You miss the point...
CTLR's beginnings are very similar to Microphonics. Here's some of what CTLR has to say... This is off their web site 3/7/99 under profile.
CTRL Systems, Inc. was founded in 1989. Blah, blah, blah.
In the early 1990s CTRL Systems became involved with state-of-the-art ultrasound technology. This revolutionary technology allows detection of pending breakdowns in mechanical systems by monitoring ultrasound in a narrow band width. CTRL began marketing the ULTRAPHONIC TM Model 101 for the detection of failures in gears, bearings, hydraulics, pneumatics, vacuum, pressurized, and electrical systems.
In 1994 CTRL Systems, Inc. acquired all rights for manufacturing and distribution of the ULTRAPHONIC TM Model 101. Based on early marketing results with companies in manufacturing, transportation, utilities, and the military, a definition for an enhanced solution evolved. What began as a simple tool has become a solution that bridges man and machine to improve human intuition.

Any way, their entry date into the market, initial focus on military, acquiring rights, etc., are all similar to Microphonics #reply-8042125. In other words, both companies appear to have similar origins. |
