Introduction

Samual J. Gallagher is an inventor associated with Malvern, Pennsylvania, and InductEV, Inc. His patent work addresses alignment verification for wireless power transfer systems. Gallagher is credited with 1 patent.

Latest Patents

Gallagher’s patent, “Alignment Positioning Verification and Indicator for Wireless Power Transfer,” describes a system for determining the position offset between the primary and secondary coils in an inductive power transfer pair.

The system collects radio-signal information, including signal magnitudes and phase differences, from receivers in ground and vehicle transceiver assemblies. A region classifier model helps determine whether a vehicle has entered or departed the operational charging region, while an absolute position model estimates the coils’ absolute or relative offset. A display then indicates the alignment between the coils’ boresights.

Career Highlights

Gallagher’s listed invention focuses on helping verify coil alignment during wireless charging. By combining radio-signal measurements with position models, the system can identify charging-region status and communicate alignment information to users.

Collaborations

Gallagher is associated with InductEV, Inc. His listed coworker is Edward J. Gander.

Conclusion

Samual J. Gallagher’s patent describes an approach to detecting and displaying alignment between wireless power transfer coils, supporting the positioning of vehicles within an operational charging region.
