`ABSTRACT
`(57)
`In embodiments of the present invention improved capabili(cid:173)
`ties are described for a method and system comprising a
`source resonator optionally coupled to an energy source and
`a second resonator located a distance from the source reso(cid:173)
`nator, where the source resonator and the second resonator are
`coupled to provide near-field wireless energy transfer among
`the source resonator and the second resonator and where the
`field of at least one of the source resonator and the second
`resonator is shaped to avoid a loss-inducing object.
