Best receptions on the road
One of the biggest aspects of the year-long Drive for Innovation has been the logistics; connecting and organizing meetings at hundreds of companies, usually located in places we had not visited previously. Here are some of the best (and innovative) receptions we encountered: 1. Analog Devices: ADI communications folks pulled out all the stops for our visit to Wilmington, Mass. They organized a huge
The wireless power challenge
SAN JOSE, Calif.–Wireless charging (or inductive charging) will be a significant market in the coming years, despite the inefficiencies found with contemporary charging systems. The technology will get better over time, efficiency will improve and the bill-of-materials will shrink as integration increases. There are any number of vendors in the space, so why would an established company like IDT venture
