Future of Wireless Charging Standard -Qi.

By iMobino
Charging your smartphone while driving could become a simple process within 2014 by using a special wireless charging standard known as Qi.

Japanese auto giant Toyota plans to introduce the system for mobile devices in 2013 in its new cars.It will be popular within 2014 .The wireless charging option will be a part of "technology innovations"  of additional features in cars .

How It works

A person will simply have to place the cellphone on the car dashboard , though the handset has to have an integrated Qi protocol in order to be charged. Qi works via magnetic induction that involves transmitting energy over a magnetic field.

Qi wireless charging is currently supported by 34 mobile phone models and there are also add-on systems for other smartphones. They have  built in inductive charger which has wireless charging capabilities from a distance of 1-2 meters from the charger base.

History of Qi

Inductive charging plates have been around for several years, and have been integrated in some mobile phones, such as the Palm Pre.

However, in 2008, the Wireless Power Consortium, which has more than 100 phone brands as members signed an agreement for an open standard for wireless power, called Qi, which means that any Qi-enabled handset is compatible with a Qi charger, regardless of the brand.

Barriers
  1. Technology Diffusion
  2. Non Standardization of wireless charging devices, Variety  charging mats currently available on the market .
  3. Cost effectiveness


New Business Opportunities

There are companies investigating wireless charging via induction for electric cars, which works by having a charging pad on the floor of your garage.

Need of charging pads for mobile phones in shopping malls and public places.

Future of Plastic Currencies in India

By iMobino
Financial Minister P Chidambaram had announced that the plastic copies of Rs.10 are going to come out soon. Reports indicate that the different countries in the world are also going to follow this path.  This decision is going to bring about a great change in the field of notes. The tradition of using paper for making notes by banks for about 300 years is going to be changed.  Only low value notes like 10Rs will come out first. Only later will the high amount notes will be issued. The opinion of the experts in the financial field is that no hurry is required for the issue of plastic notes. In the present situation of increasing fake note issues there is an opinion of using technology to trace notes that would be more advantageous.
