NOVELTY - A wireless power delivery system comprises a set of flat electrodes comprising a surface. The electrodes are powered by a control unit and when operation, generates a predetermined voltage potential. Receiver devices (20) rest upon the surface to receive wireless power. A system controller monitors and delivers power to surface electrodes. A spark suppression circuit prevents a spark if a short is suddenly presented across the charging pad (10) during operation, and employs low output capacitance.    USE - Wireless power delivery system for electronic or electrically powered device. Uses include but are not limited to cell phone, computer, radio, camera, personal digital assistant, digital recorder and playback device, hearing aid, global positioning system receiver or transmitter, medical instrument, or other portable device that is equipped with charging contacts and associated electronic circuitry.    ADVANTAGE - The system has a design that provides universal compatibility among a wide range of receiver devices. Different mobile devices can share the same power source, thus eliminating multiple alternating circuit adapters. Further, the system includes contacts in a constellation pattern that form a geometrically complementary pair with conductive strips on the pad to ensure power transfer regardless of orientation of each particular device on the pad.    DETAILED DESCRIPTION - INDEPENDENT CLAIMS are included for:    (1) an active rectifier comprising a MOSFET and a controller;    (2) a squelching power supply;    (3) a system of active diodes and a squelching power supply forming an active bridge rectifier, where the rectifier has the characteristic that at low input voltages rectification is performed by the intrinsic diodes of the MOSFET and that at high voltages rectification is performed by the active diodes; and    (4) a module comprising a set of contacts compatible with the geometry of surface electrodes on a power delivery surface, a rectifier, and a power conditioning unit.    DESCRIPTION OF DRAWING(S) - The drawing shows a perspective view of a charging pad including a power delivery support structure and an enabled device to be charged.
