RaySecur’s proprietary security scanning technology is used by leading Fortune 500 companies, including 4 of the 5 largest US corporations, and government agencies to detect security threats and keep their employees and operations safe across the globe. Our scanners display lifelike images and real-time video of contents inside envelopes, boxes, and other enclosures using a patented imaging approach based on T-rays or millimeter waves. Once the stuff of science fiction, we like to say that we’ve got T-ray Vision! Pairing 4D scans with live action video means threats can’t hide – the operator sees shifting powders, sloshing liquids, cyber threats, and all the other dangerous or malicious substances listed by the Department of Homeland Security that make their way into facilities undetected – until now. Security leaders of Fortune 500 companies, leaders of G8 nations, presidential candidates, executive protection and US government entities trust our scanners to safeguard their employees and operations from disruptions and damage that attacks can cause. We are entrepreneurs at heart, always challenging the status quo and always ready to tackle the next challenge. We think strategically but are not afraid to roll-up our sleeves and get the job done no matter how big or small. We are dedicated and focused, but also make time to play and celebrate our successes. • Authentic – we are a diverse team with a wide range of backgrounds and skills that genuinely like each other and the work that we do • Dedicated – we are supportive of each other and our customers with the goal of changing the face of security imaging • Industrious – we’re continually working to improve the customer experience and bring out the best in each other • Aware – we know what’s at stake and how our customers are counting on us to help keep them safe each and every day RaySecur has transformed how leading security teams keep their people and business safe from all types of mail attacks.

Meet the Al platform to Revolutionize Engineering. We started this company because manufacturing and engineering are overdue for a digital revolution. These fields are complex, and while agile, lean, and just-in-time methods have driven progress, AI now offers a transformative opportunity to reshape how work gets done. Foundation’s EGI platform is built to accelerate every stage of the product development cycle—from research and design to manufacturing and documentation—empowering engineers to build better products, faster and more efficiently.

Emcode Photonics was founded by Shrenik Deliwala in November 2020 with the vision of revolutionizing spectral sensors by providing a photon-efficient, low-power, scalable platform rapidly adaptable to diverse market needs. This innovative concept integrates insights from physics, photonics, analog electronics, and signal processing. We have successfully demonstrated our calibration-free spectral-sensing technology with ultra-high SNR at competitive price points. Our device has been successfully used by strategic customers. We are excited that Analog Devices founder Ray Stata, has recently invested in our vision. http://emcodephotonics.com

ExSorbtion’s mission is to become the highest-value supplier of lithium to enable electrification of everything. ExSorbtion has acquired and is commercializing a technology developed by SRI International. This technology portfolio includes patented sorbents that have demonstrated very high lithium selectivity, fast reaction time to adsorb lithium from the brine and to remove lithium from the sorbent. The patented regeneration process uses carbon dioxide gas instead of acid (which is used by all other DLE companies) to extract the adsorbed lithium from the sorbents. By using gas instead of acid, ExSorbtion’s sorbents last >10x longer than competing manganese- and titanium-based sorbents – which is important since cost of the sorbent is >30% of the overall cost of goods sold for the DLE process, enabling potentially the lowest operating cost compared to other DLE process. Additionally, since the process uses carbon dioxide gas for regeneration, the process basically acts as a carbon sink making it the greenest DLE process, while consuming significantly lower amount water for each ton of lithium carbonate produced which is >60% lower than competing DLE processes.
