US Patent 11558498 Sealed device mounting structure with power and communication

A mounting system for an electronic device provides wireless power and wireless communications to the electronic device. The mounting system includes a transmitter coil arranged on a vehicle component, and an adaptor that selectively attaches to the vehicle component and includes a receiver coil. The coils are inductively coupled when they are within a predetermined distance from each other, whereby the receiver coil wireless receives communication signals and electrical power transmitted from the transmitter coil. The electronic device is mounted on the adaptor, and thus mounted on the vehicle component. The electronic device is electrically connected to the receiver coil, and thus receives the electrical power and communication signals from the receiver coil.
