1. A system for delivering power to a device wirelessly, the system comprising:
- a central controller assembly; and
a transmit assembly that includes;
a plurality of conductive segments; and
a plurality of junction boxes, wherein each junction box of the plurality of junction boxes is configured to selectively connect one of the plurality of conductive segments to at least one other conductive segment of the plurality of conductive segments, and wherein the plurality of junction boxes are configured to selectively couple at least some of the plurality of conductive segments to form a transmit coil in the transmit assembly in response to a control signal from the central controller assembly.

Abstract
Systems and methods to wirelessly transmit power are provided. A power delivery system may include a central controller assembly and a transmit assembly. The central controller assembly can form transmit coils in the transmit assembly. The central controller assembly can also receive information from devices coupled to the transmit assembly and optimize the transmit coils based on the received information and on information about the transmit assembly.
