A device () for demagnetizing and for measuring the magnetic signature of a stationary hull () and for simulating a magnetic field, including a demagnetization coil assembly (), a magnetic field sensor assembly () and a simulation coil assembly (), which can be positioned next to the hull () in a horizontal manner on one side and the cross-sectional areas of the demagnetization coils () and of the simulation coils () being disposed in the longitudinal direction of the hull () with horizontally oriented surface normals. The demagnetization coils () produce an alternating magnetic field; the simulation coils () produce a stationary simulated magnetic field in all three dimensions.

Demagnetization and signature measurement system

A secondary unit arrangement of an inductive power transfer system includes a secondary unit having a secondary winding structure for receiving a magnetic or electromagnetic field generated by a primary unit, a detector device including plurality of detection elements for detecting an arrangement comprising the primary unit, a determination unit for determining at least one electrical property of the detector device with respect to different regions of an arrangement, thereby generating determination results consisting of a determination result for different regions of the arrangement, a comparison unit for comparing the determination results with existing information about the arrangement to be detected, wherein the existing information includes information about expected values for the different regions of the arrangement, thereby generating a comparison result, and a decision unit for deciding from the comparison result whether the determination results indicates that the detector device has detected the arrangement as expected.

Detecting an arrangement based on predefined signatures in an inductive power transfer system

The invention relates to method of detecting an arrangement having a primary unit of an inductive power transfer system and/or a secondary unit of the inductive power transfer system. The method including: using a detector device to detect the arrangement, the detector device having at least one electrical conductor, determining at least one electrical property of the detector device and generating determination results consisting of a determination result for each of different regions of the arrangement, and comparing the determination results with existing information about the arrangement to be detected. The existing information includes information about expected values for the different regions of the arrangement, thereby generating a comparison result, and deciding from the comparison result whether the determination results indicate that the detector device has detected the arrangement as expected.
