EoPlex Technologies Presents at Tokyo University
Redwood City, CA – June 13, 2007 - Arthur L. Chait, CEO of EoPlex Technologies Inc presented a guest lecture at Tokyo University on the application of the company's advanced materials technology to create miniature devices.
Mr. Chait was invited to deliver this lecture by the University of Tokyo and the MEMS Forum of Japan at their spring meeting. Mr. Chait was in Japan for a week long series of meetings in Tokyo, Yokohama, and Tsukuba with government agencies, research institutes and selected industrial companies.
MEMS Forum was co-sponsored in the event by the Advanced Science and Technology Institute (ASTI). Along with the MEMS (Micro-Electromechanical Systems) Forum, ASTI aims to conduct scientific research and development in the advanced fields of information and communications technology and microelectronics.
Chait, who is a former Senior Vice President of Solectron Corporation and a Rutgers Graduate in Advanced Materials Engineering, gave a detailed exposition of the EoPlex technique for the manufacture of miniature devices. He explored various applications including energy harvesting devices, fuel cell components, wireless sensors and thermal energy management devices.
Chait lectured on the EoPlex platform technology that builds complex, components on a small, customizable scale. He described how the EoPlex technique enables manufacturing of any number of custom mechanical, electronic, fluidic and chemical components in layers without regard to the complexity of the design or the number of substrate materials that go into a single finished component.
Audience members included scientists, academicians, researchers and students. Also attending were leaders from industry, as well as representatives from ASTI and from the Japanese press.
About EoPlex Technologies, Inc.
EoPlex Technologies produces components in layers using custom printing equipment and proprietary "inks" that carry ceramic, metallic or polymer materials to millions of locations. This allows the manufacture of components with integrated chambers, channels, sensors, circuits, reactors, energy scavengers, and other features. Many parts are created simultaneously in large panels and the only tooling required is low-cost printing masks. As a result, there is great flexibility to change designs quickly, allowing fast time to market and even modifications during full production runs. EoPlex is a privately held company based in Redwood City, CA and is backed by ATA Ventures, Draper Fisher Jurvetson, Labrador Ventures, and Draper-Richards.
