It's not clear how are you planning to use this code to pass values from your modal form but there are several problems with your current code:

1. ; is missing at the end of variable assignment
2. read values from input fields using val() instead of getting jquery objects of them
3. use variable names in data object of post method instead of literals ("id", "name")

Try this to see that variables are passed and echoed in a callback function

var id = $( "#id" ).val(),
    name = $( "#name" ).val();

$.post("jqtest/test.php", 
       { device_id: id, device_name: name },
       function(data){
            alert(data);
        }
);
