coil;
a sterilizable vessel configured to accommodate the battery within the vessel, the vessel including an opening to allow access to an interior of the vessel, the battery including a receiving coil disposed within the battery; and
a nest disposed within the vessel, the nest shaped and sized to hold the battery within the nest, wherein the source coil electrically coupled to the power generating device is configured to transmit electromagnetic waves to the receiving coil of the battery to wirelessly transfer power from the power generating device to the battery.

Abstract
In various examples, a system includes a power generating device configured to generate and transfer power to an electrical device. A sterilizable vessel is configured to accommodate the electrical device. The vessel is configured to allow power to be at least partially wirelessly transferred from the power generating device, through the vessel, and to the electrical device. In other examples, a method includes wirelessly powering and/or charging an electrical device disposed within a sterilizable vessel.

13. A system for wirelessly recharging a battery, the system comprising:
-
a power generating device configured to generate and transfer power to the battery, the power generating device being electrically coupled to a source coil; a sterilizable container sized and shaped to accommodate the battery within an interior of the sterilizable container, the sterilizable container including an opening to allow access to the interior of the sterilizable container and a closure, which, when in a closed position, closes the opening of the sterilizable container to seal the interior of the sterilizable container, the battery including a receiving coil disposed within the battery; and a nest disposed within the sterilizable container, the nest shaped and sized to hold the battery within the nest, wherein the sterilizable container is configured to allow power to be at least partially wirelessly transferred from the source coil electrically coupled to the power generating device, through the sterilizable container, and to the battery, wherein the source coil is configured to transmit electromagnetic waves to the receiving coil to wirelessly transfer power from the power generating device to the battery to charge the battery within the sealed sterilizable container. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
