Reinforcing recycling, rerouting refuse, and reducing wasteflows

Waste Recovery & Management Tech

<div>
 
 Redivivus is a Colorado-based company that provides end-of-life battery logistics and the recovery of critical energy materials using its patented and trademarked Redi-Shred and Redi-Cycle technologies.
 
 
 Redi-Shred, which is the company&rsquo;s battery logistics solution, is in the testing phase and is yet to be unveiled as of May 2023. The system comprises three main components: 1) Cryogenics to slow down the thermal kinetics of batteries; 2) specialized shredding equipment and conveyance; and 3) a neutralizing bath to prepare the material for transport. The process involves freezing batteries, shredding them into fine pieces, neutralizing the latent potential energy of the batteries, and transporting the shredded material to a recycling facility for further processing. Redi-Shred aims to generate revenue through pick-up fees for collecting and processing used batteries, as well as by selling inert battery material.
 
 
 Redi-Cycle is the company&rsquo;s lithium-ion battery recycling process that uses a hybrid approach, combining hydrometallurgical and electrochemical recycling to convert battery materials into secondary materials of high purity. The end product is a metallic alloy known as &ldquo;Redivivus Nickel,&rdquo; consisting of nickel and cobalt. As of May 2023, Redivivus has completed a proof of concept (PoC) for Redi-Cycle. During the PoC, a minimum recovery rate of 92% was achieved for nickel and cobalt, ensuring high purity for Redivivus Nickel. Additionally, other elements such as copper, manganese, iron, and lithium were also recovered at significant levels. Redi-Cycle expects to generate revenue by selling Redivivus Nickel and various scrap materials produced as a result of the recycling process. (May 2023)
 
 
 Key customers and partnerships
 
 
 In September 2021, Redivivus signed an agreement with Power Global, a leading provider of high-performance clean energy, to support Power Global in transforming the lifecycle of lithium-ion batteries.

Revolutionizing construction with sustainable practices to build faster

Prefab Tech

Geoship develops movable modular single-family houses. The company offers two sizes of dome-shaped structures—a studio dome of 200 square feet and a family dome of 800 square feet, which includes a loft that can be combined to create living spaces. Studio domes were priced at USD 30,000, with a family dome priced at USD 100,000.The modular panels of the house are factory-built as triangles and assembled on-site to form the required shape. Ceramic composite (CC), which is the main material used, is a resilient substance made of lightweight and fireproof minerals. CC also reflects around 80% of the heat from the sun, which helps maintain thermal comfort by utilizing less energy. The specific shape of the house requires less material and the company reports that the overall cost of developing a Geoship house is 40% less than traditional construction. Geoship houses can be disassembled and rebuilt elsewhere or recycled.In January 2022, the company announced the installation of the first Geoship unit in the California mountains and the opening for pre-orders. The company also launched an equity crowdfunding campaign to raise up to USD 5 million to build a factory that can produce “thousands” of homes annually and to pilot production. The company has reportedly collected 400 paid deposits as of January 2022 with 30,000 interested customers.

Passenger eVTOL Aircraft

<div>
 
 Headquartered in Colorado, XTI Aircraft is a leading aerospace company that specializes in the development of VTOL aircraft, as well as conventional takeoff and landing vehicles. XTI is known for its flagship aircraft, the TriFan 600, which combines the benefits of a helicopter and a business jet and is able to operate from helipads, airports, or any improved surface without the need for new infrastructure or airspace regulations. The TriFan 600 is capable of vertical takeoff and landing, providing the flexibility to access remote areas and urban environments, and is protected by patents issued in the US, Canada, Japan, China, and Europe.
 
 
 As of May 2023, XTI Aircraft was taking a strategic and cautious approach with the TriFan 600, introducing an innovative and groundbreaking aircraft to the market with two fuel-efficient turboshaft engines that could operate with 100% sustainable aviation fuel (SAF). Simultaneously, the company was advancing the development of hybrid-electric and eventually all-electric propulsion systems. This approach considered the progression of technology, the formulation of regulatory guidelines, and the establishment of infrastructure. By carefully navigating these factors, XTI aimed to ensure the successful integration of cutting-edge technologies in its aircraft and pave the way for the future of sustainable aviation. The aircraft, with two fuel-efficient turboshaft engines, has a VTOL range of 700 miles, which could be increased to 850 miles if conventional takeoff is used. The TriFan 600 VTOL aircraft was not expected to enter production until 2027, as the program schedule had been delayed by up to three years.

From counting steps to saving lives and beyond

Wearable Tech

Tap Systems is a company that has developed a wearable keyboard called Tap Strap (later rebranded as TapXR). This device allows users to input text and commands by tapping their fingers on any surface, with the movements being tracked by sensors embedded in the wearable. The Tap Strap/TapXR connects to devices via Bluetooth and can be used with phones, tablets, smart TVs, virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) headsets.
The company's technology works by sensing the user's finger taps and decoding them into digital signals. It does not follow the traditional QWERTY keyboard layout. Instead, tapping one finger represents a vowel, while combinations of finger taps represent consonants and other characters. This approach allows users to type and control devices without relying on physical keyboards or touch screens.
One of the key advantages of Tap Systems' wearable keyboard is its ability to enable fast, accurate, and discreet input without causing fatigue. The company claims that users can achieve typing speeds of over 70 words per minute with one hand using the TapXR. Additionally, the device offers over 100 customizable commands, providing a versatile input method for various applications.
Tap Systems positions the TapXR as a solution to the lack of comfortable interaction methods for AR/VR/XR headsets. The company believes its wearable keyboard will enable wider usage of these technologies for productivity, commerce, and the metaverse by allowing users to type, select menus, and interact more efficiently.
In October 2022, Tap Systems launched the TapXR, which features full keyboard emulation, over 99% accuracy, 10 hours of battery life (plus 14 days of standby), the ability to tap on any surface, and compatibility with any Bluetooth-enabled device. The TapXR also includes a six Degrees of Freedom (6DoF) inertial measurement unit (IMU) for hand and finger tracking, open-source SDKs, and two size options to fit all users.

Healthycell is based on the simple idea that nutrients need to be absorbed into the bloodstream and then into cells where they work to improve health. But most supplements use the same pill-form delivery technologies that were around in the 1930's, back when we were using rotary phones! Our nutrient delivery technologies have not kept pace with the innovation of other industries. Decades of lab work show that most pills (and even powders) have low absorption. These older delivery systems compress dehydrated, large, dense, insoluble particles that are 10x to 100x too big for absorption through the small intestine where the human body absorbs most nutrients. That's why we forced the evolution of nutrition supplements with MICROGEL™.
