The USPTO granted Patent No. US12592586B2 to the Regents of the University of California for an apparatus enabling real-time resonance adaptation in wireless power receivers. The technology comprises an inductive coil receiving wireless power from an external transmitter, a capacitor bank that optimizes power transfer to an energy harvesting device, and a power-receiving frontend RF-DC rectifier with a periodically enabled closed feedback loop. This feedback loop adapts capacitor bank settings in real-time to respond to changes in the inductive coil, maximizing power transfer efficiency. Inventors are Hongming Lyu and Aydin Babakhani.

This is a patent issuance, not a regulatory requirement. No compliance actions are required by any regulated entity. Organizations developing wireless power transfer technology may need to review this patent for potential licensing needs or to assess whether their products could infringe on the 24 granted claims.
