A METHOD AND AN APPARATUS FOR TRANSFERRING ELECTRICAL POWER AND DATA
First Claim
1. An apparatus for transferring electrical power and data including a primary circuit comprising:
- an energy source (10),at least a pair of transmitting armatures (100, 100′
), a first of the armatures (100) being connected in use to a different potential with respect to a second of the armatures (100′
),at least a power transmitter (12) connected to the energy source (10) and at least one of the armatures (100, 100′
), andat least a transceiver (20) connected to at least one of the transmitting armatures (100, 100′
), the transceiver (20) being particularly suitable for use in receiving and/or transmitting data via the transmitting armatures (100, 100′
) independently of the power transmitted by the power transmitter (12).

Abstract
An apparatus for transferring electrical power and data includes a primary circuit comprising a source of electrical energy (10), at least a pair of transmitting armatures (100, 100′), a first of the armatures (100) being connected in use to a different electrical potential with respect to a second of the armatures (100′), at least an electric power transmitter (12) connected to the source of electrical energy (10) and to at least one of the armatures (100, 100′), and at least a transceiver (20) connected to at least one of the transmitting armatures (100, 100′). The transceiver (20) is particularly suitable for use in receiving and/or transmitting data via the transmitting armatures (100, 100′) independently of the power transmitted by the power transmitter (12).

14. A method for transferring power and data comprising steps of:
-
predisposing at least a primary circuit comprising an energy source (10), at least a pair of transmitting armatures (100, 100′
), at least a power transmitter (12) connected to the energy source (10) and to at least one of the armatures (100, 100′
), at least a transceiver (20) connected to at least one of the transmitting armatures (100, 100′
),predisposing at least a secondary circuit comprising at least a pair of receiving armatures (200, 200′
), a load (18) connected to at least one of the receiving armatures (200, 200′
), and a transceiver (22) connected to at least one of the transmitting armatures (200, 200′
),arranging at least a receiving armature (200) of the secondary circuit in proximity of a transmitting armature (100, 100′
) of the primary circuit for determining a capacitive-type coupling between the armatures (100, 200), andtransferring data from the transceiver (20) of the primary circuit to the transceiver (22) of the secondary circuit and/or vice versa, through the at least a pair of armatures (100, 200), and transferring power from the transceiver (12) of the primary circuit to the load (18) of the secondary circuit, through the at least a pair of armatures (100, 200) independently of the data transfer. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22)
