UNDERLYING TECHNOLOGY
Stillwater has developed axial-TOF,
an advanced spectrometry technology using a high throughput,
psuedo-random binary sequence time-of-flight (PRBS-TOF) beam modulation
technique coupled with advanced data recovery methods.
Stillwater's axial-TOF technology enables
the development of instruments and systems, such as a Mass Spectrometer
to perform measurements faster, more efficiently, with a larger dynamic
range, higher sensitivity, higher mass range, with better mass accuracy
and be constructed with less complexity than competing technologies.
KEY INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY
Stillwater has been granted the following
patents from the United States Patent & Trademark Office relating
to Time-Of-Flight Mass Spectrometry:
USPTO Patent #6,782,342, Awarded August
