Rhombic Corporation is a company engaged in the business of seeking and
acquiring proprietary technologies with applications greater than $100
million, with the objective of incubating them, and then bringing them to
commercialization. Rhombic scientists have developed several
ground-breaking,
unique technologies.
Inertial Electrostatic Confinement Fusion Technology (IEC)
Dr. George Miley, who is a professor of nuclear, electrical and computer
engineering at the University of Illinois, has patented a neutron generator
(a fusion machine), currently in commercial production through an agreement
with Daimler-Chrysler Aerospace, which unlike any other fusion machine, is
small enough to sit on a desktop, can be switched on and off at will, and
which produces extremely minute amounts of radioactive waste. It is a small
metallic football shaped sphere and it's primary purpose is not to make
energy but to generate neutrons. Billions of them a second. Neutrons are
subatomic particles with no electric charge that have an extraordinary range
of uses such as: 1) To analyze materials, neutrons can be used to identify
most common elements in a matter of seconds versus chemical analysis which
can take hours 2) Neutrons help scientists to work out the structure of new
molecules and crystals 3) Neutron particle beams are being used for cancer
treatment and I have been told that the IEC unit has now surpassed 10^9
power
neutrons per second, which is powerful enough for that purpose 4) Mining
companies can use the neutron generator to spot impurities in ores while
still in the process of being mined 5) Specialized metal smelters will use
them to monitor the composition and quality of metal alloys in real time.
Other Practical Applications for IEC Technology
- Experimentation with fusion at university laboratories
- Analysis of mineral quality in the coal, cement and similar industries
- Exploration for minerals and oil
- Detection of non-metallic antipersonnel mines (land mines)
- Combustion and gasification
- Generation of electrical energy
- Detection of contraband at airports, bus stops, train stations and similar areas
Until now neutrons have been extremely dangerous and difficult to generate
and required the use of a nuclear reactor or a high powered particle
accelerator to do the job and neutron analysis could only take place by
utilizing the expert facilities of a very few specialized laboratories. The
IEC unit produces neutrons more cheaply and safely than existing methods.
According to John Sved, an engineer with Daimler-Chrysler Aerospace, the IEC
units are safe and easy to use which gives them an edge over other well
established neutron sources. The neutron generating sources in use now
contain radioactive gases such as Californium and have a risk of
contamination from radioactive isotopes. With the IEC unit customers can
avoid these risks because they are fueled by harmless deuterium, and the
only
waste is helium-3 gas, a hint of hydrogen and negligible traces of
radioactive tritium. "A small IEC neutron generator could run for decades
without creating enough radioactive waste to exceed minimum regulated
levels," Sved says. "The machine could be completely consumed in a fire and
there would be virtually no concern about escaping radiation." Daimler-Benz
(Chrysler) plans to remove the tritium from the spheres safely each time
they
are recharged with fresh deuterium.
Through Rhombic's wholly owned subsidiary, Rockford Technology Associates,
the University of Illinois has licensed the technology to Daimler-Chrysler
Aerospace (DASA) of Trauen, Germany, for which Daimler-Chrysler will pay a
3.2% royalty to Rhombic Corp. For the rights to develop, manufacture, and
market the IEC technology to the world. This agreement provides Rhombic with
a long-term royalty on all IEC sales in Europe, Asia, Africa, South America,
Australia, and New Zealand in the amount of 3.2% for each unit sold.
Rhombic
is estimating that they will receive $5 million in royalties into the year
2000 (which does not include the much larger prospective income from
Rhombic's marketing rights in North America). The first units are expected
to
ship from Trauen in the first half of 1999. The IEC units will be sold,
depending on size and use, for between $60,000 and $150,000 each - a mere
fraction of the cost of the nuclear reactors or particle accelerators now
being used to produce neutron beams. Rhombic Corp. will retain all rights
throughout North America and will be actively pursuing the sale of those
rights.
A milestone has been achieved in that shipments of the IEC FusionStar have
begun and the first payment of royalties has been received.
Special Update - On May 20, 1999, Rhombic announced that it had received
its
first annual report in accordance with the 1996 license agreement between
Daimler- Chrysler Aerospace (DASA), the University of Illinois, and its
wholly owned subsidiary Rockford Technologies (RTA).Highlights of the report
produced by DASA's new FusionStar unit includes development of the inertial
electrostatic confinement device (IEC) as a point source neutron generator
to
the commercial stage.
Market interest for the IEC neutron generators continues. Presentation and
test site demonstrations have been made to a number of prospective original
equipment manufacturer customers. The applications of the IEC demonstrations
included ON-LINE MINERAL ANALYSIS, SECURITY INSPECTION SYSTEMS, and LAND
MINE
DETECTION. In all cases, the prospective customers responded with technical
requirements.
The technical collaboration continues between the University of Illinois
Fusion Studies Laboratory and DASA FusionStar. The goal is to scale up the
fundamental research support and to enlarge the FusionStar development team.
IEC may be further developed for: * An optical gas mixture that provides
higher neutron energy and flux. * A pulsed neutron generator that provides
higher neutron flux and pulsed mode operation. * The line source chamber
that
will be pulsed
Forced Diffusion Diamond Process
Rhombic Corporation holds Patent #5,597,762, covering the "Forced Diffusion"
diamond technology and which was issued January 28th, 1997. The United
States
Patent Office received Rhombic's diamond patent application September 27th,
1994.
Rhombic Corporation's doped negative type (N-type) diamond technology, often
referred to as forced diffusion, has been successfully etched in a former
Soviet Republic laboratory to create two functional integrated circuits.
This
breakthrough by Rhombic in successfully diffusing different elements into
diamond film produces a diamond with electronic properties greatly superior
to those of silicon, the material now used to make computer chips. This
proprietary technology is theoretically so powerful that a computer chip can
operate hundreds of times faster than silicon. In addition, such N-type
films
are considerably more resistant to heat and radiation than silicon,
extending
indefinitely the life of electronic circuitry. This means not only ultra
fast integrated circuits and chips, but also diamond diodes and switches,
resulting in a complete revolution of today's computers.
This technology will have a broad impact on the existing diamond film
market,
currently about $100 million and growing at a projected rate of 10 percent
per year. Applications range from computer and TV screens to diamond tools
and coatings for high-fidelity speakers. The total market for cutting tools
worldwide in 1991 was $250 million, of which $102 million was diamond
material. The projected sales of diamond electronics, currently about $6
million a year, is expected to reach $500 million by the year 2000. This
market is by far the most dynamic in the diamond film industry.
Rhombic Corporation has established ties with an International company, and
is working on an agreement to dope white mined diamond with boron to see if
the properties of the more economical white diamond can be modified to match
that of mined blue diamond. In addition, Rhombic is pursuing agreements with
other companies to develop applications based on material modification by
the
addition of impurities. The market for boron-doped diamond film for the
first
year is projected to be in excess of $30 million, with markets exploited by
Drunker, DeBeers of Europe, and Norton Diamond of the United States.
Nanophase diamond powders are a new material that was developed for the
Russian military program. It is a diamond powder made up of very small
pieces
of diamond with a narrow distribution of sizes about four nanometers in
diameter. Rhombic is developing a process to press and bind the nanophase
diamond powder to form a hard material. The forced diffusion process can
change the mechanical properties of diamond grit by boron doping, making the
grit 10 to 15 percent harder than ordinary diamond grit. The market for
diamond grit is approximately $70 million a year.
With the release of the Patent "Field Enhanced Diffusion Using Optical
Activation", Rhombic Corporation is preparing to establish its first
manufacturing/laboratory site at Columbia, Missouri, to produce Positive (P)
type diamond film, and to finalize the development of Negative (N) type
diamond.
By diffusing certain elements into the diamond interstices, Rhombic has
already created a number of integrated N-type diamond circuits, and has
immediate plans to produce diamond diodes and switches. Diamond is unique
among all materials since it is both heat and radiation resistant, and is so
electrically conductive that diamond chip speed is potentially a thousand
times faster than silicon. Harder cutting tools and abrasives, diamond tv
screens and computer monitors, sensors, bearings and radar are among a
number
of potential applications of doped diamond which Rhombic Corporation will be
developing.
Special Update:
On July 27, 1999, Rhombic Corporation announced that a third proposal has
been accepted from the University of Missouri at Columbia that uses the
company's "Forced Diffusion" technology to produce a quality line of colored
diamonds for the rapidly growing high-end accessory market. The "Forced
Diffusion" process will be used to change ordinary colorless white diamonds
into beautiful and valued shades of pink, orange, blue, and green and
possibly the very rare red. The color changes to these diamonds will be
virtually undetectable from natural colored diamonds. Colored diamonds,
known
as fancies, are valued for their depth of color, just as white diamonds are
valued for their lack of color.
The company's initial 1996 experimental work in altering color in diamonds
was successful in producing diamonds in a color range of range to carnation.
In the same year the figure for annual retail sales of colored gemstone
jewelry was estimated at $10 billion while the world jewelry market is
estimated to be between $50 and $60 billion according to Cheryl Kremkow,
Director of International Colored Gemstone Association Gembureau. Plans for
implementation and development of the new project are scheduled to commence
on September 1, 1999.
Since the color change will be used to enhance natural diamonds, the "Forced
Diffusion" process will produce colored diamonds with the same properties;
physical, optical, chemical, brilliance, and fire of a natural diamond
unlike
moissanite or cubic zirconia that are only simulants containing a different
chemistry, different optical properties, etc.
June 28, 1999, Rhombic Corporation announced that the company has accepted a
second proposal from the University of Missouri to participate in a joint
research plan to develop doped diamond electrodes and undoped diamond film
for the hydrogen fuel cell market.
The doped diamond electrodes will be non-corrosive with the unique features
of excellent thermal, chemical, and electrical conductive properties. The
use
of boron doped diamond film in the development of these electrodes will add
efficiency to hydrogen fuel cells now being produced for automobiles, buses,
and trucks. Work on this project also is expected to begin on September 1,
1999.
On June 21, 1999, Rhombic Corporation announced that the company has
accepted
a proposal from the University of Missouri to use its laboratory facilities,
technical equipment, and personnel in the purification of silicon carbide
and
gallium nitride wafer materials using the Rhombic technology "to purify the
gallium nitride of the unintentional oxygen and silicon impurities
incorporated into the structure, and to purify the silicon carbide wafers of
the pollutants boron, nitrogen, and oxygen." This project began July 1, 1999
under the supervision of Dr. Mark Prelas. The wafers which were purchased
from US manufacturers in two and three inch crystal sizes are being treated
with Rhombic's patented "Forced Diffusion" process.
The gallium nitride wafer is a blue laser generator, and silicon carbide is
a
major factor in high temperature, high speed electronics. Both materials are
light emitting diodes that can be modified to produce photovoltaic cells
that
assist in the conversion of ultra violet light to electricity. Reducing the
impurities in the wafers would give them an improved effectiveness with a
longer life span, and simplify the construction of photovoltaic cells.
According to the 1999 Industry Report, "Silicon will remain the dominant
material for substrates and wafers for the foreseeable future with demand
exceeding $7 billion in 1999. The push for ever greater performance at lower
prices has brought new wafer technologies into the market."
Rhombic's patented "Forced Diffusion" process can be used to add to or to
take out impurities from diamond, silicon carbide, gallium nitride, and
other
special materials to midify the optical, chemical, electrical, and
mechanical
properties of those materials.
On June 11, 1999, Rhombic Corporation announced that the company has
acquired
the technology to develop a solid state diamond based neutron
monitor/detection device.
Because of the company's expertise in diamond films, and its patented
"Forced
Diffusion" technology, work on the monitor/detection device can be developed
at the University of Missouri along side other applications of "Forced
Diffusion"..
Plans are to develop a very small solid state monitor/detector which would
be
portable and useful in personnel monitoring at nuclear power plants, for
detection of weapon's grade nuclear materials, as a sensor for nuclear
reactors, and as a device for small area flux profiling. By varying the
doping element infused into diamond through "Forced Diffusion", it is
predicted that an array of detectors could be built that are sensitive to
various energy neutrons. Such an array could do small area spectrum analysis
of neutron energies.
This proposed device also would be saleable to the purchasers of the
Inertial
Electrostatic Confinement (IEC) fusion devices soon to be produce din
Europe.
The IEC devices created neutrons by the millions per second through fusion
of
hydrogen atoms. Rhombic's proposed monitor/detector would help track the
neutron activity.
On May 26, 1999, Rhombic Corporation announced the acquisition of a method
for manufacturing a highly efficient disperse deposit material (DCM) or
dust
plasma, that is made up of a homogeneous interior covered with a thin and
strong connective coating. Dr. Vladamir Fortov, Russian Minister of
Science,
and Dr. Reinhard Hopfl, a high ranking German physicist, head Russian and
German scientific teams which have joined with Rhombic Corporation in the
production of DCM particles in the U.S. and/or Russia.
The DCM plasmas can be produced as catalysts, as abrasive wear-resistant
grinding materials of high strength, and as intermediate material for
soldering or welding of various ceramic and other nonmetal items with metals
such a solder for the junction of high temperature superconductors and
electric current leads.
A special application is a coating that leads to a very low cost conversion
of long lived nuclear wastes from nuclear reactors into stable nuclides or
the eliminations of the radio active plutonium by transmutation into
uranium.
This potential of DCM plasmas to neutralize radio active wastes opens the
door for Rhombic Corporation to enter the billion dollar waste site clean up
business that plagues the world with toxins.
According to Rhombic's scientists, all of the known manufacturing methods
for
these DCM materials are either insufficient in the continuity of the
coating,
or the coating does not adhere adequately to the particles of the initial
material, resulting in a degradation of the strength of the product.
Rhombic's DCM acquisition assures that the active components have strong
adhesive qualities and a long DCM lifetime.
On April 14, 1999, Rhombic announced a six weeks feasibility study being
produced by three major computer corporations on the applications and
economic viability of Rhombic's diamond technology.
The Nuclid Battery
The nuclid battery which is a more advanced version of the nuclear battery,
owned 100% by Rhombic Corporation, produces energy from the breakdown of
unstable isotopes of a number of basic elements such as Krypton, Strontium,
and Cesium. The battery's single purpose is to provide a generation or more
of constant energy for both manned and unmanned space flights to nearby
planets and eventually outer space.
Dr. Reinhard Hopfl of Germany, represented Rhombic Corporation's nuclid
battery at the Geneva, Switzerland June 12-14, 1999 summit meeting of
International Computer and Communications. Initial contacts have been made
among the top producers of satellites during the IC&C summit. The Russian
Academy of Sciences was among new members being sponsored. Rhombic
Corporation soon will have the honor of being considered as a member.
Special Update - On April 9, 1999 a special report was released on the
Nuclid
Battery which stated, "Recent planning among the Russian and German
co-inventors of the Rhombic Radio Nuclid Battery (Dust Plasma Battery)
includes information about extensive experiments by the Russian Academy of
Sciences with anticipated new runs on the MIR Space Station.
Members of the forthcoming International Space Laboratory, after docking its
third module, and scheduling astronauts for the year 2000, will provide a
priority experiment in space to be performed by the Rhombic Dust plasma
Battery.
The last experiments in the MIR space station were continued throughout
January 1999, and are still being evaluated at present. One of the first
experiments in the manned flight in early 2000 will be on dust plasmas. A
Russian team will cooperate in the experiment with a team from the Max Plank
Institute in Germany.
Dr. Heinrich Hora, representing Rhombic Corporation, recently initiated
contact with the International Computer and Communication Corporation (IC&C)
in Reston, Virginia in order to promote the Battery for use in the low
orbital communication satellites being launched in the near future to
accommodate the quickly expanding cellular and internet business.
Large-scale
development and mass production of the Battery may necessitate the
involvement of a large satellite company or a consortium of them. Doctor
Hora's contacts with communication companies, in particular IC&C, may help
Rhombic in these developments.
Dr. Hora's latest report indicates that the much lighter weight and lesser
cost of Rhombic's Super Compact Battery may prove essential to reduce the
projected cost of the first 400 satellites into space. Former vice
president
of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Dr. Vladimir Fortov, lately reported to
Dr. Hora that there has been "extensive progress" of work on the SRB with
dust plasmas.
Diamond Flywheel Battery
In May 1997, Rhombic Corporation acquired a method for storing large amounts
of electrical energy for both portable and fixed applications. The
acquisition, named "The Diamond Electromechanical Battery" with a patent
application in Germany, is a specialized variation of the high-velocity
flywheel technology for its first-time use of diamond layers as a flywheel
reinforcement. Rhombic was selected to develop the diamond flywheel battery
by a team of German and American inventors because of the company's
intensive
involvement in forced diffusion.
Rhostar.com and the Rhombic Explorer
RhoStar.com will offer an innovative online distribution channel for
software
and information products. Their mission is to provide product developers and
consumers with new and more powerful relationships and will offer a
qualitatively distinct method for achieving rapid results
A spinoff of Rhombic Corporation, RhoStar.com is in the planning stages to
be
an online distribution channel offering product developers a self-selecting
means to achieve faster market penetration. The customers will become the
distribution channel and each party will benefit. Initial products for this
distribution channel will include the Rhombic Explorer.
The Rhombic Explorer will make life easier for millions of Internet users.
It
will also make thousands of organizations more efficient and productive
because the Rhombic Explorer will provide a powerful tool for gathering
information automating the painstaking and tedious process of manual web
surfing. The Rhombic Explorer will accomplish this by giving consumers and
organizations a new set of capabilities.
The Rhostar website is now under construction and may be viewed at
rhostar.com.
Overview of the Software
The Rhombic Explorer will automate Web searching, the most commonplace and
time wasting task performed on the Internet. This task has only been
possible
for a few years so the opportunity to automate it has only now emerged. The
Rhombic Explorer integrates familiar design principles from other kinds of
software, making it easy to use and to understand. It provides new powers
and
tremendous convenience and timesaving to every individual and every
organization that uses the World Wide Web. It is a new type of software,
with
all the potential that statement implies.
Individual Benefits include: * Automates a slow, manual task * Uses off peak
hours
* Prevents redundant searching * Provides condensed versions of sites *
Reduction of online charges * Corporate Benefits * Reduced staff costs.
Employees are freed to perform other tasks. * Improved staff productivity *
Reduced communication costs. Queries can be consolidated and executed at the
most cost effective times and dates.
* Central coordination of searches for improved efficiency and supervision
* Elimination of duplicate searches * Accelerated response when queries
yield
sites already searched. Instead of downloading and scanning a site, taking
many minutes, the database constructs a response in seconds. * Automated
construction and maintenance of a corporate knowledge base
Millions of individuals and knowledge workers spend more time surfing the
Web
than on any other Internet activity. 72% of Internet users surf the web at
least once a day, 41% 6-10 hours a week. Searching the Web is fun, but it is
also a slow, painstaking and inefficient manual process. The fun wears off,
but the work remains. Studies of Internet usage by SunSoft and others reveal
harried workers racing through web pages under deadlines, scanning rather
than reading web copy, missing most of the available information for
research
tasks, and duplicating their own searches and those of their co-workers. The
costs and waste are enormous.
Individual users suffer the same frustration and inconvenience. Stymied by
slow response times and frequent dropouts during peak usage hours, many
North
American users do their Web research in the small hours of the morning, when
they should be sleeping, or after getting up very early. This leads to
increased fatigue and stress, and a host of secondary health and
productivity
effects in the workplace.
The Rhombic Explorer solves these problems neatly. It provides an easy,
convenient way to automate manual work. The benefits provided to individuals
are multiplied when used by organizations. The Rhombic Explorer is a new
class of software that creates a vast new market. Powerful cost/benefit
justifications open up the corporate and government markets.
FaxKey
The FaxKey will be a compact, simple device to send, store and receive
secure
facsimile documents without demanding any action beyond the insertion of a
key. Both the sender and the receiver are freed from the need to key in pass
codes or instruction sequences. The security provided would be equivalent to
that provided by more complex protocols without demanding error-prone extra
steps. The competitive advantage of this design lies in its ability to offer
convenient and flexible security at low cost.
The FaxKey will be a separate device, able to operate with any fax. The only
connection to the fax unit would be a short length of phone line. Power
requirements will be small because the FaxKey design will employ low power
chipsets like those in palmtop or laptop computers. No power cord is
required
because it will draw power from the phone jack (as standard telephones do).
The FaxKey would be a simpler device than a computer, with a low parts
count.
When not encrypting, decrypting, or storing secure faxes the FaxKey will act
as a passive buffer, taking no action. The FaxKey will offer the option of
storing printout faxes if the connecting fax unit is unavailable, for
example
when connected to a personal computer, which may be turned off or removed.
Equity Financing
On January 11, 1999, Rhombic announced the completion of a $300,000 504
financing through a group of its current shareholders of 2 million shares at
15 cents. The $300,000 has been put in trust, to be used exclusively for
Rhombic to open its Diamond Forced diffusion facility in Columbia, Missouri.
Rhombic has established a Finance Committee to approve budgets and allocate
the appropriate funds for the Missouri plant and any other major
expenditures.
