DESCRIPTION:Join Dr. Ali Saket and Mr. Eric Goodchild to learn the fundamen
 tals of free-position wireless charging and the technical challenges assoc
 iated with its design!\n\nPRESENTATION SUMMARY\n\nWireless power based on 
 the Qi standard has established itself as the preferred technology for cha
 rging mobile devices in cars\, homes\, and common spaces worldwide. A broa
 d ecosystem of thousands of interoperable devices has been built over the 
 years from leading consumer electronic companies\, all automotive OEMs now
  include wireless charging stations in their vehicles\, and the market siz
 e is projected to be $20B+ per year.\n\nTraditional wireless chargers are 
 typically capable of charging one device at a time and need precise alignm
 ent between the transmitter and receiver coils leading to frustrating and 
 poor user experiences. To improve the usability and address the limitation
 s of traditional wireless chargers\, free-position wireless charging trans
 mitters that consist of overlapping coils have started coming to market. M
 ost famously\, Apple had announced AirPower in 2017\, a free-position mult
 i-coil technology that was canceled only 2 years later due to "engineering
  challenges".\n\nFree-position wireless chargers can track the location of
  multiple receivers across the surface and position magnetic fields that d
 eliver efficient and precise power. The ultimate consumer experience is an
  ability to place multiple devices across the surface\, including smartpho
 nes and earbuds\, and effortlessly charge everything. This talk will revie
 w the fundamentals of free-position wireless charging and technical challe
 nges in designing such systems.\n\nSpeaker(s): Dr. Ali Saket\, Mr. Eric Go
