SensorCAD

SDL recently became partners with Analytical Graphics, Inc. (AGI) to incorporate SDL's SensorCAD sensor modeling software tool for electro-optical sensors with AGI's Satellite Toolkit (STK) modeling platform. Combining SensorCAD with STK gives users access to sensor modeling capabilities in conjunction with superb orbit prediction, access and coverage analysis, scenario visualization, and the many other features of the Satellite Toolkit.

GeoMetWatch

USU and SDL have teamed with GeoMetWatch on a satellite venture to develop a remote sensing system designed to observe the Earth's environment and severe weather from space. Data flowing from these satellites and systems will be processed into previously unavailable forecasting information that will improve prediction of severe weather patterns. GeoMetWatch is the first company to receive a license from the U.S. Government to provide this type of data for government and commercial applications.

Thermal Management Technologies

SDL has a strategic partnership with Thermal Management Technologies (TMT), USURF's first spin-out company. TMT currently offers a wide variety of thermal management products. Some are designed to control the heat production and thermal path in a variety of electronic components, including modular satellite panels, radiators, infrared instruments, and computers. Other products include thermal management solutions related to challenges in the oil and gas fields.

Wireless Advanced Vehicle Electrification

WAVE is a developing company focused on demonstrating the technology and economic feasibility of wireless power transfer for a number of applications including mass transit, industrial systems, and light-duty vehicles. The primary obstacle to electric transportation has been the battery life, size, and weight. WAVE will work to solve this problem by using wireless power transfer, which works by transferring power from magnets embedded in the roadway into a receiver plate connected to a small battery pack on the underside of passing vehicles. This system allows the vehicle to receive continuous charge while driving. Commercial Enterprises is working to identify funding for the first full-scale wireless power transfer demonstration program in the state of Utah.
