Products and Platforms
The Nashoba Intelligent Control System (NICS) is the core Nashoba platform: a hardware-level control system positioned above the battery management system and below the operating system, designed to improve runtime stability, manage thermal conditions, and maintain system health in real time.
Nashoba reference device and power programs support pilot evaluation, integration, and deployment readiness across embedded, rugged, and mobile hardware environments.
Nashoba Intelligent Control System (NICS)
NICS is built for device makers, integrators, and partners who need stable, deterministic behavior under real operating conditions. Positioned above the BMS and below the OS, NICS interprets battery, thermal, power, and wireless telemetry in real time and applies policy-based control decisions to preserve runtime, maintain stability, and protect critical functionality.
Telemetry-driven power policy
Control logic designed to stabilize load transitions, reduce avoidable runtime loss, and preserve uptime during variable workloads.
- Voltage, current, and power trend monitoring
- Rate-of-change based early warning and policy response
- Controlled step-down and recovery behavior
Adaptive thermal response
Designed to detect early thermal events and recover cleanly without oscillation, false escalation, or unstable behavior.
- Thermal event detection with policy-based response
- Separation of transient and sustained conditions
- Hardware-level control enforcement strategy
Wireless stability and communication policy
Continuous signal monitoring with policy-based communication decisions built for environments where stable operation matters more than peak throughput.
- RSSI monitoring and decision logic
- 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz preference policy
- Designed for noisy, real-world environments
What NICS Is Designed to Improve
NICS is intended for platforms where runtime loss, thermal buildup, unstable load behavior, or communication inconsistency can affect performance and mission continuity.
Runtime stability
Preserve usable operating time by detecting and responding to avoidable stress before it becomes performance loss.
Thermal control
Recognize early thermal buildup and apply controlled response before sustained heat causes deeper instability.
System health
Interpret multiple telemetry sources together rather than reacting to isolated values without context.
Integration readiness
Support evaluation across tablets, embedded systems, and power-sensitive platforms moving toward pilot deployment.
NICS System Architecture
NICS is structured as a layered control system designed for compatibility across multiple battery, device, and embedded hardware environments. This allows the core control engine to remain consistent while supporting different interfaces, telemetry sources, and device policies.
Interface layer
Collects and normalizes telemetry from battery systems, sensors, wireless subsystems, and host signals, including external communication interfaces such as CAN.
Core engine
Interprets overall system health using battery, thermal, power, and communication inputs to evaluate stability, runtime risk, and changing system conditions in real time.
Policy layer
Applies device-specific control actions such as brightness control, workload throttling, communication policy adjustment, and runtime-preservation behavior.
Reference Programs
These programs help validate NICS in real hardware environments and support pilot readiness across mobile, embedded, and power-sensitive systems.
