Smart Nanobattery for US army : AlwaysReady, Inc., a new subsidiary of mPhase Technologies, Inc. said that it is making good progress in its research and development effort as part of the recently awarded grant from the US Army to develop a prototype of its Smart Nanobattery based on lithium chemistry that is compatible with silicon based processing steps. The new prototype, based on lithium and manganese dioxide chemistry would be able to retain all of the beneficial properties of the first generation of the Smart Nanobattery’s earlier design, which can remain dormant for long periods of time, providing for very long shelf life applications, and be activated on demand, providing for unique power management capabilities.

USB-IF battery charging capabilities : The USB Implementers Forum announced the availability of the Battery Charging Revision 1.0 specification. Consumers use USB to charge batteries on their peripheral devices. With the announcement of the new Battery Charging specification, the USB-IF Battery Charging Workgroup has defined a standard way for portable devices to draw current from wall chargers or PCs. In addition, the Battery Charging specification allows PCs and hubs to provide increased levels of current, in order to shorten the charging time of connected portable devices. “The USB-IF has responded to the growing trend among mobile devices to utilize USB for charging capabilities,” said Jeff Ravencraft, USB-IF president.
