ivilion – Multifunctional structural cooling for EVs

ivilion – Multifunctional structural cooling for EVs

Electric vehicles (EVs) face several key challenges, particularly high costs, long charging times, and limited range. Fast charging is critical to accelerating EV adoption, but it typically generates significant heat, which is often managed only through complex and costly immersion cooling systems.

ivilion GmbH addresses this challenge with innovative battery cooling solutions and advanced battery pack designs for mobility applications. At the core of its technology is a multifunctional cooling structure that simultaneously acts as a cell holder, thermal management system, and structural element of the battery pack. These structures can be directly integrated into the battery, reducing the number of components and system complexity.

This multifunctionality enables cost savings of up to €7 per kWh and improves energy density at the pack level. Additionally, the significantly enlarged cooled surface area achieves cooling performance comparable to immersion systems, allowing for high C-rates during fast charging.

ivilion’s technology supports faster charging, longer driving ranges, and lower production costs—and is compatible with all cell formats and chemistries.

Benefits:

  • Cost and weight savings for battery packs through multifunctional cooling structures.
  • Ultra-fast charging: Maximised cooled cell surface area, enabling 10-minute charging (4C and above).
  • Improved range: ivilion maximises the available space for battery cells, resulting in more than 7% cells per volume.
  • Complete recyclability of the cells: Battery cells can be easily removed without complicated disassembly, enabling repairability and single-origin recycling concepts.

From Space to Street – Transferring SAR to transform automotive sensing with realistic radar simulation

From Space to Street – Transferring SAR to transform automotive sensing with realistic radar simulation

It has been used in space for decades – now it’s time for radar to come to the road. Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR), the technology behind some of the most precise earth observation satellites, is finally making its way into the automotive world as a key technology that makes autonomous vehicles safe and reliable.

Today’s radar sensors in the automotive world still struggle with resolution and performance in complex environments. fiveD is changing this by bringing the power of SAR from space to the road. Using a purpose-built simulation platform, fiveD can virtually test how SAR-based radar can dramatically improve perception in challenging driving scenarios – such as complex urban environments or fast-moving motorways. This enables faster and more cost-effective development of next-generation radar systems without relying on expensive physical prototypes. This solution lays the foundation for smarter, more powerful radar – helping to unlock the future of safe and fully autonomous mobility.

Benefits:

  • By enabling physically accurate simulation early in the design process, users can explore and validate concepts before building hardware – leading to faster iteration cycles and significant cost savings.
  • Engineers benefit from realistic modelling of wave-level radar effects, enabling them to develop better sensors, algorithms and perception systems.
  • Simulation enables scalable generation of different data sets for AI training and improves performance in edge cases without costly real-world data collection.

Wireless charging of rovers from landers in space

Wireless charging of rovers from landers in space

Harsh environmental conditions prevail on the surface of the moon, which are mainly due to the so-called regolith. Its insulating properties at the electrical interfaces of the rovers, such as the power connections, pose a significant risk for any mission. The wireless power supply can mitigate the problems of the electrical interfaces. However, current wireless charging systems are very sensitive to charging distance (less than 1 cm), have very low end-to-end efficiency, and rely on the use of robots to connect the rover to the charging station.

Yank Technologies solves these problems by using its Magnetic Resonant technology to deliver power over distances of up to half a metre, similar to WiFi but for power. This wireless charging system can operate efficiently in extreme misalignment and without robotic intervention, greatly improving operations on the lunar surface.

The technology can also be used in the automotive sector: Wireless power architectures can supply power to complete subsystems such as seats, doors, lighting and infotainment in vehicles, significantly reducing the wiring harness.

Benefits:

  • Wireless transmission technology using a patented Inductive Resonant technology capable of transmitting energy up to 0.50 metres through materials with high efficiency, without the limited distance, axial alignment, thermal rise and lack of efficiency inherent in conventional inductive solutions.
  • Efficient operation even with extreme misalignment and without the use of robots, significantly improving the operation of rovers on the lunar surface.
  • Direct power provision solutions for consumer electronics, industrial robots and automobiles.

Parabolic Dish Killer – Dual use all sky RF digital phased array

Parabolic Dish Killer – Dual use all sky RF digital phased array

Current satellite ground stations use mechanically gimbaled parabolic reflector antennas, also known as satellite dishes. These provide a single pencil beam, enabling communication with only one satellite at a time, and require electronic motors to steer the dish to face and track the target satellite in the sky.

Quasar’s ground station is the world’s first true digital multibeam phased array with unique all-sky capability. Its ground station supports dozens of beams simultaneously for both SATCOM and SDA missions from a single compact aperture. One array has the equivalent capacity of at least five separate 5 m parabolic dishes from a single sensor. This significantly reduces operating expenses and provides additional functionality to improve the performance of space-to-earth links.

Benefits:

  • Satcom bottlenecks are reduced, with no loss of passes when LEO satellites fly in swarms.
  • New Space Domain Awarenes insights, including the ability to detect, fingerprint and track unknown objects anywhere in the sky. Providing a comprehensive database of RF emissions at high granularity Pattern-of-Life processing provides actionable alerts for discovered anomalies.
  • Spectrum monitoring identifies jamming, illegal transmissions and grey zone activity.
