Soon power comes not from the socket. Instead, monitors, notebooks and tablets in the future powered by energy from the desk top and connected as if by magic to the Internet. At the CeBIT show business, is to go like that. The laptop on the table - and as if by magic, power and data flow from the disk to the computer, without wires.
This is one of the visions that are from the world's biggest IT fair CeBIT today to experts and interested lay people will be impressed. According to "plug and play" to "park and play" come. It shall in any event, the researchers from the Fraunhofer Institute for Electronic Nano Systems (ENAS) before.
They have developed a technique that should finally banish the last really important cable from computer technology, the power cord. In future, it will be shown at Cebit, could laptops, tablets and monitors energy directly relate from the table, without cables and distribution outlets. Stand up and get going, 'park and play ", just.
Approaches in this direction, there have been several times. The first practical application of wireless energy levy had invented Berlin gardeners, as they in their thirties, radio receiver so enclosed that it transformed the transmitting energy into electricity to operate a light bulb.
What was good in warm summer nights to illuminate the gazebo was banned at that time but the gardeners. To date, work is underway to refine the underlying technology so that it is suitable for everyday use. Chip maker Intel in 2008 showed about new research on this topic, the market's outlook for 2013.
Meanwhile, mobile phone maker Palm, integrated now part of HP, similar technology in its mobile phones. And it is retrofit the Powermat charging devices, with which you many smartphones later somewhat bulky, but can also make wireless rechargeable. A hot spot in the table Powermat and Palm have in common that they only charge the terminal itself wirelessly.
You still need to have an appropriate charger on the table and plug into the socket. Ultimately, you win that is only a little comfort, because you must plug into the slot in any mobile phone. The Fraunhofer-development is to change that to make the charger redundant. The trick: The SUPA (Smart Universal Power Antenna) above technique can be directly incorporated into various surfaces.
An example is shown at the Cebit, a conference table, in which the Chargers in the form of an antenna structure is integrated invisible from the outside. Thus, the entire table to the transmitter to a hotspot for energy. Appropriately equipped devices can be so easily put on the table and already they are receiving power.
Less cables, less power consumption, and not only that About the underlying wireless USB technology (CWUSB) non-current data can also be transferred. A notebook equipped with SUPA off the table would thus not only provides energy, it would also be in the network - and particularly safe.
The reach of technology is not merely limited to about five centimeters. Who wants to listen to the radio data, the Heard would move very close to my body. A positive side effect: The radiation exposure to users is low. Also explain the SUPA developers, the system is not only practical, but could also help save money.
They calculate that a working group of four people currently need four sockets and eight data cable, in order to work. With the SUPA could reduce this burden on a cable, namely the one that connects the table with the socket. And electricity, so the argument is, it can also save because a power supply of the table gives less power loss wasted as heat as the four that would otherwise be necessary.
Soon, in trains and planes? That and how it works, Fujitsu shows at the Cebit in so-called Planet Reseller, which is a shame, because access to this area have only dealers and the press, but not normal visitors. A monitor you want to show there, which is supplied with electricity via SUPA and image data, one can therefore raise the cost of running a corner of the table to another.
Only the 22-inch model is only a design study, but already 2012, Fujitsu bring appropriate monitors in the market. "We firmly believe that cable will soon be passé in monitors, thanks to this development," says Fujitsu manager Rajat Kakar. Has built the futuristic display does not, however, Fujitsu alone.
The major corporation seeking the assistance of the medium-sized PC makers Christmann, the Fraunhofer technology in Fujitsu's integrated monitors and has brought it all work. And CEO Wolfgang Christian man can also imagine quite different scenarios for the use of SUPA technology. Except Meeting desks could be for example, the folding tables in ICEs and aircraft or desks in hotel rooms with the wireless-technology fit, which would decrease business travelers the nuisance, always lugging around heavy power supplies with them.
For the time being but this is still science fiction. For before train and Lufthansa have the idea to use such a technique would be the first spread far enough. Just as W-Lan, for example - and that took about ten years to really reach the mass market.
