MAGNETIC ALIGNMENT STRUCTURES WITH VARIABLE FIELD STRENGTH - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18214399 titled 'MAGNETIC ALIGNMENT STRUCTURES WITH VARIABLE FIELD STRENGTH

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a magnetic alignment system that consists of two components: a primary annular magnetic alignment component and a secondary annular magnetic alignment component.

  • The primary alignment component has an inner annular region with a specific magnetic orientation, an outer annular region with an opposite magnetic orientation, and a non-magnetized central annular region between them.
  • The secondary alignment component has a magnetic orientation with a radial component.
  • The system may also include a rotational magnetic alignment component and/or an NFC coil and circuitry.


Original Abstract Submitted

A magnetic alignment system can include a primary annular magnetic alignment component and a secondary annular magnetic alignment component. The primary alignment component can include an inner annular region having a first magnetic orientation, an outer annular region having a second magnetic orientation opposite to the first magnetic orientation, and a non-magnetized central annular region disposed between the primary inner annular region and the primary outer annular region. The secondary alignment component can have a magnetic orientation with a radial component. Additional features, such as a rotational magnetic alignment component and/or an NFC coil and circuitry can be included.
