NCISN system is new acoustic emission (AE) technology, which incorporates the non-contact electromagnetic acoustic transducer (EMAT), multi-channel data acquisition device (Xplore-R8), application software (XpertAE) with advanced signal processing algorithms, along with an artificial intelligence or machine learning (AI/ML) tool box developed by X-Wave for structural health monitoring (SHM) with improved accuracy in defect localization and classification. One particular application of NCISN is for continuously monitoring the stress corrosion cracking (SCC) in spent nuclear fuel dry-storage canisters in service.

REUT is a new broadband ultrasonic transducer (US patents 11,620,973 and 12,290,837) developed by X-Wave for extremely high temperatures and radiation environment applications. It utilizes metals, ceramics and high-temperature piezoelectric materials, offering high-temperature, radiation-resilience to nuclear applications. As a surface mounted, contact type transducer, REUT has a long-operation life, and is suitable for high-temperature (e.g., 800C), radiation, and corrosive environments.

Utilizing specially designed ultrasonic transducers (pending patent) to excite and detect acoustic waves to interrogate sample materials, along with advanced signal/image processing and data analysis algorithms (US Patent 12,146,953), X-QAM provides the first-its-kind NDE tool to image both the surface and internal microstructures and estimate the grain size and distribution of metallic components. One potential application of the X-QAM is for rapid qualification and certification of additive manufacturing parts due to its attributes such as cost effective and easy operation in a manufacturing environment.

The X-i2BPM is a truly universal battery power module that operates as a battery, as a DC power source or as an AC power source in a light and compact package. Customers can interconnect multiple X-i2BPMs to create larger battery-based power systems to provide higher capacity and/or higher power and voltage, whether it is DC or single-phase and/or three-phase AC systems. The modular and portable modules are ideal for powering loads in disaster-relief scenarios, military field operations, such as hybridization of fuel generators, or as standalone units; they are also ideal for renewable and electric propulsion applications, such as for electric vehicles, aerospace critical applications, and future hybrid and all-electric aircraft applications. The X-i2BPM represents the next level in reliability, fault-tolerance, efficiency, and portability for flexible and versatile power and energy storage solutions. The X-i2BPM design is based on a hardware and algorithmic distributed approach that reaches better space utilization and takes efficiency to higher levels of 98% and higher. The X-i2BPM approach minimizes thermal requirements and weight per power delivery capability, which makes it ideal for mobile and portable applications.
