A long-range wireless power transfer systemis disclosed. The systemcomprises at least a transmitting antennathat is configured to receive electric power from a power source as an input, convert the input electric power into electromagnetic energy, and radiate the electromagnetic energy into free space as a directional beam that is a collimated or substantially collimated beam. The rectifying antennais positioned or configured to be positioned at a distance from the transmitting antenna. The rectifying antennais configured to receive the directional beam and convert the electromagnetic energy into electricity. In certain embodiments, the systemutilise one or more phase correcting devicesto maintain the directional beam as the collimated beam and to increase a range to which the directional beam is maintained as the collimated or substantially collimated beam.

System and method for long-range wireless power transfer

In one embodiment the invention provides a process of capturing a biopotential signal at a surface of a body using a sensor receiver which forms a first signal connection the body wherein one or more parameters of impedance of the first signal connection are unknown. The process comprises receiving the biopotential signal at an output of a first signal channel having a first transfer function which is dependent on the one of more unknown first impedance parameters. The process also comprises receiving the biopotential signal at an output of a second signal channel having a second transfer function dependent on the one of more unknown first impedance parameters. The process also comprises deriving a set of relations for the biopotential signal. The set of relations is defined dependent on the transfer function of the first signal channel, the transfer function of the second signal channel, and outputs of the first and second signal channels; and solving the set of relations to determine the captured biopotential signal.
