mPhase Technologies, Inc. (XDSL.OB) Weekly Recap 6/27/2008
mPhase Technologies, Inc. (XDSL.OB) Subsidiary Working to Create a “Smarter” Battery Friday, June 27th, 2008
mPhase Technologies, Inc. (BB: XDSL), working through their wholly owned subsidiary, AlwaysReady, Inc., is a technology development company focusing their efforts on the evolution of nanotechnology and micro-fluids to improve battery performance. AlwaysReady is in the midst of developing their Smart NanoBattery, a reserve lithium battery designed especially for portable electronics. The company believes that their patented technology can be a revolutionary advancement in the storage and management of energy.
The company discovered a new way to separate the liquid electrolyte from the solid electrodes that in turn keeps the battery fully charged until the user activates the battery. This allows for the battery to be stored for decades without losing energy, which will reduce the number of batteries consumers buy and throw away. The company refers to the Smart NanoBattery’s approach to power management as Power on Command.
According to mPhase, their Smart NanoBattery is the first reserve lithium battery with virtually infinite shelf life, automatic, manual or remote activation, and the perfect size for today’s portable electronic devices. The battery is also environmentally friendly, because it doesn’t get thrown away as often as standard batteries, therefore reducing unwanted chemicals and metal waste in landfills.
As of now, mPhase’s patented AlwaysReady Smart NanoBattery is under development for emergency equipment and memory backup applications. There are numerous commercial and military applications that can benefit from the Smart NanoBattery, ranging from unmanned sensors, emergency flashlights and alarms, to backup power for cell phones and medical and health-alert devices.
mPhase Technologies, Inc. (XDSL.OB) Possesses Great Potential with the Smart NanoBattery Wednesday, June 25th, 2008
mPhase Technologies, Inc. (OTCBB: XDSL) and its wholly owned subsidiary AlwaysReady, Inc., is developing the Smart NanoBattery with a mechanical activation mechanism that is expected to position the company competitively against conventional battery manufacturers and capture substantial market share. This mechanically activated Smart NanoBattery provides Power On Command™ and offers greater user control and energy storage than standard batteries. This proves to be a much-needed feature in various portable electronics markets like emergency devices and sensor markets.
The construction of the Smart NanoBattery consists of an internal breakable barrier that separates the liquid electrolyte from the battery’s electrodes. When the barrier is intact, the chemicals have no way of mixing and the battery is not active, therefore preserving all the inherent energy without any discharge or leakage. As long as the battery is in this state, it can be stored for decades without a noticeable decline in potential energy. When the barrier is broken, the electrolyte contacts the electrodes, beginning the chemical reaction that provides power to the emergency device. The device would then be on full power.
“The ability to separate the liquid electrolyte from the solid electrodes can improve the reliability of a broad range of portable electronic devices and opens new markets for us,” said Fred Allen, CEO of AlwaysReady. “It is a distinct competitive advantage that other battery companies just don’t have. With their batteries, power dissipation begins the day they are manufactured. That is just not an efficient use of potential energy.”
Other mechanical activation methods are being pursued by the company. A possible application would be to initiate battery activation by dropping an appropriately designed device from some significant height, such as dropping a fleet of sensors from an airplane, as activation would occur on impact. This application could be used in the agricultural and military arenas.
mPhase/AlwaysReady, Inc. (XDSL.OB) Nanobattery Shows Resiliency in Gun-Fired Test Wednesday, June 25th, 2008
mPhase/AlwaysReady, Inc. (OTCBB: XDSL) recently announced that a prototype of their smart nanobattery was successfully deployed in a gun-fired test at the Aberdeen Proving Grounds in Maryland. The initial test was conducted by the U.S. Army Armament Research, Development, and Engineering Center (ARDEC) of Picatinny, New Jersey. The test consisted of the battery delivering power to the test load inside a standard military anti-tank round (M830A1 or Heat-High Explosive Anti-Tank) and demonstrated superb resiliency, as it survived the harsh environment and the tremendous acceleration at a g-force in excess of 45,000 (m/s2).
AlwaysReady and the U.S. Army have been associating with one another for a while, and the gun-fired test was part of a prototype evaluation process that the Army is conducting as part of their CRADA (Cooperative Research and Development Agreement) with the company. Engineers from AlwaysReady worked with a team from Picatinny involved in the development of precision guidance components, in order to successfully package the reserve electrochemical storage system that can operate during a very high “g” round. The company hopes that they can incorporate this battery technology into smart, gun-fired munitions programs being developed by Picatinny.
“This impressive test result provides another solid data point which speaks to the applicability of this technology for military use,” commented Dr. Fred Allen, CEO of AlwaysReady. “Our battery provided power ‘on command’ exactly when it was needed. We look forward to bringing more technological advantages to the military as well as commercial applications.”
Mr. Carlos M. Pereira, the ARDEC Advanced Precision Concepts Branch chief and principal investigator, stated, “‘This battery successfully initiated upon firing and operated flawlessly throughout the test. We are pleased that the AlwaysReady battery performed as intended, especially given the extremely harsh environmental conditions of the test. This will facilitate further development of our guidance systems.”
mPhase Technologies, Inc. (XDSL.OB) Announces Security & Defense Expo Award Wednesday, June 25th, 2008
mPhase Technologies, Inc. announced that its wholly owned subsidiary, AlwaysReady, Inc., received an award at the Mid-Atlantic Security & Defense Expo held June 19th in Princeton, New Jersey, and sponsored by the New Jersey Technology Council.
mPhase Technologies and AlwaysReady are the inventors of the Smart Battery, and as such are undisputed leaders in global battery technology. Using more than ten technology patents, mPhase and AlwaysReady have revamped the concept of the battery to create a product that is environmentally friendly, has a potentially infinite shelf life, generates lower manufacturing costs, provides for flexibly arrayed power configurations, provides almost instantaneous power, and allows for versatile packaging. This revolution is the first real advance in battery technology in 150 years.
The Mid-Atlantic award was presented to recognize AlwaysReady’s revolutionary advancements in batteries for use in consumer electronics, commercial applications, and military electronic devices. mPhase was one of forty original applicants for this prestigious award, only four of which were handed out by a panel of independent judges from organizations representing the security and defense industries.
The expo was attended by more than 150 industry professionals, who viewed both existing and “futuristic” products and services designed to assist the defense and Homeland Security industries. The award-winning Smart NanoBattery could be used to provide reserve power for munitions or remote sensors, and also to activate emergency alarms and portable lighting for first responders and others in the event of a national crisis.
Commenting on the award, Fred Allen, CEO of AlwaysReady, said: “We are delighted to have received another award from the NJTC. We believe this award is another source of validation as our Smart NanoBattery as a valuable battery with significant potential applications in the Defense and Security markets. It is gratifying to have our efforts recognized and appreciated, especially within this competitive and rapidly growing industry.”
