Fulton Innovation’s eCouple technology is being billed as “intelligent wireless power.” A process called “near-field inductive coupling” allows for devices to charges or run other devices. Place a blender on a slab with an eCoupled chip inside, and the blender can start whirring.
The Fulton folks have come up with an intelligent inductive coupling technology that essentially allows a device to be charged simply by putting them down on any surface. The catch is that the device has to have an inductive coupling coil and chip set imbedded within it, and the table- or countertop has to contain matching coil-fed spots. A table top would be built with pencil eraser-sized magnetic induction coil spots such as the one in the picture above, designed to charge and/or power a induction coupling-enabled device placed over one.
