Patent ID: 8917511

Claim:
A power transmitting/receiving device that transmits and/or receives electric power in a wireless power transfer system that transfers the electric power wirelessly via a resonant magnetic field, the device comprising: an antenna with an inductor; a heat dissipation structure with an electrically conductive thermal conductor; and an electrical insulator interposed between a portion of the conductor and the inductor, the inductor not in electrical contact with the conductor, wherein the portion of the conductor makes thermal contact with the inductor through the electrical insulator, the conductor is arranged to form no electrically closed loop, the electrically conductive thermal conductor dissipates the heat that has been generated by the inductor by transferring that heat from the inductor to a distant location, the heat dissipation structure including a cooling member, which is arranged out of contact with the inductor, and the electrically conductive thermal conductor dissipates the heat that has been generated by the inductor by transferring that heat to the cooling member.
