Excellatron (www.excellatron.com) is introducing innovative and enabling energy storage technology. This technology provides the basis for micro batteries, nano batteries, and other nano technology applications. These batteries have the potential for high energy and high power (4 to 10 times that available in traditional battery technologies). These batteries are also intrinsically safe. They can withstand high temperatures (up to 300ºC). The batteries can also be made to any size and shape desired. They can also be flexible for credit card applications. They are also ideal for asset tracking applications

Markets for this technology include military applications, implantable medical devices, and other applications that require high performance. This technology will also enable a series of new products where existing battery technology cannot compete, e.g., Smart Cards, active Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) tags, and Micro Electro-Mechanical Systems (MEMS).

Excellatron has moved thin film battery technology far beyond laboratory development and has created the state of the art production technology that makes thin film batteries commercially viable. With our progress in Plasma Enhanced Chemical Vapor Deposition (PECVD) production technology, the cost of TFB (thin film batteries) manufacturing will be significantly reduced. We believe that Excellatron's thin film batteries will play a significant role in the emerging active smart card and RFID tag markets for both civilian and military applications, including Homeland Security related applications.

From cell phones to advanced medical diagnostics, our everyday lives are affected by miniaturized devices. These devices have allowed us to communicate more efficiently, share information more readily, travel with increased safety, and receive the best medical care available.

While the advantages of microtechnology are being utilized in numerous markets, technology boundaries along with production shortfalls has limited their proliferation in many emergent fields-preventing new product innovations from coming to market.

Focal Point has found a solution. With blocking patents on materials and methods, Focal Point will present a rapid, reliable, and inexpensive fabrication system-from prototype to manufacture. Focal Point's bench-top system, the 3DLM, will be used for the rapid prototyping of nano and microdevices in a single-step and a second generation, the 3DLMX, will be used for industrial manufacturing.

Focal Point is focused on placing these microfabrication systems in customer facilities and supplying them with media cartridges of high-performance proprietary materials that provide the-state-of-the art in speed, resolution, and reliability.

The Focal Point system holds promise for manufacturing breakthroughs in biotechnology, defense, nanotechnology, consumer-electronics, and countless

Research into the properties of nanometer-scale single crystallites has recently matured into a field that is both fundamental and wide-ranging, although a major source of motivation arises from natural phenomena and from technological questions concerning ultimate limits on the miniaturization of solid-state device elements.

The electronic, optical and magnetic properties of nanocrystals are modified from those of extended solids by the quantum size effects, which arise from the discreteness of the energy level structure and finiteness of the number of electrons within a band. These are also under investigation by spectroscopic methods, both for isolated particles and for those in arrays of weakly coupled equivalent crystallites. These arrays constitute a novel material form with high potential for unusual and useful properties.

Theoretical modelling, or simulations, are critical in establishing ideas and models for the structural, processing, and other properties of nanocrystals; supercomputer-based simulations are carried out in association with the Georgia Tech Center for Computational Materials Science.
