Tempo Sense develops patented smart-sensing technology that combines edge processing with neuromorphic sensing for applications in defense, always-on detection, and personal computing. Its U.S.-based team draws on pioneering work in computer vision and neuromorphic computing to build compact sensors designed for faster, more power-efficient detection and tracking.
OCULI CorporationOCULI Corporation develops software-defined vision sensors and AI-vision semiconductors that process visual information directly at the pixel, enabling low-power, real-time sensing at the edge. Founded around technology developed through more than $40 million in research investment at Johns Hopkins University, the company’s Sensing and Processing Unit filters data on-chip so raw images do not need to leave the device. Its platform is intended for physical-AI applications including autonomous systems, smart buildings, connected devices, and defense platforms.ROCHESTER, NY
AIStorm IncHouston-based AIStorm develops semiconductor IP, integrated circuits and complete edge-AI solutions built around its patented charge-domain computing technology. Its specialty is putting intelligence directly alongside sensors, enabling low-power, always-on processing for imaging, audio and biometric applications without the usual digitizing step. The company’s engineering, manufacturing and business team has collectively produced more than 1,000 SoCs, and AIStorm serves major chip vendors and model makers as customers while offering custom development and licensing.CHARDON, OH
Hidden Level, IncFounded in 2018, Syracuse-based Hidden Level develops and manufactures passive radio-frequency sensing hardware, software, and data services that turn activity across the spectrum into airspace intelligence. Its U.S.-made systems detect and track crewed and uncrewed aircraft—including RF-silent targets—for defense, public safety, and critical-infrastructure applications. The company now operates four Syracuse facilities, including an advanced manufacturing campus with an anechoic chamber for in-house system testing.SYRACUSE, NY
N5 Sensors, IncRockville-based N5 Sensors builds semiconductor-derived chemical sensors and autonomous detection platforms that give machines real-time awareness of hazardous gases and vapors. Its SPH™ microsensor core combines on-device AI with cloud analytics across fixed, wearable, and mesh-network systems, serving applications from defense and emergency response to event and infrastructure safety. Founded by semiconductor physicist Abhishek Motayed, the company holds seven patents and designs its sensing core for calibration-free, over-the-air-updatable operation.ROCKVILLE, MD
