It looks like they've given up on things like efficiency, and turned to producing endless mis-shaped prototypes instead, those enclosures might be surplus from something else, plenty of ventilation needed to get 0.8W into a phone battery!
The good news is that with that rate of size reduction it will vanish completely in less than 1 year.
Tainted comparison picture... First prototype appears to be a "MEB", ie mostly empty box on the side view. I'm used to seeing MEBs in marketing demos... Make the investor think they are getting something, or harvested from the local surplus yard are the big driver of MEBs...
EDIT: latest proto looks three D printed, and those big vents are going to cause issues in a commercial environment.

Boom-tish!
More bragging on twitter.
New VP of Engineering:

And a whole host of new hires it seems, burning through the new cash in the pointless pursuit of ultrasonic charging

The attentive eye will note that they aren't the size arrays, so size comparisons are kinda
I love that the size comparison has the largest enclosure open, showing that its mostly empty.
Looks to me like you could fit the largest into the middle just by switching to properly sized backplanes.
Methinks the large one was a former case from a certain brand of large laser scanning confocal microscope and held a bunch of Eurocard modules.
If not that, it's structure certainly was done by the same design team.

A case of the Emperor’s New Clothes if ever there was one.
While they're busy measuring empty boxes and posting junk, their site's certificate has expired.
For those who may be interested, the Acoustical Society of America will host a webinar on "Ultrasound and High Frequency Sound in Air in Public and Work Places: Applications‚ Devices and Effects" tomorrow, Wed May 9th 2018 (11:25 to 11:45am Pacific). If interested, the link to register is:

"uBeam transmitters are designed to sit discreetly in any location without calling attention to themselves and without disrupting style and flow. A uBeam transmitter might sit on a bookshelf or coffee table in your home appearing no bigger than a book or coaster. In the office, warehouse or complex, transmitters could be strategically installed under desks, on the wall of a conference room or next to a cabinet in a break room. "

I hope the keen investors are suitably impressed with uBeen's recent product launches, and all the revenue they're now generating.
The
only thing they have of any value is the transducer IP, which I have been very reliably informed is worth a pretty penny.
If they are the least bit smart, uBeam can keep the Titanic afloat for a lot while longer.
Of course their silly charger tech will never work, for many blindingly obvious reasons

, I can't think of anything that isn't already done.
I think some of uBeen's cartoons show laptops on desks, with the US TXs built into the surface of the desk.
Seems like they should be studying uBeam's employees.
Or the beta testers in Cuba and China.
"Since it's..."
If I google the 2nd half of the url I can read it in the first link(News for...).
There's not much there, US beams mixing and producing LF, and the embassy sicknesses.
