JRS: There are all kinds of gadgets and products and M-Phase is moving into different markets. Check out the articles below:
GRAPHENE USED IN INK
LITTLE FALLS, NJ – August 7, 2012 (Investorideas.com Newswire) – mPhase Technologies, Inc. (OTC.BB: XDSL.OB) said today that it is exploring complementing its Smart NanoBattery with new printing technologies utilizing Graphene and other advanced new materials.
FIND THIS INTERESTING
On July 17, 2012, mPhase announced an official agreement to jointly pursue business opportunities with government projects involving the research of Graphene based methods for the ink jet printing of batteries and electronic circuits with a leading technology University.
Successfully implementing mPhase’s Smart NanoBattery Technology with new material and printing technologies could lead to better energy densities, more flexible structures, lower prototyping costs and lower production costs.
Graphene has been described as the “miracle material” of the 21st Century and is believed to be stronger than steel and more conductive than copper while being flexible, making it plausible as a vast improvement over silicon possibly leading to thinner, faster, cheaper, more flexible devices including power sources. Since Graphene comes from the carbon atom it is abundant and cheap.
ANOTHER PLAYER IN THIS MARKET IS VORBECH MATERIALS
Here is Graphene-based conductive inks to appear in products this year
US Company Vorbeck say that products using their patented graphene based electronic ink will appear in major retail stores sometime this year.
Vorbeck will use $2.785 million of recently secured funding to expand sales of its Vor-ink conductive ink for printed electronics applications. This is the world's first commercial product using graphene, which offers the printed electronics industry a highly conductive and flexible conductive ink at a cost well below competing silver-based inks.
With completion of this financing, rapid customer adoption of their products, and approval by the EPA for the commercial sale of the graphene-based conductive inks, Vorbeck expect strong growth during 2011.
DON'T EXPECT TO INVEST IN VORBECK MATERIALS BECAUSE IT IS PRIVATELY HELD.
M-PHASE IS DOING CONJUNCTIVE RESEARCH WITH STEPHENS INSTITUTE TO MARRY ITS BATTERY TECHNOLOGY WITH GRAPHENE BASED CONDUCTIVE INKJETS
Looks like M-Phase has entered into a research agreement with Stephens Institute with the intent marry its battery technology with the graphene-based conductive inkjets. See article below:
LITTLE FALLS, NJ - July 17, 2012 (Investorideas.com Newswire) - mPhase Technologies, Inc. (OTC.BB: XDSL.OB) and Stevens Institute of Technology have announced an official agreement to jointly pursue business opportunities with government and industry as well as research and development (R&D) projects.
Specifically, Stevens and mPhase will collaborate on the design and fabrication of an advanced battery technology utilizing intellectual property and know-how from both parties with the possibility of integrating and advancing mPhase's Smart NanoBattery Technology with Stevens' graphene-based inkjet printing method for printing electrodes and electronic circuits.
The parties also wish to explore the possibility of funding Stevens' research activities relative to graphene-based research projects to advance the inkjet printing of electronics utilizing advanced materials
"mPhase is excited to explore the possibilities of integrating Stevens' leading position in the inkjet printing of energy storage devices using graphene with mPhase's Smart NanoBattery Technology," said Ronald A. Durando, CEO of mPhase Technologies.
"Stevens looks forward to continuing its relationship with mPhase by pursuing this exciting opportunity," added Christos Christodoulatos, Associate Provost of Stevens, Office of Academic Entrepreneurship.
Seems like they also submitted a patented switch to discharge the battery on demand. That would be a good combination, battery, inkjet, graphene conductive based ink and switch. Charge the battery, release the ink upon discharge by means of a switch. They seem to have all the pieces. They just need to piece them together.
DON'T CLAIM TO BE AN EXPERT. JUST TRYING TO CONNECT THE DOTS.
