Key Terms

thermal runaway technical

"real-time extinguishment of an EV in thermal runaway using revolutionary FCL-X™"

Thermal runaway is an uncontrolled, accelerating rise in temperature inside batteries, chemical systems, or equipment where heat being produced exceeds the system’s ability to shed it, often leading to fire, explosion, or permanent damage. Investors care because it creates safety recalls, regulatory scrutiny, liability and production stoppages that can sharply hurt a company’s finances and reputation — like a small spark that rapidly becomes a larger, costly disaster.

lithium-ion battery technical

"a leading US-based lithium-ion battery fire extinguishing products manufacturer"

A lithium-ion battery is a rechargeable energy cell that stores and releases power by moving lithium ions between two electrodes, like a pump moving water back and forth to hold and deliver energy. Investors care because these batteries power electric vehicles, portable electronics and grid storage, so factors such as cost, energy density, lifespan, and raw-material supply directly affect manufacturing costs, product competitiveness and long-term company profits.

market-making services financial

"appointment of Venture Liquidity Providers Inc. ("VLP") to provide market-making services"

Market-making services are when a firm continuously offers to buy and sell a particular stock, creating a steady flow of trading by quoting prices on both sides like a shop that always posts its buy and sell prices. They matter to investors because this activity narrows the gap between buying and selling prices and ensures orders can be executed quickly, much like a busy store making it easy to trade goods at predictable prices.
