About NuCurrent

– Company originally founded as “NeuRDS Inc.” by a team of Northwestern Univeristy graduate students following a course entitled “NuVention: Medical Innovations”.

– Initial focus addressed a problem that surgeons faced when implanting spinal neaurostimulators: unreliable power wires.

– Challenges led to invention of NuCurrent’s MLMT antennna technology, which was subsequently patented

– Intel asks NuCurrent to help with consumer electronics charging. NuCurrent’s antennas provide 10x larger charging area with 50% thinner receiver antennas and 70% thinner transmitter antennas.

– Texas Instruments asks NuCurrent for a more durable, PCB-based version of the Wireless Power Consortium’s (WPC) A6 coil for automotive applications. NuCurrent outperforms the next-best solution with a 20% greater Q factor, and Texas Instruments submits the technology and design to the WPC to become the A21 standard.

– NuCurrent works with Medtronic, St. Jude Medical and Nevro to remove wires from neurostimulators after lead wires produce failures 40% of the time.

– NuCurrent named as one of the Top 50 Influencers in Wireless Power by Wireless Power World.

– Molex becomes first large licensee of NuCurrent’s patented technology

– NuCurrent raises Series A financing from private investors including Independence Equity, Hyde Park Angels, and Harvard Business School Angels

– NuCurrent magnetics technology launches in industry-leading mobile phone

– NuCurrent announces world’s first 15W dual-mode (Qi/AirFuel) single-structure FPCB coil

– NuCurrent announces world’s smallest 200KHz receiver coil for wearable and hearable applications (10mmx6mm)

– NuCurrent announces proprietary vertical charging capability allowing devices to charge at 90-degree angles

– NuCurrent provides wireless power for diabetes pump application

– NuCurrent’s technology enables infrastructure installations in hotels, airport lounges, office furniture and sports stadiums

– NuCurrent patents novel and efficient model of through-metal charging systems

– NuCurrent develops miniature transmitter/receiver wireless connector system to replace physical connectors in medical instruments and in challenging connector environments (1.5W delivered in 10x4x4.5mm SMT package)

– NuCurrent provides proprietary systems enabling loose coupling, 1:multiple charging and wide z-gap variance for multiple applications, including durable computing, shoes, hearables and textiles

– NuCurrent provides plug-and-play modules for Qi Transmit modules for seamless integration into customer products

– NuCurrent is driving the bleeding edge of wireless power technology innovation and supporting global customers on the most interesting, challenging and important wireless power systems
