About this technology

Overview

Verdigris Technologies Inc. created a sensor that _listens_ to electronic signals as they pass through a circuit panel to determine how much power each device is using. Thanks to a nonreimbursable Space Act Agreement and testing at Ames Research Center_s Sustainability Base, the Moffett Field, California-based company was able to bring its product to market and has found happy customers in hotels, hospitals, corporate offices and more.
