14 DAY TRIAL // The Ottawa inventor Atif Shamim is trying to brevet one of his creations that might revolutionize the mobile battery industry altogether. He has come up with a solution that all engineers only dream of and that the iPhone developers have failed to produce so far.
Being only a student at Carleton University, the inventor developed a wireless connector that was said to get mobiles to use up to 12 times less energy, thus enormously increasing the life expectancy of a battery. This invention first came in the shape of a project, or a paper that was to presented in the Microwave Journal, and has already received much praising and applause.
After being named the best paper at the European Wireless Technology Conference, the inventor's confidence in his project was ultra boosted, so now he seems to have filed applications in the U.S. and Canada to receive approval for patenting the invention.
The technical details behind this development are very complicated, but in words of everyday use a packing technique has been designed so that all the wires and circuits connecting to the antenna will not be needed anymore. Moreover, the connection is to be implemented by means of a wireless connector, which saves up a more than a significant amount of battery energy. As Shamim himself has stated, through this new connector the energy consumption will be lowered 12 times.
As far as his incredible technology was concerned, Mr. Shamim declared that “This has not been tried before — that the circuits are connected to the antenna wirelessly. They’ve been connected through wires and a bunch of other components. That’s where the power gets lost.”
Since Shamim stated his interest in coupling the finished connector with devices such as the iPhone or with Blackberry products, a huge problem is going to be solved for Apple. Ever since 2007, when critics clamoured against the iPhone needing a high power energy usage and presenting a short life expectancy for the battery, the company has been trying to solve these issues, but has not been too successful in this direction.
When it came down to his interest in the iPhone, Shamim also stated that “It’s a common problem. There are so many applications in the iPhone, it’s like a power-sucking machine.” After the iPhone will be implementing this technology, the price for switching each of its products with these wireless connectors will be of $89 plus an extra $10 for shipping to Canada.
Furthermore, besides Shamim, Mr. Arsalan and David Nadeau have also been congratulated for their contribution to the development of the connector.
