Seraphima Ventures LLC is focusing on mainly nanotechnology startup companies with existing products, not blue sky research. The current venture capital business models are not appropriate for investing in Nanotechnology. We are proposing a new business model which combines the best of both worlds of venture capital and angel investing which is a more hands-on approach to managing companies to success. Seraphima is a play on the word "seraphim", an angel, for the investment approach of this fund. This does not mean we are limited to funding with angel money.

Nanotechnologies have potential to add significant value in performance and eventually lower cost to many products across all sectors. These commercial benefits are happening much sooner than most people think.

President Bush in his January 2006 State of the Union address says he wishes to double funding in R&D including nanotechnology. By the end of 2005, governments spent US$18 Billion of taxpayer money into nanotech R&D. US$6 Billion are forecast for 2006. President Bush signed the Nanotech bill on Wednesday, December 3, 2003 for US$3.7 Billion over the next 4 years starting 2005 for nanotech research. This does not even include the nanotechnology funding set aside for military and defense related applications. The signing of the bill by President Bush makes nanotechnology the highest federally funded basic science and technology effort since the space race. The US only makes up about 25% of the global government spending on nanotech research with Japan just slightly ahead of the US. An NSF report states that Nanotech has the potential to grow to a US$1 Trillion per year industry.

It mainly specializes in R&D, manufacture, and sales of the PLI batteries and other related products. At present it has the daily 5Ah production capacity line for the PLI battery and daily 1000 pieces of assembly line for miner’s lamp. The company has obtained the national patent rights and IPR for the PLI battery.Now the PLI battery has a wide application in the following aspects:
Civil use: mobiles, wireless earphones, MP3players, digital cameras, laptop, portable DVDs, PDAs. Industrial use: mining industry, machinery.
Transport use: electric buses, electric sedans, electric motorbikes, electric bikes, and vessels.
Military use:
Other uses: road lamps, electrothermal waistcoats, trousers, and shoes and external power.
Now the company is committing itself to R and D, manufacture of nanometer material battery and in the meanwhile we are applying for the US patent.
ABAT has an abundance of human resources of various kinds. The whole staff of the company is nearly one thousand and their average age is 30years and those above junior college degrees makes up 25% of the total including 16 senior management person, 18 doctors, 10 person with double master's degree, 21 masters, 120 technical person, 40 R and D intellectuals. The leading team of the company all possesses wealthy working and leading experiences from the world famous companies and the workers at the production line are very accomplished in operating skills and excellent overall qualities .
ABAT has nurtured its own well-trained technical support team and sales team that will keep close contact with the customers at all times to offer an excellent technical and after-sale service. In the meanwhile we will provide comprehensive solutions for the customers on power supply with special type demand and special purpose. In the competitive domestic and international environment,ABAT deemed the rejuvenation of the national industries as its duty, pressed ahead regardless of any hardships and mapped out its own blueprint of industrialized production of PLI batteries by relying on its own technologies and sticking to the national industries road with Chinese characteristics.
ABAT’s production base Heilongjiang Zhongqiang Power-tech Inc (ZQPT) is Located in Shuangcheng City, an ancient city with beautiful scenery of Heilongjiang Province. This ancient city was formed in China’s late Ming and Qing Dynasty with splendid culture and a long history. It is only 30km away from Harbin, the capital city of Heilongjiang Province and 24km from the Harbin Taiping International Airport. It is an important junction for China’s northeastern region that connects the airlines, railways railroad waterways worldwide. Zhongqiang Power-tech Inc was founded in September 2000. Its total assets are 0.2 billion RMB with registered capital of 68,350,000 RMB. The total ground area is 13.6 hectare of which the plant and its attached buildings cover 5 hectare. With a sound industrial supported facilities and equipment, senior technicians, a modernized high-tech industrial garden has been formed in ZQPT.
Looking at this volatile information-based society, studying and weighing the situations while closely keeping up with the market changes and the development of the advanced power supply technologies, the leading team of ABAT has made objective planning of its short-term goal: go all out to concentrate on increasing the scale of PLI battery within the recent three years to ensure a gradual occupancy of the majority of domestic and international market shares, in the meanwhile speed up the R and D of the nanometer material and try to realize the industrialized production in the shortest time. ABAT will continue to stick to the principle of generational upgrading of our products and take a establish-brand road to strive for the peak in the chemical power supply field to create a further brilliance.

We at Cerion Technology, Inc. believe that a US transportation industry based upon diesel power, even more desirably, diesel-electric hybrid power, will substantially lessen our dependence upon foreign oil and significantly contribute to the reduction in the growth of greenhouse gases. The attractiveness of the diesel engine's many advantages over gasoline (spark ignition) engines (25% greater thermodynamic efficiency, 50% greater oil refinery yield of diesel relative to gasoline and 30% well-to-wheel efficiency of diesel electric hybrids, compared to 13% for hydrogen fuel cells) are somewhat diminished by the diesel engine's emissions of particulate matter (soot) and oxides of nitrogen (NOx). CTI's diesel products, coupled with diesel oxidation catalytic converters mandated by the 2007 EPA emissions standards directly address and ameliorate these emissions issues.

PharmaNova’s Medisperse™ nanoparticle technology offers the potential for numerous fast-to-market products. Many APIs and potential drugs are so poorly soluble in water that bioavailability is significantly reduced and some routes of administration are not feasible without chemical modification of the API or the addition of potentially harmful solubilizing agents. Nanoparticle technology is one of the most exciting developments in pharmaceutical formulation science in decades and PharmaNova expects to be a world leader in its application to pharmaceuticals. The reduction of particles to sub-micron dimensions introduces dramatic changes in the physico-chemical properties of compounds enabling many formulation and delivery options previously not feasible.

Key Features:
• Spherical amorphous nanoparticles or nanocrystals
• Particle sizes from 10nM to 10µM
• Narrow particle size range around the mean
• Highly scaleable process from laboratory to manufacture
• Compatible with many formulation and delivery systems
