Abstract
Disclosed is a system for wirelessly powering an item. A source is configured to send wireless power. A target is configured to receive the wireless power and convert the wireless power to a useable power. A component is connected to and configured to receive the useable power from the target. When the component receives the usable power, the component activates. Also disclosed is an assembly including a system for wirelessly powering a component and a structure for supporting the system and an item.

57. An apparatus, comprising:
-
a power harvester configured to convert power wirelessly received from a power transmitter to a usable power; a charge storage element configured to store at least a portion of the usable power; a component configured to receive the useable power stored within the charge storage element; a circuit electrically coupled to the charge storage element and the component, the circuit configured to provide the usable power stored within the charge storage element to the component when the circuit is activated, the circuit configured to not provide the usable power stored within the charge storage element to the component when the circuit is not activated; and a timer operatively coupled to the circuit and configured to control when the circuit is activated. - View Dependent Claims (58, 59, 60, 61, 62, 63, 64, 65, 66, 67)

68. An apparatus, comprising:
-
an AC-to-DC converter configured to receive a power wirelessly transmitted from a source and to produce a DC power; a first component configured to store at least a portion of the DC power; a second component configured to receive DC power from the first component; a timer circuit operatively coupled to the first component and the second component, the timer circuit configured to enable DC power to be received by the second component from the first component during a first time period such that the second component is operable during the first time period, the timer circuit configured to prohibit DC power from being received by the second component from the first component during a second time period such that the second component is inoperable during the second time period. - View Dependent Claims (69, 70, 71, 72, 73, 74, 75)

76. An apparatus, comprising:
-
a power harvester configured to convert wirelessly received power to a usable power; a first charge storage element configured to store at least a portion of the usable power; a second charge storage element configured to receive at least a portion of the useable power stored within the first charge storage element and to store at least a portion of the usable power received from the first charge storage element; a circuit operatively coupled to the first charge storage element and the second charge storage element, the circuit configured to enable the usable power from the first charge storage element to be received by the second charge storage element when the circuit is activated, the circuit configured to prevent the usable power from the first charge storage element to be received by the second charge storage element when the circuit is deactivated; and a timer operatively coupled to the circuit and configured to operatively control the activation of the circuit. - View Dependent Claims (77, 78, 79, 80, 81)
