More than $40,000 in grants were distributed by Dash In to support the Clinton and Lanham, Maryland communities; Dash In also revealed an expanded community outreach program – Enhancing Outdoor Spaces – with a $30,000 grant to Prince George’s County Department of Parks and Recreation to help improve Tanglewood Park in Clinton
LA PLATA, Md.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Dash In, the growing chain of convenience stores throughout Maryland, Virginia, and Delaware, hosted grand openings at two all-new locations in Clinton and Lanham, MD. The grand opening events took place on Friday, September 10 and October 1, 2021, with each event followed by two successive weekends of special offers and opportunities to engage with each community.
The grand opening events also celebrated Dash In’s renewed commitment to community engagement with more than $40,000 in grants being distributed to the Capital Area Food Bank, Clinton and Lanham high schools, and to Prince George’s County Department of Parks and Recreation. This includes a $30,000 grant to help improve Tanglewood Park, which is a valuable outdoor space around the corner from the Clinton Dash In location.
While Dash In has a history of working to end childhood hunger, the Tanglewood Park grant is part of Dash In’s expanded focus on working with communities where Dash In stores are located to help support outdoor spaces that are valued by the community and could benefit from renewal.
“At Dash In, we have taken time this past year to work with our parent company, the Wills Group, to address near-term needs during the pandemic with a big part of our commitment being more than $1.6 million in grants distributed to local food banks during the past 18 months,” said Julian B. (Blackie) Wills, III President and Chief Operating Officer of the Wills Group. “We’re proud of that commitment and we’re ready to do more. Outdoor spaces have emerged as an important resource for communities during the pandemic and at Dash In we’re going to work with communities to celebrate and improve those spaces.”
The Lanham Dash In is located at 10000 Greenbelt Road in Lanham and the Clinton Dash In is located at 8228 Woodyard Road in Clinton. Both stores feature Dash In’s neighborhood design store concept with each store also featuring Dash In’s Craveable Menu made fresh every day.
“We were very intentional about each of these locations,” added Wills. “For example, for the Clinton location, Dash In worked with the community to improve the intersection – that was really important to the local officials, and we think demonstrates Dash In’s commitment to being a meaningful community partner. Enhancing Outdoors Spaces is an important extension of Dash In’s intentions of working closely with all stakeholders across the communities we serve.”
Both Dash In grand openings featured five days of events that took place in September and October. Each event featured a presentation of the Dash In grants to local food banks, schools and nearby fire departments, with the Clinton grand opening being the first instance where Dash In was able to work with a local department of parks and recreation to contribute to improving a nearby Tanglewood Park.

PHOENIX--(BUSINESS WIRE)--#decommissioning--More than 40 years of renewable energy investment in the U.S. has led to the current installment of 550,000 acres of solar capacity and 67,000 individual wind turbines. As these numbers continue to grow, powered by a widespread commitment to clean power generation, so does the need to manage the industrial materials used in that process throughout their full lifecycle. Toward that end, Lewis Roca announced today the formation of its Renewable Energy End-of-Life Planning Group.
The multidisciplinary team, co-led by Denver partner Tom Dougherty, associate Dietrich Hoefner and Phoenix of counsel James Voyles, will draw on Lewis Roca’s many years of experience in the energy and utilities sector. The team will assist clients with matters including:
“We know of no other law firm that is focusing on this important set of issues: what happens when renewable energy projects reach the end of their lifecycle and how businesses can creatively optimize the resources beyond their initial use,” Dougherty said. “We’re poised to help clients navigate the challenges and opportunities presented by those questions at all stages, whether it’s identifying potential partnerships and executing contracts on the front end or managing the end of an asset’s lifecycle as it nears.”
“Renewable power developers have moved beyond the point where they can passively plan the decommissioning and repowering of new and legacy assets,” added Voyles. “Proactively planning a renewable asset’s lifecycle will only become more important, and planning needs to happen sooner rather than later.”

DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The "Solid-State Li-ion Batteries with Inorganic Solid Electrolytes Patent Landscape 2021" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.
Japanese players have a good IP position in the solid-state Li-ion battery field
Solid-state batteries with inorganic solid electrolytes hold a key position in the booming developments to get safer Li-ion batteries for electrical vehicles (EV) with greater autonomy and maximum speed. Solid-state batteries can be classified into two categories: thin-film solid-state batteries and "bulk" solid-state batteries.
The thin-film technology approach proven for thin-film solid-state batteries is not directly applicable for bulk solid-state batteries. New processes and materials therefore have to be developed to get bulk solid-state batteries up to market requirements (performance, stability, cost).
There are currently three main axes for development to enhance bulk solid-state battery performance: improve solid electrolyte performances; improve the electrode/electrolyte interface; and develop material/cell assembly manufacturing processes compatible with industrial production.
Many companies have recently presented solid-state battery prototypes and announced their commercialization and integration in electric vehicles by 2025. However, many questions remain: which solid electrolyte has the most promising performance? What are the most recent technological developments? Who has the best position across the supply chain? In this context, the publisher is releasing a new patent landscape report covering the whole value chain of solid-state Li-ion batteries with inorganic solid electrolytes from electrolyte materials to electrodes and battery cells.
Patent landscape analysis is the perfect complement to market research, to fully comprehend the competitive landscape and technology roadmap, keep abreast of cutting-edge technology developments, anticipate future technology adoption, and understand the different competitors' strategies. This kind of patent landscape report reveals the companies, technical solutions and strategies not identified through standard market analysis.
The publisher's analysts have selected and analyzed more than 14,400 patent filings grouped into 7,300+ patent families (inventions) related to solid-state Li-ion batteries with inorganic solid electrolytes. In this report, the publisher reveals the main IP trends, key patented technologies, recent development trends, key IP players and newcomers, their strategies regarding inorganic solid electrolyte materials, and their IP strategies and strengths by supply chain segment and inorganic electrolyte material.

The publisher also provides insights into the key players' patented technologies, their IP strategy, and their ability to limit other firms' patenting activity and/or freedom-to-operate.
The benchmarking of patent assignees is evaluated by supply chain segment, on the basis of their IP portfolio size, prior-art contribution, geographical coverage of the IP portfolio, and enforceability of their patents. A special focus is placed on the main IP collaborations (co-filings, license agreements, transfer of IP rights) related to solid-state Li-ion batteries with inorganic solid electrolytes.
Identify the leading IP players and IP newcomers across the supply chain, by electrolyte material
All patents selected for this study have been categorized by supply chain segment (electrolyte material, electrode, battery cells), electrolyte type (inorganic/polymer, inorganic) and inorganic electrolyte material (argyrodite, Thio-LISICON, sulfide glass ceramic, oxide glass ceramic, perovskite, anti-perovskite, LISICON, garnet, NASICON, hydride).
For each supply chain segment, this report includes a time-evolution of patent applications, main and key patent assignees, newcomers, and a description of key and recently patented technologies. An understanding of the current technical challenges addressed in the patents is also presented.

Graduate students leverage advanced optical sensing technology to innovate grid solutions for the energy transition
ROCHESTER & CORNING, N.Y.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--#RIT--Micatu Incorporated, a leader in cutting-edge optical sensing technology, announced that the Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT) Kate Gleason College of Engineering has selected two students whose grid modernization research will be sponsored by the company. Dylan Kotmel will leverage real-time data collected from Micatu's Gridview optical sensors to detect and address anomalies on the grid to understand and predict future anomalies. Akash Kumar will use the safe and highly accurate measurements from Micatu's optical sensors to study the campus microgrid responses to renewable integration and will apply these findings to better support the energy transition on utility grids.
"Industry innovation is the only way we can effectively manage the energy transition, and I can't think of a better way to position ourselves for success than to give our young engineering professionals the tools that will support and inspire them to find new ways to manage the grid," said Michael Oshetski, Micatu CEO and an RIT alumnus. "Dylan and Akash were hand-picked by RIT's faculty because of their knowledge, abilities, and skills, and the entire Micatu team looks forward to seeing the innovations they create based on data from our groundbreaking optical sensors. Allowing young engineers to not only learn for themselves but help us to learn more about what our technology can do is why we partnered with RIT. In an industry that needs some fresh, young, bright minds, we're proud to sponsor Dylan and Akash and are excited to see what we can gather from their research."
Graduate research assistant Dylan Kotmel, a fourth-year student from Ithaca, New York, who is pursuing a master's in industrial and systems engineering, was selected for a Micatu sponsorship based on his work detecting grid anomalies. Kotmel plans to utilize his research in his final project for his dual-degree program.
"We're going to be getting these massive amounts of data from the sensors that will continue coming to us in real-time, and my goal is to come up with an anomaly detection method to analyze the different variables like voltage readings, temperature readings, and more to find anomalies most efficiently," Kotmel said. "I’m excited about this opportunity because not only is it my first time analyzing a large amount of data in real-time, but it will also allow me to apply the knowledge I have while making a difference within the industry.”
RIT industrial and systems engineering associate professor Katie McConky, who co-leads the research program with assistant professor Bing Yan and selected Kotmel for the sponsorship, says that the significant amount of data gleaned from Micatu’s sensors’ interactions with the microgrid will allow students like Kotmel and Kumar to study irregularities and anomalies in the system.
“We’re not only going to learn what the anomalies are, but we’ll also learn what normal-looking data looks like,” says McConky. “That way, we can understand what’s causing disturbances to come through and take actions to prevent those disturbances in the future.”
Akash Kumar, a Pakistani native in his first semester, pursuing his master’s degree in electrical engineering at RIT, says he hopes to use his research to learn more about renewable integration into utility grids.
“This project is utilizing a novel concept of optical sensors for the detection of voltage, current, power quality, and harmonics—all of these important parameters that engineers should know regarding electrical power,” Kumar said. “Not only will I get hands-on experience, but possibly some ideas about how to integrate these sensors in different situations. For example, if there is any fault on the transmission line, then we can detect and isolate a particular section of the transmission line with the problem so that only that section is affected.”
RIT electric and microelectronic engineering assistant professor Bing Yan, the supervising faculty member for Kumar’s research project, says the Micatu partnership provides professors and students more insight into renewable integration and synchronous inertia associated with the integration of renewable energy sources into modern grids.
“From the data, we will be able to draw more insights on how to better optimize power systems and distributed energy systems, which will only become more important in the next several years as industries continue the process of bringing renewable energy into the grid,” Yan said.
Last May, Micatu installed its state-of-the-art optical sensors on the RIT campus to provide a safe opportunity for students to monitor the campus microgrid and experience a hands-on learning environment in a real-world laboratory.
The student sponsorships are a continuation of this partnership. Through the entirety of its work with RIT, Micatu is creating opportunities for students to identify innovative career paths in the energy sector and is instilling the skills necessary for addressing the current and future challenges of managing the bidirectional flow on the grid resulting from renewable integration. The optical sensors also enable students to work with advanced technology to prepare them better to work with a modern, digital grid.
