Apparatus, a system and a method for enabling electromagnetic energy transfer

An apparatus with a charging fixture for electromagnetic energy transfer to a plurality of electronic devices with pick up circuits for receiving the electromagnetic energy, the charging fixture comprising:

• a contact surface configured to be contacted by a charge receiving surface of each of the electronic devices during electromagnetic energy transfer, a rear surface and a pair of opposite, parallel sides extending between the contact and rear surfaces, the electronic devices including an engaging mechanism which engages the sides of the charging fixture on opposite sides of the contact surface with the charge receiving surface in a plane parallel to the contact surface;
• a plurality of circuits, each circuit including a primary winding and a sensor which senses a presence of a one of the plurality of electronic devices adjacent the primary winding of the respective circuit;
• wherein the primary windings are positioned in a partially overlapping array along the contact surface,
• wherein in response to one of the sensors sensing the one of the electronic devices adjacent the primary winding of one of the plurality of circuits, the one of the sensors activates the primary windings of the one of the plurality of circuits, wherein
• the charging fixture and the contact surface are elongated substantially in one dimension, and
• the partially overlapping primary windings are arranged in a single row along the one dimension.
