Sustainable technology for Li-ion battery recycling, for a true circular economy.

cylib aims to secure global raw material demands by recycling Li-ion batteries. This is realized by a proprietary, resource-efficient and environmentally friendly end-to-end process. The holistic cylib-process gives commodities another life by treating used batteries and transforming them into marketable raw materials. With cylib’s process, it is possible to recover all battery components. This also includes Lithium and Graphite among other materials that are currently not recovered from batteries in the EU.

‍

The recycling process was developed over many years of research at RWTH Aachen University and contains all the relevant process steps, like mechanical, thermal and chemical treatments to reach high yields.

Using deep learning and quantum techniques to develop next-generation image and video codecs.

Deep Render is an AI company developing the next generation of image and video compression algorithms. Their proprietary and patented image-compression technology is at the forefront of machine learning research, providing a 10x improvement over the current industry standards.

‍

Deep Render´s vision is to combine the fields of Artificial Intelligence, Statistics and Information theory to unlock the fundamental limits of image and video compression. Their Biological compression approximates the neurological processes of the human eye through a non-linear, context-aware, learning-based approach, thereby creating a novel class of highly efficient compression algorithms. Moreover, while the traditional compression methods (HEIC; HEIF; AV1; VVC) have hit peak-innovation with significantly declining performance gains per iteration, Biological Compression technology is only starting.
