Motorola, Teikon and Neah links or alumni
Polaris Battery Labs, Morris' new Beaverton-based manufacturing and testing lab that might even the playing field for U.S. battery companies.
The battery industry is "completely dominated by Asian companies, yet all of the inventions come out of the U.S.," said Morris, 57, who has acted as a consultant for battery startups since 2003.
Morris previously spent 21 years with Motorola. He recently served as vice president of operations at battery company Enevate.

Motorola, Teikon and Neah links or alumni......plus the ownership of the largest chip foundry Ne Xt terra like the Paul Sildo video...lots going on in Abu Dhabi.
The Neah video showed the batteries made on the silicon foundry chip equipment, it would seem if a company just upgraded its chip making equipment and was the largest (as called out in the video) chip making company that they could well use the older equipment to make the new Neah batteries.... NeXt Terra as in the title of the video.... coincidentally located in Abu Dhabi. (hardly a coincidence) and to top it off the Head of the company (Global foundries) is from Motorola Mobility....the same company that head of the Polaris Labs used to work for that just so happen to have an interest in (from the stickies)

https://www.bizjournals.com/albany/news/2015/07/14/why-the-former-ceo-of-globalfoundries-is-joining.html
By Chelsea Diana – Reporter, Albany Business Review
Jul 14, 2015, 14:12pm
Doug Grose has worked for semiconductor giants like IBM, Hitachi Global Storage Technologies, AMD and was the former CEO of GlobalFoundries. Now he's been courted to work for BessTech, an Albany, New York, startup with a giant goal — to make batteries that charge faster and last longer.
Grose will leverage his semiconductor expertise and network as chief technology officer of BessTech to introduce the battery company to new techniques used in the semiconductor industry.
"I do still have a lot of connections and network within semiconductors in all aspects of both the people who design semiconductors the people who develop the equipment and even in the material space and some in the manufacturing side," Grose said in a conference call in between meetings at SEMICON West, which is being held this week in San Francisco. "Those connections I'll leverage as part of the strategic roadmap as we build business out."
BessTech, co-founded by Fernando Gómez-Baquero, develops ultra-thin lithium-ion batteries for use in consumer electronics like wearables, electric vehicles and other applications. It was the first spin-off company to come out of SUNY Polytechnic Institute in Albany.
Gómez-Baquero and his team are working to commercialize technology that will make lithium-ion batteries operate more efficiently. Grose's connections with the semiconductor industry, especially with semiconductor suppliers and equipment manufacturers, will help bring BessTech's batteries to commercialization.

https://www.reportlinker.com/p05126486/Defense-Fuel-Cells-Global-Market-Outlook.html
According to Stratistics MRC, the Global Defense Fuel Cells Market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 9.4% during the forecast period.
Factors such as use of fuel cells as environmentally viable energy-on-demand solution, enhanced efficiency of fuel cells and increasing awareness about the benefits of the fuel cell are boosting the market growth. In addition, acceptance of fuel cells to decrease dependence on imported oil is one of the key trends which help the market to grow. However, lack of fuel cell infrastructure and high price of the catalyst, which raises the price of fuel cell are restricting the market.
Direct Methanol Fuel Cell (DMFC) is a fuel cell that runs directly on methanol (or various liquid fuels) without having to first convert those fuels into hydrogen gas. It consists of two electrodes separated by a proton exchange membrane (PEM) and connected via an external circuit that allows the conversion of free energy from the chemical reaction of methanol with air or oxygen to be directly converted into electrical energy. A solid oxide fuel cell is a fuel cell that produces electricity through an electrochemical process and offers many benefits. Its flexibility in the usage of fuels is an important factor that will encourage the prospects for market growth.
Easy operation and portability of SOFC devices has led to rising applications in military. Emerging fuels such as syngas, pure and impure hydrogen, and biofuels can be used to operate solid oxide fuel cell. Because these fuel cells can tolerate fossil fuel impurities like ammonia and chlorides, they are extensively being used for a number of applications.
The global market consists of different international, regional, and local vendors. The market competition is expected to grow higher with the increase in technological advancements and mergers & acquisitions activities in the future.
Moreover, many local and regional vendors are offering specific application products for varied end-users. Asia-Pacific is likely to register major value generating region during the forecast period. Countries such as China, Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan will account for the high market share where the growth of the market is mainly driven by the rise in investments and advancements in technology.
Some of the key players in global market include WATT Fuel Cell Corporation, Ultracell, SFC Energy, Protonex, Neah Power Systems, General Motors, Direct Methanol Fuel Cell Corporation, Delphi Automotive, Bloom Energy and Altergy.

presence of Motorola alumni
within those ranks,” Renaldi said. “Not surprisingly, you’ll find these Motorola alumni at startups which are at the intersection of hardware and some type of consumer electronics integration. Battery solutions, RF technologies, industrial design. These are all the bread and butter of Motorola.”
Renaldi noted there are other Chicago startups founded by Motorola vets that are currently in stealth, which he declined to name.
“Motorola boasts some of the best engineers in the world,” Chicago VC Rick Desai said in an email. “As they depart Moto they will emerge in a new Chicago landscape–one that supports entrepreneurship, including an increasing focus on hardware. With our eco-system mitigating many of the typical startup risks, I expect these engineers and product visionaries to found the next great hardware startup in Chicago.”
The trend of Motorola vets launching new hardware startups is due in part to engineers itching to start something new. But the flood of available tech talent came when Motorola cut 500 employees last summer, creating a surge of Chicago engineers looking for work. Companies like Jiobit and LightPad have been able to fill their teams with Motorola engineers with years of hardware experience.
“What (those layoffs) led to are teams forming outside of the company who very quickly were able to staff up every expertise that they needed,” said Patel, whose consulting firm has worked with many of the Chicago startups formed by Motorola alums.
“THIS IS DEFINITELY THE TIP OF THE ICEBERG.”

Globalfoundries sure would have the equipment to make the neah batteries given its change over to new chips and new equipment....
GlobalFoundries (stylized as GLOBALFOUNDRIES) is a semiconductor foundry headquartered in Santa Clara, California, United States.[3] GlobalFoundries was created by the divestiture of the manufacturing arm of Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) on March 2, 2009, expanded through the acquisition of Chartered Semiconductor on January 23, 2010, and further expanded through the acquisition of IBM Microelectronics on July 1, 2015. The Emirate of Abu Dhabi is the owner of the company through its subsidiary Advanced Technology Investment Company (ATIC). On March 4, 2012, AMD announced they divested their final 14% stake in the company, which concluded AMD's multi-year plan to divest its manufacturing arm.[4]
The firm manufactures integrated circuits in high volume mostly for semiconductor companies such as AMD, Broadcom, Qualcomm, and STMicroelectronics. It has five 200 mm wafer fabrication plants in Singapore, one 300 mm fabrication plant in each of Germany and Singapore, and three fabrication plants in the United States: one 200 mm fabrication plant in Vermont (where it is the state's largest private employer) and two 300 mm fabrication plants in New York.[5]
Sanjay Jha is the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of GlobalFoundries
ormer top Qualcomm and Motorola executive Sanjay Jha has taken a job as head of GlobalFoundries, an outsource semiconductor manufacturer based in Silicon Valley.
Jha was chief operating officer of Qualcomm before leaving in 2008 to become chief executive of Motorola Mobility. He ran the company until it was sold to Google in 2012 for $12.4 billion.

Semiconductor Lithography Plays Role in 5nm Transistors and Improved Li-Ion Battery
Large-scale adoption of wearable devices will depend on availability of two important technologies: improved batteries and higher density transistor circuits. These two technologies have been made possible by semiconductor lithography.
http://www.powerelectronics.com/power-management/semiconductor-lithography-plays-role-5nm-transistors-and-improved-li-ion-battery
Sam Davis | Aug 02, 2017
Announced at the 2017 Symposia on VLSI Technology and Circuits conference in Kyoto, Japan, IBM and its research alliance partners, GlobalFoundries and Samsung
Enovix sounds alot like Neah Power approach...both have FormFactor alumni and Motorola..
Enovix has built a new battery platform with an orthogonal approach that extends beyond chemistry to modern science and technology disciplines. Figure 2 illustrates how the Enovix 3D SiliconTM Lithium-ion Battery platform decouples the performance characteristics, which enables much greater innovation in materials, design, production, and packaging. With this approach, incremental improvements in each of these separate characteristics can collectively produce significant overall increases in battery energy density.
Prior to co-founding Enovix, Harrold was vice president of operations at FormFactor, a leader in the design and production of patented 3D MEMS contact technology for semiconductor wafer testing. During his 5-year tenure, he led operations from research and development through pilot production to high-volume manufacturing. This helped set the stage for a successful IPO in 2003 and contributed to an 370% increase in annual revenue, from $79M in 2002 to $369M in 2006.
Before FormFactor, Harrold spent 17 years in operations management at the IBM thin-film disk-drive head operations in San Jose, CA. He led an organization of 250 engineering and manufacturing personnel that continually met production goals while reducing cost-per-wafer by 50%. He also assumed financial plan responsibility for IBM’s global disk-drive head operations in Asia, Central America, and Europe. Harrold earned a B.S. in mechanical engineering from U.C. Davis and an M.S. in mechanical engineering from Stanford University.
JERRY HALLMARK, FORMER DIRECTOR OF ENERGY TECHNOLOGIES, MOTOROLA MOBILITY
Jerry Hallmark is an energy technologies expert who has discovered and commercialized numerous battery technologies. At Motorola, he sourced, tested, qualified and launched over 25 different custom lithium-ion cells mobile devices, including the RAZR, Moto X, several Droids and Moto Z. He also led the Motorola power management team. Jerry earned an M.S. in electrical engineering (solid state devices) from Arizona State University and a B.S. in electrical engineering from the University of Florida. He holds 31 patents, has given numerous presentations at industry conferences, and served as president of the U.S. Fuel Cell Council.
As Enovix extends beyond wearables into larger mobile markets—smartphones, tablets, and notebook computers—production volume will increase, and unit cost will decline. The combination of higher energy density, improved safety, and lower cost will eventually make Enovix an attractive choice for electric vehicles.
Key specifications for the Enovix 3D Silicon Lithium-ion Rechargeable Battery, which is presently in the pilot-production (pre-commercialization) phase.

Julia,
I contacted the PI (Ira Bloom) and here is his update on this project:
Greg: It took a while to get the CRADA paperwork in place. The CRADA was fully executed on 4/18/2017. We received the initial samples for characterization from NEAH Power. The samples were shipped to us on 5/26/2017 and were received in June. The baseline material was characterized in terms of microstructure; these results were shared with NEAH by e-mail and discussed with them on a phone call on 7/10/2017. We continue to characterize their materials and should have more results to share with them by the end of the week. --Ira
So, it looks like things are now on track and the project is underway.

NPWS is a collaborator with the 3 major labs doing DOE and battery research.
Not only could they apply for the SBV program. They were awarded a grant...
Then they were absorbed in to the VTO project....be a grantee and a collaborator not in conflict....
NPWS is a collaborator with the 3 major labs doing DOE and battery research.
After filling out the paperwork required, it would seem they would take the first $300,000.00 where ever the grant program allow first. It would seem the SBV program would be first....the other money would come next year IMO

Julia,
I contacted the PI (Ira Bloom) and here is his update on this project:
Greg: It took a while to get the CRADA paperwork in place. The CRADA was fully executed on 4/18/2017. We received the initial samples for characterization from NEAH Power. The samples were shipped to us on 5/26/2017 and were received in June. The baseline material was characterized in terms of microstructure; these results were shared with NEAH by e-mail and discussed with them on a phone call on 7/10/2017. We continue to characterize their materials and should have more results to share with them by the end of the week. --Ira
So, it looks like things are now on track and the project is underway.

New battery Gigafactory? Neah Power Terawatt ? battery giga needs in news
Just a few weeks after unveiling its own new battery Gigafactory for electric vehicles in Germany, Daimler is now announcing a new $740 million battery factory project in China.
The new factory will support the production of batteries for electric vehicles under the Mercedes-Benz brand.
It’s the first major project as part of Daimler’s new investments in electric vehicles through its joint-venture with BAIC in China.
Markus Schäfer, Member of the Divisional Board of Mercedes-Benz Cars, Production and Supply Chain, commented on the announcement:
“Building another premium eBattery factory is the next step in the implementation of our electric strategy. Thus, we have the first foreign location in our global battery production network. The local production of batteries is crucial in order to meet the demand for electric vehicles flexibly and efficiently,”
https://www.thenational.ae/business/khaldoon-al-mubarak-interview-mubadala-investment-already-active-on-the-deal-path-1.662604
Mr Al Mubarak provides more colour on Mubadala Investment’s journey so far, highlighting its investment in chip developer AMD which Mubadala Development made in 2007 with an initial investment of $622m. The shares subsequently went on a roller coaster ride, but Mubadala held on throughout, even increasing its stake. It eventually pivoted the holding into a broader manufacturing-related deal to benefit its GlobalFoundries chipmaking asset before divesting a chunk of its AMD shares in two transactions this year – in March and August – for a reported $1.1bn.
“It was extremely challenging at times [as] the stock took some difficult cycles over the years. We were patient, we continued to be a supportive shareholder, we were the largest shareholder in AMD for many years…now AMD it is doing extremely well, has a fantastic management team, the stock price has rebounded very nicely over the last eighteen months and we took the opportunity this year to monetise 85 million shares of AMD, realising a healthy profit for Mubadala while maintaining a 12.9 per cent shareholding,” he says.
i'm saying there some gaming of the the numbers going on...

Is it possible that ANL has incurred cost that they just haven’t invoiced yet? We haven’t received any invoices at all, and the beginning date for the PO was 10/27/2016.

The missing link could be Polaris Battery Labs, Morris' new Beaverton-based manufacturing and testing lab that might even the playing field for U.S. battery companies.
The battery industry is "completely dominated by Asian companies, yet all of the inventions come out of the U.S.," said Morris, 57, who has acted as a consultant for battery startups since 2003.
Morris previously spent 21 years with Motorola. He recently served as vice president of operations at battery company Enevate.
Morris said his for-hire lab is rare in the U.S., and demand is strong. Nearly 40 potential customers, mostly American, have expressed interest in working with Polaris once its lab opens in July, Morris said.
An anonymous investor based in Asia, who Morris said "owns the No. 5 battery-tech company in the world," paid $850,000 of Polaris' startup costs. Polaris also won a $50,000 grant from electric-vehicle industry group Drive Oregon, and the Oregon Nanoscience and Microtechnologies Institute awarded $50,000 to Polaris, Portland State University and Oregon Institute of Technology.
Morris expects Polaris to break even in early 2014 and earn more than $5 million in sales in its first five years.
A carbon and graphite mixture dries on a thin sheet of foil before it is tested for uniformity at Polaris Battery Labs in Beaverton. Multiple sheets of the coated foil are used in smartphone batteries that the newly opened lab plans to manufacture and test for other companies.
Faith Cathcart/The Oregonian
Pradip Banerjee, principal with NovusFolium Venture Partners, said Angstron Materials, an Ohio-based company he works with, is considering hiring Polaris.
"We are looking to outsource the engineering activities, particularly building some high-performance batteries," Banerjee said. "We feel confident and comfortable with Polaris."
Most battery manufacturing takes place in Asia, Banerjee said, and it is "very helpful" to find a U.S.-based facility.
Tony Hancock, executive director of the Kentucky-Argonne Battery Manufacturing Research & Development Center, said Polaris is the only other laboratory besides his that offers manufacturing to startups. Since launching eight months ago, Hancock's center has received many more applications from startups than it can accept, he said.
Battery companies like A123 Systems in Massachusetts struggled because they invested in construction and equipment before building a market for their products, Hancock said. Laboratories like his and Morris' can help startup companies avoid similar problems, he said.
Polaris could be "sort of a West Coast version of us," said Hancock, adding that he has tried to lure Morris to Kentucky. "Other than us, I think the only people that have this sort of capability are in China."
said Ira Bloom, he is familiar with it now and is a a collaborator over a year ago....new is due to come out maybe with the company year end in Sept...

Grant to give boost to battery developed by Neah Power
By Jim Davis
Friday, August 26, 2016 8:59am
There’s long been a search to build a better battery that can store and produce more energy and “live forever and cost nothing,” said Ira Bloom, senior chemist and group leader at Argonne National Laboratory.
He pointed to the carbon zinc batteries at hardware stores, noting how they come in many shapes and sizes. He said changing the battery’s chemistery also changes everything.
“It’s a scientific discipline, but how you make it can be an art form,” Bloom said. “Once you figure out how to produce it, it’s very re-produceable.”
He said he’s unfamiliar with Neah’s PowerChip, but looks forward to working on it.
“It presents an interesting challenge, no question about it,” Bloom said. “I hope everybody learns from this project.”
The PowerChip Battery is already generating interest.
There was this email... DOE is not updating project as it has the other projects... Ira Bloom uses powerpoint for reports so that they can not be searched.... Something not quite right. Where is the update...

There is a whole lot of correct and incorrect on this board and I have been on one side or another at different times.
This company is a classic "Penny Stock Model" right along with the pumpers who never have a doubt about the future of the company no matter how many setbacks and failures.
I was hinging all of my being right on the S4W partnership and then nothing happened there, oh they are still listed as a partner but S4W and Voxx have not produced any bodycams, as far as we know NEAH has not produced any batteries.
They touted the DOE grant all last year till they were awarded the grant and then they went silent till they went dark.
They were looking bad to worse.
Then a few weeks ago, one holder posted an e-mail trail of an inquiry, I thought this could be true or made up, however all the right terminology was there. The timelines were recent on any progress.
SBV showed no draws on funding granted up to july, there are always delays on POs and such.
Explanation that the CRADA ( Cooperative Research and Development Aggreement ) not completed till April 18 2017.
Samples shipped on 5/26/17 (soon after going dark)
Samples recived in June ( most likely the beginning of June from ship date)
Samples were tested according to the Bloom update reported.
At this point we could say, this is made up or believe it was true.
Then very recently a link is posted showing NEAH to be a collaborator on a Vehicle Technologies merit review. Not on the SBV Advanced Manufacturing office project as they started out.
So the Post-Test-Facility did receive samples.
Ira Bloom has seen and his group has analyzed battery samples from NEAH.
Instead of continuing on the $300,000.00 SBV project they are now on a Vehicle Technologies Office project with 3 supporting Labs, 1 to create batteries , 1 to stress the batteries and 1 to characterize the effects on the batteries.
So the questions arise:
If NEAH is a scam, why did the Post Test Facility request NEAH to collaborate on a study of Batteries for Vehicle technologies with Argonne National labs, Sandia Labs and Oak Ridge National Labs ?
This is way beyond the scope of what was in the SBV.
What did the Post test Facility see in their initial characterization that led them to include NEAH in a longer, better funded, 3 - national lab supported study ?
This is not a small business advancement project. This is a project that was created and is evaluated to advance the DOE's mission and goals.
Neah went from " Yeah we'll look at your battery and tell you where you went wrong within $300,000.00 worth of lab time; To "Hey do you want to work with us on a multi-year bigger budget project where we try to figure out how to build better vehicle batteries ?"
Argonne was not looking at NEAH's desperate dilutive financing schemes,past PRs, failed agreements or the like, all they were looking at was a Battery sample.
