The initial focus of the partnership will be volume production of copper nanoparticles for inks used in electronics, solar cell, and printed circuit board applications.
The system will combine temperature control, wired and wireless communications options, and a software platform for developing, deploying, integrating, and managing pervasive device applications at the lowest level.
The government will fund efforts to develop an improved sensor for monitoring CO2 in geologic subsurface structures to ensure safe retention.
The Frost & Sullivan report "Advances in Sensors for Automotive Applications" predicts an expanding market, driven by growing regulatory demands and decreasing costs.
The two companies will collaborate on the development of defensive systems that integrate video technology and radiological-detection devices to thwart dirty bomb attacks.
The government will fund efforts to develop nanoparticle inks and processes used to print photovoltaic cells for use in solar cell applications.
The Frost & Sullivan report "Advances in Thin-Film Batteries" has also identified growing interest in replacing conventional batteries with thin-film batteries in applications such as RFID tags, sensors, smart cards, and labels, as well as portable devices.
Sunovia and EPIR have discovered a method to rapidly produce the material, which will greatly reduce the cost of high-efficiency solar cells and night-vision detectors and cameras.
STMicroelectronics and Mobileye deliver system-on-chip implementations that take the active safety concept to a new level by increasing processing power six fold.
