Daanaa’s brand-new, near field non-inductive power transfer chip-based technology transfers energy freely, safely, and efficiently, from 1W up to 10kW. It is designed to integrate with existing technologies and hardware to reduce costs, complexity, and power losses, including the elimination of wires, cables, and connectors. Features include near-field spatial freedom, direct integration, one-to-many scalable power (1W-10KW), bi-directional power transfer, and parallel data transfer, through materials such as wood, concrete, and plastic.

Search and Data Platform for Electronics Industry. Data-driven products impacting research, design and collaboration aspects of hardware product development.

FLX Solutions is disrupting the robotics industry with highly functional and intelligent robots that are miniaturized to operate in spaces that humans and traditional robots cannot easily access. Our first product, The FLX BOT is a patented, snake-like robot that is one inch in diameter and expands, braces and climbs to perform many customizable actions. Our modular robot is made up of identical, interchangeable links that have a camera to enable 3D mapping and autonomous navigation. Each robot has interchangeable end effectors including drills, grippers, vacuums or sprayers. The FLX BOT will initially target the cable/telecom, oil/gas, and construction/plumbing industries and will partner with large companies in other industries to license its IP. The company is led by mechanical engineering PhD, Matt Bilsky, who has assembled a team of engineering, operations and growth experts to help bring his vision for the future of robotics to life.

Sense provides high-resolution energy monitoring for your entire home. Sense analyzes one million samples per second to provide you with energy insights, home awareness, and peace-of-mind from anywhere.

Tangram Pro is a game-changing capability for digital engineering. By automating software integration processes that are currently manual and labor-intensive, our tool reduces the time and skill-level needed to produce testing data, documentation and certification, getting capabilities from concept to warfighter at a pace that is relevant and responsive. ~~~~~~~~~ With a name and lineage like Galois (our parent company), our family tree is one of the most respected in the field. Good genes run deep. Galois’s distinguished reputation in cryptography, hardware and software assurance, and formal methods are at our disposal and we’re taking what they’ve uncovered in their research and providing it to the world. Our reputation and track record has attracted the world’s top defense companies and leaders spanning multiple industries. We apply rigidity in order to safeguard inventing for the future.

Using massive data analysis of connected device firmware and software, Finite State provides transparency to device manufacturers and asset owners, enabling them to understand and mitigate their risks before they are compromised. The Finite State Platform automatically analyzes each device, allowing users to identify risk across a comprehensive matrix of factors. Simply upload your device firmware to our platform and within minutes you will gain access to an overall risk score, a robust Software Bill of Materials (SBOM), a list of existing threats and vulnerabilities, and a wide array of other factors that affect the security of your device.

We provide multi-discipline product development services, as well as tools to enable developers. We're a rare firm that has expertise in Hardware, Firmware, and higher level Software. We love building small embedded devices that talk to smart phones. We can do everything from schematic design and circuit board layout, to firmware, to building full featured iOS applications.

OceanComm is introducing the equivalent of WiFi to the subsea industry (ocean exploration, offshore oil and gas, deep sea mining, defense, etc.). We use ultrasound, rather than radio waves, to make this possible.
