A Thompson Coupling is a High RPM, High angle, constant velocity joint between to turning shafts. The TC is used in a wide range of applications from the automotive industry, trains and on the rotor shaft of helicopters.

There are many like flexible coupling, jaw coupling, sleeve coupling, tire coupling, pin and bush coupling, rigid coupling, etc
There are probably many contenders for the title 'Most significant'. Because it changes the basic, underlying principles involved in what used to be called a constant velocity joint, the 'Thompson coupling' recently invented in Australia by Glen Thompson would qualify. Previously to this invention, constant velocity joints were not truly constant velocity. The Thompson coupling is truly constant velocity and is claimed to save about 8% of the previously wasted energy.
