Will the new iPhone 6 wireless charging technology support, is still unknown, but the fact that Apple is working in this direction, no doubt. On Thursday, the Bureau of patents and trademarks issued U.S. patent on the technology of magnetic resonance imaging of the near field (Near-Field Magnetic Resonance, NFMR). To recharge the electronic devices need to be placed in the "recharging virtual zone", the radius of which is approximately 1 meter.
Wireless charging is not unique. On sale for a long time have smartphones and tablets that can be charged without cables. But today, these solutions reduce to the fact that the device should be placed on a special stand. It also charges the device using electromagnetic induction.
Such a method of energy transfer further limits the user: the device, unlike the traditional cable, generally should not be handled. The technology is used for charging in public places and in the devices for which important leaks (eg, toothbrushes).
But the technology described in the patent Apple, designed once and forever change our ideas about charging mobile electronics. The fact that it does not require special work platform, and the location of the device is not limited to a certain area on the table. Radius NFMR is about one meter (!)
For example, it will be possible to forget charging the wireless mouse and the keyboard. The computer can act as a resonator, and the energy transfer in this manner to the peripheral device. If NFMR embed in a smartphone or tablet, it will be possible to charge them, just putting next to the computer.
Resonator and the receiver will not work consistently. To connect devices NFMR plan to use Wi-Fi, Bluetooth or NFC. In the case of the mouse, keyboard and other similar devices is not required: and so they are connected using Bluetooth or Wi-Fi and simply inform the computer when recharge is required.
Technology NFMR provide truly revolutionary possibilities. It will completely abandon the wires in the workplace. Single cable and the power cord is a laptop. The only question is how long it will take to NFMR moved from the category of the patent in the actual technology used.
