INTEGRATION OF ELECTRONIC COMPONENTS IN INDUCTIVE POWER TRANSFER SYSTEMS
First Claim
1. A wireless power receiver apparatus, comprising:
- a coil configured to wirelessly receive power via a magnetic field generated by a transmitter, the wirelessly received power at a level sufficient for powering or charging a load; and
a housing comprising;
a first volume configured to house the coil; and
a second volume different than the first volume and configured to house electronic components, a level of the magnetic field within the second volume being less than the level of the magnetic field within the first volume, the second volume bound by;
a horizontal shielding member along a first portion of the second volume, the horizontal shielding member defining a horizontal shielding member plane substantially parallel to a plane defined by the coil, anda vertical shielding member along a second portion of the second volume, the vertical shielding member defining a vertical shielding member plane substantially orthogonal to the plane defined by the coil.

Abstract
In a particular embodiment, a wireless power receiver apparatus includes a coil configured to wirelessly receive power via a magnetic field generated by a transmitter. The wireless power receiver apparatus can include a housing that includes a first volume configured to house the coil. The housing can also include a second volume configured to house electronic components. The second volume can be bound by a horizontal shielding member along a first portion of the second volume. The horizontal shielding member can define a horizontal shielding member plane substantially parallel to a plane defined by the coil. The second volume can also be bounded by a vertical shielding member along a second portion of the second volume. The vertical shielding member can define a vertical shielding member plane substantially orthogonal to the plane defined by the coil.
