TRANSPORTATION - AVIATION - EVTOL AIRCRAFT, RAIL, TRUCKING, AUTOMOTIVE, NON ROAD MOBILITY MACHINES (NRMM), MARINE - COMMERCIAL & LEISURE

Our more than 25 years in the Transportation market began with a tire-pressure monitoring battery manufactured by Maxell, the global leader in high-temperature lithium coin cells that meet Department of Transportation specifications. From there, JLM technologies expanded to primary electrification for the last five years related around lithium -ion and sodium-ion battery cells, modules, and even raw materials ( anode, cathode ), Battery Management Systems for Fast Charging, and EV Charging Stations.

We typically select proven consumer electronics technology to apply to the automotive industry. By choosing technology that only requires modification, we can reduce the engineering cycle in half – often cutting the time to 18 months from 36 months. Our proven strategy is to work with advanced engineering teams on new technology roadmaps and execute a fast-track development program.

Today, we work with OEMs in North America, Europe, Japan & S. Korea. Also, we have potent partnerships with Germany’s top automotive / truck manufacturers Tier 1 & 2 suppliers Volkswagen-Audi-Porsche, BMW & Daimler, Bosch & Continental. One new developing niche has been Marine OEMs creating the world’s adoption of electric boats.

How Electrification is Powering a New Era of Transportation

It was 134 years ago when a patent for the world’s first gas-powered automobile was issued to Carl Benz after he walked into the Imperial Patent Office in Berlin, Germany, on Jan. 29, 1886.

Even though Benz, and several other early automotive inventors, picked the right powertrain solution from many options at the time – one that has proven to be very effective for more than a century – it still took decades before the internal combustion engine (ICE), gas-powered cars were widely adopted in the U.S. and other countries.

A similar transition is happening today, from ICE-driven vehicles to electrified propulsion systems for cars and trucks. There may be scepticism, even frustration, that the move to hybrids and battery electric vehicles hasn’t happened faster or reached higher volumes since the modern-day electrification movement began in the 1990s.

For example, while battery companies are tweaking cell design and chemistries, we’re improving integrated power modules and battery management systems to more efficiently package components and manage power – further boosting range and shortening charge times, eroding the advantages offered by internal combustion engines for longer road trips and quicker stops to fuel up.

Aviation & Marine

We are transitioning electric aviation and marine power. It is not likely to have electric aeroplanes until battery technologies improve, as planes remain impacted by the problems of weight and power. Marine commercial & leisure have moved mostly out of Europe as Norway is leading the world.

New battery technologies can make electric vertical take-off and landing aircraft (eVTOLs) and electric aviation a more realistic mode of transportation. As we shave off battery weight, we can enable them to go the distance. Opening up airspace to eVTOLs will require batteries to be able to undergo extremely fast charging. Like the fossil fuel-powered planes of today, electric planes will need to recharge fast to allow for more flights (which equals more customers). Transitioning electric aviation from a novelty to true functionality is what we’ve been waiting for to reduce the emissions of every flight radically.

Technology: High-temperature lithium coin cells   

Market: Tire Pressure Monitoring Systems

Maxell succeeded in commercialising their first Silver Oxide button battery in Japan in 1976.  Since then, various technologies and battery designs have been developed, one of which is Maxell’s most successful heat-resistant CRHR Coin Cell Battery.  Designed for Tire Pressure Monitoring Systems (TPMS) this product line is one of the most innovative and robust technologies in the Maxell product lineup.

These batteries are designed into monitoring devices inserted within automobile tires and are required to operate in extremely harsh environments. With temperatures between –40oC and +125 oC, gravitational acceleration of 2,000G, and speeds up to 300km/h these batteries are designed to withstand incredibly rugged conditions.  As an expert in the field of batteries, Maxell has selected unique materials and applied proprietary technology for uniform Mixing, Dispersion & Sealing (forming) to prevent leakage of liquids while achieving long-term stability and excellent performance.

CRHR Advanced Technology Features: 10 Years’ Operating Performance & Wide Operating Temperature Range

High Sealing Property – Crimping seal technology is a critical feature in the design of coin cells, and it was once considered unrealistic to achieve 10 years’ life compared to laser sealing. However, Maxell realized over ten years’ life adopting brand-new gasket material with crimping seal configuration achieved through CAE (Computer Aided Engineering).
This feasible crimping technology contributes to higher capacity retention and low impedance throughout ten years of field use.

Seram - ThermaSiC As A Coating By Atmospheric Thermal Spraying Disruptive Anti-Wear For Brake Disc

Tormmod Gjestland veg11 3936 Porsgrunn, Norway

Thermal spray coatings with a new breakthrough product one of the world’s hardest materials, and also lightweight. Main area of interest is disk brakes to lasts almost indefinitely .

Key Properties

• Superior corrosion and abrasion protection

• Superior performance at high temperatures

• Very high hardness

• Low weight

• High deposit efficiency (80%)

• Very dense (< 1%)

• Low surface roughness (< 4μ Ra as sprayed)

• Thin or Thick coatings (<50um to >5000um)

The properties of SiC makes it highly attractive as a coating for many industrial applications. Mainly due to extreme hardness in combination with a low friction coefficient and to being chemically inert. It also has a very low density compared to e.g. Tungsten Carbide (WC), which makes it attractive in applications where weight is of importance. The low density, together with the low price of bulk material, makes it a cost-effective competitor to most hard coating materials on the market.

Seram Coatings is the only supplier of SiC-based thermal spray coatings. ThermaSiC can be applied with key thermal spray processes such as for example atmospheric plasma spray and detonation gun.

SPARATECH II DEVELOPMENT ROBOTIC PAINT PROTECTION SYSTEM FOR AUTOMOBILES 

ST Davids, PA — As JLM  a tech scout for Fortune 500,  and on occasion my own startup companies. Robotic detailer has over 20 years of research mainly in sensor area. Sparatech 2 is Robotic Paint Protection System for automobiles specifically new car prep and special advance coatings. A  R&D program for companion robotic auto detailer that can be automated or semi automated to handle the end of the month “rush” and done at the dealership with current setup typically one or two bays at their wash systems site. 

The New Car Prep is a service that allows brand new cars that have never been properly detailed before to have factory imperfections removed.  A New Car Prep allows the opportunity to extensively look over and examine the entire vehicle for defects and imperfections. After the exterior of the car has been washed and prepped, it is dried off via a portable air unit as an extra measure to make sure that the paint is touched as least as possible. From this point forward, the vehicle is treated to an extensive single stage of machine polishing. Once the vehicle has been thoroughly polished, there are several different forms of protection as wax, sealant,ceramic or graphene coating. The “upgrade’’ from wax is an expensive finish ceramic / graphene coatings as a very time consuming the state of art process. Dealership charge close to $2,000 per application versus a wax clean prep at $200. The add time is about four more hours but need good training typically by a professional detailer.  

The skill to be robotically automated is no easy task even at R & D engineering level. Ceramic coatings for auto paint protection is the new wave and moving towards graphene basically the some form of carbon . Most competitors use Silicone (Siloxane/ Polysiloxane/ Polydimethylsiloxane) based formulation for their nano ceramic coatings or the so-called glass coating. The quality of Silicone based nano ceramic coating is based on the ratio to solvents diluted. However, they all limited to improvement in terms of bonding with the substrates. Even when the pure content of Silicone in their nano ceramic coatings is more than 90%, the bonding strength is still weak since inorganic Silicone based nano ceramic coating had to be bound with Silicone based nano ceramic coating creates an additional hard layer of quartz/glass-like silicone dioxide (SiO2) which lays on top of substrates; only acts as a sacrificial layer on the surface without excellent covalent bond. Other than improving the hydrophobic effect, it does not offer good performance like durability, heat, chemical, scratch resistance, graffiti and stain resistance. Although they are very cost effective, but its efficiency will decrease significantly over the time.organic painted surface.

Graphene is said to be the “miracle material” due to an abundance of beneficial properties. Even in its simplest form, a thin one atom thick substance is the lightest, strongest and thinnest material known to man. Being a carbon-based material coupled with the presence of oxygen functionalities, graphene oxide can be dispersed in organic solvents, water and polymer matrixes. This compatibility as a filler with polymer coatings is crucial. Graphene reduces heat on the substrate, making water spotting much less likely and bird droppings come off with ease, without damaging the coating or substrate, unlike ceramic coatings.

Currently JLM client GDTC carbon is being evaluated as high resistance material with auto paint manufacturers.  The advances in software, sensors and direct activating devices are making robotics more practical and affordable. “The sensors, cameras and other components of self-driving cars will find their way to carwash equipment, bringing down the cost and creating devices that can operate in the carwash environment.”  While the idea of infusing innovation, robotics and automation into the auto detail  process is nothing new, what has evolved in recent years has been the potential of robots to replace labor in critical areas of the auto detailing.  Note McKinsey Global Institute on the future of automated work across the global economy. Miremadi studied job functions in automobile dealerships and found that between 30 and 50 percent of the work currently being performed by humans could conceivably be done by machines in the future. While that might seem like a huge potential productivity gain in favor of automation, Miremadi cautions that an impeding factor is likely to stifle development. “Technology has to be cost competitive with human labor, and right now technology in its current form is simply too cost prohibitive,” he said. “Also remember the economy has to make room for the new jobs and skill sets that will be necessary to operate and program these machines.”The Auto OEM would sell the system to their dealer network especially high end vehicles. This is more aftermarket feature and not related to auto performance.  The  auto brand main channel is their global dealerships with establish sales.  Currently  JLM is in discussions with auto paint coating manufacturers for  R & D project under $2M. The robotic system can be complete within twelve months as camera system needs more fine tuning.

flash lidar key differences

Phantom Intelligence brings LiDAR from the analog to the digital age with a signal processing technology which increases ranges by a factor of 3x (longer distance) and provides a 5x faster refresh rate. This means more precise distance and speed estimation, and the lowest false positive reads on the marketplace. 

Now recognized by the automotive industry as a leader in the field, Phantom Intelligence is actively looking for new applications of its technology. 

Phantom Intelligence reduces collisions by making reliable obstacle detection systems affordable to all vehicles. Phantom Intelligence’s collision warning sensor technology can be trusted where other sensors fail. Compact, low-cost and without moving parts, LiDAR sensors powered by Phantom Intelligence meet stringent automotive requirements to provide 360 degree awareness. 

To meet this objective, Phantom Intelligence provides signal processing algorithms that enhance the range and reliability of LiDAR (laser-based) obstacle detection devices.  We currently showcase this technology within solid-state low to medium resolution "Flash" LiDAR sensors for collision warning applications, providing accurate detection of vehicles, pedestrians and other targets under conditions where camera-based systems would fail (low-light, camera saturation, low-contrast, obscurants such as rain or snow etc.).   

Since early 2015, provide our clients with a technology evaluation platform (the "AWL"), in order for them to better understand our approach and assist on the specification of their customized requirements.  

The following documents will help you better understand LiDAR and the Phantom Intelligence advantage:
