WILMINGTON,
Del., March 30 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- PSI-TEC Corporation,
a wholly owned subsidiary of PSI-TEC Holdings, Inc.
(Pink Sheets: PTHO)
announced today the filing of a patent application
complementary to its
already extensive Intellectual Property (IP) holdings
in the field.
The current patent
covers novel material design of nano-materials
(materials designed at the molecular level) known
as electro-optic plastics.
Electro-optic plastics are expected by experts in
the field to have potential
applications in many civilian and military systems,
including radar, satellite
and fiber-optic telecommunications, cable television
(CATV), aerial and
missile guidance, electronic counter measure (ECM)
systems, ultraquick analog-
to-digital-conversion, land mine detection and signal
processing.
Over
the past several years, electro-optic plastics have
demonstrated, under laboratory conditions, performance
character close to four times that of
existing telecommunication technologies. This means
that electro-optic
plastics have already demonstrated almost four times
the bandwidth capability
of its primary competitive technology. Bandwidth is
a measure of how fast
information is transferred over the Internet.
"Performance
is extremely important," explains Frederick Goetz,
President
and CEO of PSI-TEC, "and we believe our material
designs will far outperform
any other electro-optic material in existence, but
stability is the real Achilles' heel of electro-optic
plastics.
"Stability is
the dirty little secret that scientists in this field
don't
like to talk about."
The broad proliferation
of electro-optic plastics in current
telecommunication systems has in large part been limited
by issues related to
device stability. Stability is a measure of how long
and under what
conditions a device can function normally before its
operational performance
begins to fluctuate or decline.
PSI-TEC's current
patent covers atomic-scale structures that attempt
to
evenly distribute electric charge (in a process known
as charge-
delocalization) in order to avoid the stability issues
currently associated
with electro-optic plastics.
About PSI-TEC
PSI-TEC Corporation is a developmental stage company
that engineers next-
generation electro-optic (EO) plastics for future
applications vital to modern
commerce, homeland security, and medical technology.
PSI-TEC's proprietary
electro-optic plastics are produced at the molecular
level for superior
performance, stability and cost-efficiency and are
expected to replace more
expensive, lower-performance materials used in fiber-optic
ground, wireless
and satellite communication networks.
