Definitions
- the present invention relates to an apparatus and method for transferring electrical power from a source plane to a receiving device placed in various orientations on this plane
- a battery less electronic device If a battery less electronic device is used, it must be connected to a power supply, i.e 110V/220V AC power outlet.
- the operating time of the device is limited to the available charge provided by at least one rechargeable battery.
- the device After the depletion of the batteries, the device must be connected to a power supply, i.e. 110V/220V AC power outset in order to continue to operate and to recharge the batteries in the device.
- An apparatus for transferring electrical power from a source plane, to one receiving device or to a plurality of receiving devices placed in various orientations on this source plane according to the present invention can overcome the described limitations
- the apparatus includes a planar stationary unit and at least one mobile unit.
- the planar stationary unit includes conductive plates embedded in the form of a grid in a non-conductive matrix.
- matrix material could be plastic but the matrix could be made of any material that is non-conductive
- conductive plates embedded in the matrix material could be copper, but the conductive plates embedded in the matrix could be made of any material that is conductive.
- Each of the plates is connected to a power grid through a switch that is normally open i.e., there is no voltage on the plates.
- Half of the plates are connected to the phase port of the electrical power grid and the other half are connected to the zero port of the electrical power grid.
- the plates are arranged in grid formation so that the four nearest neighboring plates of each plate are connected to the opposite port as the port that the plate itself is connected to
- All the switches of the phase port are connected to a signal-receiving device and they can be turned on if in their proximity there is a device that transmits a specific signal to the receiving device.
- This transmitting device can transmit the signal (or code) through any form of transmission such as magnetic transmission, electromagnetic transmission, electrostatic transmission (capacitance), radio frequency (RF) transmission etc
- All of the switches of the zero port are connected to a signal-recciving device and they can be turned on if in their proximity there is a device that transmits a specific signal (or code) to the receiving device.
- This transmitting device can transmit the signal (or code) through any form of transmission such as magnetic transmission, electromagnetic transmission, electrostatic transmission (capacitance), radio frequency (RF) transmission etc.
- signal or code
- RF radio frequency
- the phase port switch cannot be turned on by the same transmission that turns on the zero port switches and the zero port switches cannot be turned on by the same transmission that turns on the phase port switches.
- a mobile unit that is comprised of two large conductive plates is embedded in a planar and non-conductive frame
- the plates in the mobile unit are significantly bigger than the distances between the plates in the planar stationary unit so that if placed on the planar stationary unit, each of the two plates in the mobile unit covers several plates embedded in the planar stationary unit.
- the distance between the plates in the mobile unit is grater than the largest dimension of the plates in the planar stationary unit so that no plate in the planar stationary unit can be in contact with both plates in the mobile unit.
- the width of the non-conductive frame surrounding the conductive plates is grater than the largest dimension of the plates in the planar stationary unit so that no plate in the planar stationary unit can touch a plane and extend beyond the frame at the same time. This is required for safety reasons: it is not permissible that a live plate would be exposed; hence, the mobile unit must cover it.
- Each transmitting device in the mobile unit is transmitting a different signal (or code).
- One transmitting device is transmitting the signal (or code) that causes the phase port switches to turn on,
- the opposite transmitting device is transmitting the signal (or code) that causes the zero port switches to turn on.
- phase plate The plate that has the transmitting device that is transmitting the signal (or code) that causes the phase port switches to turn on is called the "phase plate"
- the plate that has the transmitting device that is transmitting the signal (or code) that causes the zero port switches to turn on is called the "zero plate"
- both its zero plate and the phase plate are in contact with plates that are connected to the phase port and with plates that are connected to the zero port in the stationary unlit.

Abstract
Description
- The present invention relates to an apparatus and method for transferring electrical power from a source plane to a receiving device placed in various orientations on this plane
- Many of today's electronic devices are portable and some of them are even equipped with rechargeable batteries.
- If a battery less electronic device is used, it must be connected to a power supply, i.e 110V/220V AC power outlet.
- When an electronic device equipped with rechargeable batteries is being used, the operating time of the device is limited to the available charge provided by at least one rechargeable battery. After the depletion of the batteries, the device must be connected to a power supply, i.e. 110V/220V AC power outset in order to continue to operate and to recharge the batteries in the device.
- There are a number of problems associated with conventional means of powering or charging these devices:
- The devices have to be plugged into mains 110V/220V AC power outlet and hence if several are used together, they take up space in plug strips and create a messy and confusing tangle of wires.
- The locations of the power outlets are fixed and the number of outlets is usually limited
-
US Patent No 3,521,216, (1970 ), which is incorporated by reference for all purposes as if fully set forth herein, taught the use of plug and socket assembly incorporating magnetic means for attracting and holding a plug in a socket - There is thus a widely recognized need for, and it would be highly advantageous to have a power outlet plug and socket that do not require any alignment at all.
- The prior art does not teach or suggest such a tool
- An apparatus for transferring electrical power from a source plane, to one receiving device or to a plurality of receiving devices placed in various orientations on this source plane according to the present invention can overcome the described limitations
- The apparatus includes a planar stationary unit and at least one mobile unit.
- According to one embodiment the planar stationary unit includes conductive plates embedded in the form of a grid in a non-conductive matrix.
- An example for the matrix material could be plastic but the matrix could be made of any material that is non-conductive
- An example for the conductive plates embedded in the matrix material could be copper, but the conductive plates embedded in the matrix could be made of any material that is conductive.
- Each of the plates is connected to a power grid through a switch that is normally open i.e., there is no voltage on the plates.
- Half of the plates are connected to the phase port of the electrical power grid and the other half are connected to the zero port of the electrical power grid.
- The plates are arranged in grid formation so that the four nearest neighboring plates of each plate are connected to the opposite port as the port that the plate itself is connected to
- All the switches of the phase port are connected to a signal-receiving device and they can be turned on if in their proximity there is a device that transmits a specific signal to the receiving device.
- This transmitting device can transmit the signal (or code) through any form of transmission such as magnetic transmission, electromagnetic transmission, electrostatic transmission (capacitance), radio frequency (RF) transmission etc
- All of the switches of the zero port are connected to a signal-recciving device and they can be turned on if in their proximity there is a device that transmits a specific signal (or code) to the receiving device.
- This transmitting device can transmit the signal (or code) through any form of transmission such as magnetic transmission, electromagnetic transmission, electrostatic transmission (capacitance), radio frequency (RF) transmission etc.
- The phase port switch cannot be turned on by the same transmission that turns on the zero port switches and the zero port switches cannot be turned on by the same transmission that turns on the phase port switches.
- According to the above embodiment, a mobile unit that is comprised of two large conductive plates is embedded in a planar and non-conductive frame
- The plates in the mobile unit are significantly bigger than the distances between the plates in the planar stationary unit so that if placed on the planar stationary unit, each of the two plates in the mobile unit covers several plates embedded in the planar stationary unit.
- The distance between the plates in the mobile unit is grater than the largest dimension of the plates in the planar stationary unit so that no plate in the planar stationary unit can be in contact with both plates in the mobile unit.
- The width of the non-conductive frame surrounding the conductive plates is grater than the largest dimension of the plates in the planar stationary unit so that no plate in the planar stationary unit can touch a plane and extend beyond the frame at the same time. This is required for safety reasons: it is not permissible that a live plate would be exposed; hence, the mobile unit must cover it.
- Behind each plate in the mobile unit there is a transmitting device as mentioned before.
- Each transmitting device in the mobile unit is transmitting a different signal (or code).
- One transmitting device is transmitting the signal (or code) that causes the phase port switches to turn on,
- The opposite transmitting device is transmitting the signal (or code) that causes the zero port switches to turn on.
- The plate that has the transmitting device that is transmitting the signal (or code) that causes the phase port switches to turn on is called the "phase plate"
- The plate that has the transmitting device that is transmitting the signal (or code) that causes the zero port switches to turn on is called the "zero plate"
- Following is a summary of the stages of the method according to the present invention:
- When the mobile unit is placed on the planar stationary unit, both its zero plate and the phase plate are in contact with plates that are connected to the phase port and with plates that are connected to the zero port in the stationary unlit.
- Of the plates that are in contact with the phase plate, only the switches that are connected to the phase port are switched on and thus an electrical connection is established between the phase plate and the phase port through the live plates
- Of the plates that are in contact with the zero plate, only the switches that are connected to the zero port are switched on and thus an electrical connection is established between the zero plate and the zero port through the live plates
- When any other device or being touches the plantar stationary unit, and is in contact with the plates, it is not in electrical contact with the phase port or the zero port because the switches between the plates and the phase and zero ports are not on, thus, the exposed plates in the stationary unit are not "live" and are safe to touch.

electrical power 203 includes a planar stationary unit plus and minus assembly setsgrid 201, and a mobile unit plus and minus assembly set 202, also depicts several dimensions crucial to the safety of the apparatus for transferring electrical power, according to the present invention. - Planar stationary unit
phase switch assemblies 10 and mobileunit phase assembly 20 serve in this instance for conducting a straight positive current, while planar stationary unit zeroassemblies 11 and mobile unit zeroassembly 21 serve in this instance for conducting a straight negative current and are set in a non-conductive planar stationary unit plus and minus assembly setsgrid body 202a. - d1 is the largest length dimension of the planar stationary unit zero
assembly 11 cross section area. - d2, d3 is the dimensions of the planar stationary unit plus and minus assembly sets
grid body 202a around the mobileunit phase assembly 20, and the mobile unit zeroassembly 21 - d4 is the distance between the mobile
unit phase assembly 20 and the mobile unit zeroassembly 21. - In order to prevent accidental contact between a live plate in the planar stationary plus and minus assembly sets
grid 201 and a person there must be sufficient insulation around the mobile unit plus and minus assembly set 202, and the mobile unit zeroassembly 21. - This is achieved by making the non-conductive planar stationary unit plus and minus assembly sets
grid body 202a large enough to overlap any live phase plates in the planar stationary unit plus and minus assembly setsgrid 201. Therefore, the dimensions d2 and d3 must be larger then d1. - In order to prevent any shorts between the mobile
unit phase assembly 20 plate and the mobile unit zeroassembly 21 plate, the distance between them must be large enough so that no live power plate in the planar stationary unit plus and minus assembly setsgrid 201 may touch both plates in the mobile unit plus and minus assembly set 202 simultaneously. - This is achieved by making the distance between the mobile
unit phase assembly 20 plate and the mobile unit zeroassembly 21 plate larger than d1. This description refers to the case where all the dimensions of the planar stationary unitphase switch assemblies 10, and the planar stationary unit zero assembles 11 of the planar stationary unit plus and minus assembly setsgrid 201, are identical to each other - The mobile unit plus and minus assembly set 202 depict a case where the mobile
unit phase assembly 20, is greatly larger then a single planar stationary unit plus and minus assembly setsgrid 201. - In such a case, it is not possible to use the planar stationary
unit ground element 12 and the mobileunit ground element 22, as they would cause shorts between one of the contact elements in the mobile unit plus and minus assembly set 202 contact elements in the planar stationary unit plus and minus assembly setsgrid 201. - Such a large mobile unit plus and minus assembly set 202 (compared to a single planar stationary unit plus and minus assembly sets grid 201) ensures that there will always be at least one planar stationary unit
phase switch assembly 10 under the mobileunit phase assembly 20, and at least one planar stationary unit zeroassembly 11 under the mobile unit zeroassembly 21, with no regards to the orientation of the mobile unit plus and minus assembly set 202 when placed on the planar stationary unit plus and minus assembly setsgrid 201. -

- Dimension D4 is especially significant for ensuring that no 'live' 1-D apparatus for transferring
electrical power element 31 of 1-D stripstationary unit 301 is exposed to human contact Note that it is also possible to use a non-circular section shape can be used for the three magnetic cylinders described above. -

Following, is anadditional phase element 31p, At the bottom of the column is a floating pad 31fg, which is a component of 1-D strip stationary unit floating pad assembly (33) and whose purpose and structure are described inFigure 14 . - The floating pad 31fg is made of a nonconductive material
- The present illustration does not show the electrical contacts and wires of the 1-D strip
stationary unit 301 and concentricmobile unit 302. -
Figure 12a is a schematic electrical diagram of a single column of assemblies of the 1-D strip stationary unit (301), according to the present invention, switched off. - The present schematic illustration shows one 1-D strip stationary
