Inductively coupled wireless power and data for a garment via a dongle
First Claim
1. A system for the transmission of at least power using inductive wireless coupling comprising:
- a dongle, having a housing which is environmentally sealed,a mounting component configured to selectively releasably mate with said dongle,wherein said dongle is sized to substantially fit in a palm of a user,wherein one of said dongle, said mounting component is adapted for coupling to one of a garment, a structure of a vehicle,and wherein the other of said dongle, said mounting component is adapted for coupling to the other of the garment, the structure of the vehicle,and wherein said adaption for coupling to the garment, the structure of the vehicle includes an umbilical having a length of substantially in the ranges of 0-30 cm, 0-100 cm respectively,and wherein said dongle and said mounting component contain first and second inductive coils and corresponding ferrite cores respectively, said first and second coils configured to be aligned for said inductive coupling when said dongle and said mounting component are said mated so as to provide a substantially closed magnetic path between said first and second coils for at least transfer of power between said first and second coils.

Abstract
A system for transmission of at least power using inductive wireless coupling includes an environmentally sealed dongle and a mounting component which releasably mates with the dongle. The dongle is sized for use with one hand, and may be coupled by an umbilical to either a garment of the user or to a vehicle structure for example a seat, in which case the mounting component is coupled to the vehicle structure or to the garment respectively. The dongle and the mounting component include first and second inductive coils respectively and corresponding ferrite cores. The coils are positioned within the dongle and mounting component so that they are aligned for their inductive coupling when the dongle and mounting component are mated. The positioning and alignment of the coils provides a substantially closed magnetic path between the coils. The mounting component may be a receptacle.
