Your Linkedin profile mentions a US patent for "SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR LONG-RANGE WIRELESS POWER TRANSFER", yet the only Google result is that Linkedin profile or yours.

Is the patent application still unapproved and thus unlisted, or has it been rejected?

The patent is easy to find, but not yet public because it is still pending approval. I am interested in the technical details disclosed in it.

Almost all patent applications are published after 18 months, even if they are still unapproved, or indeed will never be approved.

The major exceptions are if the inventor files for nonpublication along with withdrawing the application (usually because they think it won't be patentable) or the US Government classifies it.
