We are offering a diverse portfolio of ten recently issued US Patents and two US Patents pending. Note that the traditional ribbon copy cover has been replaced by the new style cover starting with the issue of patent 10,000,000. The portfolio of Intellectual Properties comprises six families of inventions in three categories--three families in Metrology, one family in Optics, and two families in Emergency Communications. The inventions span technologies including; large-scale dimensional metrology, structural health monitoring, nondestructive testing, finite element modeling, emergency telephone communications and internet services, emergency preparation and management, through-the-earth mine communication, digital signal processing, optics, acoustics and allied technologies. Please see the Business Opportunities tab for sales and licensing information.
