About Advanced Cerametrics Inc. Energy from Motion (TM)

Advanced Cerametrics, Inc. (ACI) pioneered the technology to manufacture ceramic in a flexible fiber form. This technology inexpensively captures the positive properties of ceramics (electrical, thermal, chemical, mechanical) and eliminates the negatives of brittleness and weight.

ACI's ceramic fibers and their composite forms offer breakthrough solutions for harvesting useful power for micro-circuits, for active vibration control, and for creating new advanced fiber materials. ACI's standard energy harvesting solutions feature the Harvestor (TM) energy harvesting power module line of products that provide perpetual electric power harvested from ambient vibration and mechanical movement. Combining breakthrough levels of fast charging performance from its proprietary Piezo Fiber Composites (PFC), with best-in-class power management and delivery with its new EH-1000 power management circuit, the Harvestor power modules offer configurable features to meet demanding system design requirements. ACI has also pioneered Active Vibration Control (TM) solutions using PFCs with damping circuits to reduce structural vibration and improve product performance. ACI's proprietary manufacturing techniques enable special materials in fiber form with many unique properties that include light weight and flexibility. ACI works closely with global business and technology partners to optimize product and system solutions for military, medical, transportation, industrial and consumer product applications.

DecaWave is a pioneering fabless semiconductor company which has developed a complete, single chip CMOS ultra wideband IC based on the IEEE802.15.4a standard, and building a family of parts to work at rates 110kbps, 850kbps, 6.8Mbps and 27Mbps.

 

DecaWave has identified the rich potential of ultra wideband (UWB) technology, with particular focus on real time location systems (RTLS), and ultra-low power wireless transceivers, and has been instrumental in developing the alternate PHY IEEE802.15.4a standard, for which it holds key intellectual property and numerous essential and non-essential patents.

 

DecaWave is currently working with a number of partner firms to develop and bring to market suitable applications for the RTLS and ultra-low power wireless transceiver marketplaces using its UWB technology, principally in the areas of manufacturing, healthcare, lighting, security, transport, inventory & supply chain management. Because it believes the opportunities inherent in IEEE802.15.4a to be so numerous, DecaWave is willing to share - under contract - critical core intellectual property with prospective, suitably qualified and resourced partner firms wishing to develop further markets for this technology.

 

DecaWave was founded in 2004, and is headquartered in Dublin Ireland. DecaWave is privately funded.
