Mobile Shower Commode Chairs
Raz products are mobility, toileting and bathing systems designed for caregivers, clinicians, and individuals with mobility impairments. They improve safety, positioning and accesibility during toileting, bathing and tub transfers though innovative designs.



Nuvio One Rollator
Nuvio One is a close-reach mobility device designed to help people with reduced mobility walk, rise, and move with greater support and control.



Connected Access Hardware
Sera4’s AP3 is a connected padlock designed to secure remote and distributed physical assets, enabling identity-based access control, real-time monitoring, and auditable field operations.



Laser Rangefinder Monocular
Newcon’s LRM 3500M is a rugged laser rangefinder monocular designed for military and field operators who need precise long-range distance measurement, targeting support, and observation in demanding environments.



Recirculating Shower
RainStick is a recirculating shower system for homeowners and sustainability focused builders. It delivers a high-flow shower experience while reducing water and energy consumption by recirculating water through an integrated filtration and UV sanitation system.



Portable Water Purification
Portage is a durable, reliable, go-anywhere water filtration system to provide safe drinking water anywhere in the world. Its novel graphene ultrafilter technology cleans the dirt and bacteria from the water, and when used in a brackish or sea water environment, an optional reverse-osmosis stage removes the salt.



EV Charger Pedestal
Rivian’s Level 2 charger pedestal is an outdoor mounting and cable-management system designed to support one- or two-charger wallbox configurations, combining structural support, service access, and a cleaner field-ready charging experience around an existing charger platform.



Portable Forensic Document Imaging System
A portable forensic document imaging system that enables field operators to examine and capture records using transmitted, visible, infrared, ultraviolet, and edge lighting within a compact deployable copy stand.



Autonomous Weed Picking Robot
Nexus Robotics’ platform is an autonomous, AI-driven agricultural vehicle that enables growers to selectively remove weeds at field scale by integrating machine vision, hybrid-electric propulsion, and robotic manipulation into a commercially deployed, field-ready system.



Lidar Surface Map Scanner
RockMass Eon is a handheld LiDAR-based underground mapping device designed for geotechnical engineers to capture structured geological data at the rock face with less physical strain, faster field workflow, and reduced post-shift transcription.



Surgical Mining Instrumentation
Novamera’s control unit is a ruggedized subsurface electronics housing for its Surgical Mining™ system, designed to package and protect control, power, communication, conditioning, and telemetry electronics in a compact assembly for underground operation.
