Rawlings this month released its new REV1X series of baseball gloves, which it says were "secretly" developed for years

ST. LOUIS About three years ago, Rawlings Sporting Goods began to think about how it might be able to develop a new type of baseball glove using cutting-edge technology.

The Town & Country-based sports equipment manufacturer soon found its blueprint for the project thanks to a conversation with New York Mets shortstop Francisco Lindor. The four-time All-Star and two-time Gold Glove Award winner wanted a glove that would keep the thumb and the pinky of his glove stiff while also having a soft pocket to trap the baseball.

Once we identified the problem withFrancisco Lindor, then we really had a target," saidRyan Farrar, senior director of ball gloves at Rawlings.

Rawlings this month released its new REV1X series of baseball gloves, which it says were "secretly" developed for years and both inspired by and designed with help from Lindor. The REV1X takes a swing at using 3D printing technology for baseball gloves to offer what Rawlings says is better playability and durability. The REV1X gloves include 3D-printed lattice inserts for the thumb and pinky designed to provide a stiffer feel, a laceless web and heel, and a molded 3D design on the glove back. Rawlings teamed up with 3D printing technology company Carbon and digital manufacturer Fast Radius to develop the glove, which retails for $399.

TheBusiness Journalcaught up with Farrar to discuss the new glove and the companys innovation process. The conversation has been edited for length and clarity.

How did you strategize the development of this new series of gloves? Once the problem was identified, we went to the drawing board with our engineers. We had confines of what we could work in. We knew we needed to make a glove that was different, but also traditional in feel and play of a ball glove. There were certain things we knew we couldnt touch. We started with, We can mess with these, we cant mess with these. For example, leather lace, leather palm, leather web all the places where you need the leather so the ball broke in we didnt touch. Then we said, What can we touch? We knew we needed to look at the padding. We know we can mess with the back of the glove. We know we can mess with the end sides of the glove and how it goes along the wrist. We literally just wrote those on a board and just started attacking each one.

How did you keep the consumer in mind while developing the glove? The first thing is the price point. We knew starting out we couldnt, even given technology, come out with a $1,000 baseball glove and be like, "Here it is. Were Rawlings, take it or leave it. The market above $279, $359, $399, $500, it shrinks dramatically. The price point was super important to us because we are believers in this technology. We wanted to make sure that high school kids had the opportunity to go out and use this high-end glove the same as the pro guys do. It does you no good to make this REV1X that is only for pro players. If you have something, you want to make sure its attainable for 13- to 18-year-old baseball players. We met a lot and talked to a lot of customers and consumers about the ceiling of where this could be.

Why is innovation needed for the baseball glove? A lot of people would think there aren't too many ways to tinker with a baseball glove.Thats been the mindset for a very long time. It really hasnt evolved or there hasnt been some serious innovation in quite some time. The one thing about the REV1X that is unique in the Carbon pieces is the playability, consistently. It starts out stiffer than padding and then what happens when your glove starts to break in is that padding starts to get soft whereas that Carbon padding has consistent playability throughout the life cycle of the product. Its super important you know your glove is going to perform like it did yesterday throughout the life. Thats not to say felt and wool are not for gloves. They are very good for gloves and have been used for gloves for a long time. They are the two best materials for it, but the consistent playability for the REV1X is probably the easiest I would explain to someone for it.

Worldwide 3D Printing Industry to 2026 - Need of Technology in Post-Processing Systems Presents Opportunities - PRNewswire

Most solar panels covering the worlds rooftops, fields, and deserts today share the same ingredient: crystalline silicon. The material, made from raw polysilicon, is shaped into wafers and wired into solar cells, devices that convert sunlight into electricity. Recently, the industrys dependence on this singular technology has become something of a liability. Supply chain bottlenecks are slowing down new solar installations worldwide. Major polysilicon suppliers in Chinas Xinjiang region accused of using forced labor from Uyghurs are facing U.S. trade sanctions.

Fortunately, crystalline silicon isnt the only material that can help harness the suns energy. In the United States, scientists and manufacturers are working to expand production of cadmium telluride solar technology. Cadmium telluride is a type of thin film solar cell, and, as that name suggests, its much thinner than a traditional silicon cell. Today, panels using cadmium telluride supply about 40 percent of the U.S. utility-scale market, and about 5 percent of the global solar market. And they stand to benefit from the headwinds facing the broader solar industry.

Its a very volatile time, especially for the crystalline silicon supply chain in general, said Kelsey Goss, a solar research analyst for the energy consultancy group Wood Mackenzie. Theres great potential for cadmium telluride manufacturers to take more market share in the coming year. Especially, she noted, since the cadmium telluride sector is already scaling up.

In June, the solar manufacturer First Solar said it would invest $680 million in a third cadmium telluride solar factory in northwest Ohio. When the facility is finished, in 2025, the company will be able to make 6 gigawatts worth of solar panels in the area. Thats enough to power roughly 1 million American homes. Another Ohio-based solar firm, Toledo Solar, recently entered the market and is making cadmium telluride panels for residential rooftops. And in June, the U.S. Department of Energy and its National Renewable Energy Laboratory, or NREL, launched a $20 million program to accelerate research and grow the supply chain for cadmium telluride. One of the goals of the program is to help insulate the U.S. solar market from global supply constraints.

Researchers at NREL and First Solar, previously called Solar Cell Inc., have worked together since the early 1990s to develop cadmium telluride technology. Cadmium and telluride are byproducts of smelting zinc ores and refining copper, respectively. Whereas silicon wafers are wired together to make cells, cadmium and telluride are applied as a thin layer about one-tenth of the diameter of a human hair to a pane of glass, along with other electricity-conducting materials. First Solar, now the worlds largest thin film manufacturer, has supplied panels for solar installations in 45 countries.

The technology has certain advantages over crystalline silicon, said NREL scientist Lorelle Mansfield. For instance, the thin film process requires fewer materials than the wafer-based approach. Thin film technology is also well-suited for use in flexible panels, like ones that cover backpacks or drones or are integrated into building faades and windows. Importantly, the thin film panels perform better in hot temperatures, while silicon panels can overheat and become less efficient at generating electricity, she said.

But crystalline silicon has the upper hand in other areas, such as their average efficiency meaning the percentage of sunlight that panels absorb and convert into electricity. Historically, silicon panels have had higher efficiencies than cadmium telluride technology, though the gap is narrowing.Todays industrially produced silicon panels can achieve efficiencies of 18 to 22 percent, while First Solar has reported an average efficiency of 18 percent for its newest commercial panels.

Still, the main reason silicon has dominated the global market is relatively simple. It all comes down to the cost, Goss said. The solar market tends to be highly driven by the cheapest technology.

Crystalline silicon costs about $0.24 to $0.25 to produce each watt of solar power, which is less than other contenders, she said. First Solar said it no longer reports the cost-per-watt to produce its cadmium telluride panels, only that costs have declined significantly since 2015 when the company reported costs of $0.46 per watt and continue to drop every year. There are a few reasons for silicons relative cheapness. The raw material polysilicon, which is also used in computers and smartphones, is more widely available and inexpensive than supplies of cadmium and telluride. As factories for silicon panels and related components have scaled up, the overall costs of making and installing the technology have declined. The Chinese government has also heavily supported and subsidized the countrys silicon solar sector so much so that about 80 percent of the worlds solar manufacturing supply chain now runs through China.

Falling panel costs have driven the global solar boom. Over the last decade, the worlds total installed solar capacity has seen a nearly tenfold increase, from about 74,000 megawatts in 2011 to nearly 714,000 megawatts in 2020, according to the International Renewable Energy Agency. The United States accounts for about one-seventh of the worlds total, and solar is now one of the largest sources of new electricity capacity installed in the U.S. every year.

The cost per watt of cadmium telluride and other thin film technologies is similarly expected to shrink as manufacturing expands. (First Solar says that when its new Ohio facility opens, the company will deliver the lowest cost per watt on the entire solar market.) But cost isnt the only metric that matters, as the industrys current supply chain issues and labor concerns make clear.

Mark Widmar, CEO of First Solar, said the companys planned $680 million expansion is part of a larger effort to build a self-sufficient supply chain and decouple the U.S. solar industry from China. Although cadmium telluride panels dont use any polysilicon, First Solar has felt other challenges facing the industry, like pandemic-induced backlogs in the maritime shipping industry. In April, First Solar told investors that congestion at American ports was holding up panel shipments from its facilities in Asia. Increasing U.S. production will allow the company to use roads and railways to ship its panels, not cargo ships, Widmar said. And the companys existing recycling program for its solar panels allows it to reuse materials many times over, further reducing its reliance on foreign supply chains and raw materials.

As First Solar churns out panels, scientists at both the company and NREL continue to test and improve cadmium telluride technology. In 2019, the partners developed a new approach that involves doping the thin film materials with copper and chlorine to achieve even higher efficiencies. Earlier this month, NREL announced the results of a 25-year field test at its outdoor facility in Golden, Colorado. A 12-panel array of cadmium telluride panels was operating at 88 percent of its original efficiency, a strong result for a panel thats sat outside for over two decades. The degradation is in line with what silicon systems do, according to the NREL release.

Mansfield, the NREL scientist, said the goal isnt to replace crystalline silicon with cadmium telluride or establish one technology as superior to the other. I think theres a place for all of them in the market, and they each have their applications, she said. We want all energy to go to renewable sources, so we really need all of these different types of technology to meet that challenge.

A different kind of solar technology is poised to go big - Grist

In a webinar hosted by the Innovative Payments Association last week, Christina Tetreault, the new leader of the Office of Financial Technology and Innovation (OFTI) within the California Department of Financial Protection and Innovation (DFPI), gave us a glimpse of the OFTI's purpose, function, and initial goals. Tetreault also welcomed discussion and questions from the audience about the role of the OFTI.

Tetreault emphasized the OFTI's focus on outreach and engagement. To that end, she is leading efforts to collect as much feedback from a broad range of individuals, including industry stakeholders and consumers, concerning the issues underlying financial services technology and innovation. She even invited webinar participants to submit meeting requests and shared her direct email address.

From experience, she has been happy to schedule discussions and hear how the OFTI can be effective and encourage responsible innovation in California. Tetreault plans to create a streamlined intake process directly from the OFTI's website, once the site is launched.

According to Tetreault, the OFTI hopes to facilitate useful conversations across the DFPI. And though the OFTI is not completely insulated from DFPI's enforcement role, its goal is to help create opportunities for discussions early on, before enforcement is an issue.

The OFTI will also start several research initiatives on prominent issues in its early days, once it becomes more fully staffed. Currently, Tetreault anticipates the earlier research endeavors will look at COVID-19 impacts and related trends within the financial technology space, including how fragmentation in payments has impacted consumers.

DWT looks forward to engaging with the OFTI and is excited to follow its developments under Tetreault's helm.

The Helion Energy power plant is expected to have positive implications for the region's air quality and clean energy production.

EVERETT, Wash. Gov. Jay Inslee was in attendance Tuesday morning as the fusion clean energy facility broke ground in Everett.

Inslee was joined by Everett Mayor Cassie Franklin and Helion Energy CEO David Kirtley, the company behind the new facility.

Helion Energy said the facility would use a zero-carbon non-ignition fusion technology to produce affordable power that is flexible and scalable, bringing long-term jobs in the science, tech, engineering and mathematics fields.

The plant will also have positive implications with its non-ignition fusion method for Everett and the surrounding area in terms of air quality, something that's been scrutinized after recent incidents involving another energy company in the region.

The Shell Oil Company was recently fined $60,000 by the Northwest Clean Air Agency (NWCAA) for incidents in the fall of 2020 related to its Puget Sound Refinery in Anacortes.

According to the NWCAA, in August and September, the refinery experienced flaring events that caused a harsh smell to persist throughout Anacortes and more than the allowable visible emissions to be released into the air.

Odors and smoke traveled downwind over the Swinomish Indian Tribal Community lands. The tribe released a statement Tuesday, saying in part, The toxic pollution was felt by, and sickened, multiple Tribal community members and Reservation residents, some of whom had to seek medical treatment.

The NWCAA cited Shell for a similar incident in 2015 and collected a $133,000 penalty.

The new Helion Energy power plant in Everett will be located just east of the Boeing campus near the Evergreen neighborhood.
