The technology for charging devices has been around for billions of years, well not quite that long but you get the idea.Charging up electric cars, such as the Tesla Roadster, wirelessly though is a tough challenge to say the least. A new device though, made by Fulton Innovation, aims to solve that problem with their new system called ‘eCoupled’. Shown at this year’s CES, the system is powerful enough to charge large devices such as cars. The car, using a special adapter underneath, is charged without wires, simply by parking the car over an eCoupled-enabled pad on the ground. An accompanying iPhone application monitors the progress of the vehicle’s charging, and can also provide parking garage and fleet operators with a convenient way of monitoring and price-charging vehicles using their charge locations. Also on display will be an eCoupled-integrated cereal box to show how consumers will soon be able to monitor their kitchen inventory wirelessly. Nutritional information, quantities, expiration dates, and other information can be managed and monitored wirelessly through a PC or mobile device that they claim is better and more secure than using an RFID chip. Consumers will benefit from being able to better manage what and how they consume on a daily basis while also making informed decisions about those products.
