This year's CES Innovation Awards program received a record high number of over 1800 submissions. The CES Innovation Awards is one of the most respected awards for frontier electronic devices.

Kura Gallium significantly outperforms all other augmented reality headsets by every measurable metric including: field of view, transparency, form factor, resolution, brightness and depth of field. Kura Gallium are the first AR glasses in the world to achieve a full frame field of view of 150° compared to 52° by their nearest competitor. Its display is 95% transparent, allowing the displayed image to blend more seamlessly into one's immediate surroundings, representing a vital breakthrough for the telepresence, training, and medical markets. The best current alternative offers only 25% transparency, making all other AR headsets a compromised solution for outdoor use.

The company's array of best-in-class solutions which are complemented by 8K resolution, in a compact form factor (80g), with unlimited depth of field, and unrivaled brightness (100x brighter) prompted Techradar to write in advance of CES, "Kura has been working on the Gallium for a number of years now, and it's shaping up to be one of the most impressive consumer AR devices we've seen yet … a positive showing at CES 2022 could make the Kura Gallium appear to be worth investing in when it launches."

Kura's revolutionary, not evolutionary architecture, has allowed it to leapfrog the competition. Its roadmap has been to develop novel proprietary approaches to the technology ex novo rather than relying on modifying existing components and systems.

The company's award winning first product, Kura Gallium, features several breakthrough technologies including a miniature customized full color MicroLED display based on customized full color silicon. This approach represents a quantum improvement over the deployment of single color, color combiners or color conversion phosphors. Two other key breakthroughs are customized MicroLED display-driver ASICs as well as a customized pinhole waveguide designed by proprietary optical optimization software developed by Kura.

Kura Gallium includes both hardware and software, with SDK and service upgrades for premium users. The product's ability to enable a 1:1 virtual to reality ratio allows for a truly immersive experience in a telepresence environment. This stands to lay the foundation for blending Metaverse content seamlessly into a users' immediate surroundings.

Kura Technologies was recently admitted to Silicon Catalyst, the world's only incubator for semiconductor startups. Industry authority Semiconductor Review named Silicon Catalyst a Top 10 in 2021 for semiconductor manufacturing solutions. CEO Pete Rodriguez commented, "we are extremely impressed with Kelly as a technologist and Kura as a technology breakthrough startup for augmented reality, a market we see with prospectively the largest growth potential on the semiconductor horizon. Their industry-first advances in performance directly address today's biggest challenges to AR's mass adoption."

Lelantos is revolutionizing the world of gas sensing by developing a new generation of IoT compatible gas sensors targeted to high value monitoring applications in threat detection, industrial safety, environmental and air quality monitoring as well as medical diagnostics. Current gas sensors are based on optical and resistive technologies and suffer from inherent weaknesses such bulky size, high power consumption and high cost. As such they prohibit the effective monitoring in IoT oriented use cases that require large scale, pervasive sensing to be provided by autonomous, portable, battery operated sensors with wireless connectivity. In contrast, Lelantos sensors based on CMOS integrated piezoelectric resonator arrays can achieve up to 1000 times more compact size, lower power consumption and lower cost than currently utilized systems. As a foundationally superior sensing technology, Lelantos is enabling the widespread adoption of gas sensing in IoT applications and the disruption of the market providing a true chemical sensor for the Internet of Things.

The next generation 5G network will form the backbone of the fourth industrial revolution. We believe that by 2030 the planet will be blanketed by E-band connectivity. Existing E-band front-ends are bulky (~size of shoe-box), expensive (~$11k) and power hungry – and are not suited for small cell and massive MIMO. Multifractal is addressing this problem by developing fully integrated E-band front-ends on a single chip, in silicon (CMOS / BiCMOS). Our front-end chips will make E-band front-ends so small (size of a match-box), and so cheap (~$20), that they will cover every lamp-post and every street corner!

Multifractal's enabling technology is the ability to create high-Q E-band filters (and diplexers) on-chip in silicon and integrate them directly (still on chip) with the LNA, PA, switches and mixers, all in cheap mass producible silicon. Our customers can then feed the output of our IC directly into the digital back-end, reducing their front-end design, size, cost and effort. They do not have to worry about the RF – we do all that for them! This will enable miniaturization of the entire E-band front-end, for the first time allowing small cell and massive MIMO.

Your processor needs a bodyguard.

Dover Microsystems’ CoreGuard® technology is the only solution for embedded systems that prevents the exploitation of software vulnerabilities and immunizes processors against entire classes of network-based attacks.

Forget Everything You Know About Cybersecurity

On average, all complex software contains up to 50 bugs per 1,000 lines of code. So, it’s no surprise that nearly every cyberattack relies on exploiting a software vulnerability. Today’s cybersecurity solutions focus on building defensive software around networks and applications to protect our embedded systems. Rather than securing the system, this approach actually increases a system’s vulnerability by adding yet another layer of inherently flawed software. As a result, companies and individuals are left even more exposed.

AEPONYX is a fabless micro optical switch semiconductor start-up designing and marketing chips for fiber optic access to the cloud.

With its patented and patent pending technologies, combining planar Micro-Electro-Mechanical-Systems (MEMS) and Silicon Photonics, AEPONYX is building the fastest, most affordable and smallest micro optical switches for use in disaggregated switching systems and enabling tunability in both transmission and reception in pluggable transceivers.

The ever-increasing demand for network connectivity, fueled by mobile devices, video content, cloud applications, Internet of things and social networks, is the source of ever increasing power consumption issues for telecom service providers and data center operators.

This creates opportunities for optical circuit switching and a new generation of tunable transceivers, increasing the capacity on both ends of the optical fiber while lowering power consumption.

By combining Silicon Photonics with MEMS, AEPONYX is creating a unique platform that can support the next generation of optical communications.

AEPONYX’s micro optical switches are 100x faster, 10x cheaper and 10x smaller than the 3D MEMS used in commercial products within data centers and by telecom service providers.

Their speed and cost point open the door to several new applications for equipment manufacturers within fiber optic access networks, mobile networks, data centers and high performance computing.

Moreover, since optical switching can significantly reduce both power consumption as well as latency, equipment manufacturers, telecom and data center network operators have the opportunity to use optical switching to not only reduce their environmental footprint, but also to improve their services differentiation.

AEPONYX will be the market leader in MEMS-based Silicon Photonics.
