Margo presents ‘Gyro Speed’ to help with efficient pitching training at CES 2023!
Margot is a sports tech startup that recently introduced a product called ‘GyroSpeed’ to the market. It detects the start and end points of the user’s pitching motion through the gyro sensor and calculates the maximum acceleration and gyro sensor acceleration for each section. Based on this, the user’s pitching speed is predicted and displayed on the OLED screen installed in the product.
The goal is to assist pitching training based on these functions. You can intuitively check changes in velocity based on arm movement speed, and immediate feedback improves immersion in training and provides motivation. In addition, it automatically saves the number of exercises to check the amount of training or sets a separate goal, helping to carry out goal-centered and systematic training.
Kim Tae-hoon, CEO of Mago, said, “To improve pitching ability, we desperately need tools that can support consistent training while reducing the risk of injury. However, existing products in the related market have not improved their performance for a long time, so they are only relying on user patience,” he said. “Accordingly, we are expanding the market base and preventing new entrants from losing interest in baseball.” “I thought we needed a product that would help, so we designed and developed Gyro Speed,” he said, explaining the background of the product development.
He continued, “As it boasts the largest scale among various global exhibitions, we expect to be able to find a buyer who will be in charge of distributing Gyro Speed in the American sports online market through this CES.” He also added, “Also, through active product promotion, “It is also significant in increasing the synergy effect of crowdfunding underway in the United States,” he added.
Beomjun E&C Co., Ltd. announces new technology for utilizing waste sulfur at CES 2023!
Beomjun E&C is a company leading environmentally friendly green growth that has been approved by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport by developing a new technology to reform waste sulfur, an industrial by-product generated during the oil refining process, and use and process it as a concrete and asphalt additive.
The modified sulfur cement concrete additive (SU⁺ C100) introduced in this exhibition is a highly functional and eco-friendly cement concrete additive manufactured by using a modifier for sulfur generated as a by-product of crude oil and gas refining and DCPD discharged as a by-product from petrochemical plants. . It has been designated as a national new technology and received the King Sejong Award. In addition, the asphalt concrete modifier (SU⁺ A100) that will be introduced is an eco-friendly asphalt binder that improves ductility with a sulfur-modified asphalt binder using sulfur by-products.
In addition, Beomjun E&C adds a substance that absorbs and releases the temperature of the road surface according to the atmospheric environment of the Micro Sulfur Biome product, which increases strength during road pavement construction, and creates an eco-friendly (0% calcium chloride) and one-time use product called PBI (Protect Black Ice). We developed a construction method that can be used for a long time during construction. It is an eco-friendly method made by mixing porous materials and PCM (Phase change material) with CMA (Calcium, Magnesium, Acetate) instead of salt and calcium chloride, which are anti-icing agents. Since it does not freeze from -1 to -1 degrees, it can prevent damage such as traffic accidents caused by BLACK ICE.
An official from Beomjun E&C said, “At this CES, we would like to promote the importance of an environmentally friendly construction industry through the use of high-performance concrete and asphalt additives as well as the competitiveness of differentiated products,” and added, “We will continue research and development by expanding excellent human resources in the future.” It was said.
Libest will showcase flame-retardant and anti-freeze battery manufacturing technology at CES 2023!
Libest, a flexible secondary battery manufacturing startup, will showcase its flame-retardant and non-freezing battery manufacturing technology at CES 2.
It is widely known that battery performance deteriorates on cold days like these when the temperature drops below freezing. Temperature has a significant impact on the time spent using a smartphone as well as the driving range of an electric vehicle. A Libest official said, “If the temperature drops further, it may even experience inoperability. In this case, it may be considered a product failure, but in most cases, it is a battery problem. This is because when the temperature decreases, the electrolyte freezes, and the conductivity of lithium ions decreases accordingly. For this reason, lithium-ion batteries generally can only be used at about 40 to 70% of their original capacity at sub-zero temperatures.”
This flame-retardant/passive battery manufacturing technology presented by Libest is unique. The anode and cathode used NMC and graphite as is, and combined Rivest’s special electrolyte and separator. As a result, its strength is that it has flame retardancy and passivity characteristics while maintaining the battery’s voltage and high energy density.
When the electrolyte of a typical battery is directly exposed to a flame at about 1,300˚C, the electrolyte quickly catches fire and the flame continues until all of the electrolyte is burned. In the same situation, in the case of Rivest’s electrolyte, it takes a longer time to catch fire, like a flame retardant, and even if it catches fire, it goes out quickly, so direct ignition at the battery cell level can be suppressed, the official explains.
The battery currently being developed by Rivest operates even at -40˚C, which is impossible for batteries to operate with regular electrolytes, and is said to be capable of normal charging and discharging even at -20˚C and -10˚C. In addition, although it is a battery for battery electric vehicles (BEV) with high energy density, it shows a capacity remaining rate of more than 500% after 90 charging and discharging.
Nubi Lab presents a vision for the future of eating habits and healthcare at CES 2023!
Nubi Lab, which has participated in CES since 2020, will set up an exclusive booth for the first time this year and present core solutions under the themes of digital healthcare, food tech, and sustainability.
Nubi Lab sees this CES stage, which is expected to attract more than 158 visitors from 17 countries around the world, as an opportunity to accelerate its entry into the global market. At the booth, digital healthcare concepts such as △infant growth management solution △eating habits management solution for chronic disease patients △mobile food diary △food scan API will be displayed for the first time, focusing on Nubilab’s core solution, ‘AI Food Scanner’.
The Nubi Lab booth at this CES will also display the success story of the Zero Waste campaign conducted by SK Telecom and Nubi Lab to achieve Net Zero. In order to practice ESG in daily life, SKT introduced the Nubilab solution to the employee cafeteria and conducted a six-month campaign to reduce food waste, achieving a carbon reduction effect.
“We are confident that our food tech technology will lead innovation not only in the ESG industry but also in the healthcare industry,” said Kim Dae-hoon, CEO of Nubi Lab. “This CES 2023 is an opportunity to promote Nubi Lab’s technology more and collaborate with world-class companies.” “It will be,” he expressed his ambition.
Narma unveils an electric dual tiltrotor drone optimized for delivery at CES 2023!
Narma, the first research company of the Korea Aerospace Research Institute, developed the world’s first electric dual tiltrotor drone optimized for delivery. This tiltrotor is capable of vertical takeoff and landing as well as high-speed flight, and has the ability to load a 1kg payload and fly a distance of 5km in 40 minutes. Among domestic drone companies, Narma is the only company licensed by the government for two types of special flights (non-visual flight and night flight) at the same time. In a demonstration flight hosted by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport last year, it took off in front of the National Assembly Building and flew across a forest of Seoul buildings. Jir also conducted a non-visual flight.
Delivery drones are also being developed by global companies, but considering the weight of the drone, wind resistance, and delivery cost per cargo, Narma is proud of its tiltrotor drone as “by far the best in the world.” Unlike existing drones that are controlled by skilled pilots, Narma’s drone was cited as having the advantage of being able to fly automatically using a device that can be easily operated, such as a kiosk, without manual operation. To reduce manufacturing costs, Narma has introduced a new technology to create carbon plates without manual molding, and the new manufacturing method can dramatically reduce manufacturing time and cost, making it competitive with cars and motorcycles.
The maximum speed of ‘AF 100’, which is equipped with a vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) function, is 120 km/h, and features a wider operating area than a multicopter drone, enabling real-time control using cameras. In addition, drones located at the station are always capable of flight and their batteries are maintained at 70% charge.
In Korea, we plan to launch a full-scale drone delivery service in cooperation with convenience store chain CU. This year, Narma proposed Narma’s drone delivery solution to several overseas countries, including South Africa, Croatia, Ethiopia, and the Philippines, and achieved its first export performance by signing SKD contracts with partners in South Africa and Croatia. We aim to expand our business to North America next year.
