Humavox

Humavox is a physics topic covered in the lgStudy science library. This page brings together a partial reference excerpt, illustrations, worked examples, real-world applications and a short study plan, so you can understand Humavox rather than just read about it. In short: Humavox Ltd. is an Israeli startup that has developed a radio frequency (RF) based wireless charging technology for wearables, hearables, IoT, enterprise, consumer electronics and healthcare devices, including hearing aids. Humavox's hardware platform, ETERNA, will be licensed to device manufacturers to enable wireless charging of their devices.

Key takeaways

Humavox belongs to physics; place it in that map before memorising details.
Learn the definition first, then one example that makes the definition concrete.
Connect Humavox to a quantity you can measure, compute or draw — that is where exam questions come from.
Reproduce the core statement of Humavox from memory before moving on to harder problems.

Reference excerpt

Humavox Ltd. is an Israeli startup that has developed a radio frequency (RF) based wireless charging technology for wearables, hearables, IoT, enterprise, consumer electronics and healthcare devices, including hearing aids. Humavox's hardware platform, ETERNA, will be licensed to device manufacturers to enable wireless charging of their devices.

History Humavox was founded in 2010 by CEO Omri Lachman and VP Innovation Asaf Elssibony. In 2014, the company was awarded the ECN Impact award and Frost & Sullivan Gil award for Technology Innovation Leadership. In 2016, the company joined the Airfuel Alliance and holds the vice chair position in the Uncoupled Power Working Group (UPG). In June 2016, Humavox merged with Australian company Aurum Inc. and raised 16 million dollars in the merger.

Technology The company's technology is based on radio frequency (RF) wireless charging. It uses a power transmitter (NEST) that transmits RF waves over a broad band of frequency waves, and a receiver (Thunderlink), which is embedded in the target device. The receiver consumes the RF energy and converts it to voltage to wirelessly charge the battery. The company also uses an algorithm (ETERNA Charging Optimizer) to ensure effective Rx and Tx coupling and to control the charging process.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Humavox

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Humavox claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In physics, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to Humavox before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about Humavox ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of Humavox

In research: Humavox appears in physics research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses Humavox in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: Humavox is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics Electronics companies of Israel, Privately held companies of Israel, Wireless, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Humavox outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.

Frequently asked questions

What is Humavox in simple terms?

Why does Humavox matter?

Because it connects several physics ideas at once: it gives you a definition you can apply, a quantity you can calculate, and a way to check whether a result is plausible.

How should I study Humavox?

Read the excerpt, restate it from memory, then work through the examples and applications listed on this page. The five-step study plan above takes about twenty minutes.
