WIRELESS POWER TRANSFER FOR MOBILE DEVICES
First Claim
1. A wireless power receiver module for a computing system, the wireless power receiver module comprising:
- a receiver resonator comprising an inductor formed substantially in a first plane, the receiver resonator is configured to capture oscillating magnetic flux;
a planar piece of metallic material formed in a second plane;
wherein the planar piece of metallic material defines an aperture in which the inductor of the receiver resonator is disposed; and
wherein the planar piece of metallic material defines first and second breaks extending from an outer edge of the planar piece of metallic material to the aperture to form first and second portions of the planar piece of metallic material.

Abstract
The disclosure features wireless power receiver modules for computing systems. The wireless power receiver modules can include a receiver resonator that can include an inductor formed substantially in a first plane. The receiver resonator can be configured to capture oscillating magnetic flux. The modules can include a planar piece of metallic material formed in a second plane. The planar piece of metallic material can define an aperture in which the inductor of the receiver resonator is disposed. The planar piece of metallic material can define first and second breaks extending from an outer edge of the planar piece of metallic material to the aperture to form first and second portions of the planar piece of metallic material.
