I would have to say that it can mean a variety of different subjects, such as Induction cookers/heaters with using eddy currents, but also could mean the use of Heavy Duty Eddy Current Braking, where eddy currents are used for electromagnetic braking.
What i have found useful to help me in these types of questions is the Excel Physics Hsc book you can purchase, from a book store or newsagents.
i hope it helps,
