Industrial Solutions
Our Industrial Solutions Group is dedicated to incubating and commercializing disruptive solutions that enhance global security. Our primary focus is on cyber and physical asset security. In the realm of cyber security, our emphasis lies in neuromorphic processors and spiking neural network-based applications. For physical asset security, we employ non-destructive optical techniques to ensure the integrity and origin of physical assets precisely when required. This encompasses a wide range of items such as microchips, medical devices, pharmaceuticals, fasteners, and structural frames. Notably, our vTag® technology, recognized with prestigious awards, has spun off into Covisus Inc., a dedicated supply chain organization. Covisus addresses critical needs for brand protection, counterfeit prevention, and regulatory compliance across consumer, aerospace, and medical industries, offering enhanced supply chain assurance.
SUPPLY CHAIN TRACEABILITY
Item-level traceability is a critical requirement in regulated industries such as Medical Devices, Pharmaceutical, Aerospace, Food, and Automotive. It serves to safeguard users and brands against substandard products like counterfeits, recalls, and underperforming items. Traditional methods like visual tags (barcodes, QR codes) and RFID often fall short in providing item-level traceability, particularly when direct affixing or printing onto small items is not feasible or when it may affect item performance or pose regulatory obstacles. Covisus Inc., our dedicated spin-off company, specializes in supply chain traceability using our proven vTag® technology. This innovative solution addresses significant supply chain challenges without introducing additional markings or modifications to the items. With vTag®, we ensure brand traceability, security, and authenticity in the supply chain.
NON-DESTRUCTIVE TESTING
When conducting inspections and maintenance on platforms like aircraft and ships, assessing their integrity traditionally relies heavily on qualitative visual observations. However, these observations can be subjective and yield inconsistent and non-reproducible outcomes. To address this challenge, we have introduced a quantitative optical tool that utilizes spectral analysis. This innovative tool allows us to precisely evaluate the aging process and estimate the time-to-failure of outer mold lining, paint quality, and underlying structural integrity of aircraft and ships. With our solution, we aim to provide accurate and reliable assessments for enhanced maintenance practices.
SpiNNMo
The technology is a platform for adapting conventional deep analog neural networks (ANN) into spiking neural network equivalent that can be run on neuromorphic chips. These neuromorphic chips are an emerging technology that aims to provide high-speed AI inference on low-power devices using biology-inspired approaches. This technology can find applications in many battery- powered devices that need to interpret continuous signals from video, audio, and RF sensors. ChromoLogic uses the unique approach of converting trained ANN’s to spiking networks using sigma-delta neurons and has demonstrated the principle of conversion. Our goal is to integrate this technology into government and prime contractors working on battery-powered sensor systems.
MC-CAM
ChromoLogic LLC is developing a Membrane Contactor based CO Absorbing Module (MC-CAM) to protect divers from hypercapnia by timely removal of generated CO with diver’s surrounding seawater as an in‑nite absorbent. MC-CAM is based on the fundamental fact that CO solubility in water is over 30 times higher than other components of air, speci‑cally oxygen (O) and nitrogen (N). MC-CAM uses novel hollow ‑ber membranes (HFM) pioneered by the ChromoLogic Team to selectively remove CO from exhaled air and dissipate it into surrounding water body with no distinguishable bubbles.
MASE
Membrane-based Alkaline Seawater Electrolyzer (MASE) is designed to continuously generate high-purity oxygen underwater using only seawater and electricity. By integrating membrane-based water vapor extraction with electrolysis, the system converts seawater-derived water into oxygen to support extended diver missions while meeting the Navy’s Size, Weight, and Power (SWaP) requirements.
