The consumer tech marketplace offers a range ofpad-based charging systems that require contactbetween smartphone and charging mechanism. Thedream, however, is to create a wireless in-roomnetwork, much like Wi-Fi, that instantly chargesdevices when you're in range.
消费者技术市场提供了一系列以衬垫为基础的充电系统,这些系统要求手机和充电器相连。然而,人们一直梦想着创造一个像Wi-Fi一样的室内无线系统,可以在有限范围内不断为设备充电。
A San Jose-based company called Energous is busycreating WattUp, a wire-free charging system that can power gadgets up to 15 feet away usinga combination of RF (radio frequency), Bluetooth and other imperceptible tech. Thecompany is aiming to have WattUp embedded in devices ranging from smartphones to toys asearly as next year.
一个名为Energous的圣荷西本土公司正忙于研发WaitUp,这是一款能够和无线电配率、蓝牙和隐形技术一起使用,在15英尺外给小配件充电的无线充电系统。公司希望最早在明年,WaltUp可以嵌入从智能手机到玩具的各类装置。
Arriving even sooner is the XE from TechNovator, a company out of Poland and Ukraine. The XEis a tower that communicates via electromagnetic resonance with a smartphone case that thensafely translates those energy waves into electricity. TechNovator plans to launch with aKickstarter campaign in November focusing on iPhone 6 and 6 Plus cases.
波兰和乌克兰的TechNovator公司的XE出现的更早。XE是一个通过电磁感应和智能手机交流的塔楼,他可以安全地把那些能量波转化为电流。TechNovator计划在十一月推出针对Iphone 6和Iphone 6
But while the XE tower is impossible to ignore, uBeam is aiming for a base station that is allbut invisible and takes the form of a wafer-thin ceiling tile. And while initially uBeam may usesmartphone covers to transfer power, eventually one option could be to embed small chipsdirectly into handsets, according to uBeam founder Meredith Perry, 26.
尽管XE无线塔不容忽视,但是uBeam正致力于搭建一个无形的基站,它看起来像是一层薄薄的天花板瓷砖。首先,uBeam可能会用智能手机来传递能量,但是据uBeam创始人Meredith Perry解释,最终可能会直接在手机中嵌入芯片。
The Santa Monica-based start-up has raised $23.2 million from the likes of Mark Cuban, MarissaMayer and super-agent Ari Emanuel. While still very secretive about her tech, Perry is doggedlyfocused on a vision for wireless charging that aims to do away with power cords.
圣莫妮卡初创企业已经从向Mark Cuban,Marissa Mayer和超级经纪人Ari Emanuel这样的粉丝中筹集了2320万美金。虽然她的技术仍然很神秘,Perry仍然固执地致力于去除充电线的无线充电幻想中。
Perry is one of four guests at USA TODAY's Change Agents Live event Sept. 29 in SanFrancisco.
Perry是将于9月29日在圣弗朗西斯哥举行的今日美国变革代理商直播活动的四位嘉宾之一。
