Embodiments of the present disclosure generally relate to systems and methods for providing access to information associated with electronically tagged goods. In one implementation, the system may include at least one processor configured to store tag IDs of a plurality of tags; and receive a pairing between a particular tag ID and a product ID. The at least one processor may also be configured to receive a pairing between the particular tag ID and an authorized entity associated with the particular tag ID; and receive, from a requester, a query including an encrypted tag ID of the particular tag. The at least one processor may also be configured to decrypt the encrypted tag ID; determine if the requester is the authorized entity; fulfill the query, if the requester is the at least one authorized entity; and deny the query if the requester is not the at least one authorized entity.

Embodiments of the present disclosure generally relate to a wireless identification fraud avoidance system and methods for use thereof. In one implementation, the system may include at least one transmitter configured to transmit a first signal to a plurality of identification tags and to cause the identification tags to transmit a second signal. The system may also include a first, proximate receiver configured to receive the second signal from the identification tags. The system may also include a second, more distant receiver configured to receive a third signal from a tag outside a transmission range of the at least one transmitter. The system may also include at least one processor configured to generate a potential fraud alert when the second receiver receives the third signal.

Embodiments of magnetic field transfer circuits and methods for wirelessly charging electrical load herein. In one example, a magnetic field transfer circuit (MFCT) includes a first coil and a second coil. The first coil is configured to receive a first magnetic flux transmitted from a transmitter and convert the received magnetic flux to a current. The second coil is configured to transmit a second magnetic flux to a receiver based on the current.

A wireless power system may include an electronic device and a removable case. The electronic device and removable case may include wireless charging coils that are inductively coupled when the electronic device and the removable case are physically coupled. In a first mode, while the removable case is inductively coupled to the electronic device and the electronic device is not connected to a wired power source, a coil in the removable case transmits wireless power signals to the electronic device. In a second mode, while the removable case is inductively coupled to the electronic device and the electronic device is connected to a wired power source, the coil in the removable case receives wireless power signals from the electronic device. In a third mode, the removable case receives wireless power with a first coil and transmits wireless power to the electronic device with a second coil.

A resonant frequency power generator is disclosed. Specific implementations include a base, a magnet suspended within the base through one or more flexible connectors, and a coil disposed around the magnet. The magnet and one or more flexible connectors may be configured to vibrate at a resonant frequency emitted by a speaker, and the vibration of the magnet may generate electrical power with the coil.

An intermediate device for supporting a power transfer to an electromagnetic load (505) from a power transmitter (201) providing a power transfer electromagnetic signal comprises a resonance circuit (507) that includes a coil (701) and a capacitor (703). The coil (701) is arranged to electromagnetically couple to the power transmitter (201) and to the electromagnetic load (505) such that energy of the power transfer electromagnetic signal from the power transmitter (201) is concentrated towards the electromagnetic load (505). A hollow support structure (1001) has a laterally positioned air inlet (1205) and a centrally positioned air outlet (1207). The coil (701) is mounted on the hollow support structure (1001) and disposed around the central air outlet (1207). The device further comprises an air flow generator (901) for creating a flow of air into the air inlet (1205).

Embodiments of the present disclosure generally relate to a wireless identification tag configured to harvest ambient energy and transmit an identification signal intermittently, and system and methods for use thereof. In one implementation, the tag may include an antenna configured to receive ambient energy. The tag may also include an energy storage component configured to aggregate and store the received ambient energy. The tag may also include a transmitter electrically connected to the energy storage component and configured to transmit the identification signal. The tag may also include a circuit connected to the transmitter and configured to implement an identification transmission rule, to cause the transmitter to delay sending the identification signal even when sufficient energy for transmission of the identification signal is aggregated and stored in the energy storage component.

Embodiments of the present disclosure generally relate to a wireless identification tag configured to collect and store ambient energy for use in delayed transmission, and system and methods for use thereof. In one implementation, the tag may include a receiver for receiving ambient energy; a first capacitor for storing the ambient energy; and a second capacitor for collecting and storing the ambient energy. The second capacitor may have lower capacitance than the first capacitor. The tag may also include an inductor interconnecting the first capacitor and the second capacitor. The tag may also include circuitry configured such that ambient energy received by the receiver is initially stored in the second capacitor and subsequently transferred to and stored in the first capacitor. The tag may also include a transmitter electrically connected to first capacitor, to enable the energy stored in the first capacitor to power the transmitter.
