Finalister i konkurrence om wireless power er fundet
30 finalister er nu udvalgt i en konkurrence om nye applikationer inden for wireless power, som er udbudt at IDT og Digi-Key (in english).
Integrated Device Technology (IDT) has announced that 30 finalists have been selected from 119 entries in a contest to develop a novel application for IDT’s wireless power reference kits. Introduced in August for the mass market, the 5 W kits provide proven wireless power technology in a format that can easily be integrated into designs, enabling developers not familiar with the intricacies of wireless power to incorporate the capabilities into a broad range of products. The contest is hosted on the Hackster website.- We have been absolutely overwhelmed by the response and the diversity of ideas submitted, says Laurence McGarry, director of product marketing for wireless power at IDT.
- We have seen enormous interest and traction since introducing these kits to the market, validating that wireless power has crossed the chasm from early adoption to a broad range of use-cases and applications.
The 30 innovators have been sent the wireless power kits and must now build their projects using the kits and Digi-Key’s Scheme-it tool. Winners will be announced March 6 and will receive Samsung products wirelessly powered through IDT chips.
Ideas that made the preliminary cut include a wirelessly powered:
• environmental sensor
• mouse and keyboard
• auto-recharging dog tracking collar
• kid-safe table charger
Additional entries included a:
• Floating wireless ambient light
• Wireless power case for Arduino Uno
