Abstract:
1. A system comprising: a network having a plurality of nodes, the plurality of nodes including a first node, an intermediary node, and a second node, the first node configured to transmit energy to the second node, the first node magnetically coupled with the second node by the intermediary node, the plurality of nodes including at least one controllable node having a selectable performance parameter and the plurality of nodes including at least one sensor, the at least one sensor configured to generate a signal corresponding to energy received by the sensor; and a controller having an output coupled to the at least one controllable node, the output determined based on the signal and wherein the performance parameter is selected based on the output, wherein efficiency of energy transfer from the first node to the second node corresponds to the performance parameter and wherein the first node includes the at least one controllable node.
