MPhase Technologies Inc. Successfully Activates First Functional Multi-Cell Smart Nano Battery

Marketwire
 

mPhase Technologies, Inc. (OTCBB: XDSL) reports that it has successfully triggered and activated its first functional multi-cell Smart Nano Battery.


Triggering and activation of the cells of the battery were achieved by using a technique called electrowetting, which gives the mPhase reserve battery one of its key attributes -- programmable triggering.

Triggering using this approach was accomplished by applying a brief pulse of electrical energy to a porous, smart surface membrane, located inside each cell in the battery, which caused the electrolyte to come in contact with the cell's electrodes, creating the chemical reaction to produce voltage inside the cell of the multi-cell battery.

The mPhase multi-cell battery consists of a matrix of 12 individual cells populated with an electrode stack consisting of lithium and carbon monofluoride materials (Li/CFx), with each cells rated at 3.0 volts. Using a specially designed circuit board for testing and characterization studies, each of the cells in the battery were independently triggered and activated without affecting any of the non-activated cells in the multi-cell configuration. Because of the unique design of the multi-cell battery, each cell in the battery has very long shelf until it is triggered. 

The development of the Smart NanoBattery has been undertaken with funding support from a Phase II STTR Army award.

About mPhase Technologies, Inc. mPhase Technologies is introducing a revolutionary Smart Surface technology enabled by breakthroughs in nanotechnology, MEMS processing and microfluidics. Our Smart Surface technology has potential applications within drug delivery systems, lab-on-a-chip analytic systems, self-cleaning systems, liquid and chemical sensor systems, and filtration systems. mPhase has pioneered its first Smart Surface enabled product, the mPhase Smart NanoBattery.

In addition to the Smart Surface technology, mPhase recently introduced its first product, the mPower Emergency Illuminator, an award-winning product designed by Porsche Design Studio and sold via the mPower website: http://www.mpowertech.com.

November  2010

• ARTESIAN BRINE INTERSECTED IN LAST THREE DRILL HOLES WITH VALUES UP TO 540 MG/L LITHIUM, 5500 MG/L POTASSIUM, 660 MG/L BORON AND A MG:LI RATIO OF 3.33

• EXPLORATION PROGRAM CONTINUES TO DELIVER POSITIVE DRILL RESULTS, EXPANDING ZONE APPROXIMATELY 4 KM EAST AND 4.5 KM SOUTH OF D-RC-01

• SIGNIFICANT INTERCEPTS INCLUDE 510 MG/L LITHIUM OVER 90 METRES AND 530 MG/L LITHIUM OVER 72 METRES IN D-RC-03 AND D-RC-04 RESPECTIVELY

• ARTESIAN LITHIUM BRINE REMAINED UNABATED AND DENSITY INCREASED OVER A 3 DAY SPAN WITH A PRESSURE AND VELOCITY THAT PUSHED THE ARTESIAN COLUMN APPROXIMATELY 13 METRES ABOVE THE SALAR SURFACE (please see figure 1)

Toronto, Ontario: Rodinia Lithium Inc. (“Rodinia” or the “Company”) (TSX-V: RM; OTCQX: RDNAF), is pleased to report that it continues to intersect high-grade lithium and potash in its reverse circulation drilling exploration program on its Salar de Diablillos lithium-brine project in Salta, Argentina (“Diablillos” or the “Salar”).  The Company remains encouraged by the results of the exploration program and reinforces its belief that the project has the potential to become a lithium, potash and boric acid producer in the near future.

William Randall, President and CEO of Rodinia, commented “the fact that we are routinely intersecting artesian conditions containing high grade lithium values is, in our opinion, extremely positive.  We believe that these results indicate that the subsurface brines are spouting to surface and increasing in salinity and density as they continue to flow. This is a rare phenomenon which may add significant value to the project.  Equally exciting is the fact that we intersected these brines in the southern portion of the basin where, based on our auger drilling, we expected lower grade brines due to the proximity of the river. In our opinion these results indicate the potential for the majority of the basin to contain lithium rich brines.”

Results from the most recent five drill holes are summarized in Table 1.  All the holes reported in this press release are open at depth and in all directions, bound only by the basin limits.  The reverse circulation drill holes were drilled vertically to ensure proper representation of the stratigraphic column.  As in the previous drill holes the distribution of lithium concentrations over the hole are remarkably even, suggesting that our entire stratigraphic column below the near surface clays represents a single aquifer, composed primarily of sands and gravels.  The clay content in all holes drilled to date has been low to negligible.

A sampling procedure was enforced by management to ensure sample integrity during the drill program.  Where possible, brine and sediments samples were air lifted, and water restricted to the upper part of the hole before the water table was intercepted.  Once brine bearing horizons were intercepted, drilling was halted and the drilling pipe lifted 2 feet or more to allow the total flushing of the internal pipe by means of air pressure for approximately ten minutes or until the brine appeared reasonably clean of sediment.  After sufficient air lifting of the brine, a sample was collected in 500 ml sample bottles that had been washed three times with the brine.  Liquid was also collected in five gallon buckets and the time of filling of the bucket recorded, in order to aid in quantifying the formational flow.

The project is supervised by Ray Spanjers, Rodinia’s Manager of Exploration.  Mr Spanjers is considered a qualified person, as defined by National Instrument 43-101, and has reviewed and approved the scientific and technical information in this release.  According to the Company’s sampling protocol, sample size is to exceed 500 millilitres and be stored in clean, secure containers for transportation.  The prepared samples are then forwarded to the ALS Laboratory Group, Environmental Division, in Fort Collins, Co (USA) for analysis.  A rigorous QA/QC program is implemented consisting of regular insertion of standards and blanks to ensure laboratory integrity.

TALISON LITHIUM REPORTS RECORD FIRST QUARTER PRODUCTION RESULTS

NEWS RELEASE

Perth, Western Australia, October 18, 2010  Talison Lithium Limited (“Talison”) (“TSX:TLH”) is pleased to provide the following first quarter production results for its Greenbushes lithium mine (the “Greenbushes Lithium Operations”) in Western Australia.

Greenbushes Lithium Operations – First Quarter 2011 Financial Year Production Results
The following highlights are for the Greenbushes Lithium Operations for the first financial quarter ended September 30, 2010:

Lithium concentrate production of 80,729 tonnes (~12,000 tonnes lithium carbonate equivalent (“LCE”)), representing a 24% increase over the first quarter of 2010; and  Lithium concentrate sales of 52,524 tonnes (7,800 tonnes LCE), representing a 6% increase over the first quarter of 2010.
The lithium concentrate production for the first quarter of 80,729 tonnes exceeded sales of 52,524 tonnes as a result of timing differences between product shipment schedules and production schedules. Talison continues to produce at capacity and sell 100% of its production.

In addition to record first quarter production, the Greenbushes Lithium Operations also produced and sold a special parcel of 17,333 tonnes of crushed ore into the Chinese market. Due to the high grade of Talison’s ore, it can be converted directly into lithium carbonate by its Chinese customers without intermediate processing. Sales of crushed ore are a short term measure to meet market demand until Talison completes the Stage 1 expansion of lithium concentrate production capacity. The Stage 1 expansion remains on schedule for completion in early calendar 2011.

The strong production results are attributable to a successful process improvement program that continually targets de-bottlenecking both the technical and chemical grade plants. In addition, high quality ore delivered to both plants positively impacted on processing efficiency during the first quarter.
Talison expects annual production for the 2011 financial year will exceed the annual budget of 43,000 tonnes LCE.

Demand for both Talison’s technical and chemical grade lithium concentrate continued to increase during the first quarter as markets continued to demonstrate significant signs of recovery.

First Quarter Financial Results Release Date and Conference Call
Talison will release its 2011 First Quarter Financial Results after the close of the market on Friday, November 12, 2010.

Panasonic ElectricWorks and Sanyo Electric co announce new Lithium-ion Solar Street Lights.

 Osaka, Japan, October 14, 2010 - Panasonic Electric Works Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as Panasonic Electric Works) and SANYO Electric Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as SANYO) today announced the launch of the “EVERLEDS Lithium-ion Solar Street Light,” a solar street light with a refined design combining ‘solar cells’ and ‘lithium-ion batteries’. Two versions of the street light will be released by Panasonic Electric Works in January 2011 in Japan (planned).
  The product is equipped with SANYO’s HIT^® solar cells, single crystal hybrid type solar cells with the highest-class conversion efficiency in the world^*2, and a thin ‘integrated solar cells and storage unit’ using SANYO’s lithium-ion batteries. In the product, electricity is generated from solar energy by the high efficiency solar cells and stored in the lithium-ion batteries attached to the back of the panel. This can then be used to power the high efficiency LED lights for approximately 15 hours^*3 during the night.
  Unlike previous models which required separately installed large lead batteries, the Lithium-ion Solar Street Light is small and refined, and the lead-free design reduces its impact on the environment. The Lithium-ion Solar Street Light is suitable for use in schools, parks, streets, around housing complex and public outdoor facilities, and in times of disaster will watch over the neighborhood.
  Until now, both companies had been working separately in the field of solar street lighting. However, through combining SANYO’s devices, such as ‘solar cells’ and ‘lithium-ion batteries’, with Panasonic Electric Works’ LED lighting fixtures and power source units, they are looking to further develop the industry’s leading solar street lights and to expand its range of products.
  Moreover, regarding sales, Panasonic Electric Works plans to strengthen its ability to offer solutions that meet the needs of the market by providing not only the solar street lights but also other energy-efficient products through its Electrical Construction Materials Marketing Business Unit. Panasonic Electric Works is also considering plans to develop the business for this product and other related devices overseas.
