1. An apparatus, comprising:
- a processor to issue a first instruction to a first node configured to transmit power wirelessly to a receiver that converts the power into a current, the first instruction configured to effect alteration of a characteristic of the power transmitted wirelessly at the first node;
a memory to store information associated with the power transmitted wirelessly, the processor configured to issue the first instruction based on the information; and
means for issuing a second instruction to a second node configured to transmit power wirelessly to the receiver that converts the power transmitted wirelessly at the second node into a current, the second instruction configured to effect alteration of a characteristic of the power transmitted wirelessly at the second node.

Abstract
A network for power transmission to a receiver that converts the power into current includes a first node for transmitting power wirelessly in a first area. The first area has a minimum electric or magnetic field strength. The network includes a second node for transmitting power wirelessly in a second area. The second area has a minimum electric or magnetic field strength and overlaps the first area to define an overlap area. In another embodiment, the network includes a source in communication with the first and second nodes which provides power to them. Also disclosed are methods for power transmission to a receiver that converts the power into current.
