WIRELESS POWER SUPPLY FOR RESCUE DEVICES
First Claim
1. A method for a wireless power supply to a rescue electronic device, comprising:
- connecting a pocket-forming transmitter to a power source;
generating power RF signals from a RF circuit connected to the transmitter;
controlling the generated RF signals with a controller to provide a power RF signal and short RF communication signals;
transmitting the power RF and short RF communication signals through antenna elements connected to the transmitter;
capturing power RF signals in a receiver with an antenna connected to the rescue electronic device to convert the pockets of energy into a DC voltage for charging or powering the rescue electronic device; and
communicating power requirements of the rescue electronic device and the receiver location information between the pocket-forming transmitter and receiver with the short RF signals.

Abstract
The present disclosure may provide an electric transmitter which may he used to provide wireless power transmission (WPT) while using suitable WPT techniques such as pocket-forming. Transmitter may operate as power source for rescue devices where wired power sources are not feasible because local infrastructure may be damaged or destroyed. In some embodiments, transmitters may include one or more antennas connected to at least one radio frequency integrated circuit (RFIC) and one microcontroller. In other embodiments, transmitters may include a plurality of antennas, a plurality of RFIC or a plurality of controllers. In addition, transmitters may include communications components which may allow for communication to various electronic equipment including phones, computers, GPS and others.
