WiTricity Corporation make devices that allows wireless charging.
WiTricity is also developing technology for wireless charging of electric vehicles and, later, for use in implanted medical devices like heart pumps, said Katie Hall, its chief technology officer.
The technology is based on magnetic induction -- the process used to recharge electric toothbrushes. In the toothbrush, the base has a magnetic coil that generates a magnetic field. A second coil in the toothbrush captures some of that field, inducing an electric current.But electric toothbrushes transfer power only from the primary coil to the secondary one at very close range. Move the brush a short distance from the base, and it won't charge.
WiTricity has signed a technology transfer and licensing agreement with MediaTek, a semiconductor company in Taiwan, to collaborate on systems for wireless charging of mobile handsets, tablet computers, game controllers and other devices, Mr. Giler said.

AFP - RELAXNEWS (English International Version)
Two film stars, Michael Douglas and Paul Rudd, are to share the title role in the next film from "The World's End" director Edgar Wright, due 2015.
After Robert Redford's stint in "Captain America: The Winter Soldier," Marvel has recruited another legendary actor for an upcoming blockbuster in Michael Douglas.
The 69-year-old will become the face of Henry Pym and hand over the Ant-Man moniker to Scott Lang, the new hero played by Paul Rudd.
Ant-Man first appeared in print in 1962 and has become the alter ego for a number of Marvel characters; the film sees Lang succeed Pym as the electronics whizz in charge of wearing the Ant-Man mantle, able to shrink, grow, and communicate with insects.
Dated for July 31, 2015, "Ant-Man" should also result in the character's addition to the supporting cast of the next Avengers film, set for mid-2018.
Despite a time of global recession, the “Digital Universe” expanded by 62% and by 2020 it will be 44 times as big. We will have amassed digital information that can be described in zettabytes – that is to say, one zettabyte being a million, million gigabytes. This would be the equivalent of a stack of DVD’s going halfway to Mars.
This includes: public transport tracking; workplace surveillance, examination of communications (collecting data on all phone calls, emails, chat room discussions and web-browsing habits); mobile phone tracking; vehicle tracking; DNA database sampling; overseas travel; collecting data on political and environmental protestors; and using unmanned aircraft systems (drones) for purposes of security.
effective tools to analyze data, weed out the information that can be safely deleted, remove personal information that can cause us harm if it falls into the wrong hands (including hackers or unethical online businesses), and we need secure storage
