API from a recent article in Crain's Business "In 2000, Picometrix won an R&D 100 award from R&D Magazine. The awards are given to what the magazine considers the 100 most technologically significant products developed annually. That same year, Laurin Publishing Co. gave Picometrix an award of distinction for its terahertz advancement. The company awards 25 companies annually that push the limits of technology to develop new photonic products and processes. From that technology, Picometrix developed the T-Ray 2000, a machine that includes a handheld scanner and could be used in a setting such as the fuel tank's manufacturing plant. ``This is one of the best examples of terahertz technology in use,' said Xi-Cheng Zhang, professor in the department of physics at the Troy, N.Y.-based Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. Zhang studies terahertz technology and consults several companies on the subject. He does not work with Picometrix or NASA. Zhang, however, said he is aware of Picometrix because co-founder Steven Williamson has attended some of his lectures on the subject and he knows about the T-Ray 2000 machines being used by NASA. ``I know them very well,' Zhang said. ``They are a very good company.'
