An induction coil is any object used to stabilize an edge (or edges) of another pattern without touching. While still lifes and oscillators can be used as induction coils, there are also many induction coils that are not stable by themselves.
Examples
The tubs on the sides of the Gray counter are used as induction coils, as are the blocks and snakes used in the Hertz oscillator and the heptomino at the bottom of the mathematician.
