A device for supplying power to an active ocular implant in an eye of a user can include a spectacle lens with a first main surface and a second main surface, a light source, and an optical arrangement which is configured to input couple light from the light source into the spectacle lens and output couple said light from the first main surface of the spectacle lens to the user. The optical arrangement can include at least one diffractive element which is arranged in the spectacle lens. Each of the at least one diffractive element can have an associated first end and an associated second end. The associated first end and the associated second end each can have a different distance from the first main surface and/or each have a different distance from the second main surface.

A repeater may comprise: a first member; and at least one pattern formed on the first member and configured to provide at least one of an electric field and a magnetic field, which is incident from a wireless power transmitter onto a first surface of the first member, through a second surface of the first member, opposite to the first surface.

A method may comprise determining a coupling factor between a coil of a transmitter and a coil of a relay based on a joint resonance frequency between the coil of the transmitter and the coil of the relay. The determining may occur when the coil of the relay and the coil of the transmitter are separated by a medium. The transmitter may inductively transmit power for wirelessly charging a device located near the relay. An operating frequency range, having a minimal operating frequency and a maximal operating frequency, may be determined based on the coupling factor. Power may be inductively transmitted in accordance with the minimal operating frequency and the maximal operating frequency.

A contactless charging drawer for smart garments using magnetic coupling links. A frame with a primary coil creates a magnetic field which couples with a secondary coil disposed a drawer. Smart garments, or any device, can then be safely charged in the drawer. The combination provides for a wireless power charging environment while adding an extra degree of freedom in impedance transformation without the need for electrical contacts to the drawer.
