As battery users’ expectations increase, there is a pressing need for real-time battery health data to ensure predictable performance and personal safety. INL’s rapid impedance measurement technology enables continuous monitoring of a battery’s health and remaining life throughout its life cycle. Dynexus plans to explore commercial applications across a broad range of markets including electric vehicles, utility energy storage, medical devices and military systems. MAMMOTH INL concluded four licensing agreements in 2017 for MAMMOTH, a general reactor physics software application that leverages existing applications to solve complex multiphysics problems. Based on the MOOSE framework, MAMMOTH links the applications for radiation transport (Rattlesnake), thermal fluids (RELAP-7) and fuel performance (BISON) into a single simulation framework. Licensing agreements were executed with the United Kingdom’s Defense Academy, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, University of Florida and OKLO, Inc. “It’s like having an onboard ‘smart meter’ for your electric vehicle battery, providing the owner and the dealership with immediate and easily accessible factual information about battery health throughout its useful life.” — David Lung, Dynexus Technology chief technology officer Novel Engineered Form Physisorption Material INL and Rocky Mountain Scientific Inc. (RMS), an Idaho Falls-based small business, executed an exclusive patent license for removing phosphates, arsenic, fluoride or selenium from water. Although phosphates are great for crops, excessive amounts can cause toxic algae blooms that are bad for water resources. INL’s technology, coupled with a compound developed by RMS, has the potential to remove excess phosphate nutrients from water and reduce such blooms. RMS’s product, the APR Phosphate Sponge, received the Federal Laboratory Consortium’s Far West “Outstanding Technology Development” award. New licensing activities during FY 2013-2017 Licenses executed in FY 2017
