eCoupled gets you power without the cord

Okay this news update is really tech+engineering heavy. Reminds me of my engineering days and how I used to hate electrical engineering. Anyway eCoupled(TM) is looking to launch its revolutionary technology, at 2007 International Consumer Electronics Show(CES), that transmits power and data without the power cords. In other terms, you don’t need to chug along your powercords to charge your myriad devices.

Fulton Innovation’s intelligent inductive power technology overcomes historic limitations of inductive coupling by using resonance-seeking circuitry that dynamically seeks and optimizes power transfer under multiple, varying load conditions and spatial configurations.

Conventional inductive coupling typically requires careful “tuning” of the power supply circuit with the device being powered. Only minor variations in the physical positioning and power requirements of the inductively powered are tolerated. Any variation in either the load or the positioning of the power supply relative to the device can severely impact performance.

eCoupled technology addresses the limitations of spatial rigidity, static loads and unacceptable power losses. The eCoupled technology power supplies adapt to multiple loads and spatial configurations while maximizing energy transfer efficiencies by dynamically seeking resonance between the power supply and device at high frequencies to achieve the optimal coupling coefficient under all conditions. Energy efficiency is increased over conventional inductive coupling with power losses as low as 2 percent, making eCoupled technology comparable to hardwired connections.
