📌 MAROKO133 Breaking ai: University Accidentally Sends Emergency Alerts for Tornad

The world hasn’t ended yet. But for a brief moment for students at an Alabama institution this Thursday, it probably felt like it was about to.

Early that afternoon, the alert system at Auburn University blasted out three emergency alerts making extraordinary claims: that there had been an active shooter, a tornado, and a hazardous waste spill all within minutes of each other.

“AN ALERT: THERE IS AN ACTIVE SHOOTER ON THE CAMPUS. THIS IS NOT A DRILL!” reads one of the alerts, per WFSA 12.

It was indeed not a drill, but instead a false alarm — as were all the other alerts. The idyllic Alabama town hadn’t been thrusted into the plot of a Don DeLillo story, if Don DeLillo had made a late career pivot to writing disaster B-movies instead.

Auburn University later apologized for its apocalyptic augurings, which were broadcasted across a hectic twenty minutes, and blamed the incident on a “technical error.”

“Please be assured that there was no threat to campus or the community. The alerts were triggered unintentionally, and we are actively working to resolve the issue to prevent future occurrences,” the university said in a statement. “We understand the alerts may have caused concern or alarm, and we sincerely apologize for any confusion.”

The mishap is another example of alert systems going dramatically wrong. Perhaps the most infamous false alarm in recent memory was when an emergency alert warning of an inbound ballistic missile lit up phones across Hawaii in 2018, sending the island state into a frenzied panic. 

“SEEK IMMEDIATE SHELTER. THIS IS NOT A DRILL,” the alert warned. It took nearly forty minutes before a correction was issued.

The year before on the island territory of Guam, an unauthorized test of the emergency broadcast system was conducted on two radio stations shortly after midnight, stating that there was a “civil danger warning.” Tensions on the island were already high at the time amid fears of an invasion by North Korea, no doubt leading some to believe that a “Red Dawn” scenario was finally upon them.

In 2020, millions of people in Ontario, Canada, were woken up with blaring emergency alerts on their phone stating that there had been an “incident” at a nearby nuclear plant. Over an hour later, another loud alert issued a correction: there was no active nuclear situation.

We should remind you, reader, that these events are outliers, and that you should still treat any emergency alert seriously, including your building’s fire alarm that management was supposed to take care of years ago. For who knows: maybe there really is a toxic tornado raging towards campus with guns akimbo.

📌 MAROKO133 Update ai: US firm’s EV battery test shows 83% capacity after 4,000 cy

US-based Sakuu, a provider of battery manufacturing equipment, has released performance data showing its Kavian platform can produce battery electrodes with breakthrough cycle life longevity using a fully dry processed cathode.

The company announced that a test cell manufactured using its Kavian dry-printing process retained 83% of its charge after 4,000 cycles.

Sakuu described this as an unprecedented milestone in battery viability for a fully dry process, placing its capabilities at the forefront of commercial lithium-ion batteries used in electric vehicles (EVs) and mass energy storage.

This performance data is significant as it effectively doubles the minimum standard for EV viability.

“For comparison, a typical NCM battery cell should cycle more than 2000 times while retaining at least 80 percent state of health for minimum EV viability,” said Sakuu in a press release.

Myth-busting achievement

“We’re so proud of the performance of Kavian-manufactured battery electrodes,” said Robert Bagheri, Sakuu founder, CEO, and executive chairman.

“Our extensive testing confirms that Kavian’s dry manufacturing process can be reliably trusted to deliver a product that will meet or exceed the capabilities of current wet processes.”

Bagheri called the achievement “myth-busting,” noting it dispels doubts about the suitability of using a dry process for printing Li-ion battery electrodes. 

He added that customers have reported that other manufacturers experimenting with dry processes often struggle to achieve satisfactory results, particularly with the cathode.

Addressing foundational challenges

The Li-ion validation cell producing the dramatic performance was a 1Ah cell with a graphite anode and a fully dry printed NCM811 cathode, cycled at 1C/1C. Sakuu noted the results were achieved without any new materials or process optimization.

The Kavian platform’s dry process innovation addresses foundational challenges in traditional battery manufacturing, which relies on a “wet-coated” process.

Compared to this conventional method, Sakuu claims its dry-process production offers significant environmental and cost benefits. 

These include the 100% elimination of toxic solvents and water, a 55% reduction in CO2 emissions, a 60% smaller manufacturing footprint, and a 30% saving in utility operating costs.

Supporting both anode and cathode production

For context, Kavian is a flexible and reliable 3D printing technology that integrates seamlessly with existing electro-chemistries, supporting both anode and cathode production.

Besides, Kavian dry-prints electrodes in a variety of chemistries, and allows for rapid innovation while reducing waste and avoiding toxins.

In addition to battery electrodes, the Kavian platform is also capable of dry printing supercapacitor electrodes.

“Kavian is not only the world’s first additive manufacturing solution to dry print battery electrodes; it also dry prints supercapacitor electrodes to meet the unique power needs of AI data centers where demand is surging,” highlighted the company.

The company is currently working to fulfill the first orders for Kavian and has already delivered hundreds of meters of high-quality dry electrode to customers.

Earlier, Sakuu had joined hands with International Battery Company (IBC) to use the Kavian platform for dry-process production of current and next-generation battery and supercapacitor solutions.
