During CES 2021, Hydraloop Systems launched two new products designed to “use water twice:” Hydraloop H600 and the Hydraloop Cascade. These products build upon the company’s award-winning Hydraloop H300 – which won four CES 2020 awards including Engadget’s “Best of the Best” – and allow businesses, such as hotels and restaurants, to take advantage of this sustainability technology.
Hydraloop collects the water from showers, baths and washing machines, and in a cascade set-up also the water from hand basins and air conditioning units. After treatment, the cleaned and disinfected water can be reused for toilet flushing, washing machine, garden, swimming pool and cleaning.
With its 260 gallons treatment capacity per day, the Hydraloop H600 is created for larger families and small businesses. The Hydraloop Cascade is modular and provides scalable solutions for larger operations like commercial real estate, hotels, sports clubs and more.
PyzoFlex is an affordable, printable (by e.g. screen printing) sensor technology that can be implemented on an industrial scale. It allows the large-scale and accurate measurement of temperature and pressure changes as well as vibration monitoring in objects and their environment. In addition, there is know-how for the data processing and communication of the sensor signals (sensor-specific electronics) as well as customer or application-specific interpretation of the sensor signals (software or intelligence), thus resulting in devices for different applications Wherever pressure / temperature changes, vibrations or shock waves occur, piezoelectric and pyroelectric generators can be used to convert mechanical deformation (changes in thickness) and temperature differences into electrical energy. Ferroelectric polymers belonging to the PVDF-Class (polyvinylidene fluoride) are used as a basic material due to the fact that they exhibit strong piezoelectric and pyroelectric activity after a poling procedure. These materials are also extremely stable, UV and weather resistant, flame-retardant and have a high chemical durability. Any mechanical deformation caused by contact, pressure or movement can also be used to generate electrical energy (piezoelectric energy harvesting). These sensors can easily be implemented or laminated in/onto different surfaces giving them an added value. The unique properties and robustness of this technology open up a host of entirely new possibilities and make it suitable for many different fields of application – as there are: IoT, smart living and smart city, automotive & smart mobility, smart wearables, cyber physical systems, strain gauges, and many more.

MicroEJ (http://www.microej.com) has experienced exponential growth over the past few years both in the number of Powered by MicroEJ devices running its revolutionary virtualization container, and in the number of leading industry partners and customers in the smart devices industry: NXP, Sony, Murata, Silicon Labs, or Zebra Technologies just to name a few. Full public customer list can be found at www.microej.com/customer/
Since 2016, MicroEJ recorded a +100% year-over-year growth in the number of Powered by MicroEJ devices and 2019 is no exception, with tens of Million Powered by MicroEJ smart devices already in the market today, including healthcare products, telecommunications, wearables, industrial devices, and, more generally speaking, all kinds of embedded systems.
The company expects the extraordinary growth to continue well beyond 2020 fueling its global expansion. With roots in both the US and in Europe, MicroEJ has also seen over a 30% increase year-over-year in the number of new global customers that have licensed MicroEJ technology to build their smart or IoT devices.
MicroEJ is the only on-device-platform available on the market today to build highly secure, connected and cost-effective smart and IoT devices
“What MicroEJ did is nothing less than extraordinary,” said Jeb Su, Principal Analyst at Atherton Research. “They’ve totally re-engineered the standard virtualization technology used by Android, and scaled it down by several order of magnitude to work on small IoT devices, thus opening this everyday device world to the tens of millions of developers that are currently developing apps for Android devices like smartphones, TVs, or smart speakers which explains its runaway success in the marketplace today.”
Fast Facts:
● 6 offices worldwide: US, France, Japan, South Korea, China, Romania
● Over $30 million invested in Research and Development, mostly self-funded
● MicroEJ VEE is the only secure on-device platform in the market today optimized to run on low- cost, low-powered smart and IoT devices, allowing millions of engineers to apply and re-use their smartphone knowledge to develop smart applications for any devices
“Both Android and MicroEJ architectures share the same virtualization core technology making it possible for device manufacturers to benefit from what created the success of the smartphone industry: software assets capitalization (write once, reuse on every device), and secure execution under control of a virtual container,” said Dr. Fred Rivard, CEO of MicroEJ. “It allows device manufacturers to experiment with incremental innovation to follow market changes, to improve security, while at the same time reducing complexity synonym of costs reduction.”
