This thread is for discussion of Nano-Propreietary Inc(NNPP). They are the parent company of Applied Nanotech, who already has products on the mkt. They sell carbon nanotubes and nonocrystals. They have over 70 filed patents relating to nanotechnology. Company Overview Status: Fully owned subsidiary of Nano-Proprietary, Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: NNPP) Location: 3006 Longhorn Blvd., Suite 107 Austin, TX 78758 Phone: 512-339-5020 Fax: 512-339-5021 Summary: Applied Nanotech, Inc. (ANI) is a subsidiary of Nano-Proprietary, Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: NNPP). Nano-Proprietary (previously SI Diamond) was incorporated in 1989 and went public in 1993. Through ANI, Nano-Proprietary has an extensive intellectual property portfolio (over 70 issued and over 40 filed patents) in the field of nanotechnology and a well-trained and well-managed nanotechnology research and development team. Their patent portfolio includes multiple fundamental claims for carbon nanotubes field emissions cathodes, which enables the company to further control critical components of nanotechnology, and advance its commercial vision of the technology. Currently ANI is in advanced development for the application of electron emitting carbon nanotubes cathodes in a number of areas, including large area color televisions, new lighting devices, x-ray, and microwave generators. Applied Nanotech is also advanced in the area of nanotechnology for sensors, where research and development using nanotechnology involves interaction at the molecular and particle level. ANI experts are also working on new nano materials that are, or will be necessary for specific applications – including some that do not necessarily exist yet. Officers: Dr. Zvi Yaniv, CEO of Applied Nanotech, Inc. Marc Eller, CEO of Nano-Proprietary, Inc. Douglas Baker, CFO of Nano-Proprietary, Inc. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Nanotechnology’s Purposes, Applications & Impact on Applied Nanotech’s Strategy Nanotechnology is a new scientific field evolving from material-specific peculiarities of existing substances when their sizes become nanometric (one nanometer corresponds to the millionth part of one millimeter). The hierarchical organization of particle sizes as a function of system complexity is shown in figure 1. The building blocks of nanotechnology are defined by the transformation of materials, products, and systems and their contribution to our society (see figure 2). The Building Blocks of Nanotechnology Ultra-Thin Layers & Precise Surfaces: Functional ultra-thin layers will enable the development of new products Nanotechnology requires higher quality surfaces Achieving thin layers with pre-designed functions and characteristics Integration of all types of materials such as inorganic, organic and biological Applications: actuators, membranes, catalysts, inhibitors, sensors, new optical elements, new surface preparation techniques, etc. Top Down Nanostructures Extension of Moore’s Law will require the transition from microelectronics to nanoelectronics Extension of the current lithographic limits New understanding of the laws of physics as we transition from continuum to quantum Applications: new techniques and equipment will be developed and employed to create sub-100 nanometer scale structures (i.e. writing with light, nano-printing, particle beams, etc.) Bottom Up Structures Self-organization, exploiting specific properties of boundary surfaces and the coupling of molecular systems to specific prepared surfaces New electrical and optical functions due to quantum confinement Development of novel concepts for the manipulation, transfer and storage of ‘spins’ Carbon nanotubes and nanowires Allows full convergence of nanotechnology and biotechnology Applications: sensors for medical and chemical industries, ultra-fast logic and non-volatile memories, high mobility organic materials, new high dielectric constant materials, etc. Analytical Instrumentation for Nanostructures Probing, observation and manipulation of nanostructures Extension of the current analytical tools to the nanometric scale Molecular probes will be needed for medical an biological applications Metrological issues related to positioning and measuring with sub-nanometer accuracy needs to be solved New inspection and repair techniques Faster wafer inspection with 20-nanometer resolution New materials analytical instrumentation for solving ecological problems Applications: atomic force microscopy, high resolution electron microscopy, utilization of particles and elementary particle beams, field emission techniques, NMR, photo-electron emission microscopy, massive parallel e-beam inspection, etc. Integration of Nanomaterials and Molecular Structures Nanoparticles have characteristics settled between atoms/molecules and solid state bulk materials Development of nanotechnology toolbox for probing single molecules Design, study and control of functions at the molecular level Understanding how molecular interfaces work Applications: new techniques will be developed to provide the design of new materials through a sequence starting from the understanding of the molecular properties, the formation of nanoparticles, the integration of the nanoparticles in the bulk material, and finally ending with a desired functional device Simulation Techniques (Software) for Nanomaterials Nanotechnology is very interdisciplinary Large volume of knowledge in many fields must be accessible on a just-in-time basis Need to have access to the latest informatics in the nanotechnology field Applications: simulation techniques and products can save time and money by combining the following elements: Conceptual design systems for idea generation Systematization according to each technical category utilized Up-to-date scientific papers, patent and other information in all fields Adequate modeling and simulation tools Nanotechnology and Biotechnology Convergence DNA molecules and other important biomaterials are nanometric Nanotechnology will offer the capability to build inorganic devices with features so small that they can interact with cells, biomolecules and DNA Nanofluidics and MEMs will accelerate the utilization of high throughput biomolecular characterization Applications: lab-on-a-chip, drug discovery, screening, new clinic diagnostic techniques, achieving active devices combining materials and processes from the living and non-living worlds. Applied Nanotech’s Strategy Exploit the strength of the intellectual property and the engineering experience accumulated over the years in the utilization of electron emission from carbon films/nanotubes for large area, flat screen TVs Identify and focus on very large markets where nanotechnology can, in the present, play an important role following the nanotechnology food chain (see figure 3) What we believe is needed to succeed: New techniques must be discovered to organize, characterize and manipulate these individual nanoscale elements Insights into self-organization principles of these nanoelements are necessary Implementation of nanoscale architectures with new microscopic and macroscopic functions Unification of processes from the living to the non-living worlds Design and production of new artificial materials: stronger, lighter, with pre-defined optical and electronic properties, etc. | ||||||||||||||
