X-i2BPM™
X-wave Intelligent Inverter Battery Power Module: Next Generation of High Power Battery System
|
X-i2BPM™ is a next generation portable battery power module that integrates an advanced Battery Management and Control System (BMCS) with a modular/small/efficient/light-weight hybrid DC/AC and DC/DC converter. 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.

CaseHitter™ is a conclusive ballistic identification software package developed at XII for automated cartridge case identification. Unlike conventional cartridge case identification systems that provide a similarity score for a rank list only, CaseHitter™ provides a conclusive decision and error rates for a comparison between two cases. This revolutionary technology is based on the Congruent Matching Cells (CMC) method, which was invented by Mr. John (Jun-Feng) Song at the National Institutes of Standard and Technology (NIST) in 2011.
High Security protects data by giving users control: Forensic analysis is highly secure. CaseHitter™ lets multiple users create confidential profiles so employees can work safely. Simple Interface improves efficiency: CaseHitter™ has many capabilities that can now be accessed with a simple click. Reports can now be delivered more efficiently for actionable leads. |

High-Precision Random Profile Roughness Specimen
ISO 5436 and ASME B46 Standards
XII now offers high-precision, random roughness specimens with Ra at 0.01 µm, 0.05 µm, and 0.1 µm, specified in ISO 5436 and ASME B46 (Surface Quality), for calibration of precision surface measurement instruments. Two types of high-precision, random profile roughness specimens are available: Standard Reference Material (SRM) with NIST certification and check references for both stylus and optical instruments calibration. XII's high-precision random profile roughness specimens are fabricated to have the same specs as the master SRMs originally designed and fabricated by NIST.
|
Unlike typical PTB specimens that have a profile repetition of 4 mm and Ra values of 0.15 µm, 0.5 µm and 1.5 µm, XII's high-precision, random profile roughness specimens have the following features:
Roughness averages: With Ra ranges from 0.01 µm to 0.05 µm and 0.1 µm, these are an order less than the Ra range of PTB specimen. Profile repetition is 0.4 mm and 1.25mm. Smooth reference surfaces: Ra less than 0.003 µm are located on the mean lines of the random profiles, which can provide reference datums for roughness measurements and profile comparisons for smooth engineering surfaces. Micro hardness: HV≥800 is higher than the PTB specimen (HV≥700). This benefits the long term use of these specimen for high precision measurements. |
