mPhase Technologies,
Inc. said it presented at the New Jersey Technology Council (NJTC) Nanotechnology
Prototype Showcase in Mid-October at the Babbio Center, Stevens Institute of
Technology, Hoboken, New Jersey.
Nanotechnology is finding its way into more and more applications. Getting
to a final product, however, is challenging from both technical and commercial
standpoints. Once a concept has been proven in the lab, reaching the prototype
stage in product development is pivotal in planning a manufacturing route and
recognizing business opportunities. mPhase/AlwaysReady is currently developing
products based on its Smart NanoBattery, with its proprietary superhydrophobic
and electrowettable membrane, as well as a manually activated reserve battery
with a breakable separator for an emergency flashlight application. At the Showcase,
CEO and President of AlwaysReady, Dr. Fred Allen, demonstrated the principles
behind the Smart NanoBattery and also demonstrated the manually activated reserve
battery. He also moderated a panel discussion titled, "The Inventor / Investor
Challenge - Bridging the gap between prototype development and product commercialization."
Said AlwaysReady CEO Fred Allen, "We were glad to be participate in this
NJTC event to show the rapid progress we have made in developing our Smart NanoBattery
and reserve flashlight. Nanotechnology is playing an increasingly important
role in consumer, industrial and military applications, and mPhase/AlwaysReady
is focused on delivering nano-enabled prototypes and products as rapidly as
we can."
